Make Me Stay

5| PROXIMITY

He was pulled out by Spencer who just made an appearance and another guy I didn't recognise. Another one came towards us. His light brown hair was all I could see while he fought to reach us. He immediately hugged Lynn and pulled her into a kiss. This was so uncomfortable. I've never thirdwheeled before and let me tell you, I'm going to make a schedule for the rest of my life to avoid another situation like this one.

When they finally separated I was so relieved I could even start dancing if I had enough space.

"Hi I think we haven't met before, you must be the famous Quinn my girl hasn't stopped talking about, I'm Stephan." He extended his hand and I shook it. Did he just said 'my girl'?

I threw my friend an accusatory stare and she smiled apologetically. Yes, you just wait until all of this is finished and I drag you to my bedroom and I force you to speak. Then I remembered where we where.

"Umm... is he alright?" I still didn't know what to call him.

"He'll be alright." He set his eyes on the black haired girl next to me. "Love, it's break time, you know why I've come." The brown eyed said.

Lynn nodded and for the first time since Stephan arrived she talked. "Yes, but I'm here with Quinn, it isn't exactly the best idea to-"

"Believe me it is." Stephan cut her and winked. They exchanged secretive stares and I just stood there trying to decipher this couple code they had.

We made a human chain and I was told to never let go of their hands. I followed them to a black door on the west side of the warehouse. When they knocked and someone opened the door, I wasn't ready for the sight that welcomed me.

We stepped inside the white painted half decent room and there was a drawer, some kind of nightstand and a stretcher pressed against the corner. I was perfectly okay with that, what took me aback was the sight of him twisting in pain. The door closed behind us.

"Fuck JC, stop moving I can't help you if you don't cooperate!" It was Spencer the one who was loosing his patience. The guy who opened the door bent to whisper something in his ear and I could see he had colored tattoos where his hair should be. He had to be same age as Spencer.

Spencer's head shot up and searched for someone among us. His head came to a halt when our eyes met. JC noticed something wasn't as usual and I heard him ask about it but he had his forearm above his eyes which made it impossible to see anything. Two seconds later he incorporated quickly when Spencer said:

"She's here, Quinn's here."

The room went silent and the tension was palpable in the air. He was rigid as the wall behind him, but he didn't raise his eyes, not yet. His stare was lost in the white wall in front of him and he was trying to control his breathing.

"What. Is. She. Doing. In. Here?" Did that question hurt my feelings? I don't really know.

"She was with Lynn." Replied Stephan.

"Oh, and you thought it was a great idea to just bring her here? To my room!" He kept his eyes fixed on the wall but now they were full of rage. Rage because of my presence.

"Dude calm down." Spencer tried to push him back down but he resisted and Spencer had to apply more strength.

"Don't tell me to calm down Spencer! Don't you dare tell me to calm down or I'll fucking-"

"What!" Said the unknown guy. "What are ya' gonna do huh?" He held his legs while Spencer pushed him by his shoulders.

"Oliver..." Stephan warned him, who was holding a yelling Lynn who was asking what the hell was wrong with him.
