Alex's POV
Fuck, how long did it take someone to pee?
I leaned up against the bar, waiting impatiently for Indi to return. I think I was going to tell her to call it quits when she got back. Maybe even act drunk so that she thought she'd won.
But the girl needed to be cut off. She was an even bigger mess than usual.
"Want another?" the bartended asked me.
I shook my head. "No, thanks. Cheers."
I looked up at the clock on the wall. It'd been over ten minutes since she stumbled off. Long enough for her to pee.
Matt and Rose had left to take a walk or something, and Nick and the redhead I still hadn't learnt the name of were sitting close enough to snog. Jamie was still on the phone with his bird, leaning his elbows on the bar top.
Bored, I decided to go find Indi. She couldn't of gotten too far in the state she was in.
I finished the rest of my last beer and headed out into the small crowd.
People watched me intently as I went by, the kind of look that said "I know him from somewhere... but where?"
There were so many people it was hard to pick out anybody in the crowd-- though Indi might be easiest to spot with her hair and uncoordination. But I still couldn't see her.
Figuring she must still be in the toilets, I decided to wait outside them for her. I leaned up against the wall, watching the crowd to pass the time.
And that's when I saw her.
She was leaned down against a pool table-- all the way leaned down with her face against the green. A man stood up against her, one hand on the back of her neck and one snaking its way down her waist line.
So that's where she'd been this whole time. With some other bloke. I pushed off the wall to leave, trying to convince myself that I wasn't fazed by it, but then her eyes landed on mine.
They were wide and terrified, begging me to do so something.
And that's when I understood. She wasn't there by choice-- he was holding her there.
Something inside of me snapped. Everything that happened next was a blur.
