END OF PROM

By the time I got to her house she has passed out, checking the time it was still nine. I can't believe she made me leave the party so early.

This is my first time of coming to her house, I never came because I was kind of nervous of meeting Eric's parents. I carried Brianna and some how managed to ring the door bell.

"Oh my God, what happened?"

"Hello ma, am Dax a friend of Eric. He had me bring her home since she was drunk" I said a little nervous.

"Oh, that's so sweet of you. Come this way I will show you to her room. I can't believe this daughter of mine got herself wasted, she will be in so much trouble tomorrow"

"Please don't scold her, she had quite a rough night"

"Oh that's so sweet of you, I have heard a lot about you from my son, am very glad to finally meet you"

"You too ma"

"Please call me Mrs Cromwell, and also what about Eric and Gia"

"The party has pretty much started so I told them to stay. We all can't just leave especially us that are graduating"

"Oh that's true" I helped her take Brianna to her room before I started heading out.

"I will see you next time Mrs Cromwell"

"You too dear, thank you for taking good care of my daughter"

"It was nothing" she is very nice, Eric and Brianna are lucky to have a mum like her.

My mum left my dad and I and married into a richer family just for material things. I never had a problem with her leaving, I was only ten when she left.

I saw how her absence affected my dad in every way, that made him determined to get rich and get his wife back because he love her too much, that has always been my problem.

Why does he has to love her too much? Why can't he just move on? I watched him work day in and day out just to get to where he is now. We had to move a couple of times just for my dad to secure a better job.

He walked so hard that he never had time for me, I had to learn some certain things at age twelve. Like how to cook for myself, do my own laundry, keep my room clean.

Walk myself to school, and every other thing. I hated my mum for it, she never visited to see how am faring. Am never going to love any woman like my dad did to my mum.

Is a waste of love and time and everything. Why love one person when you can have fun with many. Speaking of fun I better get back to the party so I can join the others and have fun.

Gia's POV

This party sucks, I can't even find Brianna anywhere, I remember Eric telling Dax to look after her. I didn't want to get myself drunk so I sticked to non-alcoholic drinks.

I was sitting within the cloud I watched as students begin to dance with their partners. Is too bad I won't be dancing with anyone, I wonder how Brianna is doing.

Soon lots of students started getting drunk which led to most of their behaviours. Most of them were fighting as others we managed to avoid alcohol tries to separate and calm them down.

The funny one was when two guys fought because of a girl who was busy having and making fun with another guy, I nearly approach the girl but decided against it. She wasn't at fault I just blame the guys fighting for her.

Everything was boring the hell out of me so I decided to go look for Eric and know if he can direct me to Brianna since she wasn't taking her calls.

I push through the cloud struggling to get pass the drunk students at the dance floor. Just when I thought I made it someone grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

"Hello pretty" the guy who was holding my hands said, I nearly choked he reek of alcohol.

"Let go off me" I tried getting his hands away from mine but he was holding me tight. I managed to push him off causing him to fell back.

"You will regret doing that" he said coming back at me, I started running trying to avoid him but he caught up to me since i couldn't push pass the clouds.

I felt a sharp pain when he grabbed my hair drawing me back. I screamed trying to get him off me but he wouldn't let go.

I struggled with him trying to free my hair but he was holding so tight, I took his hand and sinked my teeth into his fresh biting so hard.

He groaned in pain and let go off my hair, I took that as an opportunity to run but I bumped into someone and fell. I felt a sharp pain on my leg as I fell.

I think I twisted my ankle, holding onto my legs I tried to get up but the guy dragged me again but this time around someone fought him off.

It was only then that I looked up and saw Eric as he hit the guy a couple of times before pushing him off, the guy seeing that Eric was way stronger than he is withdrew and left.

"Gia are you okay?" Eric asked as he placed his hand on my head and slowly run his hand through it. I felt on top of the world, he touched my hair. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear him calling out my name.

"Gia, Gia!"

"Oh, yes am okay" I said a little embarrassed of myself for acting so stupid.

"Who was that guy?"

"I don't know, I was coming to you when he grabbed my hair" it was then I noticed my losed hair, I think I lost my hair band.

"Come let's get you off the floor" Eric said as he placed his hands around my waist helping me up. I was still trying to memorize the feeling am getting from being this close to him when I felt a sharp pain on my leg.

I can't believe I forgot the fact that I might have twisted my ankle when I fell.

"Are you okay?" Eric asked after hearing my hiss.

"I don't know, I think I might have twisted my ankle" his hands around my waist tightened as he brought me more closer to himself.

"I think is high time I take you home" he said, he took me by surprise when he carried me and took me outside the school hall.

I heard no idea where he was taking me but I placed my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes as I was loving the feeling of being in his arms.

I opened my eyes when he set me down in front of a car, who owns this car because I know Eric doesn't own one yet.

"Hold on to me, l need to open the door" he said, I didn't know which part of him to hold so I grabbed his shirt and hold on tightly.

"But who owns this car?"

"Dax, he gave me the car key earlier today"

"Dax owns two cars?"

"Yeah, this baby belongs to him"

"But how come I have never seen him with it"

"I don't know, he said he got tired of it" I was surprised, Dax sure have his bag filled with money. If really said he was tired of this car, then his bank must be raining with money. I think the car is a range rover or ford I just couldn't tell but it looked new.

"Here let me help you" Eric help me sit comfortably at the back seat.

"Thanks Eric, for having my back. I don't know want I could have done"

"It was nothing and besides am responsible for you to night. How is your hair, are you okay?"

"I guess"

"Let me see"

"You don't have to, am fine"

"Gia, just let me see" I allowed him to raise my hair up and hissed in pain, oh God I think that idiot might have injured me when he grabbed my hair.

"See, wait here let me get some ice"

"You don't have to, let's just go I can do that at home"

"No, just wait here in the car I will be back" he said and left, I smiled to myself as he left. I love the way he is so gentle with me, but my smile quickly disappeared when I saw Mary staring at me from the other side of the field.

Her looks spelt nothing but trouble but she doesn't scare me.
