Chapter twenty four

Because maybe your gonna be the one that saves me, afterall your my wonderwall

Lauren, Joey and Alice all left the house and made their way to the club, it wasn't a very comfortable walk, the silence was very awkward.

"So.. looking forward to tonight, Lauren?" Alice asked, attempting to break the silence.

"Yeah, I haven't been out in months" Lauren nervously laughed.

"Looks like we've got something to celebrate then don't it?" Alice smirked.

"Alice" Joey warned. "Chill out Joey, I'll be fine"

Alice giggled.

"Alice I'm serious.." Joey warned, again. "What's up with you two?" Lauren asked, seeing an argument about to erupt.

"Alice here has a reputation don't you Al? She can't handle the alcohol" Joey said.

Alice rolled her eyes and Lauren laughed. "Oh I know she can't" Lauren giggled.

"Right…?" Joey asked raising an eyebrow. "Long story but it taught me that I should keep all eyes on Alice when she's drinking" Lauren smirked.

Both Lauren and Joey started to laugh and Alice glared at them. "Shut up you two" Alice frowned as they walked down the steps to the club.

Lauren giggled again "I'll keep an eye on her" Lauren said, smiling at joey.

Joey smiled back at her and headed towards the office. "Lauren?" Joey shouted.

Lauren turned back around, her long hair flowing around her shoulders as she spun around.

"See you later babe?" he grinned.

"Ye… see you later" she said smiling too, she walked away feeling her cheeks heat up quickly.

.JL.

Joey laughed to himself for what seem like the one hundredth time. He looked over at the dance floor, seeing Lauren and Alice dancing with each other.

He guessed that the dance moves they were currently wearing weren't the usual ones, the girls had got themselves progressively drunk throughout the night and joey had thought about refusing to serve them a couple of times, but he knew they needed to relieve some stress and this was good for them both, to be out as friends and just have a fun time.

Joey was serving a customer when he raised his head seeing some guy talking to Lauren.

She didn't look very comfortable so joey finished serving the customer and then he kept an eye on Lauren.

Lauren swayed on the spot and pointed her finger in the other guys chest, seeing him smirk.

Joey grew more worried as Lauren started to look around her after the guy whispered something to her.

Her eyes connected with Joey's and they looked torn, she mouthed 'help' and Joey was over there like a shot, just as the other guy gripped her waist.

"Oi, off her now!" Joey said, shoving the guy away and pulling Lauren into his side.

"What's it got to do with you?" the guy slurred. Joey laughed "everything mate" he said moving his face right in front of the other guys.

"okay… what you gonna do if I don't get off her?" the guy smirked.

Joey smirked back at the guy, realising the idiot was trying to challenge him.

Joey released Lauren from his hold and swung his arm backwards, letting it fly forward into the culprits face, knocking him to the floor.

Joey then bent down to the floor. "I hope that answers your question" he said before getting up.

Lauren looked a bit shell shocked, so joey put his arm around her shoulders, bringing her forward and kissing her forehead, before leading her to the steps of the club.

Joey pressed his lips onto Laurens soft ones, both of them smiling as they broke apart. "Are you alright?" he asked. Lauren smiled at him "yeah, I cant find alice though" she frowned.

Joey and Lauren made their way outside to see Alice throwing her guts up outside the club.

Joey rolled his eyes and sighed, him and Lauren heading over to help,

"You two can stop at mine tonight, none of you will be in any fit state for a lecture of your dads tomorrow… and yes ill ring them both to know where you are" he told them.

They both smiled at Joey, Alice falling under his protecting arm as Joey entwined his other hand with Laurens.
