To Fall or Fight?

Chapter 5

I finally reach the club, Nightlife, and I park my brand new BMW in the only spot available, towards the back of the club. After parking I open up the mirror slot, looking over my makeup and then discreetly getting out of my car. I walk through the club doors taking in the vibe; dim lights, loud music, dancing and shit load of people. Perfect way to forget about everything- or in this case, a certain someone.

As I walk through the dance-floor to the bar, I see a group of guys sitting nearby on a table looking over at me. Wear one revealing outfit and all the guys jump at you, I think, feeling a presence behind me.

"Babe, you here alone?" I hear as I turn around to find a tall, blond haired, blue-eyed, guy staring down at me. He is dressed in a sleeveless top that shows off his muscles and tattoos that cover both his arms. Overall he was a sight for sore eyes, pretty good looking. Hell who was I kidding, this guy was fucking hot but I would never tell him that.

"And if I was?" I questioned him back with a smirk. Luke forgot about me? Well, time to return the favor.

"Well, if so I would ask if you wanted to dance," he said, smirking back as he came closer to me, enclosing me between his arms and the bar counter.

"Hmm and if I said no?" I replied back, testing the waters.

"Then I would say your missing out," he says while taking a step back and holding out his hand. Without responding, I take a step closer and place my hand in his and proceed to walk to the dance floor. I turn to face mystery boy, placing my arms around his neck while he places his on my waist, pulling me closer.

"You have a name?" he questions as his fingers touch my bare waist from where my top has risen.

"Of course I do, I just don't plan on giving it out," I say, smiling.

This feels good, being able to laugh and enjoy myself. You must all be thinking, wow she's over Luke so quickly? Ten years could pass by and I still would not be over Luke, I loved him-still love him. However, there was just nothing wrong with pretending for a night that I was over him, that I was strong enough to handle all of this. As I pondered some more, I could feel my smile slip into a frown and tears glisten my lids.

"Wow, where did that beautiful smile disappear?" Mystery guy asks, concerned.

"Wouldn't want to burden you with my troubles," I chuckle sadly. The song changes and so I put my back towards Mystery Guy's front and grind into him as the pace quickens. I can feel his hands tighten on my waist, pulling me closer to him. Making me feel wanted. As the song comes to an end, I turn around and put my hands on his chest, breathless.

"Wow- u-uh want a drink? It's on me," he says, trying to fix the 'strain' against his pants.

"Lead the way," I say with a small smirk. Guys are just too easy, I think. I mean Luke gave in and cheated on me too, so what's the difference? We walk towards the bar and I take a seat as he takes one next to me, raising his hand to signal the bartender.

"I'll have a classic sangria please," I say, while mystery man orders a beer. I avert my gaze to look around the bar only to see someone I never expected to see, Xavier. I quickly turn back around so that he doesn't see me but freeze as he comes closer. Fuck, he must have seen.

"Jace! Man, long time since I've seen you." Of course, with my fate I would end up talking to someone that knows Xavier.

"You know me, just busy with things, " he says, communicating secretly with Xavier. Then he turns to glance at me and says," I'd introduce you to this beauty, but even I don't know her name." And that is when Xavier glances at me, recognition in his eyes. Oh shit.

"Jessica? What are you doing here? Does Luke know you're here?!" he asks, looking me up and down. "And what the fuck are you wearing?" He says angrily. What is it with every guy and bringing up Luke and my outfit. Can't a girl just go out and enjoy herself?

"Well, turns out you know her after all," Mystery guy, -Jace-, mutters under his breathe.

"This is a club, therefore I'm here to d-a-n-c-e and what I am wearing are c-l-o-t-h-e-s," I say to he as if he was a child.

"So Jace, you want to go somewhere else?" I turn to ask him completely ignoring Xavier.

However, before Jace can respond, Xavier angrily says," She is not going anywhere Jace, get lost!" What the fuck, who does he think he is bossing people around.

"Go screw yourself!" I say to Xavier while tugging on Jace's hand and pulling him along.

I can hear Jace mumble," Oh shit, he's going to kill me," over and over again but I just ignore him until we get outside.

"Is there any other club besides Nightlife around here?" I question him looking around to see if Xavier had followed. He didn't, thank god.

"Yeah-uh," he says scratching the back of his neck, "Around the corner."

"My car or yours, Jace?" I ask him, seductively. I step closer to him and put my arms around his neck, craning my neck to be closer to his lips.

"Y-yours." He says while pulling on my waist and furiously connecting his lips with mine. Damn did Jace know how to kiss. He pries my lips open and tangles his tongue with mines, grabbing my hair for a better angle. I would have stayed in this position if it wasn't so cold out but I could feel my legs start to lose feeling. So, I unlocked my lips from his and put my forehead against his, both of us breathing heavily.

"What the hell are you two doing?!" I hear Xavier scream, as he walks closer to us, making Jace jump back two feet. It was obvious he knew what we were doing; even I could tell my lips were swollen from the kiss and my hair looked like it got mauled by a cat. Jace wasn't looking at better because his lips were also swollen and had lipstick all over them.

"We were kind of busy," I say sarcastically, turning to look at Xavier who was steaming.

"You have a boyfriend!" He screams. Yeah, like you have every stayed loyal, wait- scratch that, you're a man-whore, so that's not even possible.

"You have a boyfriend?" Jace asks me.

"No, I don't." I sigh, way to enjoy my night.

Before any of them can respond or ask questions, the sound of multiple gunshots firing make my blood go cold. I'm pushed to the ground as Xavier jumps on me, covering my body with his. What the fuck I think, as the sudden movement makes my head slam against the concrete.

"Jace! Get them!" Xavier screams. I turn just in time to see Jace take a gun out of his back pocket and starts firing back at the retreating black vehicle.

I start to see black spots as I my vision blurs and I touch the back of my head to feel a gooey liquid; blood. As my vision blackens even further, I can hear Xavier's voice, screaming, telling me to stay awake. Before I can scream back at him for ruining my night, my head falls limp and I lose consciousness.
