He opens the door for me and we get in the car. We have this hour drive to this thing called The Lovers Ball. Odell really wanted to go so I'm taking one for the team. Here we are -

So since this ride is long I'll explain how this past 3 months went. Odell and I are building trust and it's going extremely well. He's opened up to me a lot and we've touched some topics hard for the both of us. Chris and Trey have been over a lot lately, I guess to keep him company. August has been avoiding Odell, we're not really sure why but I'm sure it'll touch the surface sooner or later. Sidka has gotten bigger and is so healthy. Jacob and I are getting really close...he's a good friend. Lately Jacob has been getting emotionally attached. He's constantly telling me to be with him and that he'll treat me better. Don't get me wrong Jacob is a great guy but he'll NEVER replace Odell. I've told Jacob to step down so many times and nothing is working, it's like he tries harder. I haven't told Odell and I don't plan on doing so. I have things under control and nothing is going to happen. I think I should also mention that although my relationship with Odell is progressing his stability isn't. He's constantly drinking non stop. It's like he's going through depression. I know that it's pretty stupid that he's opening up to me but I don't know why he's drinking. I've asking him once and he said nothing was wrong. The second time he told me to back off pretty sternly. And the third time he slammed me against the wall. Afterwards he apologized and said he didn't mean it. I only forgave him because I know he's going through something, but pull something like that again and I will fight back. I don't know if I should be worried or just give him space but something needs to change.
* Pull up to The Lovers Ball*
Odell POV -
I went and opened y/n door and guided her through this huge house. We greeted people and talked a little but nothing major. We went to the middle of the dance floor and of course we danced. It was a slow dance so I enjoyed every minute of this moment. Her head laid on my chest with her arms wrapped around my neck while we rocked back and forth. She hummed the song that played until I began singing it. She looked at me and smiled, singing along aloud with me. Y/N kept her eyes connected to mine like no one was around or looking. Once the song ended she kissed me and guided me to the bar. We ordered 1 shot each and water afterwards. As we walked back to the dance floor, some man they called Dave stopped us.
D - Aye Odell, right?
O - Umm yea
D - Aye mind if I borrow your girl? Just one dance, one song. *grabs y/n hand*
Y - Um no thanks, I'd like to stay with my boyfriend. Thank you for the offer tho
D - I didn't ask you ma'am. Now let's go!
Y - Let me go!
O - Hey! My girl said no thanks. So let her go and back off.
D - Look Odell, I don't want any trouble but it's as simple as you let me dance with your beautiful girlfriend and I leave.
O - Why my girlfriend?
D - She's what I want. And what Dave wants...Dave gets.
O - Ok first don't say your name when you're talking about yourself. It's weird and corny. Now second, my girlfriend politely declined so do us a favor and leave.
D - *lets go of y/n and punches Odell* How's that for a favor?
Y - *pushes Dave* leave him alone
O - *gets up and fights Dave*
People began to scream and run while Y/N tried to get me off Dave. I wouldn't stop punching him. So much rage in me that I couldn't stop. He disrespected my girl and I so I had to make sure he got the point. Y/N tackled me on the floor and straddled me. She placed both her hand on my cheeks and forced me to look into her eyes. She grabbed my hand placing it on her cheek.
Y - Shh just breathe
O - What about him?
Y - Don't worry he's fine, we'll just get him some water.
We got up and got him some water and told him how things would work. That he overreacted and he was in the wrong, which he was. He drove us back home and somewhat silence. My phone continued to ring and buzz from Jacob's calls and texts. Eventually I got tired of it and just cut the ringer off. Odell looked at me and rubbed my inner thigh.
O - Thank you baby
Y - For?
O - Stopping me, I don't think I would've if you weren't there.
Y - It's ok baby, shh. Do you want to tell me what's with all this rage and drinking?
O - Umm maybe later.
Y - Are you serious? Ok fine, it's whatever
O - Please don't be like that, I'm just trying to protect you.
Y - Odell, please tell me how you are protecting me from something or someone I don't know about.
O - He knows about you. Please just drop it. *raises voice*
Y - You said He!! Who's "he"!! Odell please. I can't keep doing this. I love you but you have to let me in.
O - I know, I will soon. Just not right now, there's a lot of things that could hurt either one of us. * calms down*
Y - Odell, talk to me now!! If it's putting you in danger, it's serious, so start talking. *raises voice*
O - IT'S MARCUS, Ok!! *yelling*
------------------------------------------------------ Uh oh!! Marcus is back?!? Wonder what he wants? Now is this Jacob boy getting out of hand? Does Odell need to take care of him, you guys? I think so🤔
