CHAPTER 40 - THE CLUB PART 2

Olivia’s POV

“You don’t have to behave like a slut”

I can’t believe what he just said, It takes me a few seconds to process it and all I can say is- “Classy

Raphael”

I walk to the door and Raphael blocks it with his studying person. He is looking tired like he has been

working too much. My heart is aching seeing him this way, but I have to stop myself from caring.

“Move”

“No”

“Get the fuck away from me” – I manage to say trying to avoid the spillage of tears that formed in my

eyes.

“I can’t” – He says taking my hand into his

“Great” – I let out while I move away from him and start nervously walking around in the bathroom.

“You lost weight” – he says and it takes me by surprise, I did lose some weight but nothing major,

nothing people would notice, but he did, he noticed that I have been trying to change myself to feel

better about the break-up. I know I shouldn’t do it, but I needed to feel better about me again.

“Yeah and?”

“Why?” – he asks me moving his eyes up and down my body

“None of your business, you have no right to ask me anything”

“Olivia” – When he says my name I stop breathing and I put my arm between us while he moves, I

can’t have him close, I am about to lose it. My hand touches his body and I can feel the warmth coming

from him. Fuck me how I miss this men.

“Don’t get any closer – I let out after being able to breathe again

“Olivia, please”

“No, Raphael, I don’t want to hear it, let me out”

“Olivia”

“NO, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING” – I shout for the first time allowing my frustration to take over.

“Sorry”

I walk past him and leave the bathroom. I can feel the tears running down my face and I quickly clean

them with the back of my hand and walk back to my group of friends.

“Hey you okay?” – John asks

“Yeah, I need a drink” – I say and almost instantly he puts a glass of vodka with coke on my hand. I

drink it fast and when I finish I grab his own drink and I down it.

I can feel his eyes on me, I look around and there he is, he’s in the VIP area just looking at me. My

eyes meet his and I turn around and I start paying attention to the conversation surrounding me.

“I’m going to the bar” – I shout near John’s ear and he nods his head – “Do you want anything?”

“Get me vodka Redbull please”

“Okay” – I say and start walking towards the bar, there’s a lot of people waiting to be served so I

support my body against the bar and take a deep breath while I wait to be served

“What can I get you gorgeous?” – I hear the barmen asking

“Hi, can I have a vodka with Redbull and a vodka with 7up please?”

“Sure Lovely”

I blush with the way the lovely British barmen is talking to me, it’s been a while since someone called

me gorgeous.

“Here you go, It’s on me”

“Oh, thank you” – I say while I grab the glasses and he passes me a piece of paper with his phone

number.

“If you to grab a cup of coffee” – he says and I smile at the beautiful men.

I walk towards our table and pass John his glass.

“I’m gonna dance” – I say grabbing my glass and walking towards the dance floor.

Titanium is playing and I kind of identify myself with that song, so I allow my mind to go blank and my

body to move according to the rhythm.

Not long after I feel hands grabbing me from behind. I don’t want to turn around because I will be

disappointed not seeing Raphael dancing behind me rubbing his perfect body against me.

I finish my drink and I keep dancing.

I am feeling a little dizzy, I think the alcohol is taking a toll on me. I move my body away from the guy ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

that was dancing behind me and I walk very tipsily towards our table.

John sees me and grabs me right before I fall.

“I think it’s time to leave” – he says

“Just another drink”

“No babe, you had enough” – John says

“Okay, I just need a couple of seconds”

I grab my phone and I do what everyone tells you not to do when you are drunk. I am getting ready to

drunk text when John takes my phone away from me shaking his head.

“You’re no fun” – I say while a hiccup takes me by surprise and I laugh at the feeling.

"Here, put my jacket on, it's cold outside" - he says

"Thanks" - I say taking it from him and just throwing it on top of my shoulders.

We start walking outside and that’s when I got sober. I hear shots fired and I panic. My first reaction is

to look at the VIP area and I see Raphael looking around, I know he is looking for me, he has his gun in

his hand. Everyone is running and screaming.

John pushes me outside and we hear another shot fired. We throw ourselves behind a car and cover

our heads with our hands

“Fuck” – John says

“Give me my phone” – I say

“Not now Olivia”

“I said fucking give me my phone John”

He gives me my phone and I look through the contacts and I find it, Raphael’s contact, I knew it by

heart but I still had it saved on my phone.

I changed phone numbers, and I know he would be able to find me, but I needed to do something.

I start calling Raphael and he doesn’t answer.

“Shit” – I let out

People are still running outside screaming, and I can hear sirens getting closer.

“It’s me” – I message Raphael and not a second later my phone rings and it is him.

“Olivia, where are you?”

“Raph, are you okay?”

“Olivia, Olivia where are you?”

“I am okay, I am outside”

“Olivia, fuck, where are you?”

“I am outsi...”

I don’t finish the sentence and I can hear him again with urgency

“Olivia, I can’t hear you”

Shit I murmur, so I hung up and stat typing a text

“I am okay, I am outside behind a red car, I am on the floor, are you okay?”

“I need you to run Olivia” – he texts back

“I can’t” – I say admitting to myself how scared I was.

“Olivia, fucking run, go somewhere safe, I will find you later”

“Okay” – I reply looking around to see what would be the safest way to run.

“John, come with me” – I say but he doesn’t answer me.

I look at him laying on the floor next to me and his eyes are closed. I can see blood coming out of him

and I scream.

“John, John wake up please” – I say while I put pressure on his ribs.

He opens his brown eyes but I can see he is not okay. He is shaking and pale.

I stand up and look around and I see the paramedics.

“Please HELP, HELP” – I screamed and a blonde girl comes closer to us and tells me to move so they

can take care of him.

They start taking care of John and then put him on a stretcher and take him to the ambulance. I just

follow them holding his jacket in my bloody hands.

“Miss are you okay?” – another paramedic asks

I nod my head and I get into the ambulance taking John to the hospital.

Everything was a blur, I can feel them taking care of me, as I have scratches on my knees from falling

on the floor.

We arrive at the hospital and I just sit there, in the waiting room they took me to so I could wait for John

to come out of surgery.

I don0t know how long it was until a nurse comes to talk to me

“Miss, are you related to John?”

“He is my best friend” – I say with tears falling down my face

“Are you able to contact his family?”

“Yes” – I say grabbing his phone from the pocket of his jacket and putting on the password to call his

mother.

It was the most horrible thing I have ever done. When I finish I look at my hands and I see the dry blood

again and I start to panic, with that I can feel a strong pair of arms wrapping my body.

“Raphael”
