Chapter 04

First, Hi guys! Thank you for coming back to read one more chapter of our story! :D

Before we start our adventure LOL, this music I just put 'cause I really like it, and is an awesome music *-* Madi Diaz - Ashes, for those who like Originals, well this music played on the last chapter of the last season (: So, let's get straight to the story!

~ wish you to have pleasant reading ~

He entered the cab and sat by my side, I am sitting in the middle, Mish leaning her head on my left shoulder, falling asleep after a few minutes. Enzo cleared his throat, "I'm really sorry for what happened with your friend." He said quietly looking at me. "You don't need to be sorry, we actually have to thank you for what you did for her, if wasn't for you God know what could've happened." I told him looking down at my lap. He smiled at me. "My name is Enzo." I nodded, "Livya." I smiled timidly.

Looking at him, I saw a bruise in the corner of his lips, his shirt with some rips as well. "Did he hurt you?" I asked him looking at the bruise on his lips and at his torn shirt. He realized what I was talking about, he touched the left corner of his lips frowning a little at the pain. "No, I'm fine, it's just a bruise, I'm still impressed for the punch you gave him back there." He said trying to start a conversation. "I know, I can't believe in what I did, it's just that I get so pissed some times that I can't think straight, when I realize, all the damage is done." I said looking at my right hand that was sore and starting to get some bruises on the knuckles.

"You can put some ice on it when you get home, it really helps to decrese the soreness." He said looking at my hand that was on my lap. "Okay, I think you might need it as well." I said pointing to his knuckles that had some blood on them, he nodded smiling while he opened and closed his fingers looking at it.

Arriving at Mish's house, we paid the taxist and Enzo helped me to get her out of the car, holding Mish on his arms, still sleeping, probably under the effect of something that the guy gave to her. I knocked on her house's door, waiting for someone to open it while Enzo was still holding her.

Her brother oppened the door looking like he just got out of bed, seeing his sister on Enzo's arms, he bulged his eyes worried. "Who's this guy?" He asked opening the door for us to enter, staring at Enzo. "Calm down Yuji, he helped us." I tried to explain. "What happened?" He asked worried pointing to the couch, to Enzo lay her there. "We were dancing with two guys, they seemed nice you know, I just got distracted for one second and she disappeared, then suddenly some people darted to the toilet's direction, when I got there, I saw Mish crying and Enzo yelling at the guy she was dancing with." I said looking down at my hands ashamed for my inattention.

"So, explain to me what exactly happened?" He asked for us crossing his arms on his chest. Enzo put his hands on the front pocket of his jeans and shrudded. "I don't know exactly what happened, when I was getting out of the toilet towards the dance floor, I saw her asking the guy to stop, to let her go, he got her pinned against the wall, one hand on her hips and the other holding the back of her neck, she was pushing his shoulder and trying to turn her face, trying to make him stop. When I saw what was happening, I got really pissed 'cause he was obviously abusing her, she was visibly under the effect of some drugs, she seemed to have no strenght at all against him, so I pulled him away from her and punched his face a few times.." He explained

"And did he said what he gave her?" Yuji asked us. "No, she just said that he gave her some kind of sweet drink, but I guess drugged her so she wouldn't resist if he tried something, you know... When I saw what was happening, I just wanted to take her out there fast. She fell asleep we got inside the cab." I explained to Yuji while he was eyeing us suspiciously. He went to the couch, kneeled in front of his sister, and checked if she was breathing normaly also holding her wrist, counting her heartbeats. "She's fine I guess, he must have given her some drug that made her sleepily, she will probably sleep until tomorrow morning. I will take Mish to her bedroom, so she can rest properly." He said taking her on his arms. I nodded following him through the stairs.

"You can go now Liv, I'll take care of her until tomorrow morning. When she wake up, I'll call you." He said laying her on the bed. I nodded adjusting some pillows under her head. "Fine, anyway I'll come to see her tomorrow, you calling me or not." I assured him. "Okay, bye Liv." I waved him bye and went down the stairs.

Enzo was standing beside the front door when I reached the first floor. "You didn't had to wait for me Enzo, I can go home from here, my car is right outside." I pointed to my car while we went out through the front door. He smiled at me asking. "Do you live far from here?" I smiled back unlocking my car. "Actually no, my house is about fifteen minutes from here." He just nodded. "Can you give me a ride?" Enzo asked timidly. "Sure." I smiled at him.

"So, where's your house?" I asked starting my car, I buckling my seatbelt as the speakers started to play Ride from SoMo. "I live close to that mall, Jusco you know?" He asked me buckling his seatbelt too. "Alright, I'll get there, then you explain to me more specifically." I said while pulling out of Mish's house.

Resting my right arm on the open window, I tapped the steering wheel listening to the music, feeling fresh night breeze. "So, can I ask you something?" Enzo said looking at me. "Sure." I said looking to the road. "Sorry, Are you that girl that I saw at the bar today?" He asked looking at me curious. I nodded. "Yes, we met today right when I was us getting something to drink." I answered bitting my bottom lip. "Oh, I knew it, but I think I might've met you before.." He said still looking at me, I huffed feeling that I had to tell him. "We are studying on the same college." I admitted glancing at him and blushing. "Oh, really?" Enzo said thoughtful, I just kept driving, not wanting to tell him the whole story. "I remember now, we bumped into each other while I was getting out of Starbucks.. " He explained and I just nodded not knowing where this whole thing would get, 'cause on that day he asked me if we've met before as well, and I lied.
