Jai laughed, noticing how red I’d gone "you sure you don’t want that drink?" I looked up at him, examining his face a little more; now we were even closer I noticed two scars on his forehead, he caught me staring and turned his head the other way.
"How you get them?" I asked, not thinking that this was probably personal.
A worried smile crossed his lips "they're just battle wounds I guess" noticing how clammy he had suddenly become I decided not to say anymore.
"so, you want that drink?" he smiled.
"Go on then" I nodded, digging around in my pocket for some change. He saw me take out a fiver and shook his head "I’m paying silly" and with that he called Mitch over again.
I necked the strange blue liquid and blinked hard. Jai laughed the real kind of laugh that makes you feel all fuzzy inside. I smiled "what WAS that?!"
Mitch heard "secret ingredient missy"
I giggled, feeling even dizzier than before. "Just gonna go to the loo" I said, slowly standing up from the stool. But I wobbled on my high heels and felt myself fall towards the ground, but I felt strong arms grab onto my waist and pull me up right. For a few seconds his arms stayed wrapped around me, and I couldn’t help but close my eyes and pretend that his arms were Jacks. Without realising it a tear slowly made its way down my cheek. Letting go of me jai frowned "what’s wrong?" I shook my head not wanting to speak for fear of breaking down in front of him. But he wouldn’t leave it "no what’s happened what have I done?" that’s when the tears really started to fall and I couldn’t stop crying.
"What have you done?" I heard Hannah come over "what have you said to her you prick" jai looked stunned "I- I don’t know I haven’t done anything."
"Bullshit she’s crying for fuck sake what have you SAID" I couldn’t handle them seeing me crying so decided to run outside through the fire exit.
Leaning against the freezing brick wall I let myself cry. Every time I shut my eyes I saw jack's face which made me cry even more. I must have looked crazy but at that moment all I wanted was jack.
"Lilly?" I heard jai's voice, he sounded worried.
I blinked, hard. And sniffed "yes" I squeaked pathetically.
He looked down at me, a crease formed on his forehead as he frowned "what was all that about?" he sighed, leaning against the wall and sliding down it so he was at my level.
I licked my lips "nothing" this didn’t sound convincing and was probably a stupid thing to say.
He shook his head "come on, what was it? What did I do?" I could see the confusion in his eyes, this made me feel guilty. He thought it was his fault, he'd done nothing wrong.
"You didn't do anything" I mumbled
"well what was it then? why did you cry?"
"iris- it doesn't matter."
there was a long pause until he pulled himself up and looked down at me "well it does but okay" biting his lip, he looked inside the club "we might as well enjoy ourselves" following his gaze, I nodded. He held out a hand and pulled me up.
For what seemed like eternity, we stared at each other. His eyes shining from the street lamps. I bit my lip, thinking twice before tugging him inside. When I looked back, he was still stood there, with his head in his hands. I decided to leave him and made my way into the toilets to fix my makeup. But as I walked in, there was a man stood at the sinks "oh shit sorry" I mumbled, turning on my heels "no love these are uni-sex" he smiled, I must admit he looked like a pedophile but I decided to fake a smile back and made my way over to the sink on the other side.
