Chapter Seventeen

'Ok, Well, We're just going to the club, so, Wear something that's kinda, Casual, but sexy and cool at the same time'. Nodding, I grabbed my suitcase and pulled it up onto the bed. Emptying it out, So, Ryan could see what I had.

'What about these and.. This?' I asked, holding up a pair of skinny jeans, and a black strap and sleeveless top. He nodded, And I headed off to the bathroom to change.

Pulling the top over my head, and adjusting it so that my boobs weren't on show and checked my hair and face in the mirror, Groaning when I saw what I actually looked like... a clown caught in the rain. Quickly grabbing and wetting a towel, I started wiping my make-up off.

When it was all gone, I headed back out to Ryan.

'Ok, What does it look like?' I asked, Spinning on the spot. He smiled and nodded his head in approval.

'Looks great!' I smiled widely and headed back over to pick out some shoes. Deciding to go with my Black and red wedge heels. And grabbing my bullet belt. I started to finish getting changed. 'I'm going to get ready, see you in a few' Ryan said, heading out the room.

'Ok'

When I was finally ready, hair and make-up re-done, I decided to go and get Ren. I couldn't help but shake off the feeling I was forgetting something...Oh well.

'Wow, you look hot! ' I told her as I walked into the room and she was pulling the last few finishing touches to her outfit.

'You think Ryan will like it?' Wait...What?

'R-Ryan?' She nodded. 'I don't know you liked Ryan'.

'I know, But, He seems sweet, I wanna try and get to know him a little better... You know?'

'Yeah... I know. He's a great guy Ren. You are a lucky girl if you get a man like that'. I gave her a sad smile and headed back out her room, Calling only to tell her we'd be leaving soon and closed the door. Great.

As I walked towards the front room, I could hear Jack's voice coming from the kitchen. Oh, great..their back.

'Hey, Amanda, Guess what!?' Daisy yelled at me excitedly as I walked into the room. I just gave her a ''What?'' Look and sat down, waiting for everyone to finish getting ready so we could leave already. I wasn't in the mood for this anymore. 'Jack told me something before, He-'

'Boo no offence, but, I don't wanna hear about you and Jack right now'. She slowly closed her mouth and looked at me. 'I have a headache, Im going to see if the guys have any pain killers' And with that, I stood up and left the room, As I came out the doorway, Jack passed me. He didn't even say two words to me, but to be honest...I couldn't care less.

'Hey Donnie, Do you have any pain killers?' I asked, Sitting down on the table, holding my head in my hands. He looked at me for a second, before he grabbed something out the cupboard and threw them at me. 'Thanks'.

Crawling off the table, I sat down and opened the packet.

'Here you go' He set a glass of water down in front of me, and then sat down. 'You don't look so good'.

'Yeah, I bet. I don't feel so hot either'. I told him, popping the pills in my mouth and downing a big gulp of water. But when I looked back at him, He smiled. 'What?'

'You say that, but you are looking pretty hot from where im sitting'. I felt myself blush and looked away.

'I meant, I don-'

'I knew what you meant.' He cut me off, still smiling.

'Yeah, I bet it's not what you meant'. His smile grew and he shrugged his shoulders.

'Seriously...Are you ok?' I put on a brave face and nodded, even though, inside, I was screaming NO! 'If you ever wanna talk... I'm here for you, you know?' He told me, Reaching for my hand and taking it in his.

'Thank you' I whispered, As my voice caught in my throat.

'You're welcome'. We stayed silent..looking at each other for a moment, still holding hands, until the sounds of everyone running down the stairs made up jump, and then laugh at each other's reactions. 'Come on, Time to go'. Standing up, we walked out the door with the others and left to go meet Ron and Derek at the club.

'Hey guys, about time you six got here' Derek yelled happily as we all headed over to the table, covered with pint glasses and bottles, both full and empty.

'Yeah, we had to wait for these two to get home' Donnie joked, pointing at Daisy and Jack. As we sat down, Daisy next to Ron, Jack next to her, Me next to him, Ryan next to me, Ren next to Ryan and Donnie next to her, the waitress came over and took our drink orders.

We all started to talk amongst ourselves about each others day, Donnie was talking to Ren about England. Apparently, he really wants to go there but there's a complication or something. Daisy was deep in conversation with Derek and Ron, with Jack adding every-now-and-then, but, I could tell by his voice and his body language that he wasn't really into the discussion.

'Having fun?' Ryan leaned forward and whispered in my ear, I turned, so my back was to Jack and smiled at me.

'It's ok, A little crowded'. He ''Mmm''ed and nodded in agreement. 'You having fun?' He just shrugged, which made me laugh a little. 'Though is there air-conditioning in here or something, it's freezing'.

'Didn't you bring a jacket?' I shook my head, Sighing and shaking his head, in a playful-disappointed way, He took off his jacket and passed it to me, Quickly putting it on, it was really warm.

'Thank you, Ryan'. Leaning up, I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek to say thank you.

'No problem'. Turning back, and picking my glass up to have a quick sip, I nearly spat it back out over poor Ron, who was sitting directly opposite me, when I felt Jack put his hand on my thigh. Slyly moving my hand under the table, I pushed it away, but he just put it back again.

'Jack, Stop it'!' I whispered, but only loud enough for him to hear, but instead of moving it, he just squeezed my thigh and carried on having his conversation with Daisy and the other two.

'Are you ok Amanda, you look... jump-y' I quickly shook my head and focused my gaze on my drink. Freezing my movements completely when Ryan wrapped an arm slyly around my shoulder. Oh, could this get any more uncomfortable!!

'Um...Where's the bathroom?' I asked, standing up quickly, making both guys drop there hands.

'I'll take you, I need it too'. I gulped as Jack stood up and practically ran over everyone to get away from the table, and Jack, but in my attempts to get away, I almost fell over everyone..a million times. When I did finally get away, I thought I was free..but then, 'Hey, Hold up' I sighed, Its hopeless, I can't get away from this guy.

'Can't you just tell me where they are Jack?' I asked, draining all emotion from my voice.

'Why do you suddenly hate me so much, I haven't done anything wrong, Manny'. As soon as he said that, My heart started hurting.

'Exactly' Seeing the toilet, I saw my opportunity to get away from him, and quickly sped up, walking away from him.

Walking out the toilet door, and reaching for the door handle to head out, back into the club, Someone put there hand around my mouth, I let out a scream but it was muffled by the hand, which was slowly suffocating me. I couldn't breathe, and that was causing me to panic.

'Shhh, Don't scream, Its just me'. My panic was rising, but at the same time so was my anger, as I started pulling on the hand, but it wouldn't budge, so, I did the only thing I could think of. I bit him. 'OH f**k! What the hell did you do that for?' Holding my chest, I just looked at him, Gasping for breath.

'I couldn't breathe you d**k! What the f**k is your problem!' I screamed at him.

'I'm sorry, I didn't realise... I just wanna talk to you'.

'And you couldn't do that without trying to kill me, Donnie!!?'

'Look, I'm sorry, but I seriously need to talk to you, Come with me' Before I could answer, he took me out the back door of the club and into the alleyway behind it. It was cold out here, but, at least I was warm-ish in Ryan's jacket.

'Start talking, It's freezing out here'.

'Ok, Look, I don't know what's happened between you and Jack, but, He's really torn up with whatever it is. He loves you, Amanda.' I sighed.

'Yeah, sure'.

'No, Listen to me, He does love you, He loves you so much, but, he doesn't know what he's done wrong.'

'He texted Daisy, saying he loves her, They have been inseparable since we got here! Explain that!'. He shook his head in what seemed like annoyance, What business is this of his anyway!

'He texted you! He must have sent it to the wrong person, an honest mistake! And as for being inseparable with her.. have you even left Ryan's side for two seconds since you arrived?'

'I don't believe you, and even if I did, how do I know you're telling the truth?'

'Ask anyone of the guys, they will all tell you the same thing. Since the second we met the guy, he's been in love with you. Whenever we go out, he would NEVER be interested in any other girl. He'd just sit in the booth, and drink, then go home. He. Loves. You'.

'R-really?' Oh my god... He did love me. I felt a smile creep across my lips. HE LOVES ME! HE LOVES ME!

'Really'. Donnie smiled down at me. I still couldn't believe it!

'I know! Maybe you should warm me up' Both, me and Donnie turned to look where the nice and laughing came from, From the dim light coming from the street, We could just make out two figures at the bottom of the ally..clearly drunk.

'Maybe we should go back inside'. I whispered, but, Really, I just wanted to get back to Jack.

'Daisy, shhh, People will hear you'. I froze...Daisy?! Looking back up at Donnie... He just looked at me with a ''Oh f**k'' look.

'It's probably not what you think, Come on, let's go'. I couldn't move. We weren't in view so they had no idea we were here.

'Jack...Warm me up' She wined. I couldn't tell if I was angrier or sadder. Then my question was answered...

He pushed her up against the wall and pulled her lips to his. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close to her as they full on made out. I looked away once they started...touching each other and looked back at Donnie.

'Clearly, he loves me!' I scolded. Hearing her Giggles, I fought and lost, the urge to turn back around and look at them.

Pulling on her hand, Jack led her out the alleyway and down the street, heading home. Fighting tears, I walked back into the club, followed by Donnie, back to the table with everyone else...
