I Want You

"My belt."

I arrived at the party, a bit scared and anxious...

What if Bex doesn't show and I am left alone to deal with Becca on my own?

Just as that terrifying thought crossed my mind a car pulls up next to me and Bex jumps out, waving 'goodbye' to whoever- Karson...They rode with Karson.

I laugh and Bex sighs and runs their hand through their hair.

"I'm so so sorry that I am a bit late. My car broke down a-an-and I looked and noticed I also had a fucking FLAT TIRE!" They suddenly get frustrated as they flex their arms behind their head and look up and pace a bit. They groan, obviously aggravated.

"Hey, hey, calm down...A'ight? You're here now and I'm with you. We're here together...Let's make the most of the night, Love." I whisper softly as I take their hand in mine.

"Ah- but I-"

"Shhh, don't even." I interrupted.

"Fine." They surrender.

"Good...Now let's go." We make our way through the door and by the time I got there I could feel my head spinning and my heart pounding. I take a deep breath and continue walking as my anxiety gets the best of me.

"It's just for a while. Breathe." I whisper to myself.

"What?" Bex looks at me confused and I shake my head.

"It's nothing." I respond a bit too quickly.

"Nah nah nah, that's not fair. What'd you say?" Bex blocks the doorway so I can't walk forward and I sigh and look away.

Multiple people are scattered outside talking, kissing- is that Blake and Carmen fucking? Ew!

I look away quickly and back to Bex.

"It was nothing. Just mumbling something."

"Baby, you have to tell me what it was, otherwise, I can not help you." They begin to give me puppy eyes and I smile a bit as I look down.

"Please tell me..."

I shake my head.

"Please?" I hear a small whimper and I look up to see Bex standing there, eyes wide, and their lip jutted out.

"I had just said "It's just for a while. Breathe" nothing too serious." I finally admit.

"Baby, if you don't want to be here we can find something else to do. I don't mind, honestly. I just want you to be safe and comfortable." They say as they move away from the doorway so someone could walk out. More like stumble out. He is completely wasted. Poor guy, he's gonna have a huge hangover.

"I know- I mean, yes- I-I mean, I'm fine. I'm good being here." Honestly...My nerves are shot but am I going to tell them and ruin their night? Absolutely not.

"Baby, you don't seem fine." They started to get a bit bratty with me so I look up quickly and glare.

Bex threw their hands up in surrender and nodded.

"Fine, I'll accept it but do you promise on my life, may I be struck dead right now...That if you start to feel uncomfortable or something happens, you'll come to me so we can leave?" They raise an eyebrow as they tug on the collar of their leather jacket.

"Yes, I promise." Normally, I wouldn't accept a promise like that or swear on anyone's life but...I'm going to keep that promise.

"And you do realize that this promise applies to everywhere we go, right?" Bex questions seriously as we finally walk through the door.
