Under the Influence

Ignore me

Shawnie's POV

Chris was standing in front of me, and before I could reach out and touch him, he was already in mid-swing. Chris hit Aubrey right in his mouth.

I grabbed Chris's shirt, but was pushed onto the floor when Aubrey hit Chris, and he was pushed back into me. They started going at it, and everyone else, Chris's friends and Drake's friends, started fighting as well. Both of their security teams were trying to break up the fight. Glass was breaking, drinks were flying, people were screaming, tables were being moved and turned over. At one point, someone threw a table. People were running, trying to get out of the way or out of the building. It was complete chaos, and I was in the middle of it.

I stood up on the sofa to try to get away from them, then I felt someone grab my waist and pull me over the sofa. They put me back on my feet, and I see it was Chris' security, Ryan.

"Stay over here," Ryan says, then he leaves.

It was a mess, and it was all my fault. I did this. I begin to feel tears building up in my eyes. The lights turned on, and the music stopped. About another minute goes by, and the fight was broken up. I could hear Chris yelling over everyone, then I saw him. His shirt had blood on it and was ripped to the point where I could see his chest, and he was bleeding from his face. His two security guys were carrying him away. He was still trying to get to Aubrey to fight again, but Aubrey's security had him, and he was standing there calmly, while wiping his face. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose.

I had to check on Chris. He gets so mad sometimes, and tonight was clearly one of those nights. He let Aubrey get under his skin. Exactly what he was trying to do. I keep telling Chris to keep his cool, but tonight he couldn't. I wish I had been able to calm him down before this resulted in what it is now. There's definitely no going back now; they've crossed a line, and there's no return. Things are only going to get worse from here.

I start walking in the direction I saw his people take Chris in, and I see police walking in. I know it's about to be some bullshit now; they love to fuck with Chris. Most of the people were gone by now, but of course, the employees were still there. I walk down that long hallway past the bathrooms, and hear Chris yelling and a lot of noise. He was in the manager's office. He sounded so pissed off, and I honestly was scared to go into the room with him. I don't like seeing him like this; it scares me, but he has to get out of here to avoid being arrested.

A few of his friends were standing outside the door, along with Kevin.

"The police just came in," I say to Kevin.

"They're not letting him leave." He says

"Who?"

"Club managers."

I roll my eyes, "That's why he's back here?"

"Yeah."

"Okay." I go to open the door, and I hear someone talking behind me.

"Is he in there?"

I turn around and see an officer standing there with his hand on his gun.

I take my hand off the door, "I don't know."

"Did you arrest the other person involved?" I ask

"Yes, they're in custody." He says, then I see two more officers walking up behind him.

"Please, just let me talk to him and calm him down, please. You see, he can't go anywhere."

"And who are you?"
