Chapter 4 .

"I believe I can change your mind, and your mood, one dance, darling, that's all I'm asking for." I looked behind me in hopes that Lydia would save me from this man but I saw her out on the dance floor making out with someone, Lydia was never the shy type.

"I'm sorry but my ans-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as he stepped closer and was now so close that there was no air in between us. He roughly pulled me closer to him with his hand still firmly placed on my shoulder. The shock of his action left me to drop my glass off wine onto the floor and the glass shattered into pieces. I could smell his alcohol covered breath fanning my cheek as he leaned in.

"Dance with me." He ordered whilst staring deep into my eyes.

I think it's safe to say that I was shit-scared and had no idea how to get any from this man. I had barely had two sips from that wine so I wasn't affected by the alcohol. Yet, I just froze. Unable to think or speak. How did I get out of here?

It was like someone else was controlling my body making me immobile.

I suddenly felt his hand being ripped away from my shoulder and I saw it being bent as the man screamed in pain.

”She said no.” it was him, his eyes were boring into the man who had placed his hands on me, looking like he was about to kill him, he clenched his other fist by his side as if he was getting ready to throw a punch.

”I’m sorry!" The man pleaded. This whole situation had me startled and scared and it was causing a scene. I laid my hand on the arm of the man who protected me and upon contact I felt a jolt of electricity run through me.

I shook it off as a result of what was happening and stepped closer.

”Please, let him go." I felt my voice crack and so did he. He turned his head and looked at me, seeing the obvious fear in my eyes he let go of the mans hand. The man clasped it close to his body and stared petrified at my protector before he hurried out of the party quicker than I could blink.

He turned around and glared at me, I could see him clearly now as he was standing right in front of me. His eyes were a crystal blue, not like Liams. No. These eyes were like a sea of diamonds glistening in the sun, and his hair was cut at the sides and the most beautiful dark blonde shade. His lips were a light pink and hes entire persona was perfect to the point where I wanted to touch him once more, only this time to see if he was real. He didn't take his eyes of off me, scanning me from top to bottom and lastly locking his eyes with mine once more.

Who was this man?

He then turned around and started to walk away.

" Wait! Wh-whats your name?" I yelled behind him, he had just saved my night and something about him truly intrigued me. He slowly turned around and straightened his back.

”I’m James. James Knight,” He said with a grin on his face as he turned around and continued walking.

I felt a chill go down my spine again, I turned back to the bar.

"Here you go miss, from the man over there." The bartender said and turned his eyes too James. In front of me was a new glass of red wine, but a much more expensive wine then I had originally ordered, I knew because the bartender held up the bottle that he had poured it from.

I looked at the glass and felt myself smile at his gesture, I turned my head his way and nodded. I started sipping on my wine and I saw Lydia coming up quickly beside me

"I must say, the crowd is looking good tonight." she winked as she bit down on her lip. We both started laughing and I took another sip.

"You see that guy in the black coat?" Lydia pointed to a tall, slim figure who was standing in the middle of the dance floor dancing with another girl.

"He's amazing with his hands. In case you want to try." She said with a devious smile and shrugged. And again I couldn’t help but laugh.

I wasn't the one to go around with different guys like she was, I wasn't able too, never had been. It had always only been Liam. Not that I really gave myself to him, but I was going, eventually.

As we stood by the bar I could suddenly feel the dance floor moving and the sound of the music becoming weaker, the base got louder and the laughter was barley to my hearing. I had to hold on firmly to the bar so I didn't fall. I tired blinking several times to ease the fogginess that was replacing my vision.

White dots were forming in front of me and I could feel my legs folding, giving in, not being strong enough to hold me up anymore. I was feeling so tired. I could vaguely hear Lydia screaming in panic as I dropped to the floor and felt the back of my head hit the edge of the bar. But it didn't hurt. I scrunched my nose trying to make sense of everything.

But the darkness luring in the back of my mind seemed so welcoming, so relaxing. Maybe if I closed my eyes for only a second. Yes, just a second.

I stared up at the ceiling as I felt my eyes roll back into my head. And just like that, the alluring darkness swallowed me whole and no voices or sounds could enter.
