CHAPTER 11

Cole looked down at me and I couldn’t read his expression. He didn’t look worried like I would expect – but he definitely looked irritated. I imagined I was in the way at this point, but I wasn’t sure what to do. I tried to find Sam and Luke in the crowd by the stage, but there were so many people that I couldn’t make them out.

“I’m not looking for any trouble tonight,” Cole said straightforwardly.

“I can see that,” the bald guy said with a low whistle, looking me up and down.

“Tommy, leave her out of this, I swear,” Cole said sternly.

“I can’t even imagine the sweet lies you have to tell in order to get a girl like this to run around with a lowlife like you,” Tommy replied.

“Leave my girl out of this,” Cole said again, gritting his teeth. “Walk away or I swear you will regret this.”

“Does he talk tough like that to you in bed too, sweetheart?” Tommy snickered. The words were barely out of his mouth before Cole raised up a strong arm and clocked him in the face. I think I screamed.

Tommy continued to come at Cole, but Cole’s unrelenting blows quickly sent him to the ground. Blood poured out of his face. The two other guys with Tommy joined in, one hitting Cole in the face and the other trying to pull Cole off of the bloody man on the ground.

“Cole, stop!” I shrieked. Tommy looked unresponsive, but Cole continued hitting hm. “Cole! Enough! Stop!”

The music kept screaming from the stage, as if this horrible bloody mess wasn’t happening. Most eyes were oblivious to what was going on, although a few people were watching once they heard all of the commotion. Finally two large security guys from the bar came over and tried to break it up. Fists were still flying everywhere and I backed up as far as I could, not knowing where else to go. All I knew is that I so desperately wanted out of that room, but there were too many people. I felt like I was suffocating.

One of the security guys finally got Cole off of Tommy, and there was so much blood. Cole had blood on his face and all over his hands, and even some on his light blue t-shirt. Tears started pouring down my eyes, even though I couldn’t get a handle on how I truly felt at the moment. The whole scene terrified me – the fists, the blood, the look in Cole’s eyes.

My whole body felt like it was trembling as Cole was shoved outside of the bar. Tommy still laid on the ground and I heard people screaming to call 911. I stood against the wall, covering my mouth, hoping everything I just witnessed wasn’t true.

Some guy in black clothes came and grabbed my arm, leading me towards the front of the bar. “You need to get out of here or he won’t leave,” the stranger said loudly into my ear. The band was still playing and I just wanted to scream at the top of my lungs.
