|Falling for Octavia|

11 | Take Away My Pain And Scars

I danced in the middle of the room, my hips slowly grinding into the person behind me. I wasn't trying to be sexual, just dancing to Swimming Pools by Kendrick Lamar.

Eve had left ten minutes or so ago, she went with Michael of course so I knew she'd be safe home. Also because I know Michael does drink because he's Muslim and a strong believer at that so for him it is haram.

"Hey, wanna do body shots?" The blondie guy whispered behind me and I nodded eagerly. Hey, if I'm going to get wasted to forget all my problems why not do it with a good looking stranger? I turn around to see that the is cute, with blonde scruffy hair and bright green eyes. A few inches taller than my height but not by a lot.

The blondie pulls me over to a table and asks if I want to go first. I think about it for a second but end up just going for it. I mean what's that worse that could happen? I end up just asking him to go first.

Blondie pulls up his shirt and lays down on the table. I pour some into him and lick it off, feeling the saltiness of his body is slightly unappetising but drunk me doesn't care.

Now it's my turn, I lay down on the table and start to slide up my dress, my face slightly heats up with embarrassment as I do so because I realise I'll be on show to a few people. Oh well, wasted me doesn't care.

Just as blondie pours a shot into my stomach and I feel his tongue lick me slightly, he is pulled away and I groan. It was just getting interesting! I pull my dress back down and see Hunter angrily standing there what did he have to be my dad all night and protect me. I'm not twelve, although I may look close to a tween I am eighteen.

He pulls me up and grabs my hand, pulling me out of the door. I struggle to release my hand from his and I follow him out of the door. On my hand I feel slight tingles and it excites drunk me. I look up at his talk frame and realise just how pretty he is.

"Where are we going pretty boy?" I blurt out as he walks me towards his car.

"Your house. Where do you live?" He asks and I groan angrily.

"I can't go home. Ariyane will kill me number one and number two I got drunk to get away from my problems not back into them!" Hunter opens the passenger side of his car and rests me in before shutting the door.

Unhappily, I cross my arms over my chest and try to open the door but I'm to unbothered so I just cross my arms back. Hunter comes next to me and turns the ignition of the car back on before proceeding to tighten his seatbelt.

"Do your seatbelt Ava." He asks and starts to get out of his spot.

"Maybe I don't want to." I huff and look out to the window beside me angrily. I think I'm an angry drunk, let's be honest.

"If we crash you'll die." He remarks wickedly.

"Perhaps I want to." I mumble. Hopefully he didn't hear that. I didn't mean it entirely, only slightly.

Hunter grabs my face and turns it to me, looking into my eyes. "Well I don't want you to die."

I pull out from his grasp and look straight ahead, we carry on down the road for a while in complete silence not saying a word to each other until finally he parks the card.

Around me all I can see is green and trees. Not my house exactly, unless he thought I looked rough enough to sleep on a park bench. Hunter wraps his arm around my wrist and walks me up the hill.

"Are you kidnapping me?" I sigh and sit down on the bench whilst rubbing my head. "Because if you are.. I know karate and I won't go down without a fight."

Hunter just replies with a deep chuckle and pulls out his cigarettes from his coat pocket. I watch as he places the cigarette between his puffy lips and lights it. His brown hair blowing slightly in the wind. Words could not describe just how handsome this man in front of me was.

"Why were you acting so crazy? I had to rescue you twice and steal you from there before you ended up drugged." Hunter snaps and let's out a shakey breath.

"I never asked you to save me. You could've just left me," I shrug and fiddle with the end of my dress. I shiver slightly because it's cold but try to play it off cool.

Before I know it, Hunters coat is around my shoulders and he sits next to me, quite closely. Not that I mind. The fresh air and short walk made me feel less dizzy.

"That's the issue sweetheart, I can't. No matter how hard I tried to walk away after the fight with Tyler, I couldn't. To be honest, I am evil and mean around everyone. But to you it feels like I can't be, from the beginning I've treated you so unlike me. I just can't push you away."

I giggle slightly and tuck a piece of his hair behind his ear, happy drunk me is back. "That was a lot of words to come out of one month."

My fingers traced his lips and he shuts his eyes tightly, "You probably won't remember any of this."

My fingers leave his lips and drop to his hand where I caress his hand, my fingers run over a bump on his palm and I look down to a deep scar in the shape of a cut mark. It seems slightly old but not to old, still pink and gruesome looking.

"What happened to your hand?" I ask as my thumb skins over the mark shak and again.

"I don't want to feel your pretty head with scary stories." He mumbles and I look up at his phenomenal eyes. So eye catching and reverting.

My lips pucker out slightly and I kiss the scar carefully and then grin up at him happily. "There, all better." I whisper and his gaze refuses to leave mine.

I stand up and start prancing around in circles, trying not to trip over and barely succeeding. I happily run around and laugh, feeling the wind in my hair.

The jacket begins to slip off so I put my hands threw the arm holes and zip it up tightly. I hope I don't forget tonight, it's feels so nice. But how can I remind myself?

"Dance with me Hunter!" I laugh and spin around in circles.

"There's now music and you look like you're about to fall." I plonk myself back down next to him and just look up at the stars for a while.

How can the stars not compare to his eyes?

"You know my brother." I spit out slowly, I had wanted to ask him about it for a week now.

"Yes. But, ask me about that when you sober up. For now, let's just dance. Enjoy this time."

I nod and he picks me up and twirls me in the air, I screech and he sets me down and pinches my cheeks. This is too good to forget. Please don't let me.
