My vision was making me see double and my head was dizzy so I got a glass of water from the bartender before Branna and I started to leave. I came to the conclusion that I was drunk when I fell walking up the stairs of Darkness and then burst out laughing. Branna was drunk as well, but she seemed to be walking fine and only laughing a little when I did or said something stupid.
"Come on, let's get home," Branna announced when we got outside.
I waved to Skull, who didn't look so much like a serial killer to me anymore with his smiling, happy face. "That was deadly!" I shouted to him.
He laughed and waved. "Get home safe, ladies."
"We will." Branna waved back to him.
Branna had her arm around me as we walked down the path with people in front and behind us.
"Hey babe," a voice said from my left.
I looked to the voice and instantly beamed.
"Drake!" I shouted. "You're The Destroyer! I saw you fight tonight; you were deadly!"
His face was pretty busted up but he was still smiling, which meant he couldn't be hurting that bad. "I got me arse handed to me but thanks, I'll get better once I get a decent practice routine."
I nodded my head. "I bet you will."
He grinned at me and glanced to Branna. "Do you and your friend wanna come to a party?"
Branna perked up. "A party? Where?" she asked making Drake chuckle.
"In Upton, Nico is havin' a party to celebrate his win tonight."
I instantly scowled. "We can't go."
Drake frowned. "Why?" he asked.
"Because Dominic and I hate each other plus me sister here punched him in the face earlier tonight so we won't be invited," I snorted then cracked up when Branna cackled when she remembered what she did.
"I'm sure Nico won't mind you comin'," Drake continued as his eyes flicked over my shoulder.
I was chuckling now. "No, seriously, he would mind a lot."
"I wouldn't mind at all, pretty girl."
I froze.
Why did he appear at the most unnecessary times?
Seriously, he was like fucking herpes.
"Go fuck yourself, Dominic."
Drake raised his eyebrows as he looked over my shoulder and asked, "She your misses, man?"
I erupted into laughter like what he said was the funniest thing ever.
"His misses? In his fuckin' dreams-"
"Yeah, she's mine."
Drake nodded his head, though he didn't look happy anymore. "I'll catch you around then, babe. See you back at yours, man."
"Yeah bro, later."
I spun around, taking Branna with me, to face Dominic… and all his brothers.
I glared at all of them, except Damien, and then lifted my free hand that wasn't wrapped around Branna and pointed it into Dominic's red and slightly swollen face while he folded his arms across his chest and looked at me with a raised eyebrow and smirk playing on his swollen lips.
"Listen here, y-you little cock suckin' cunt, I am not yours. I am n-not anythin' to you and if you so much as hint t-that I am again, I'll kick the shite outta you and then stab you in the e-eye with a pen-"
I cut myself off when I heard Branna heave and felt her body droop.
"No Branna, don't do this. Don't you p-puke on me or die, I can't carry you home; I'm w-weak as shite!"
When I heard the lads laugh, I looked up and growled.
"Fuck all of you, except you Damien, you're n-nice," I said, making Damien laugh and Dominic growl.
"Give me her, I'll carry her back to the house."
I looked at Ryder when he spoke. "Eh, no, she thinks you're a p-prick - as do I - and will punch you if she realises you're w-with her."
Ryder smirked and looked down to Branna as he said, "I'll take my chances."
I rolled my eyes and swayed a little because the movement made me feel dizzy again.
"I got you."
I felt the weight of Branna's body leave my arms, and I forced my eyes open and glared at the silver ones staring down at me. "Let. Me. Go," I growled.
"Okay," Dominic said and let me go, only to grab me again when my knees buckled from under me.
He laughed as he lifted me up and held me against his hard body. "Looks like you need me, pretty girl."
I hated when he called me that, it was a stupid nickname.
"I don't even look p-pretty," I replied, groggily overlooking the comment about me needing him, there was no way in hell I would admit to that. Ever.
Dominic's reply was a chuckle as he hoisted me into his arms and carried me off somewhere. My last coherent thought before everything went black was that Dominic was going to cut me and my sister up into little pieces, and his brothers would help.
Except Damien, because he was nice.
Pain.
That was all I could feel in my head and body as I blinked my eyes open only to squeeze them shut seconds later. It wasn't bright; my room was actually dark indicating the curtains were pulled, so that wasn't what hurt my head. No, the pounding in my head was caused by my own doing, and the nasty taste in my mouth pretty much confirmed I did this to myself.
Alcohol, I thought, and almost wished bad things upon Branna for taking me out last night.
I relaxed into my bed, stirring a little but carefully sat up.
"Branna?" I called.
The last thing I remembered from last night was Ryder offering to help me with her. I remembered Dominic talking to me but then things went black.
"Lie back down, I wasn't done cuddling that body of yours yet," a husky male voice said, making me scream at the top of my lungs.
I scrambled off my bed only to fall from the bed and land arse first on the floor. I cried out in pain but quickly got to my feet with my arms raised ready to fight off my attacker.
"Are you actually planning to fight me with your eyes closed?" the voice asked, sounding amused now.
I forced my eyes to fully open, and when they landed on the owner of the voice, I gasped and then screamed again.
