Still Nathans p.o.v

The music seemed to stop as harshly as Tom's fist hit my eye. Only the music hadn't stopped, it just appeared that way after I'd hit the floor. I shake my head to try and make my vision clearer, but I knew that feeling after getting into a scrap at school before, my eye was getting tighter by the second. I look to find Maddie and see her holding her head in pain, I'd pushed her out the way to make sure that Tom didn't catch her but I geuss I pushed her too hard, she's sprawled across the floor, her body pushed against the pool table. Tom doesn't bother looking at me, he heads straight towards her. The music is still blaring and no one apart from Caoimhe seems to know what just happened, everyone is carrying on as usual. I come to my senses and pick myself up, I rush over to see if she's okay.

"I think my head hit the pool table" she's in the middle of laughing and crying and the alcohol cant seem to make up it's mind.

"Maddie, just try and get up for me" I urge her as I lift her up under her arms, careful to support her incase she's dizzy from the impact. She doesn't take her hand from the back of her head and I lift her hair to check that there's no blood. Thankfully there isn't.

"Are you happy now?" I shout at Tom over the music.

"No of course not, I dont give a fuck about you, but I didn't mean to hurt her" Tom shouts, getting up in my face again.

"Are you alright?" we both ask simultaneously. Tom cups his hand around her face and looks into her eyes to try and get her to focus. Who does he think he is, it's his fault that this happened and now he has the cheek to touch her right infront my my face.

"Get off her" I say through gritted teeth.

"Why did you push her like that?" Tom pushes me in my chest, but I see his move before he does it and I don't flinch a bit.

"I was trying to get her out of the way of you!" I shout back, using this as my opportunity to take a good look at Maddie.

"Nath look at your eye" she panics as she comes back to her senses, she runs her finger delicately over my eye which is now completely shut and swollen, I flinch a little at the pain and she takes her hand back instantly.

"Why would you do that to him?" she demands, glaring at Tom over my shoulder as she pulls me into a hug. I feel pathetic hugging her when I should be punching Tom right back, but I'm a lover, not a fighter. Besides, Tom can be lethal when he's had a drink, and Maddie would never forgive me. No, I need to keep calm and carry on acting the way I am, it would do neither of us any good to get into a fight.

"He was showing you off! Rubbing it in my face" Tom shouts back at the thought of loosing her as a friend again.

"Last time I checked, you didn't want her, you wanted to be greedy and have your pick of the women, you have Caoimhe, remember her?" I ask him bitterly as he tenses from trying not to hit me again.

"I'm taking Maddie upstairs, you two are beyond a joke" Caoime speaks up, ushering Kaya over to us so she can help.

Tom's p.o.v

"You can't just parade her around" I slam my fist on the kitchen counter, we've come in here because it's quiet and less busy.

"Yes I can, I'm proud to have her, if I want to show her off, I will" Nathan says back, clutching ice to his eye, trying to reduce the bruise.

"You treat her like an object" I spit.

"Tom Parker, talking to me about objectifying women?" He laughs bitterly. He's probably right, I dont have any respect for women apart from respecting their bodies. Only I didn't respect Maddie's body when I gave her that bruise on her wrist, and I don't respect Caoimhe's body when I push her away from me.
