# chapter twenty-one

"So, where are the others?" Alex asked as we got out of the über taxi.

"I told them to save us a seat inside. Let's go," We pushed the door opened and immediately I spotted Narelle's blue hair under the dim lights.

"Hey, Relle!" I tapped her shoulders.

"Jack! What's up?" She giggled, drunk.

Wow! They got drunk fast. I hope I could find Victoria before something bad happens to her.

"Where are the others?" I asked as we sat down.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I looked around this loud and obnoxious place.

"I don't know? Dancing?" She sat up and gulped down a glass of colourless liquid.

"I'm going to find Victoria!" I shouted to Alex and left my seat.

I squeezed past everybody on the dance floor. Everyone has their own dance partner and they were pressing their bodies together, sweating and making out.

I walked and eventually got to the other side of the dance floor. Being in the dimmed place made me almost banging onto the wall.

"Victoria?!" I shouted over the music.

There was another exit at the back. I wandered out the door and felt a breezed once I'm outside. I looked around and saw a couple making out. I turned to look away.

"Ugh! Stop! Get off! You're not Jack," I heard Victoria's familiar voice.

I looked around again and I saw the 'couple' just now, turns out to be Victoria and a random guy. She kept trying to push him away but he had her hands pressed against the wall.

"Hey!" I shouted.

They didn't stop and Victoria's groans turned into pleas. I approached them and pushed the guy away from my Victoria. She fell but I caught her in my arms.

The sleeves of her black dress were torn. I quickly took out my jacket and put it around her body. She shook in fear.

"Victoria? It's me, Jack," I cupped her face in my hand.

Her lazy eyes fluttered opened. "Jack?"

"Yeah, baby. It's me," She hugged me really tight and tears started pouring down her beautiful face.

"Shhh," I stroked her soft silk-like hair.

"What the fuck, dude? I saw her first!" The guy I shoved to the ground got up drunkenly.

"Fuck off," I spat and hide Victoria behind me.

He brought his fists in front of his face, ready to fight. He wiped his face and threw the first punch. It landed on my jaw and I fell. Victoria screamed.

I touch my now-sore jaw and looked up to see Victoria being dragged away, painfully by her arms.

"Jack!" She struggled.

"Victoria!" I got up to my feet and shoved the guy hard.

I threw punches on his body and face. He fought back fiercely and I was hit too.

"Jack! Stop! Jack!" I heard Victoria's screaming but I kept throwing punches.

He dodges and kept moving back. Eventually, we were on the side of the street. The bald guy by the night club came over and tried to break us apart but I was just so pissed off with this guy for touching Victoria.

"Stop-" I pushed someone and there were tires screeching, car horn honking and a loud crash.
