Bad Boy Kisses (Raura Revised)

Chapter 12

My head was pounding and I couldn't focus on
anything anymore. Once those words came out of Louis' mouth, I felt like vomiting. Ross didn't have a problem with it because the smirk hasn't dropped from his face since he chugged back his drink toasting to our 'new relationship.' I was still standing in the middle of everyone clutching my drink so tight. I'm surprised I haven't put a crack in it yet.

I have to get out of here. The little space I had from all the people around was making it worse for me. I couldn't get the thoughts of Conner hurting me out of my head and what's worse is that he's only upstairs. I pull on Ross's arm and he turns to look at me.

"What?" He asks.

"I want to leave, please." I almost beg but hold myself back. I don't want to be weak but I know what's going to happen when Conner finds out and it terrifies me.

He shakes his head and slings his arm over my
shoulder. "No can do babe. I don't want to leave yet and you have to do what I say for the whole night."

He leans closer, smirking, "This way I can have a fun night as you put it."

I did say that but I feel sick and the longer I stayed the worst I felt. Ross keeps his arm around me, pinning me to his side as he drinks another cup of beer. I haven't been paying attention to how much he's drinking. Then it hits me; we came in his car!

I quickly rip the cup from his hand and hand it off to someone walking by. "Why did you do that woman?!" He yells with wide eyes and his hands raise in the air. If I wasn't still scared about Conner and wasn't frustrated with Ross for not letting me leave, I would have laughed. But I'm mixed with emotions so I did the only thing I could do.

I slapped him.

I twirl on my heels (which was kind of hard) and stalk off, fuming. I was fine with him the whole night! I considered him a friend! I knew I would've regretted that acceptance later and I did. Ross is a jerk. I don't feel good and I want to leave and he's my ride. Which makes him drinking worse because now how am I supposed to get home?

I have to find Hailey.

Pushing through the massive crowd, I search all the rooms looking for my crazy best friend but come up hopeless. I pull out my phone and try calling her but she never answers.

It isn't a good idea either because I can barely here anything. Instead I quickly type a text, 'Meet me outside on the back deck. It's important!' I look around one more time but still don't see Hailey, I open up one of the glass doors that lead to the deck and slip out.

The noise difference is so noticeable, that I rub my ears for a little bit until the ringing disappears. I take a seat on one of the many benches they have outside and collapse. I'm tired and still shocked from what happened in there.

Who would have told Louis about Ross and I? Do we really seem like we're dating? Now the worst part is that Ross will act on the lie. I know he will and it will just make everything worse for me. I'm lost in my thoughts that I don't hear the door open or close until someone takes a seat next to me, then did I realize I'm not alone anymore. "You okay?" I roll my head to the side to see Hailey staring at me with concern. I shake my head and look back out into the sky.

"Conner is an ass." I'm not going to elaborate any more than that, "Ross makes me feel mixed emotions because one minute I hate him and the next I'm laughing and thinking how hot he is." I throw my hands in the air, "Then Louis announces to the whole damn school that Ross and I are dating! Where the fuck did he even get that from?" I'm breathing hard by the end because I'm practically
yelling.

Hailey puts a hand on my shoulder with sympathy. "Stop worrying about Conner. He is gone from your life." That's what you think. "Ross...well personally I think you like being around him but you want to find everything he does annoying when really you don't."
