Everything moved so fast and it was kind of like I was in a dream. I never expected Chase to grab my arm like he did, nor try to pull me out the back door into the dark. He was drunk and obviously high on something, and thankfully, I didn’t give him the chance to do whatever he was going to do. Hence, the reason he was being held back by two of his friends with tiny shards of glass stuck in his head. The broken bottle neck in my hand was evidence as to what I did.

One thing that really pissed me off was when Chase pulled me out the door, I was clearly struggling, but no one tried to stop him. It was like they were too afraid to mess with him. Well, I wasn’t. Mason was nowhere to be seen and neither was Wade. Chase was a scary looking guy, and for a moment the fear clouded my judgment and I couldn’t think of anything else other than what was about to happen to me. The farther he led me away from everyone, my survival instincts kicked into overdrive and I reacted, not caring about the consequences.

“Claire!”

Out of all the roaring and screaming, I heard his voice … Mason’s voice. When he pushed his way through the crowd and saw me with the bloody bottle in my hand, his face turned into a mask of confusion. However, when he saw Chase being held back by a couple of other men his confusion turned into rage.

Fuming, he stalked toward me, took the broken bottle away, and flung it across the yard. His warm hands grasped my face, holding tight, to keep my gaze on his. “What the hell happened?” he demanded, shaking in anger.

The girl standing behind me had been in the kitchen and saw everything. She was the one who got someone to help me, eventually. Hesitantly, she came up to me and Mason, and when he acknowledged her, she muttered nervously, “Um … Chase had gotten a little rough with her, and I watched him pull her out of the house to out here. I don’t know where he was planning on taking her. Anyway, she hit him over the head with a bottle that was sitting on one of the patio tables. He completely deserved it, especially since everyone was too scared of him to help her. My boyfriend was somewhere in the house so I texted him and he came to help.”

The moment she said that I knew it was over. Slowly, he turned his head to me, his green gaze turning as black as night. “Claire, is that true? Did he try to hurt you?”

Knowing I had no other option, and regretting what was about to happen, I closed my eyes and nodded once. That nod was all it took before his hands left my face and I felt the rush of air from his immediate absence. I didn’t want to open my eyes, but I did.
