Slip Up [Dylan O'Brien]

Chapter 6

       I took a deep breath and looked in the mirror again. This was the first time in a long time that I was leaving my mom to go do actual adult things.

   "Go. You shouldn't be letting her stress you out so much like this. Have some fun sweety." Claire, my mother's sister, smiled.

   "Are you sure aunt Claire?" I asked. She only smiled wider.

   "Yes I'm sure. Go." Claire shooed her out of her room and down the stairs where Natalie was waiting for her.

   "Hot damn, you're going to knock them out!" Natalie grinned.

   "I don't need to knock anyone out. I have Dylan." I sighed.

   "Yes but you also need to live a little bit. Lets have some fun, you don't have to mess with anyone. Lets just drink a bit, dance, then call a cab home and wake up with terrible hangovers." Natalie said.

  "That does sound really nice." I smiled.

   "Great, we're going!" Natalie grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door. We got in the car and she drove us out to whatever stupid club she decided was good for our night out.

       Before we got out of the car she handed me lipstick and some mascara.

   "I did my make up before we left the house." I said in confusion.

   "Yes, but this is a black light party." My eyes widened.

   "Isn't that a little dangerous with it being so dark in there?" I asked as I put on the luminescent pink lipstick. The mascara had the same neon like quality but it was bright blue.

   "Aren't all clubs dangerous though?" I asked.

   "You aren't wrong." I sighed.

   "Cheer up. We can finally hang out and have fun tonight." I smiled at her even though I didn't feel like going in there.

       We headed over to the long line and waited around 20 minutes before getting to the front of the line. The Bouncer was huge and looked like he was a former Marine.

   "ID?" He asked. We both held up out driver licenses. He nodded for us to go in.

   "Okay, since you can't legally drink yet, I'll buy it for you. Be right back." Natalie smiled and disappeared into the large crowd. My eyes widened. I didn't want to be left alone in this mess.

   "You look a little lost." I whipped around and saw a tall man with dark hair.

   "No, I was looking for my sister." I replied.

   "Maybe I can help you find her." He smirked. I rolled my eyes.

   "I can find her just fine on my own thanks." I went to turn around but he grabbed my wrist tightly. My eyes narrowed. "Let go of me." I said sharply.

   "Listen here shorty. I always get what I want, and what I want is you." He sneered.

   "I don't think so bud. Let go." I snapped as I tried to pulled away. He only pulled me closer. I was going to scream when a voice quipped up behind me.

   "I believe she said let go." The voice was familiar. But I didn't get a chance to see who it was. All of a sudden I was let go of and the man who was behind me was punching the asshole who had grabbed me in the face.
