Sorry for the slow updates on this story I'll try and get the next few updates up soon.

Bear with me on this story :)

An hour later there was a knock at the door and Elphaba jumped up to answer it knowing it would be Fiyero.

"Hi Fae" Smiled Fiyero "You look beautiful!"

"Hi Yero, can we please go before Galinda talks me to death!" Elphaba joked after giving him a small kiss.

"Elphie! I heard that!" Galinda said as she gathered her belongings and went to the door to stand next to Elphaba.

"I never said you weren't meant to..." Elphaba rolled her eyes and walked out into the corridor grabbing Fiyero's hand "Come on lets go already, the sooner we go the sooner we can get back!"

Galinda giggled and ran to catch up with Elphaba and Fiyero "Awww come on Elphie it's gonna be super fun!"

"Yeah sure..." Elphaba replied sarcastically "Where is this party anyway?"

"It's at a friend's house..." Galinda said happily.

"Which friend's house?" Elphaba asked suspiciously looking at Fiyero to see if he knew.

"Oh, just Shen-shen's!" Galinda chirped as she overtook Elphaba and Fiyero to show them the way. A few minutes later they arrived at the generously sized house. Drunken Shiz students filled the rooms and music blared out of the stereo.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Elphaba wandered out loud as Fiyero placed an arm around her shoulders knowing she had never been comfortable at parties and big social gatherings.

"Come on Fae, it'll be fine" He reassured as the trio took a seat on a big, comfy sofa in the corner of the living room in Shen-Shen's house.

"I'll get the drinks!" Galinda giggled "what do you guys want?"

"I'll just have a lemonade Glin, I'll need to keep a clear head" Fiyero said.

"I'll have the same" Elphaba answered quickly.

"Awww you guys are party poopers!" Galinda moaned but went to fetch the drinks anyway.

"Why didn't you have an alcoholic drink?" Elphaba said as she looked up at Fiyero.

"Because I want to be able to make sure you're both safe tonight" He replied seriously "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you and I couldn't protect you..."

Elphaba smiled up at him and kissed him gently. Her cheeks flushed as she said "I can look after myself but... thanks"

Fiyero squeezed her shoulder warmly before Galinda returned with the drinks. They chatted for a while before a game of spin the bottle was announced, Galinda squealed in excitement and dragged Elphaba and Fiyero to play the game. Elphaba spotted Avaric in the circle and glared at him. Fiyero was beginning to feel very relieved that he hadn't had anything alcoholic...

Elphaba felt sick in the stomach as the bottle landed on her, she looked up helplessly at Fiyero who was sat next to her. He put an arm around her and whispered "Its ok you don't have..."

He stopped mid sentence as the bottle landed on Avaric.

"So greenie it's me and you..." Avaric laughed evilly "That is if you're not too scared to do it!"

Elphaba looked up at Fiyero again with a mixture of fear and determination in her eyes.

"Me, scared?" She said more confidently than she felt "Never!"

Avaric took a step into the middle of the circle and Elphaba stood to meet him. Elphaba glared at him again as Avaric licked his lips seductively. Fiyero didn't like the look of lust in Avaric's eyes as he enclosed the remaining space between himself and Elphaba and forcefully pushed his lips onto hers.

Avaric thrust his arms around Elphaba so she couldn't get away and carried on kissing her as she struggled against him.

Fiyero leapt from his seat and flung Avaric's arms from around Elphaba who stumbled backwards to Galinda.

"You bastard!" Fiyero shouted then punched Avaric in the face. He fell to the floor "If you ever even think about doing anything like that again I swear I'll kill you!"

Avaric backed away knowing he was defeated.

Fiyero turned to Elphaba who was trying not to cry knowing the pain it would cause her. He quickly went to her side and embraced her, the rest of the party looked on in shock as Fiyero led Elphaba out of the party. They sat down on a bench outside the house in a nearby park.

"Fae are you ok?" Fiyero said in worry as he held her tight "I'm so sorry I let him do that to you"

Elphaba looked up, her face stained with burns from her freely falling tears.

"Yero, it's not your fault!" She said "You stopped him when no one else would! If not for you... who knows what else he might have done..."

"Oz Fae, we need to get something for those burns!" Fiyero realised alarmed at the fierce read streaks that were forming on her face. He wiped the remaining the tears away with his shirt and lead her to his dorm room because it was closer than the one she shared with Galinda.

Fiyero sat Elphaba down on his bed and took the bottle of oil he always kept in case of emergencies. He applied it gently with one finger trying not to cause Elphaba any more pain.

"Thank you" Elphaba smiled for the first time since getting back from the party

"Anything for you, Fae" He said as he cupped her face with his warm hands and kissed her lips. He could taste the alcohol from Avaric's lips on Elphaba's so he kissed her until it was no more.

"Fiyero, I need to get back to see if Galinda is ok" Elphaba realised.

"Its ok, I told her you would stay here tonight and she said she'd get Boq to walk her back" Fiyero said as he pulled the covers back on his bed for Elphaba and himself to get in.

Fiyero pulled Elphaba close breathing in her exotic scent. They fell asleep.
