The only one

Chapter 2

I cursed when I saw the defined back of Alex, a baseball cap secured on his head.

I walked up to the bar and instantly recognised Laura, she does night shifts here all the time since living here is quite expensive.

Speaking of which I probably need a job.

" you got the b***h out of her room wow, " she says placing beers in front of the guys. she's always one to live off my weaknesses. she is like my motivator in life for ultimate failure.

Its great to have such a strong support system.

Alex looks somewhat confused probably thinking she's still talking to them. poor guy, he looks adorable with his nose twitching slightly and his eyes narrowed.

Adorable, what the hell.

He looks at me quickly realising, that I was leaning against the bar close to him. he didn't move away or anything just kept his gaze on me.

" Thanks to Remi " Sam mutters briefly looking up from his phone. she tilts her head back laughing. She looks kind of crazy but Laura is someone that rarely cares about what people think of her.

"That sounds right, so my child what do you want to drink," she asks me.

" we're the same age I'm hardly a child" I snap back at her. we both glare at each other but funnily enough she just turns around and starts to make me a drink. She's so extra it kills me.

" so, you knew her drink but you still asked her?" Alex decided to enter our personal conversation like it's his right.

"Alex, you will soon realise that messing with young Freya is just a god's blessing" I swear she needs to stop speaking either to me or about me like I'm a 5-year-old.

Alex peers at me through his cap with a knowing smile. Yeah, I get it he's already messed with me. I'm more than surprised that he hasn't mentioned it yet.

"look, while you two stare at each other I'm going to go...over there" he points randomly, well not actually more like over to the group I walked in here with. When I take a closer look, I can tell that there's a lot more people now.

"don't look so sad Freya, just means that we're going to be seeing more of each other," he says turning his body to fully face me.

Just perfect the rugby guys had to join us.

I wasn't blind to the curious looks the girls were giving me. I get it I'm the luckiest girl in the city to be having his full attention.

But please, I just don't want him spilling anything right now.

"this wasn't supposed to happen we were supposed to never speak after yesterday, can hardly stand your presence already" I huff. I grab my drink and prepare to leave.

"that's not the way to talk to the guy who could spill your little secret is it?" he grabs my arm pressing his fingers down ono my skin. My eyes widen and I reluctantly stand back in place.

"you're a f*****g prick you know that" I say under my breath. "this is why I can't stand the thought of you, out of all people knowing because you don't care, all you care about is having one over on me" by now I was fuming I had prodded his chest about 5 times.

He shut his mouth just watching me vent out to him.

"This guy is gone he is out of my life, I hope you follow suit" I finally say leaving him alone.

I barely made it to the table before I was walking the other way. I needed some fresh air this bar was suffocating me.

I breathed in the air from outside, rain was battering down onto my skin. My clothes were getting drenched but I honestly couldn't give a s**t. If only he could just forget what he saw and be a decent guy.

"hey mami, come over here its freezing" a rough voice says from behind me. I peered behind me and nearly was sick in my mouth when I saw the state of this guy.

He wore a puffy black coat over his tracksuit bottoms clearly living for that chav life.

"it's alright, I'm alright here" I mumble back trying not to make eye contact. But it seems as though he just couldn't get the message.

"no no no, padre wouldn't be happy if I left a girl out here, come to me darling let's get you warm" he motioned to his lanky chest. Yeah f**k off mate, i would rather freeze to death.

Chapter 4-03

I quickly decided that running back inside was the only way I could get away from this weirdo. But to my weak attempt I wasn't able to get passed him.

"that's it baby, come to me I'll warm you up" he pulls me into his chest fully taking advantage of my slightly exposed chest. He moved his face into mine since he wasn't that taller than me.

I tried to push him off but he made sure I couldn't move with his hands on my waist. He backed me up to a wall before placing his lips against my neck. His lips were wet and slippery, it felt like I don't even know, slugs or something.

I wished for anyone to come outside, why the f**k did I run out here on my own, couldn't I have gone to the toilet.

"mmm you taste good baby" he groaned against my chest. f**k sake this was getting ridiculous. I tried everything from pushing at his shoulders to kicking at his legs but I got nowhere.

So, in the midst of his disgusting lips on my neck I screamed. Full on screamed like a b****y banshee. I never knew I could scream like this but I was thankful I had some power in my voice.

"you little b***h "he growled covering my lips quickly. He tried to shut me up so nobody would notice but he was too late. One of the guys from the sheltered area quickly stomped on his cigarette and raced over.

He pulled the guy off me with force before shoving him into the ground. Some other guys ran over and took care of the guy whilst he catered to me.

"s**t, are you alright sorry I didn't come sooner I literally thought you guys were making out or something" he trails on checking me for any injuries. His eyes locked on my neck and I knew that this guy had left a mark on me.

"no, I'm fine, thank god you did," I say actually relieved, this guy didn't seem dodgy I recognised him but I could figure out why.

"yeah, your scream definitely woke me up, I was dead on falling asleep over there, I'm joe by the way" he admits to me with an apologetic look.

"look, I'm going to check on the guys but is there someone I can get to stay with you or do you wanna go inside, you came with a group, right?" I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do.

"do you know remi or Sam, I walked in with them," I ask him, hopefully, he does because they're the only ones I want to see in this state. Unfortunately, he shakes his head.

"look ..." he begins to say when all of a sudden, the door to the bar swings open. A figure walks out a lighter in his hand, probably ready to have a smoke.

I recognised the outfit immediately and his name slipped from my lips alerting Joe that I knew him. His eyes widened before he called out to Alex.

Before Joe could explain to him what's going on Alex was already making his way towards me.

"Freya are you okay, f**k joe what did you do" he narrows his eyes at him.

Joe raises his arms up surrendering. "before you murder me I didn't do anything, she was being molested by some guy, the guys are handling him as we speak" he told Alex whose body was still tight and probably ready to pounce.

Didn't really understand why he was being so angry. He probably thought I deserved it.

"did you know who it was? Alex asked removing his jacket meanwhile. Please don't do what I think you're... f**k sake he literally did just remove his jacket to cover me.

Joe watched the action with curiosity.

"Nah ain't got a clue, I'm going to go see now though," he says patting Alex on the shoulder before racing off.

Alex was in front of me instantly. I didn't know I was crying until I felt him grab me and pull me into his chest.

"f**k, Freya I'm sorry I shouldn't have made you angry and storm out, Christ I should've followed you out at least" he curses at himself as he gently strokes my back.

I wasn't strong enough to push him away I needed someone to wrap their arms around me.

I barely had time to react because he took my hand and pulled me back into the bar, he sharply took a left where there was a snooker table, luckily the room was empty.

"look Alex you don't have to do anything I'm okay" I reassure him when he strides over to the table and pours me a glass of water.

His back was tensed it was obvious from how thin his shirt was. I could see his muscles tighten at my words.

"just drink this, I need to know you're okay" he whispers bringing the glass up to my lips. I didn't want to argue with him so I parted my lips taking in the fresh water.

The whole time I had my eyes closed I couldn't stare at him any longer not from the look he was giving me.

"thanks, you really didn't need to do that," I tell him once I'm done with the water. He places the glass down on a nearby table before leans against the snooker table.

"look, I know you think I'm some careless prick but I was never planning on telling anyone, what you do in your time is not mine or anyone else's business," he tells me, he made sure to face me as he said this.

I admit I did think he as a prick but if he was going to tell anyone people would be spreading it like fire by now. Hearing him say it though just makes me less stressed.

"Thanks Alex I appreciate it," I say just above a whisper. The atmosphere in the room changed. I really didn't know how to handle the situation so I decided to push off the table bringing the glass of water with me.

I removed the jacket from my shoulders, thankfully my clothes dried up now so my clothes weren't sticking to my body leaving me in embarrassment. I stopped when I saw the horrible mark on my chest.

"he left quite a number on you" Alex mumbles looking at the mark as well.

I watched his fists clench at his sides. I found that quite strange why did he seem so f*****g angry.

"It'll disappear soon, its fine" I shrug off his jacket and hand it to him which he takes thankfully. Goosebumps appear on my skin from the sudden cold air.

"thanks again, and could you tell that other guy I said thanks too," I say, his name slipping from my mind. What was his name again?

I barely heard his reply because I was already out the door. Things just got really complicated, I f*****g need to sleep.

Chapter 5-01

Remi and Sam haven't left me since we got back home. I told them it was necessary but they weren't listening to me. I shouldn't complain really, they were just being good friends and I should be more appreciative of them.
