Cliché, Complicated and Confusing.

What the hell was he doing here?

I walk through the tables while everyone was still eating. I make the mistake of making eye contact with my dad sadly. I could not walk to Freddie now. He would simply get up and follow me. So, I just walk back to the table looking a little lost. ''Whats wrong?'' Dylan asks looking at me. ''Nothing.'' I say playing with my extensions. ''Are you sure?'' He asks. I nod and he gets up.

''Okay fine. Freddie is here.'' I say looking at Freddie who stood at the side on his own. He had his hands in his pockets and wore a suit simply looking around. Dylan looks at him and sighs. ''Why?''

''Someone, not me, put him on the guest list." Emily and Marshall both caught on and tell Rachel what is happening without Noah's friends hearing. ''I'm gonna ask what he wants.'' I say and Dylan frowns. ''Are you sure?''

''Yeah.''

''Were coming.'' Emily says getting up. ''We do not need to attract attention.'' I say and Dylan shrugs. ''Tell him to fuck off or I will.'' Dylan says and I roll my eyes. ''Fine.'' I walk towards him making sure I do not trip over my dress. Emily and Dylan get up with me.

''You guys all come as a package.'' He says looking slightly drunk. From the corner of my eye I saw dad getting up and walking towards us. Nobody was paying attention to us. A lot of people were standing around.

''Shit.'' I say knowing dad is walking up to us. ''You need to leave.'' Dylan says seeing my dad.

''He's not leaving. He's going to explain why the fuck he is here.'' My dad says grabbing Freddie and pushing him against the wall with one hand on his throat. Clearly choking Freddie, Dylan pushes my dad off. ''Josh youre gonna kill him.'' Dylan says as my dad does not let go.

''Good.'' He says and I look around if anyone noticed. ''Dad stop please.'' I say and I see Romeo next to me. ''I invited him.'' I say seeing that it was not working. ''But he is leaving now.'' I quickly add as my dad lets go. Freddie finally catches his breath and coughs out. Dylan grabs his arm and pushes him out the exit that was near to him.

''You what?'' My dad asks.

''I... He...'' I did not know what to say.      
''Freya you're pushing it.'' He says clearly pissed off. ''If I see you near that kid ever again..''

''What is going on?'' My mom says looking at us. She looks at my dad and back at us.

''Why are you so angry?'' She asks and my dad doesn't even look at her. ''Lets go.'' She says pushing him back to their table. Everyone got up on their feet as the music started and Shane's voice start beaming through the speakers.

''You invited Freddie?'' Romeo asks me. I open my mouth to say something but he just shakes his head and walks off. ''I did not invite him. I just said it so dad would get off of him.'' I tell Dylan and Emily.

''Go tell Romeo. He has got the wrong idea.'' Emily says and I walk outside.  Romeo stood outside looking at his phone. He had his keys in his hand and it looked like he was ready to leave.

''Romeo.'' I say and he looks at me.

''I really cannot deal with this shit.'' He says and he carries on walking.

''Listen, I just said it to get my dad off of him. I did not wanna create bullshit at my event.''

''How did he get in?''

''His name appeared on the guest list. Someone put him on.'' I say and Romeo chuckles. ''I am supposed to believe that?''

''Yes. As your girlfriend.'' I say and he looks at me.
