Road Trip

4-The Shower Incident

"I swear, I can't leave that girl alone for more than 2.5 seconds. She always gets in some sort of trouble, seriously she would be in jail without me." Jessica mumbled to herself angrily, screeching to a halt in front if the bar. She hopped out of the jeep and stomped towards the door and yanked it open. She scanned the scene, eyes immediately drawn to the large throng of people towards the bar area. She made a beeline towards the growing crowd, pushing and shoving her way through, until she was beside TJ.

"What the hell is going on?" What the hell happened to your hand?" Jessica yelled, over the jeering of the crowd.

"Long story short, some drunk biker guy was hitting on me, so Niall hit him. Repeatedly. Until he was unconscious. Oh look, I think he's finally waking up!" TJ said, pointed at the heap of person crumbled in the corner.

"Niall did that? Holy shit..." Jessica whistled to herself. "Where's Harry, is he alright?" Jessica asked, looking around for the the mop of curly hair in the crowd.

"Yeah, he's over there, punching the shit outta the dude." TJ laughed, absent mindedly rubbing her slightly swollen hand.

Jessica glanced down at TJ's knuckles. "What happened to you?" She asked.

"Oh, Harry needed help fending off two guys, so I grabbed one guy and punched his lights out. It was probably the coolest thing I've ever done." TJ said proudly. Jessica shook her head at TJ's obvious adrenaline rush from the fight.

"Come on, we need to help break this up before the cops are called." As Jessica and TJ were walking towards the two boys, they saw Niall break another beer bottle over a bikers head.

"Holy fuck. Niall sure likes a good bar fight." TJ said appreciatively.

"Yeah, a little too much if you ask me." Jessica replied. The two girls grabbed Harry away from the man crumpled on the floor, and managed to get him to help them drag Niall off two other bikers.

"That'll teach you to mess with someone who doesn't want your attention, ya shower o cunts!" He said, giving them a final kick in the side before Harry pulled him away.

"Come on mate, we need to leave before the coopers show up." Harry tugged Niall away, towards the beckoning girls.

"Seriously, we need to go before these boneheads wake up and come after us for revenge." TJ said, gesturing at the groaning men littering the floor. Just as they were walking towards the door, a drunken man staggered in front of Jessica, causing her to stumble back into Harry.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, hazel eyes peering into Jessica's brown eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She mumbled quickly stepping away from him.

"Hey there pretty thing, you're a little to tall for my taste, but I'd lovee to see what's under that here shirt." The drunk man smiled toothlessly at her, his dirty hand skimming the bottom of her shirt. He took a step closer to Jessica, his hot breath reeking of bourbon and whiskey. Making a face, Jessica stepped back. Harry immediately pushed her behind his tall frame, shielding her from the man's unwanted ogling and growled, "Get the fuck out of our way." The man gave Harry a once over and slowly backed away. "You can have her. She looks like a fucking giraffe anyways." He mumbled, taking a swig from his near empty bottle.

"Thank you." Jessica said quietly, gripping Harry's muscular forearm. He glance over his shoulder at her.

"Don't mention it." He grinned, dimples on prominent display. "But maybe you should consider wearing slightly more clothes next time?" He chuckled, gesturing at her lack of pants, only wearing an oversized shirt to cover her bikini clad body.
