Crazy Love

Chapter 18

JOSH'S POV

When I arrived at the party it was complete chaos. People were stumbling everywhere, too drunk to even function. I don't know what people even found fun about these things anyways.

"Hey man!" Someone called from across the room.

"Oh hey, Daniel," I said cautiously, he looked like he was going to fall over at any second.

"There are so many babes here man, all drunk too! I already got lucky once if you know what I'm sayin'," he said elbowing me in the ribs.

"I think you need to go sit down," I casually remarked. I knew exactly how to deal with intoxicated people.

"Nah man I'm good," he said pausing for a few seconds "hey do you know that Melissa girl?"

I was startled that she had come into this conversation.

"Yeah?" I explored.

"I think she is going to lose her v-card," he leaned in really close to whisper, then pulled away with a drunk laugh.

"What makes you think that?" I pushed, I needed to know what he was talking about and if she was in trouble.

"I don't know man, that Brady guy was like bragging after the game saying that he was going to get the famous Melissa Heft to sleep with him at the party tonight," he stated.

Wow, I was surprised that he could actually say that many words, let alone think of them.

"Really? Do you know where I can find them?" I was starting to get a nasty feeling in my stomach.

"HAHA I GET YOU MAN, THREE-SOME!" He yelled louder than I wanted him to. People turned to stare but lost interest quickly.

"Please Daniel it's an emergency," I said urgently.

"Sure man, they went upstairs like 5 minutes ago, but hey I need to tell you something" he whispered beckoning me in.

"What?" I said leaning in closer.

"That guy is bad news, I read about him, but I don't remember where. It wasn't good though." He said nodding his head solemnly.

My eyes widened in shock, I had to hurry.

I sprinted up the stairs and began searching, there were noises everywhere. Not very pleasant noises either...

After walking in on about seven couples I came to a room at the very end of the hallway.

I could hear Mel's voice.

"Brady, No!" I heard her muffled yell.

That's it.

I burst through the door to see Melissa trying to push Brady away with one hand, and cover her chest with the other.

They both looked up at me in surprise, as soon as it registered in Mel's mind that it was me, she rolled off the bed.

I walked up to the bed and pulled a shirtless Brady off of the bed.

He put up both of his hands and started blubbering about how he wasn't going to do anything. I punched him in the face twice then dropped him on the floor, I then kicked him and ran over to the side of the bed where Mel had disappeared.

By then she already had her clothes and a pitiful look on. I scooped her up and carried her out of the house, not stopping to look back.

The drive back was quiet and uncomfortable.

I should've been there earlier, I could have stopped him from hurting her.

I looked over at her, she looked so lost and scared. I could tell she was trying to be brave. That was the thing about Melissa, she was one of the most stubborn people
