Us and Them (Sequel: Bruno Mars Fan Fic)

Chapter 23

The night was going even better than I hoped it would. The DJ was spinning the sickest hits and the liquor was flowing perfectly. I look back as I felt Eric tap on my shoulder as he tries to speak over the speakers. I try to listen but it's almost impossible and I can't be distracted right now. "HOLD UP MAN!" I raise a finger to look at the music selections again till I felt him tap on my shoulder harder. "What!" I asked again irritated before I followed his serious gaze towards Brooklyn laughing with three total strangers while laughing. I looked at Eric again and shrugged. He gestured his thumb across his nose and I immediately felt my body fall deep into fear. I looked over at the DJ and told him I was out.

The JD made a last announcement, "Give it up for Bruno Mars yall!" Everyone cheered as I raised my glass as I forced the biggest smile I could.

As I walked off the stage my face fell hard as I swallowed the rest of my drink in one gulp before heading straight towards Brooklyn. I was shaking, getting hotter by the second, scared, I was livid, but I can't show her how angry I was. "What's going on baby?" I say behind her as I look at everyone's gaze move to me.

"Yo it's Bruno Mars himself!" Some dude dresses as the joker announce as he extends his hand out towards me.

I look at it for a second before shaking his hand as I try to smile. "Sup man."

"Big fan dude! You're a musical genius!" He says with a huge smile as I look into his eyes and seen more pupil than iris.

I look down at Brooklyn as she sips the rest of her drink as I try to smile, "Hey babe, I wanted you to meet someone very important." I lie.

She turns to look at me, "You want to introduce me to someone?" She slurs.

"You're dating Bruno Mars?" A woman dressed as Harley Quinn asked. "That's fuckin awesome. I'm jealous." She eyes me up and down like she wanted to eat me up.

I shook my head as I reach for Brooklyn's hand, "C'mon babe." I try to he as nice as I can, "He has to leave soon and I wanted him to meet you and there's something else special I wanted to show you."

She tries to stand, but she struggles and it outrages me. I stand next to her as she lightly pushes me back, "I got this, man!"

"Yeah, she got it dude." The joker smiles.

"Hey, how bout you mind your own business." I snap.

"Hey - Bruno! Bee ni-ce, these are myyy friends!" Brooklyn struggles to say as I can feel my heart aching.

I shook my head as I try to avoid these people, "Can we go now, please?"

"Will we be back?" She looked at me as I stare into her enhanced pupils and my heart is breaking into pieces at how high she is.

"Yeah dude, we got this other party, y'all are more welcome to join."

I clenched my teeth as I mentally repeated to myself, "Just agree so you two can leave, just agree so you two can clean, just agree-" I nod my head, "Sounds good to me." I looked at Brooklyn one more time, this time with pleading eyes, "Can we see my friend now, before he leaves?"

She gave me a soft smile, "Sure thing baby."

I took a breath of relief as I escorted her away from the crowd, tightening my grip and walked faster as I signaled for Dre to come and guard us from everyone. Eric followed behind as the rest of the guys did. We finally got out of the club as I turned to Dre, "Watch her for me for a second. Get her in the car and don't let her out."
