"Cmon El, you look fine." Emily said sitting on the edge of her bed watching me redo my makeup.

"You sure?" I asked looking at myself in the mirror. I did a simple black eyeliner with mascara and maroon lips.

"Yes! It matches your dress and you look sexy." Emily said twirling her short blonde hair. I looked down at the tight dress I was wearing and sighed happily. It was strapless, with a low back line and black with a maroon trim. It was from her mother's fashion line up.

I finished curling the ends of my shoulder length platinum blonde hair and half smiled at my reflection. "I'm gonna call Alex and see if he will come." I said walking back to my bed as Emily started to do her makeup. I looked at my phone seeing his number I saved after he texted about my classes and what the teachers said. He kept his promise and I admire that.

I hit call and put the phone up to my ear with a smile. He finally picked up after the third ring. "Hey, what's up?" He asked in a sleepy voice.

"Hi sleepyhead, I was wondering if you wanted to come out with me and Emily tonight?" I said a bit nervous making Emily give me a weird look.

"I'm not sure, I have class tomorrow." He said and I can only imagine he was rubbing his eyes.

"Oh, okay." I said trying to hide the disappointment in my voice. "Well I was hoping you'd come and protect me from the bad guys that will be there, but I won't make you." I said feeling a bit down.

"I'm sorry Elena, maybe another time." He said about to hang up before I stopped him.

"Wait, if you change your mind it'll be at the club on 3rd street. I hope I see you." I ended off and hung up. I sat on the edge of the bed and sighed.

"Sorry El, we can have a girls night okay?" She said coming over and rubbing my back.

"That's perfect with me." I said smiling at her.

We arrived at the club and it was already packed with people. I sat down at the bar with Emily, while she ordered a couple shots giving me a look of worry. I wasn't my upbeat self, I can see why she would be worry.

"Don't worry about me, go dance. I'm going to sit here and drink my heart out." I said pushing her towards the floor. She seemed hesitant but left anyways already dancing with some guy. I laughed slightly at her and just looked back at the shots on the table.

I took two and already felt a bit lighter and better. It was two more, and then it was five more. I was wasted and then I saw Jett come into the club making me even more sad and angry. I walked towards the bathroom hiding my face, and it worked perfect.

As I got in the bathroom I pulled my phone out of the little purse I had and dialed Alex's number. I'm not sure why I did, but I was so drunk I couldn't stop myself. As it rang, I wasn't expecting him to pick up since it was late. "Hello?" I heard his groggy voice say, making him sound sexy.

"You sir, should be here. I'm lonely." I said into the phone my voice slurring.

"Are you drunk?" He asked a bit alert.

"Yes I am mister Alexander." I said giggling. Before he could say anything I heard the bathroom door open making me look over and see Jett standing there with his hands in his pockets.

"Stay there I'm coming to get you okay?" Alex said into the phone but I couldn't hear him due to my anxiety setting in.

"Leave me alone Jett!" I said loudly. He chuckled and I used to think it was sexy, but now it's creepy.

"I don't think so sweetcheeks." He said walking towards me. I tried to back away but I couldn't.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled when he pulled me towards him.

"You don't tell me what to do bitch!" He yelled back making my heart stop. I did the only thing someone would do in my position. I kneed him in the balls, pretty hard.

"Don't fucking call me that!" I said punching him in the face while he was bent over holding himself. I quickly left the bathroom and felt myself about to cry. I stumbled as I ran out of the club and once I was leaned on the wall I pulled my phone out texting Emily that I went back to the dorm. When I looked up I saw Alex in baggy sweatpants and a old white shirt running towards me.

"Elena!" He called as he hurried over to me. I couldn't speak, my emotions overwhelmed me. "Are you okay?" He asked putting his hands on my shoulders looking me in the eyes. Before I knew it I was crying and when he pulled me into a hug, I cried harder. "Let's go." He said quietly. I nodded my head and he tried to guide me back to the college but I was still so drunk.

"I'm sorry." I said tripping over my feet still crying. I expected him to just walk away but when he picked me up bridal style, I immediately put my arms around his neck. I laid my head on his chest and heard his heartbeat going fast. It was putting me to sleep and I felt safe in this guy's arms even thought I barely knew him.

"Don't fall asleep yet, we are almost back on campus." He said but I couldn't hear him because I was falling asleep already. I tried to stay awake, I did but his deep voice and heartbeat was just putting me to sleep.

"Keep talking to me." I said with half opened eyes, looking up at him.

"What do you want me too say?" He said nervously.

"Why did you come?" I asked feeling his grip on me tighten.

"You were drunk, and sounded distressed. It would of been wrong for me not to come. Why did you call me drunk anyway?" He asked sounding curious.

"Because I like you Alex." I admitted a bit sad. "You're different from the guys I would talk to, but I want something different. I want safe, not dangerous." I said yawning. My eyes closed again and I heard him sigh softly.

"I've liked you for a long time to Elena." I heard him say quietly as I fell asleep in his arms with a smile on my face.
