Chapter 13 New Year's Ball, part 2

"If I knew she can dance, I would've danced with her earlier," Dave says after a moment, Colin looks at Dave now, "she asked if you wanted to dance and you said you can't dance," Colin says to remind Dave about what he said, Dave looks at him with an angry face, the guys got a little scared, he sees their faces, "what?"

"If you told her you can't dance, why would you want to show her now that you can dance?" Peter asks a little careful, Chris shakes his head, "I could've showed her how much I love her, maybe she would've fallen for it if I showed her," Dave says, Chris let out a deep sigh and rubs his own face, they've been talking about this often and Chris told him his opinion as well, "excuse me." Dave says and walks away now.

The guys look after him and Chris became a little worried now, Dave looks really angry now and he looks at Colin and Peter, who are concerned as well, "shouldn't we do anything?" Chris asks, Colin lifts his shoulders up and Peter looks away, Chris shakes his head, "some friends are you." He says and walks away, they look after him and then at each other.

Dave is at the punch table and takes some more punch, he takes a little bottle of rum out of his pocket and empties it in the cup, a teacher is watching him carefully now, Dave drinks on the cup and looks at the dance again, he sighs and empties the cup, then he takes some more punch, 'why in the world does her boyfriend need to be here?' he thinks as he drinks again.

Chris went to Jenny and Billy, he taps Jenny's shoulder and she turns, she looks at him and sees his face, "hey Chris, are you okay?" She asks, Billy looks at Chris and became a little protective, he lays his arms around Jenny and she smiles at him, Chris looks at Billy and tries to smile a little, "don't worry, I'm not here to take Jenny from you," Chris says, Billy let Jenny go and sighs a bit, "you want to say something?" Jenny asks now, Chris looks at her again, "it's about Dave," Chris says, Jenny got concerned and looks around, "what is he up to?" Jenny asks, Billy is a little confused now, "what's going on?" He asks, Jenny looks at him as well, Chris looks at Billy, "Dave is being jealous, he's very angry and he has been drinking, I'm not sure what he will do, but I do have a bad feeling."

"Who's this Dave?" Billy asks as he looks from Chris to Jenny, she looks at him again and takes his hand, "has he been bothering you?" Billy asks, she shakes her head, "no, not me, he likes Baby a lot and he had asked her to go with him to the ball," Jenny explains and Billy looks at Chris again, getting worried now, "he's very jealous of Johnny, I tried to stop him often, but he's not leaving it alone, I don't know what to do." Chris says as he sighs.

Mr. Castle looks around and sees Jenny and Billy, he smiles, but then he sees Chris and he got a little concerned now, he went to them, standing behind Chris now, he folds his arms, "hey, senior," Jenny says, Chris looks behind him and jumps aside when he sees Mr. Castle, who's looking at him with a very serious face, "what's going on here?" He asks, Chris sighs and looks at Jenny and Billy again, "have I missed something here?" Jenny asks, "I'm going to Johnny and Baby." Billy says, Jenny nods and he gives her a loving kiss before he walks away, the dance is over.

"Um." Chris says and puts his hands in his pockets, he didn't dare to look at Mr. Castle, "tell me, Chris, what's going on?" Mr. Castle asks in a stern tone now, pressuring Chris to say something, Chris looks at Jenny again, she nods at him, "about the other day, sir, I know you've been overhearing us," Chris says and Mr. Castle folds his arms now, waiting for Chris to go on, Jenny got confused, "I heard you talking about the girls the other day, and I don't like it one it, tell me, are you planning anything?" Mr. Castle asks now.

"What's going on?" Jenny asks now, they look at her, "I'll explain later, Jen," Mr. Castle says, Chris takes a deep sigh, "I wasn't planning anything, I actually don't want to have anything to do with what Dave wants, I told him to forget about it, but he's not taking it, he has been drinking and I feel he's up to something bad." Chris explains, Jenny looks at him as well.

"How can I be sure you're not lying, boy?" Mr. Castle says, Chris looks down, "if I see him hurting Baby, he'll live to regret it," he adds, making Chris looking up again, "I'm not lying, you got to believe me, he's being angry that her boyfriend is here," Chris says, "her fiancé and my son, you mean," Mr. Castle corrects him, "I mean that, sir," Chris says quickly, Mr. Castle keeps on looking at his face, Jenny got worried now, "I think he wants to harm them."

Mr. castle starts to look around, to see if he can find Dave, Chris is still looking at him, "I'm so sorry, sir," Chris says and Mr. Castle looks at him again, "I never had any intention to hurt either Baby or Jenny, I know Dave can be a real asshole," Chris says and sighs, Jenny can see that he means it, "I tried to get it out of his head, but he seems so determined about this."

It's a silent moment, while Mr. Castle looks at Chris' face, then he lays his hand on Chris' shoulder and smiles a little, "you seem so different from Dave, I wonder why you're friends with him," Mr. Castle says, "we've been best friends since childhood, sir, Dave has changed so much the last months, this is not the Dave I know," Chris says with a deep sigh, "I'm not even sure if we're still friends."

"Senior? Chris?" Jenny asks after their conversation, they look at her, "can you please do something? I'm worried," Jenny says and Mr. Castle nods, he gives her a kiss on her cheek, "I'll look if I can find Dave," Mr. Castle says and walks away, Chris feels a little awkward now that he's been left alone with Jenny, she looks at him and sighs, "let's find Billy." He nods at her and they walk away.

In the meantime, Baby and Johnny are dancing slowly as they're looking at each other, Johnny smiles and presses her against him, she giggles and lays her arms around his neck, "so, you've been the surprise senior has been telling me about?" She asks, he grins a little, "how did you arranged this with Max?" She asks and he gives her a loving kiss, "he saw my face and asked what was going on, I explained about the ball, he could see I wasn't going to let this go and told me I could come," Johnny answers and Baby smiles as her thumb caress his cheekbone a little, "I do need to go back to work tomorrow."

He turns around a few times, making Baby giggle, he smiles as he watch her face, "I love you," he whispers and gives her a little kiss on her nose, "I love you too, Johnny Castle," Baby says and giggles, he chuckles about her face and turns around again, "you look amazing in this dress," he whispers and she looks down, he sees her thinking, "is there something wrong?" She looks in his eyes, "you think I'm fat?" She whispers, his eyebrows went up, "what makes you think that you're fat?" He asks.

Baby wanted to tell him her thoughts, but someone came to them out of nowhere, and because it happened so fast, Baby didn't had time to restrain herself from falling, Dave jumps on top of Johnny, they fall on the ground, Johnny groans a little and the guy grabs Johnny's shirt, he made a fist and wants to punch Johnny, "asshole!" He yells, Johnny grabs his arm and pushes Dave off him.

Johnny stands up, so did Dave, Billy quickly came to the situation, "you're an asshole! Baby doesn't deserve you." Dave growls as he looks at Johnny, who's eying him careful while making fists, Dave runs to Johnny who then decides to step aside, Dave falls on the ground again, people have moved aside now and they're looking at the situation.

"Go home, boy, you're drunk," Johnny says through his locked jaws, "boy? You're hardly a man yourself, you don't even fight me, coward!" Dave shouts as he stands up and looks at Johnny again, Baby became really worried now as she looks at Johnny, Billy helps her on her feet and stays next to her, "I think Johnny can handle this," he whispers, "come on! Fight me, or don't you have the guts?" Dave asks as he leaps forward, Johnny jumps aside again, Dave almost falls down again but could restrain himself, he turns to look at Johnny.

Baby is really worried and she starts to shake, Billy grabs her into a hug and tries to comfort her, "I'm so scared," she whispers, he rubs her back a little while he keeps looking at the situation, "why would I fight with you? You're drunk," Johnny says as he folds his arms now, flexing his muscles a bit, Dave snorts, "is that all you can do?" He asks and tries to punch Johnny's face who dodges it.

Mr. Castle came to the situation when he saw people moving aside, he went to Billy and Baby, she sees him and let Billy go, he looks at her and she grabs him, he hugs her and rubs her back while his eyes went to his son, "keep an eye on the situation, Billy," Mr. Castle says, Billy looks at him and nods, "help your cousin." He adds, Billy went to Johnny, Jenny and Chris heard the commotion and went to have a look.

"How is it that someone like you has the girl? You don't even deserve her!" Dave says in an angry tone, Johnny looks at Baby who's having tears from worry in her eyes, Johnny looks at Dave again and on that moment Dave punches him on his nose, Johnny steps back and feels his nose, it's bleeding, Billy jumps on top of Dave, he has enough of this, Dave is trying to fight Billy now, yelling at Johnny, "coward!" Billy stands up and lifts Dave on his feet while he holds Dave's arms tightly behind his back, "let me go!" Dave yells and tries to break free.

Johnny moves closer to Dave, making himself a little bigger and he's pissed off, Dave looks at Johnny's face, "what's your problem, college-boy?" Johnny growls, Dave didn't back off, "you, you're my problem, you've taken my girl," Dave growls, Johnny makes little eyes and grabs Dave's shirt, "what makes you think that she's your girl?" Johnny asks, Baby got scared now, she knows that face all too well, "Johnny!" Johnny ignores her pleading.

"I've been in love with her since I was 6, if someone got more right for the girl, it's me," Dave says, Johnny keeps looking at Dave's pathetic face, "more right? She's not something that you just can claim, and guess what, college-boy, she choose a real man," Johnny says through his locked jaws, he makes a fist with his other hand and lifts it up, Dave looks at it and now he got scared but he didn't want to show that, Johnny did see the reaction, "you're not worth it." Johnny says letting his shirt go.

"You're only a dancing kid, nothing more, you're nothing!" Dave shouts when Johnny has turned around and he looks at Baby, who sees his face changing, Johnny turns and punches Dave on his nose, who groans from pain, "Johnny!" Baby shouts again, she knows he can get out of hand, she let Mr. Castle go and quickly went to him, "stay out of this, Baby," Johnny says as he has grabbed Chris' shirt again, who starts to laugh, "what? You don't dare to punch me now?" Dave asks, Johnny got angrier but he didn't want to make it worse, he let the shirt go again and steps back, Baby grabs him, "take him out of my sight, Billy."

Billy nods and Chris quickly went to him, "let me help you," Chris says, Billy nods and they carry Dave outside, Johnny holds his arms tightly around Baby, he sighs and she looks up at him, he looks in her eyes, "did you know?" He asks, Baby shakes her head no, "I had no clue," she says, "if I knew, I wouldn't have said yes to him to go to the ball," Baby whispers, he sighs and gives her a little kiss, "I'm so sorry," she whispers, "don't be, it's not your fault." He whispers.

Mr. Castle went to his son and Baby, Johnny looks at him and sighs, "your nose, son," he says, "it's nothing, dad," Johnny says, Baby looks at Mr. Castle as well, "is this what you wanted to warn me about?" She asks, he nods and sighs, "yeah, but I didn't want to ruin your evening," he answers, "you knew that this would happen?" Johnny asks, Mr. Castle sighs deeply again, "I've overheard him talking to his friends, he was making a plan to ruin your relationship," he says, "how long do you know this?" Johnny asks, getting angry again, Baby holds him a little tighter, "since a few days only, I'm so sorry, son, for not handling earlier," he says, Johnny takes a deep breath, "it's okay, dad."

People are starting to dance again and the band starts to play again, "the boy doesn't know who's he messing with," Johnny says, Baby sighs and lays her hand on his chest, "don't go down that road again," she whispers, he looks at her and inhales deeply, "I'm going to get you something to drink." Mr. Castle says and walks away, Jenny is watching them, though she's worried about Billy, he hasn't come back inside.

"I'll never leave you," Baby whispers, he smiles a little and leans in to kiss her slowly, "I love you, Baby," he whispers, she lays her hand on his cheek and gives him a kiss again, "I love you too, Johnny," she whispers, he holds her tightly and they sway a little, "don't you think I look fat?" She asks, to pick their conversation up again, he let her go and looks at her up and down, "you're not fat, Baby, you're very beautiful, what makes you think you're fat?" He asks, Baby inhales deeply.

Johnny is watching her face and became concerned, "Baby?" He asks, she looks up in his eyes and sees his concern, "I feel weird lately," she starts, "and when I was getting dressed I noticed that I'm getting a big belly," she whispers and lays her hand on her belly, he looks at her hand and then back up in her eyes, "you think you're pregnant?" He whispers, Baby looks down, his hand went to her chin and lifts her head up.
