His face completely dropped, and he looked a little unsteady on his feet like he could fall over at any second. I didn't care though; I turned and went back over to the bathroom to where Alannah was still holed up inside. I gently knocked on the door and gripped the handle when I heard sniffling.
"Lana?" I said softly, using her nickname for the first time. "It's me, can I come in?"
I ignored the banging behind me. I knew Damien had to get dressed, and he was clearly pissed as he banged around the room but, whatever, fuck him.
I entered the bathroom when the door clicked open and locked it behind me. I kicked off my heels, bent down to my knees and then reached forward and engulfed Alannah, who was sitting on the closed lid of the toilet with her head in her hands. When I put my arms around her she cried and wrapped her arms around my back and just held me tight.
"It's goin' to be okay, Lana. You're strong and won't let an annoyin' American prick get you down, right?" I asked.
Alannah sniffled and snorted a little as she pulled back from me to get some tissue to wipe up the snot that was running from her nose.
"You know somethin'? I know Nico is your fella, but I thought he was the prick and Damien was the nice one, but I was so wrong. Nico is honest and has always been himself whether like him or hate him. Damien though… he is like a snake in human form. I hate him."
I hugged her again when fresh tears began to stream down her face; I wanted to kill Damien for doing this to her.
Who could do this to another person and not feel guilty?
Dominic wasn't joking when he said Damien was hollow; he was stone fucking cold!
"If it makes you feel better, Dominic really is a prick."
Alannah started laughing through her tears then pulled back to clean herself up again. I switched from kneeling on my knees to sitting on my arse. I winced making Alannah frown.
"I just realised we both lost our virginity tonight to the twins."
I raised my eyebrows. "Well… at least we can be sore and hate them together."
Alannah started chuckling again, and even though she was still really upset I could already see the wall she was starting to build up around her heart whenever she spat something about Damien. She was never going to forgive him for this, and if she did he would really have to prove himself to her. It wouldn't happen anytime soon though. Alannah seems to be a lot like me so I knew she would hold onto it for years and keep her guard up until her walls get smashed down just like mine did.
"Bee?" Alannah said getting my attention.
I looked to her. "Yeah?"
"Ready to go back outside? I can hear 'RAMPAGE' being cheered now that they stopped the music for the fight."
I was on my feet in seconds and shoving my feet back into my heels. I had completely forgotten about Dominic's fight, fuck! I grabbed Alannah's hand, and we all but ran out of the private room, down the hallway, and around Skull and his buddy. I widened my eyes when I looked to the platform that Dominic was on with a guy twice his size. They were even in height but this man must have been thirty years old and was at least forty pounds heavier than Dominic. The man had muscular arms but his gut looked more flab than ab. It made me grimace when Dominic punched him there, because I doubt he even felt it.
"Fuckin' kill 'em, RAMPAGE, you beaut!"
I couldn't tell which girl shouted it, and I didn't care to pinpoint her either, because she wasn't the only female shouting things like that at my boyfriend. Women a lot older than us were shouting extremely crude things that honestly made my blood boil. Dominic was a man, not a fucking piece of meat… and if he was a piece of meat then he was my piece of meat and I didn't share my food, so these slappers best be backing the fuck off!
"You looked pissed, bumble bee."
I was still holding onto Alannah's hand as I looked to my left and up at Kane's marred yet stunning face. "Because I am pissed," I said over the noise of the ongoing crude remarks directed at my boyfriend. I looked to the crowd of pulsing vaginas and growled, "They are disgustin'!"
Kane put his arm around my shoulder and chuckled. "He only has eyes for you, no if, and, or but about it. Only you."
I looked at Kane and smiled, and I put my free arm around him and squeezed. "You know, I kind of love you."
Kane's eyes widened for a moment as he looked at me. He gave me a squeeze before he said, "Yeah? Well, I think I kind of love you too, bumble bee."
I playfully rolled my eyes at the nickname he came up with last week after deciding Bee was too short and not interesting. He added the bumble onto my nickname and has thought him Albert Einstein since that day. He told everyone to call me that, but anyone who called me Bee still called me that while Kane was the only one who added on the bumble. It's beyond adorable, and I'd never tell him it, but I secretly loved it.
I looked away from Kane and back to the platform Dominic was up on and chewed on my lip, then screamed when the man he was fighting suddenly speared Dominic to the ground. I could hear his back slap off the ground from where I stood. I pushed away from Branna and Alannah and made a beeline for the platform. I pushed through the crowd of people while screaming for the fight to be stopped; it wasn't stopped though, if anything, Dominic losing the upper hand was getting people more pumped and hyper.
