Stay Strong (IM5/Dana Vaughns)

Chapter 14: Just One Drink

Lily's POV:

I walk inside to see a bunch of my old classmates, dancing and laughing like old times. I start getting tense, with Cole holding his arm around my waist.

"OMG! Lils is that you?" says the the most fake girl I ever met, my old frenemy Rebecca. I flash her back a fake smile, trying to make it look as genuine as possible.

"Hi Rebecca." I grit through my teeth. I see her eyeing Cole, twirling her hair and batting her eyelashes.

"And who is this hunk?" she then gasps. "Your Cole Pendery from IM5! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. You look different in person." She then bites her lip as I roll my eyes. Cole just stands there and smiles.

"Yeah, that's me." He extends his hand for her to and she takes it, blushing. I just groan and Rebecca rolls her eyes.

"Me and a couple of friends were going to go tomorrow. I hope to see you there." Rebecca bats her eyelashes.

"Yeah." he smirks. I was about to storm off towards City and asks her if she wants to leave but before I could, Cole grabbed my waist and pulled my close. "My girlfriend here will be styling for us." he continues kissing my forehead. I blush as Rebecca starts to have an angry look on her face.

"Whatever. But if bitchy blonde over her doesn't give it to you anymore, call me." Rebecca said handing him a piece of paper.

"No thank you. I really love her and I don't I will ever leave her." Cole says handing her back the piece of paper. I his cheek and wave at her 'goodbye' as she storms off.

"Thank you for doing that." I smiled at him.He grabs my hand and kisses it.

"Anything for you, Lils." I hit his shoulder.

"OW!" he whined.

"Just shut up and dance with me." I say grabbing his hand and dragging him to the dance floor.

Dana' POV:

We walked in to the huge auditorium filled with old classmates of Lily and City's. We walk over to the registration table and grab te ID's.

I look over at City and she is playing with her wrin, wiggling it up and down her finger. "Are you okay?" I ask her, knowing I have to tell Gabe about it later.

"Yeah I'm fine." she said, giving me a sad smile before walking over to Lily and Cole.

City's POV:

Lily, Cole, Dana and I spent about an hour just dancing, talking, eating and fooling around. Eventually, I had the sudden urge to pee.

"Hey I'm going to go to the bathroom." I told Lily. She nodded and continued dancing with Cole. I walked over to the bathroom and was about to go in when I was pinned up against the wall.

"Hey fatass." slurred Max, with the stink of alchol on his breath.

"Get off me." I cried, struggling to get out of his tight grip. He went in and started to kiss me neck. I continued to squirm.

"Don't try getting out of this, fatass. Your just making it harder on yourself." Annoyed by his response, kneed him in the balls and tried to run away, but he quickly recovered and pinned me up against the wall again.

"Don't you ever fucking try that again, fatass! Or else I'll make your life a living hell just like I did 5 years ago." he growled. Someone then tapped Max's shoulder and he turned around. Next thing I knew, he was on the floor knocked out cooled.
