Y/N's POV
Bumping into everyone that's in our way, the mysterious blonde directs me towards a one person restroom.
I hold on to her shoulder tightly, afraid I might faint at any given moment.
She holds my waist tightly, as if she's also afraid I might pass out.
We finally make it to the restroom, she opens the door while still holding me in one arm.
To our surprise there are two women inside, one admiring herself in the mirror and the other applying lipstick.
"Out!" the blonde says demandingly to the women.
They just stare at her through the mirror not giving in to her request.
"Now!" She says louder than the last time causing them to jump and look back.
As they are about to argue with the blonde, they quickly divert their eyes towards me and see the blood dripping down my face which causes them to gather their things in a hurry.
"So sorry" one of the girls says softly as she leaves. The other girl just gives me an apologetic look and follows her friend outside.
The blonde leans me against the counter of the sink and walks back towards the door locking it.
I almost fall forward and she quickly reacts by putting both hands on each of my shoulders and leans me back slowly.
"Careful" she says while keeping me in place
"Sorry" I say in a low voice I can barely even hear. Why am I so nervous? Hopefully she doesn't notice.
"Let me see" her voice sounds so soft and she's so careful. Quit it y/n, stop thinking like that.
I slowly nod my head accepting her request. I lean down to give her access to my wound because I'm a little taller then her.
She stands so close to me I can practically hear her heart beat and her shallow breathing.
She squints her eyes and examines my wound. Her hands are soft and warm, her touch is so delicate.
I flinch "Ouch" I say as she touches the entry of my wound.
"Sorry" she says while looking carefully into my eyes with an apologetic look.
"It's- okay" I say redirecting my head towards her.
she examines it one more time.
"Good news or bad news?" she says while removing her hands from my head.
I stare at her confusingly "Good news?"
She nods her head "Good news is you won't need any stitches"
"and- the bad news?" I say scared to hear her answer.

She clicks her tongue
"Bad news is, you're incredibly ignorant."
I furrow my brows in confusion "Excuse me?" I say offended by her remark.
"What were you thinking? going up against a man like that?" She says sternly.
I scoff and look away from her.
"What were you thinking?" she says softly.
To be completely honest. I wasn't. I didn't like the way that idiot was treating her and I sure as hell hated the way he grabbed her. Men like him deserve to be put in their place.
I shrug my shoulders "I guess you could call it liquid courage" I say teasingly. Damn I know for a fact that the alcohol helps me be confident but not this godamn confident.
She seems offended by my answer. She takes a couple steps back. Dammit why'd I say that to her.
"Liquid courage huh?" she says bitterly.
I open my mouth to respond but she quickly opens the door and leaves.
I look down and close my eyes, trying to forget how rude I was. On second though, I wasn't rude, she was the one who called me ignorant. Still I should've been nicer she was only trying to help, I think.
I'm so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear the door open, and suddenly I feel something cold hit me and I look up.
"Liquid Courage" the blonde says while holding an open bottle of vodka.
I furrow my brows "Did you just- throw alcohol on me? wow that's twice In one night" I say jokingly.
"You know, you shouldn't drink if you can't handle it" she says annoyed.
I roll my eyes "I don't even know your name and you're already telling me what to do"
Her attitude shifts as if she knew she crossed a line.
She walks forward not breaking any eye contact. My heart skips a couple beats.
"I'm sorry, it's not my place to say that." She says softly.
I look at her unable to form any words because she's so close. Her perfume is strong, kinda like flowers mixed with vanilla. I like it.
"I know this might hurt but I brought this to make sure your cut doesn't get infected" she says gesturing toward the vodka bottle.
I nod "Okay, knock yourself out" I say letting her put it on my wound.
I purse my lips and shut my eyes tightly not trying to give in to the pain I'm feeling right now. My hands grip tightly against the edge of the counter.

"Keep them closed" she says demandingly.
I hear her grab paper from the dispenser.
"Don't open your eyes okay"
"Yeah, I heard you the first time" I say seemingly annoyed.
I feel the towel rub against my eyes. She's trying to get the alcohol off my face so it doesn't sting my eyes. She's too nice, no no no stop it y/n, she's just being a decent citizen.
I feel her rubbing my cheeks, then to my jaw. Yet I don't feel any alcohol on me anymore. She's so delicate with every movement.
I slowly open my eyes meeting her gaze. Her eyes, wow, I could stare into them forever.
She doesn't break eye contact. What is this a staring contest? she then clears her throat and looks down. Did I win? or did she realize she was staring at me?
"Scarlett" she says meeting my gaze once again.
I look at her somewhat confused.
"My name." she says as a smirk crosses her lips.
I give her an amused look "I can see that" I say teasingly.
She shifts her expression, now she's confused.
"Sorry, I just do this thing with women and I try to picture what their names are, based on how they look" I say mumbling a bit.
She gives me a shocked expression.
"What did you think my name was?" She asks genuinely intrigued.
"Don't worry about it" I say teasingly.
"No, come on. Now I have to know" she says smiling at me. I could get lost in that smile.
"Okay.. okay. You look like a Rachel or heather or something along those lines. But I can totally see you being a Scarlett." I say jokingly waiting to see her reaction.
She's not showing me any emotion but her eyes say it all. She's offended. Wow I'm on a role tonight.
"See, I knew I shouldn't have told you. Now you think I'm an asshole."
"You read my mind" she says sternly and sarcastically.
I look down avoiding eye contact. I'm trying to think of a quick apology but I can't my mind is everywhere right now.
"When I first saw you, I thought you were brave, stupid, but brave." She says and I roll my eyes.
"I never said thank you" she says and I look up.
"I didn't do it for you." I say bitterly.
She frowns, she thought she was special. Why am I like this? why am I so mean? why did I say that?
I clear my throat "I mean I did, but I mostly did it because he deserved to be put in his place and learn to never do something like that again" I say nervously.
She smiles "anyways, thank you."
"Yeah anytime." I say smiling at her.
She looks into my eyes examining me, she leans a bit closer. Her phone rings and she quickly diverts her eyes away from me and picks up her phone.
"What do you want?" She say's bitterly
"Really? Now you want to talk?"
She sighs "I'll be there"
Her total mood is different and I can tell. Who was on the phone? I don't want her to leave.
She looks at me embarrassed.
"Trouble in paradise?" I say teasingly.
She gives me a smile-frown "it was nice meeting you....."
"Y/n" I say once I notice she was waiting for my name.
She furrows her brows in confusion "Sounds familiar." She says questionably.
I just smile at her. I don't want this conversation to end, I don't want her to leave.
"Do you, need a ride?" I ask nervously.
She looks at me as if she's about to say yes, instead she thinks about it. "Haven't you been drinking?"
Shit, I forgot about that. "I don't think so, you know I'm not a big fan of alcohol" I say sarcastically.
She rolls her eyes and lightly punches my shoulder. "You're unbelievable" she says jokingly.
"I'm sorry, you're right, I have been. I can walk you if you want. You know just in case any more bad guys come your way." I say teasingly.
She laughs. For the first time I'm hearing it. I have this feeling in my chest and it feels weird I don't know how to explain it but wow, her laugh is beautiful.
"Okay, you can walk me home"
A/N: Hey guys, I'm really new to this so I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, well I probably am. Anyways I made this at 3:00am sooo it's a little rough, let me know if I should fix anything or what you'd like to see in the future. Also I'd love some strict criticism.
