This is Love | Daniel Seavey

six

By 3 AM everyone at the party was wasted. My friends and I were having the time of our lives dancing, but I was the only sober one. I only had two shots and barely took any hits from the blunt. 

"Hey, we should go" I yelled to Johnny over the music "I'll be right back though, I'm going to get you some water, okay?" I told him. "Okay beautiful" he replied which made me smile.

Making my way to the kitchen I saw a few people i knew from class and said hi to them. After a few minutes I was in the kitchen, opening the fridge.

Suddenly from behind me I hear, "no fucken way...Kristen?" I turn around and see Michael.

"Michael? Hi" I smiled. "Hey, it's so good to see you again" he said. "Same here, who are you here with?" I asked him. "My roommates and some friends. What about you?" He asked. "Just some friends and my boyfriend" I said. "Oh that Daniel guy?" he said while looking away. "No he actually um...he cheated on me so we broke up" I said quietly.

"Oh I'm sorry about that. So who-...oh wait...Mendoza? Like Johnathan Mendoza?" He asked while looking at the name on the jacket I was wearing.  "Oh so you know him?" I asked. "Yeah I know him, he's in my frat, so he's wasted or what?" He laughed.

"Yeah, we're gonna go get food for him and head back to my place" I chuckled. He laughed, "alright well good luck with that, I'll text you some time to hang out, see you around" he said. "Alright, bye" I said as we hugged.

I went back to grabbing some waters and as I was about to close the fridge I felt someone hug me from behind and a hand went up to grab my boob. I turned around thinking it was Johnny but instead it was Daniel.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked trying to push him away. The waters in my hand weren't making it too easy. "I miss you, baby" he said going in for a kiss.

"Dude seriously, get the fuck away from me, I don't want anything to do with you" I said raising my voice.

"Don't be like this, babe" he said pulling me in by my ass. "Daniel, stop." I said trying to wiggle out of his grasp. Once I did, I made my way out back to Johnny and the guys. "Wait, come back" Daniel whined, "babe" he yelled.

"Daniel, leave me the fuck alone" I yelled back. "Woah, what's going on" said Johnny "Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm her boyfriend, who are you?" Daniel slurred.

"No babe, let's just go" I said trying to grab Johnnys arm. "He's just my ex, he's stupid" I said still trying to leave.

"Oh so you're the "celebrity" that cheated on her?" Johnny questioned, "you're a piece of shit".

After that I finally got Johnny to walk away and I waved by to the guys, but Daniel came up from behind us and punched Johnny in the head. Johnny turned around and started to punch back.

"Johnny stop!!" I yelled. Dropping the waters, I tried grabbing Johnnys arm to get him away from Daniel but I couldn't. Then I tried grabbing Daniels arm but he pushed me, causing me to fall and said "shut the fuck up, you bitch ass slut".

"Don't talk to her like that" yelled Johnny "give her some damn respect", he said, then he swung his arm and punched Daniel in the face making him knock out.

"Johnny, get the fuck over here" I said as I started to pick up the waters. He came over to me and I grabbed his hand and we walked into the house.
