*Delilah POV

Time check – 3 : 46

“Axel?!” I noticed that he gulped, and he backed away, “What are you doing here?” He was about to speak until Adrien interrupted him. “Eyy! Hey Delilah!” He said clinging onto Axel, I smiled cheekly and waved at him a little, I then saw Cole behind them, he looked up at me and smiled, showing his pearly whites, “Hey Lilah.” Their eyes all landed on Mason who was just standing there, “Kindly introduce us, my lady.” Adrien said pointing at Mason. I noticed that Cole was judging him by his looks and these boys were getting on my nerve, they were interrupting my date with him and I’ve had enough. “Ok so this is Mason, and goodbye.” I grabbed Mason’s wrist and tried walking away until Axel blocked us. “And can I ask what are you guys doing here?” I groaned, “We’re here to play some games. Happy?” He crosses his arms and looks at Mason up and down a glare appearing. “Hopefully not playing any feelings though.” I heard Mason scoff, he walked closer to him, but I then got in between them, I looked at Axel with ignorance, “Let’s have a talk, shall we?” He smirks and nods, “Yes, we shall.”

We both stepped out of the arcade and I slapped his shoulder, “What is your problem with him?!” I asked continuing to hit him. “Would you stop for a second?” I sighed and heard him out. “I didn’t know you guys would be here, and I was super, and I mean super surprised to see you with him, I mean your not the type to go out with boys. And plus, he was about to kiss you.” I run my hand through my hair frustrated with this man in front of me. “First of all, I’m 18, so I think I can try new things, and I’m not a baby for you to just dodge my first kiss! And second of all, why are you so bothered about him kissing me?” He sighs and looks away, “I just don’t want you to kiss him…” He murmurs but it was still audible for me to hear. My heart started pounding. I glanced at Mason who was on his phone, I texted him saying sorry and that I had to go, he understood and said ‘ok’ I looked at Axel who was avoiding eye contact, “Bye Axel.” I said leaving him there, I heard him saying wait but I didn’t even bother to stop my tracks. I got in a cab and told him to go to my house. In my mind at that moment was all scrambled up. ‘Does Axel like me or something?’ On my birthday we were about to kiss, and now his saying I can’t kiss a guy who I think is sweet and funny? Gosh his giving me mixed emotions. Sad, angry, happy and so on. I’m not even sure if I do like Mason. I leaned in the car window seeing that we were almost there. And all I know by now is that I’ll get an earful from my father.

Time check – 6 : 50

I was scrolling through twitter seeing some fan accounts arguing over something and reading their juicy tweets as they expose each other, it’s so stupid and I’m here for it. I got a text from Yvette saying that Cole’s dad just opened a new club, she pushes me to go with her as she wanted to drink tonight. I hesitated but I mean I’ve never been to a club so why not try? I looked at the time and it was almost 7, I bit my lip and finally deciding to go, I wanted to drink my problems away right now. Exams are around the corner and I’m supposed to be studying but I have the urge to go to this club and have a drink. I stood up and went through my closet. Everything in my wardrobe was definitely not for clubbing, but then I remembered my aunt gave me a dress for my 16th birthday, I don’t know if it would still fit, but I recall that it was a black bodycon dress that had a little slit on the bottom side. I tried it on and I saw how much I’ve grown, when I was 16, I knew I wore it once, and that was when my aunt wanted me to try it on, It used to be below the knee and now it was above it. “Wow.” I whispered to myself.

It really shows off my curves now, but I wouldn’t say its curves though, I would say that my body is a triangle shape like kind of body. I was pretty insecure about my body, but somehow, it isn’t like that anymore. I covered myself with a dark wrap coat and got a pair of cone heels. I put my hair in a high-ponytail, leaving little strands, I put on some light makeup and I texted Yvette that she should pick me up, my dad was catching up with Axel’s and Ezekiel’s dad, so its safe for Yvette to come here. I told the maid to cover for me and seeing the pity in her eyes, she said yes.

A few minutes later the doorbell rang, I stood up fixing myself, and opened the door seeing Ezekiel’s car. Yvette got out and run up to me all grumpy. “Guess what happened to Alisha.” Her mood didn’t change as she leads me to the car. I was confused yet worried. “W-what? And what’s Ezekiel’s car doing out here?” She didn’t say a word and pushed me in the car, my eyes landed on two pair of hands that were intertwining, my eyes shot wide and looked at Ezekiel and Alisha who were smiling happily. “You?! And you?!” I questioned pointing at both of them, I heard Ezekiel chuckle and nods. I covered my hand with my mouth. I wanted to ask more questions, ‘When?!’ , ‘How?!’ , ‘Why?’ I knew that Yvette asked those questions so I didn’t bother to ask, and just congratulated them.

We arrived at the club, and for a grand opening a lot of people really showed up, and I mostly saw the people from my school. People were dancing and having drinks at the bar, I was dragged to the side by Yvette, “Let’s have a drink. I’m sad.” She said pouting. “Oh, would you stop it? She’s just mad, I didn’t tell her sooner.” Alisha said arms crossed, “Still! We’re your best friends Ali.” I heard Alisha sigh and held Yvette’s hand, “I’m sorry, ok? And plus, I wouldn’t say we’re officially dating, let’s just say his courting me.” Yvette rolled her eyes and went straight to the bar and ordered a drink. “What can I get you?” The bartender asked me, “O-oh, I guess a Pina colada?” I said not sure with what I ordered, as I only picked the most interesting one. He smiles lightly and started to make the drink.

I sat awkwardly looking at the people dancing to the song that was playing, I really don’t know how people breath in clubs, its so crowded and such a sweaty place where people can f**k in the corner, and the others wouldn’t mind. “I’m guessing its your first time at a club?” The bartender asked handing me my drink, “How did you know?” He chuckles and looked at me up and down, “I just guessed, I didn’t know it would be true.” I nodded as I sip on my drink, the taste made me drank it quickly, it was very flavorsome than I thought. “Can I ask what your name is?” He asks and I licked my lips savoring every inch of the drink before talking to him, “I’m Delilah, but my friends call me Lilah. What about you?” He smiles and leans in the counter, “Jamie. Are you a college student?” I shook my head, and I saw he was taken a back. “I’m a senior in high school, and I just turned 18 a few days ago.” He sighs and smiles, “I’m a sophomore in college.” I couldn’t really hear him that well, that he had to shout a little, I did some calculations, and he was just one year older than Zeik, meaning his 20. “Part timer?” I asked and he nods instantly. I then glanced at Yvette who was dancing with Adrien, and I saw Cole walking up to me, “Why aren’t you in the dance floor?” He asked a beer in his hand, “I don’t really dance…” I said a little shy. He held my arm and dragged me to the dance floor, but I then thought for a while, if Adrien and Cole are here that means Axel would be here too. I started to get nervous. From our little argument a few hours ago I wasn’t ready to see him again. I looked around and I couldn’t seem to find him. I sighed in relief. I then felt someone hold onto my waist, I flinched and turned to see a guy in his mid-thirties, “Do I know you?” I asked trying to walk away from him, “Do you want to get to know me?” He held tightly on my arm as I try to get out of his grip. “Come on baby doll, I know a motel where we can spend the night…” I gulped, my knees weak, I wish I could run but it was too risky, I then remembered that sign I saw beside Jamie. I looked at him as he smirks and tries to guide me out the club. “Wait!” He then stops and looks at me, his head tilting. “I-I need to go to the bathroom, so would you mind and wait here?” He laughs, “You can’t fool me wench, now come.” I stepped on his toe and he let go, I ran as fast as I could to the bar and called out Jamie. “Jamie, I would like to order an Angel shot, with lime.” He quickly got out of the counter and brought me to the staff room, “Stay here, ok? I’ll call the cops.” I nodded my eyes wonders, and thought of what would happen next.

I then heard a knock on the door, I thought it would be Jamie, but it certainly wasn’t. “There you are.” The guy said smiling psychopathically. I backed away, he kept coming closer unbuttoning his dress shirt. This is it. I might just loose it. I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to know what he would want to do to me. I heard the guy grown, I saw that he fell on his chest, and I then saw Axel his eyes were fierce and his hair was all messy. “Lilah, you need to get out.” I was still surprised, “Lilah, out. Now.” I walked out quickly and before leaving I looked at him his jaw was clenching and his hand was molded into a fist. Jamie closed the door, “The cops will be here any minute.” I’m confused, did Jamie call him? Or did he just appear out of nowhere? I heard a raucous, and few minutes later Axel came out, his hands were dripping with blood. I looked at the guy and saw his nose bleeding, and his mouth all swollen. “I’ll take her home. Thanks James.” He nods, and we both left the club, passing by some police cars.

The next thing I knew I was in his car driving to my house, or so I thought. The car ride was too quiet that I heard both of us breathing heavily, I stole a few glances and he seems to noticed, I didn’t want to talk to him, but I really want to thank him. I realized we were in his street, my eyebrows furrows. “I thought you were bringing me home?” He bit his lip. I was waiting for an answer but he didn’t seem to open his mouth to speak. I scoffed and leaned back. Once we arrived no one was there. “Your dad and my parents went to some meeting. they won’t be home till late afternoon.” He sits down on the living room couch, clearly exhausted. I saw the bruises on his knuckles, I remembered that there was a first aid kit somewhere here. When I was a kid tiffany showed me where the important stuff was, just in case me, Zeik, and Ax were alone. I went through some cabinets and finally saw it. I sat next to Axel and grabbed his hand, I put some ointment and a little bit of betadine, I heard him hiss making more careful. I put on the band-aid, I smiled to myself proud of taking care of the wound.

*Axel’s POV

She was so gentle with putting the band-aid on, I adore her so much, seeing her smile makes my heart flutter so much, I just wanted to kiss her right there right now. She looks up at me and I coughed, standing up, heading to my room. “Goodnight!” I said leaving her there, ‘Gosh Axel what is wrong with you?’ I closed the door and plopped myself on my bed, I took out my phone texting this girl about what happened just now.

Chickentenders: Guess what just happened.

Deadflowersbloom: What?
