It wasn't just his eyes that were piercing, but some other people's too.

I began feeling a tad bit uncomfortable, but Grayson held my hand and gave me one of his reassuring smiles.

The kind of smile that told you "It's okay. I'm here. Just ignore them."

So I nodded, and returned the smile.

We walked among the crowd and found our way to our seats.

Jannie and his partner were sitting down with us too.

We talked about how fast the semester had gone and how excited they were for what was about to come for them.

We ate, had some drinks and danced.

There was one thing and one thing only that bothered me. And that was, those intense, piercing pair of eyes that glared at us.

As if a feeling of hatred was being shot at Grayson and I.

I ignored it, because I knew this was special for Grayson. And I didn't want to ruin that.

We sat back down, laughing our asses off, but on my way to my seat, I accidentally bumped into a girl, causing the drink in her hand to fall all over her chest, staining the dress.

She gasped and glared at me. Her hands up as she looked down at her chest.

Our smiles faded.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" She screamed.

Luckily everyone kept minding their own business. For that instance.

"I'm so so sorry" I apologized, grabbing a napkin trying my hardest to remove the stain.

"Dude are you serious? Tell your stupid slut to be more careful next time!" The girl's partner yelled at Grayson, making everyone turn to watch us.

The guy seemed familiar. And as soon as my eyes landed on his full profile, I inmediately recognized him.

It was Calleb. Ethan's ex-bestfriend, and Grayson's ex-bully.

Here we go. I thought to myself, sensing the drama getting closer.

"Watch your fucking mouth, you bastard" Grayson spat, pushing Calleb with such strength, causing him to fall to the ground.

Calleb stood up flaring his nostrils and pushed Grayson back, but only causing him to stumble back.

They both exploded with anger and began fighting. Punching, hitting, kicking..

Then the music stopped and everyone began screaming in fear.

Calleb's partner and I kept telling then and screaming for them to stop. But it was no use.

It was all a blur.

Momentarily, some guys separated them both.

"Don't you fucking dare call my girlfriend that, ever again" Grayson spat with venom while he tried breaking free from the guys who held him back.

Calleb remained quiet and shook off the hands that held him back as he walked away with a black eye.

"Okay everyone, it's over, back to the party" Jannie's partner, Karlos, yelled. The crowd dispersed, but still talked about the fight.

Grayson walked over to me and cupped my face.

"Are you okay?" He asked. His face full of concern.

"Bitch, I should be the one asking you that" I spat, checking on his face, looking for any bruises or cuts.

My thumb ran over his cheek as he flinched and looked away.

"Ow" He groaned in pain.

"What? What is it?" I asked, turning his head with my hand to look at his cheek more carefully.

"Nothing. I'm fine." He said, but groaned in pain once my thumb touched his cheek again.

"Shut the fuck up, you are not fine Grayson" I frowned. "C'mon lets go sit down" I said, taking his arm and wrapping it around my shoulder.

We sat down and I took a napkin, gently wiping the blood off the corner of his lips.

He flinched and furrowed his eyebrows.

"There" I flashed him a small smile. "Better?"

He nodded.

"You shouldn't have fought him, Grayson" I sighed, dropping my hands to my thighs.

"And he shouldn't have called you that" He scoffed.

I shook my head at him and chuckled. "You're definitely more stubborn than I am"

A smile spread on his lips as he chuckled. The frown on his face vanishing.

"You still love me, though" He took my hand and kissed my knuckles.

I giggled and blushed simultanously. "Indeed, I do love you, Bailey"

He raised an eyebrow at the nickname and chuckled, making me laugh.

I thought the night couldn't get any worse, until I received a text message.

"11:15pm. My bedroom. I'll meet you there"
