"He's got friends but they got the fear, wouldn't care too much if he just disappeared."

"Let's? As in.. you and me? Both? Meeting him?" I question, nervously.
"Well yeah. If you think I'm gonna drop you off to meet some random guy no one knows after someone just tried to kill you with a rock, you've got me fucked up." He says unbuckling his seatbelt. I gulp before doing the same and getting out of the car. All I can hope for is that if any of my coworkers see me, they act like I don't exist.
I trail behind Peter as we walk through the entrance of the club. I scan the room before my eyes land on a special pair of green ones, that were already staring. I wave my fingers a little and Peter notices. His eyes follow mine to where Harry was sitting. I could tell they noticed each other's presence.
"Well hello my darling Ruby." I heard his deep voice as we made our way towards him. "It's so nice of you to finally join me. And you brought company." He speaks lifting his eyes towards Peter.
"Hi Harry," I smile shyly. "This is my brother Peter, Peter this is Harry." I do an awkward introduction.
"Hello." He twinkles his fingers a little and flashes a smile. Peter only stood still, nodding slightly as a way to say hello.
I watch as Harry grabs a drink from the table. It sat beside the glass he was drinking from when we first started walking over. He smiled at me widely as he began to hand me the drink. I smiled back in return and reached my hand out to grab it, only to have Peter swat my hand away.
"No." He commands. I tilt my head to the side and gave him a look that said please let me live a little. He only squinted his eyes at me and continued to hold his ground. I give him a slow nod before turning back to Harry.
"Maybe I'll just have a water?" I ask and he gives a small smile.
"I'll be over there. Watching." Peter whispered in my ear before heading towards the wall and standing against it. I roll my eyes at his introverted manners.
"He seems lovely." Harry laughs quietly, looking at me as I sit down next to him at the bar.
"He really is actually, he pulled quite a few strings to let me come out and see you tonight. I'm not sure why he wanted to come in though if he's just gonna hide in the corner." I speak loudly as I get to the last part, knowing Peter is listening. I glance over to him and watch him roll his eyes at us.
"Awh babe, did you get in trouble with dad? Not allowed to come see me?" He pouted, and then smiled while he brought his drink up to his lips.
"Yeah, something like that." I laughed and pushed some of my hair back behind my ear.
"Oh my god, Ruby." Hs speaks suddenly and seriously.
"What?" I ask looking around the room.
"What the fuck happened to you?" He asks looking at me. I couldn't tell what he was feeling, he looked mixture of confused and angry.
"What do you mean?" I ask confused.
"Your head." He speaks pointing up at my hairline, a spot that my hair was previously covering. "What happened Ruby?" He commands again.
