Hi [#Wattys2016]

Everyone At Jo's (Part Two)

At that moment, massive amounts of adrenaline and anger rushed through me. I knew he came to ruin any chance I had with Alexa. I had to bite down my tongue to prevent myself from getting up and strangling him.

"Well hello Alexa, out with your new boyfriend are you?" he said, as he put his very defined jaw in his potato-sized hands and wore his usual smug smirk.

Alexa casted a worried look my way before answering. "Yeah, why do you ask?" I felt a tug in my chest at the fact that she just said yes, I was her boyfriend.

"Well I was wondering why you're on a date with that when you could have me?" his smirk grew even larger my my knuckles went white and my blood boiled. I could tell everyone else was watching what was going on.

Alexa scoffed. "And you are?"

A look of shock spread across his face and left as quickly as it had come, but his smirk wasn't quite the same.

"You don't know who I am?" he asked, rather haughtily.

"No," she said, very serious.

His smirk left altogether and he quivered his jaws. "Well if you like Dixon you must be a dumb bitch," he stated and then got up and began to walk away.

"What did you just call her?!" I heard myself growl and I was vaguely aware that I was on my feet, I felt the tension like jelly around my limbs. I could feel myself losing control but I couldn't stop myself, and to be honest, I didn't want to.

Pierce turned around to face me. And everyone seemed to now be on their feet, and I was somehow outside the booth.

"You sure you want to do this Dixie?" he asked, his smirk back on. "Wouldn't want your bitch to see your dark side, would- ?"

And before he could finish, my fist had connected with his face and the look on it was priceless. He recoiled to attack me but Jack pushed him away and was saying something I couldn't decipher; my ears were ringing. I could feel hands on me, holding me back and I could feel myself resisting as waved of anger washed over me.

Then Alexa stepped in front of me and everything came into focus. Her eyes were heartbreaking and I was sure I saw a sliver of tears in them.

"Alexa, you better hope he doesn't go ballistic and hit you too!" Pierce shouted as he walked away, laughing to himself.

I sighed and stepped struggling. That was his plan, he had won, again.

Jasmine handed me an ice pack and I looked down at my hand and it was very red, the pain started to register.

"Dixon?"Alexa asked, trying to meet my eyes.

"Yeah?" I couldn't meet her eyes after that.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she put her hand on my face, my body electrified.

"I'm fine," I couldn't look at her, I wouldn't.

As hard as it was, I placed my hand on hers and removed it from my face, I didn't look to see her reaction, but I hated myself for whatever it was.

I then went back and sat and stared blankly into space, brooding over losing her before I even got her, and how much I hated Pierce, and myself for falling into his trap.

I was only barely aware of her asking the others questions, but they seemed to not have given her answers. I vaguely noticed Jack and Amanda leaving and telling me goodbye.

I didn't really notice Katie and Jasmine trying to speak to me or when exactly they left with Alexa's other friend, but I noticed Alexa was still there, now staring at me, seemingly annoyed, it was hard to tell without looking at her.
