Chapter 3

Naomi

Emily has been acting weird all day, in fact she had been acting a bit strange for a couple of weeks, I had only really started to notice it this morning though, she had been distant throughout the whole day, I was worried about her, she seemed to be deep in thought about something all day, and then she had turned up tonight in that dress, I had honestly lost my ability to speak. God I think back to how she looked in that dress and it took my breath away again, she looked so beautiful. I was snapped out of my Emily musing when I heard the bathroom door slam open and a couple moaning. I scrunched up my face and grimaced, great I was going to have to witness a couple humping each other, I finished on the toilet and flushed it, the sound of moaning continued not seeming to be bothered that someone was in the bathroom with them, I unlatched the door and opened it, I stepped out and started to walk over to the sinks, I stopped surprised when I saw that it was in fact two women kissing each other, they were no older than me and one had her hand up the others skirt, I looked away quickly when I realised that I had been staring at them, and went and washed my hands, I then left the bathroom, leaving the two girls still moaning together. I shook my head and chuckled, you never knew what you were going to see in a night club. I stopped chuckling when I reached the bar again

"Another shot of vodka please"

The woman winked at me and pulled a bottle of vodka and a shot glass from behind the bar, she filled the shot glass up and pushed it towards me

"On the house for such a gorgeous girl"

My eyebrows raised and I smiled in thanks, I picked up the shot and tossed it back, with a slam I put the shot glass back onto the bar, the woman had already walked off to another customer, I turned around, deciding to try and find Emily again. The wave of bodies seemed to part and I saw Emily's red hair, it felt like a truck had hit me, there she was grinding up against a fucking leech, my heart clenched and I gritted my teeth, what was happening to me, she was only dancing with another guy, 'she supposed to be dancing with me' wow where did that come from? I can't be jealous that my Emily, no, just Emily, is dancing with another guy.

"OH MY GOD"

No, no, no, this can't be happening, I can't like her she's my best friend, I don't like her like that. I started to stare at them again, the guy was slowly running his hand over her body, how dare he, that was mine. I shook my head trying to dispel the thoughts that were swirling around my brain. I turned around. I couldn't watch them anymore,

"One more shot"

The women poured it out for me and I flung it back,

"Hey isn't that the girl you came in with?"

I looked up at the bartender

"What?"

Instead of answering me she nodded her head behind me, I turned around and I saw what she was talking about. The guy that Emily had been dancing with was gripping her hips hard while Emily was trying to squirm away from him. Anger built up within me, I could feel myself shaking with violence, how dare he hurt her, I started to run over to where they were, I vaguely heard the woman behind the bar call for security, but I didn't care, I was going to kill him. I pushed past numerous bodies, until I was behind them, I could hear Emily starting to cry, I grabbed Emily and pulled her away from him, he looked surprised when he saw me holding Emily and then he started coming towards us I acted on instinct and brought my foot back and managed to kick him right in the crotch, he instantly collapsed onto the floor, groaning while cradling himself. I hugged a crying Emily into me her head cradled into my neck, the guy started to try and stand up when two guys appeared behind him, they were wearing t-shirts with the words security printed in yellow on them, behind them the woman from behind the bar was stood, she pointed at the guy who was still trying to stand while cradling his crotch and the two guys picked him up and carried him away. Sobs continued from Emily. The woman approached them,

"She alright?"

I gave her an eye roll but still managed to respond

"Yeah I'm going to take her home, thanks for the help"

The woman waved her hand at us

"Don't worry about it, for the trouble your drinks are on the house"

She started to walk away, but turned around

"Nice kick by the way!"

And with that she was gone, I turned my body into Emily and felt her sobs start to calm down, I rubbed my hand up and down her back, she lifted her head from where it was nestled in my neck and looked up at me, her big brown eyes were filled with tears and I felt my heart nearly burst with my feeling towards her.

"God, I'm so stupid, I'm really sorry Naoms"

I shake my head

"Stop it, this wasn't you fault, c'mon were going home"

I felt Emily nod against me and we started to walk out of the club, heading toward my house.

I'm back, sorry about the wait but unfortunately school comes first. Good news though, I'm currently finished with exams and school for the next 8 weeks. So that means more time to write, so you can probably expect regular updates from now on.
