Mine (Part III) - Nolou/Uglydolls Fanfic

5 | Fake Sleep

My heart was pounding.
I told myself to calm down, but I couldn't. I was running around frantically like a chicken with his head cut off. 

I had one job and I failed. 

I checked outside.
I checked the kitchen.
I checked everywhere.

Everywhere except the upstairs. But noone was up there. Whoever hosted the party made it a rule that noone go upstairs.
I had a bad feeling.

I pulled out my phone and called Taylor. I wasn't sure if Instachat calls would ring or make noise, but I had to try.

So I pressed the call option and listened closely.

" I don't know about you ~
But I'm feeling 22 ~ "

I didn't waste a second and stormed up the stairs. I checked the rooms until I found one with people in it. But not just any people. 3 men. 1 girl. Taylor.

She was talking but I couldn't make out what she was saying.
The men were gathered around her speaking in a language I wasn't familiar with.

"Excuse me."

They turned to look at me with annoyed expressions. Taylor's dress was still on, thankfully. So were her shoes and jewelry. Obviously I had to get her out of there. But I had to play safe. I wouldn't stand a chance against 3 other guys on my own.

I walked into the room and just focused on the girl.

"Taylor? Let's go. It's getting late. "

I grabbed her by the wrist. She didn't react at all. Just humming the same tune her ringtone was.

One of the men pushed me away from her.

"Don't touch me. I would just like to bring my friend home."

I could look at them closer now. The gleam in their eyes was one I had seen before. The look of a disturbed man who intended to satisfy himself. They had the same toxic vibe. 

I would definately win againt 1. But 3?

?: "We're gonna borrow her for a bit, eh?"

One of them sat next to her and played with her hair. She didn't react at all. She must've fallen asleep.

"Don't touch her."

?: "Maybe he's jealous."

?: "Is he her boyfriend?"

?: "May we'll play with him, too. If he's so eager to join. "

?: "Nah, man. That's gay."

I got up quickly and picked her up with a hug. My grip wasn't good, but I just ran with her as quick as I could. Down the stairs and past all the drunk zombies dancing the Macarena. The men were following after me so all I could do was keep running.

I finally got outside. But I ran into someone. Literally.

"Ah!"

I fell to the floor along with Taylor.
My heart was beating so fast, I almost didn't look to see who it was. I just needed to get her away fast.

Nolan: "Are you ok-? Lou?"

"Nolan.."

Nolan: "Why are you running around like that?... Is that Taylor?"

"Yeah. She's-"

I could see the men in the distance. They stopped for a moment and stared at us.
Perhaps they were trying to see who Nolan was. If he was a threat.
