Chapter 2: Dance Lessons
Pidge's POV
I carefully took his hand,though didn't stand up. I used my free hand and rubbed the back of my neck "I've never actually danced before. I don't really know how."
"Come on,I'll help you. Just one dance" Shiro looked me in the eyes,giving a warm smile. I felt all my anger,annoyance,and boredom slip away as I smiled a bit. I stood up,brushing off my dress a bit "alright,alright. I'll try."
He led me out onto the floor where there wasn't a large crowd,and my eyes scanned the area. Once we stopped walking,he turned to me,having to look down slightly. I smiled as he placed one hand on my waist,and took my other hand in his own. This caused me to blush,but luckily it was hidden in the different colored lights.
"Just do what I do" Shiro whispered with a warm smile,and he slowly started to sway from side to side. I nodded my head a bit and started to sway with him. I lightly laughed,not even realizing my feet had started to move as well.
"You're like a natural" Shiro told me as we moved with each other. I shuffled a bit closer to him,placing my free hand against his chest. I looked up to him,and my eyes met his "it's easy once you get the hang to it" I admitted.
"Mhh" was his only response as we moved. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes,and I relaxed a bit. I didn't even realize I was tense.
And all too quickly,the song had been over. I opened my eyes and looked up to Shiro,and he looked back at me. I stepped back away from him,clasped my hands together,and quickly said
"t-thank you for the dance,Shiro." Before turning away.
Before he could say anything,I speed-walked through a large crowd and towards the doors. Man,time had gone fast. It was already dark outside.
I pushed open the door and walked outside,taking in the fresh air with a relieved sigh. I walked far away enough so that I could barely hear the music,and I leaned against the side of the building.
But that was ruined quick enough.
Some random dude,either drunk or just desperate,was now standing in front of me. His hands were pressed against the wall beside me,so I couldn't leave if I wanted to. I glared up at him,but he wouldn't move.
"What do you want?" I snapped,a slight growl in my voice. The guy gave no response and didn't leave,but he moved one hand to my hair. I smacked his hand away "get away from me,you creep!"
Shiro's POV
"Katie,wait!" I called as I watched Katie leave,and I sighed to myself. I gained a slightly sad look before I felt a hand against my back. Turning my head,I looked down at Matt,and he looked up at me.
"My sister is just being difficult. She didn't want to come here,though I told her she needed to get out of the house. I'm sorry for her behavior" he told me. I just shook my head a bit and smiled "it's alright,I just don't understand why she ran off like that."
I started walking,and he followed alongside me "maybe I can talk to her" I told Matt as I pushed open the door,stepping outside. I looked around,and I heard the familiar voice of the girl. She sounded angry,so I picked up my pace. I started to jog,Matt staying at my side,just in case. I slowed to a stop when I spotted her.
I narrowed my eyes as I looked towards the guy. Angered,I started towards them,but Matt stepped in front of me,causing me to stop "Shiro,wait. You can't fight that guy. Remember your arm?"
"I'll be fine,Matt" I muttered as I stepped around him. In only a couple of seconds,I had the guy by the arm,and I was pulling him away. He turned and pushed me,and I slightly stumbled. I growled as I shoved the dude to the ground. He grabbed my leg and pulled me down,causing me to land on my side. I winced as I felt the pain in my right arm come back.
I shook it off though,trying to ignore it,and I punched the guy. He kicked at me,so I kept him pinned to the ground,holding my hand to his neck. He coughed and tried moving my hand,but I wouldn't let go.
I shoved my knee against his chest,and he almost immediately blacked out. I could have done worse to him,but I didn't want to kill the guy. I removed my hand from his throat,and his skin was all red,a handprint marking the skin. Blood ran from his lip,but I just ignored it.
I stood up,and was immediately tackled in a hug by Katie. She pulled back and gained a worried expression,looking me in the eyes. I winced and fell to my knees,pain throbbing in my arm. I grabbed hold of it and I lowered my head "Gah!" I grumbled as my vision went blurry.
Katie knelt down next to me,as well as Matt. I could barely make out what they said before I slipped out of consciousness.
"Shiro!"
"You're going to be alright,Shiro..."
~Hello again! Yes,another chapter out. I know this isn't a great chapter,but I actually like what I did. I already have plans for the future chapters,and I plan to release at least two more before I go back to school on Tuesday. Can you please tell me how you felt about the chapter? I'm still a bit new to the whole Wattpad thing,heh. I hope you enjoyed though!~
