Leo's POV

I hear a faint sound over the music and the talk from the lads standing around me, something that sounded like my name, I shrug it off and go back to my drink. It was probably nothing.

I'm standing with a group of four others guys, I don't know any of their names, didn't bother to ask. The guy next to me is smoking a joint all wrong, he's holding it like he's scared it's gonna bite him and I'm debating whether to take it off him and smoke it myself.

I hear the same sound again and take my attention away from the twat, who's now almost inhaling the whole blunt, to the crowd in front of me. It was definitely someone calling my name, so I start scanning the party, trying to find who's calling me.

If it's that blonde again I swear I'm going to change my name, move to Paris and get a restraining order. "Leo, down here!" I hear again, this time from lower and my eyesight drops to the floor.

That when I see a shadow waving in my direction, I make out another shadow slouching again them and have to squint to realise who it is.

It's her.

I don't hesitate when I realise who it is, shoving a guy who's standing in front of me out of the way and pacing over to a desperate looking Jade. I get closer to her, having to dodge a few drunken girls who try to stop me and see that she's bare foot on the grass, with her slaggy friend, who's practically sitting on top of her.

"What happened?" I sigh, running my free hand through my hair and putting my now empty beer bottle, onto the floor next to them.

Jade looks up at me so innocently and then back at her friend desperately, "It's a long story." She seems tense, struggling to keep Naomi sitting up right, she turns to me again, "Please just help me get her back to our cabin."

Naomi is oblivious, staring off into the distance, hiccuping ever now and then. Jade looks up at me with those gorgeous grey eyes and I suddenly feel a need to help, as though leaving her isn't even an option.

"Come here." I say motioning to the drunken Naomi, Jade sighs in relief and lifts up the darker girls arm, allowing me to hook my bicep underneath her side. Jade wraps her small arm around the girls waste and we, mainly me, lift her up to her feet.

I see Jade stumble, almost buckling under Naomi's weight and bite back a smile, she's lucky I was here. We start to weave slowly, in and out of the groups of scattered people, most of them seeing me giving them a dirty look, and quickly stepping out if the way.

We get to the top of the bank, after slipping down a few times because Naomi didn't want to go up the hill. She kept muttering something about the water? I don't know, I'm trying to ignore her. We reach the open path way and start to head towards Jade's cabin, most people are starting to leave the dock anyway now.

A few idiots stumble in in front of us and an older looking guy stops to whistle at both the girls next to me, taking a particular interest in Jade, looking her up and down slowly. I feel my blood boil, my jaw tenses up and I almost let go of Naomi to smack the shit out of him, but he must sense my anger, as he backs off, holding both his hands up in surrender.

I'm not sure what it is about the people here, they either hate me, or they're scared of me. Or they want to sleep with me. I couldn't give less of a shit either way.

We reach cabin number 5, I feel the same relief that washes over Jade, hitting me. For some reason I can just imagine how many times she's had to do this exact thing, dealing with Naomi drunk isn't something I would want as a full time job either.
