Time Of His Lives

4 [ B ]

An empty beer can struck him square on the side of his head and he turned to glare at Keisha . She flipped him the bird and the other girls joined in throwing stuff at him . He covered his head and ducked a glass thrown his way . The glass crashed behind him and he turned to stare at it . The crowd surging around them was egging on the girls to ' teach him a lesson ' . He backtracked and slipped on the wet tiles , falling on his back . The crowd winced in pain and someone had the nerve to laugh . " I can't believe you lied to me ! " Liz shrieked and he saw her fly towards him with a kick to the stomach . A groan escaped his lips and he sat up to get a slap to his face . The sheet covering him from waist-down was being tugged on by someone somewhere . He bared his teeth viciously at the girls and tugged back on the sheet , holding his clothes to his torso . " Defend yourself , man . " A watcher from the crowd yelled and people whooped in agreement .

He willed himself off the ground and let out a wince when Liz poured a jug of beer on him . Everyone went silent and waited for the great ' Alvin ' to react . They were not disappointed .

He flung a backhanded slap at Liz but his intoxicated self did not realize the power he'd put into the slap . A screaming Liz fell to the floor and knocked her face on the kitchen counter , breaking her nose on impact . A collective wince ran over the crowd and the mob of girls administering discipline to the violent cassanova . Even Isaac winced when his hand came into contact with Liz's face . Silence fell over the room again and the music from the sound system floated into the room , building suspense . Liz gave a muffled sob and looked up , her nose bloody . " What the fuck , Alvin ? " She screamed in a high pitch and Isaac found himself flinching . " I'm not Alvin . " He quietly murmured and tore off a piece of the sheet to hand it to her . " I called the cops . You're going to prison for a long time , retard . " One of his conquests snapped at him and rushed to Liz . Jace pushed himself through the crowd and rushed to the scene . " Did I hear you say you called the cops ? " He glared at the girl .

Everyone seemed to register what this meant for them . " The cops are on their way ! " Someone yelled in the crowd and everybody scattered in a frenzy . Isaac worked on pulling his shirt over his head and the mob of girls decided it was the perfect time to continue their assault . The one who called the cops yanked and tore his shirt and the others followed suit , scratching and kicking and some even spitting . It was chaos .

To think that all this started when he was caught by Liz in bed with one of them .

To be fair , he probably should not have lied that he had split up with Liz . This was a dangerous game he was playing . His days as a player were over . " I'm not Alvin . " He repeated over and over , hoping they'd stop . Then it occurred to him that he had to slap some more faces to get himself out of this . The sheet was torn off his waist and his hands instinctively went to cover his crotch , not out of embarrassment but for safety reasons . These girls were animals . Sirens pierced the air as he flung his arm at the closest girl who happened to be the cop-caller . At this point , he did not think it was right to say all hell broke loose , that ship had sailed and sunk a long time ago .

The girls shrieked and backed away when he swung at them . Everyone else had split and the overly drunken few were working on trying to find the door . Even some of the girls had vanished to escape . Liz leaned on the counter and touched her nose then winced in pain , shooting a withering glare at him . The girls gave up on trying to hit Isaac and retreated to the back door to escape the police . Isaac grabbed his boxers and quickly wore them then reached out to pick his jeans only for a pair of boots to stomp on them . His eyes met with those of an angry officer and he smiled pathetically , letting out a nervous chuckle . " Good evening , officer . " He retracted his hand and got to his feet . " You must be Alvin Hoff . You are under arrest for assault and , just 'cause I don't like guys who hit girls , for underage drinking . You have the right to remain silent , punk . " The male officer glared at him and slapped some cuffs on Isaac's wrists .

A female officer helped Liz out of the house and he swore he heard her lie that he attacked her because she wouldn't do what he said . " This is all a misunderstanding , I'm not Alvin , I'm Isaac . I'm not even supposed to be here , I should be in Dayville right now . " Isaac babbled and tried to free himself from the officer's hold . " Substance abuse too ? You're really not a good guy . " The officer laughed and tightened his grip on the handcuffs . Isaac let out an exasperated groan and looked around frantically . The red sportscar shone in the moonlight and he tugged towards it . " Stop resisting arrest or I'll have to tase you . " The officer growled and Isaac struggled with renewed vigor . Inevitably , he managed to free himself and made a beeline for the car . " Freeze ! " The cop warned and took out his taser , aiming it at Isaac . Isaac got to the car , thanking God that his hands were handcuffed in front , and struggled to open the car .

As the car opened , the cop tased him and he fell to his knees in agony . The officers stared in awe as he crawled into the car , not expecting him to escape . The door shut as Isaac got in and when the male officer went to open the door , Isaac was gone .
