‘’I’m sorry. I’m not interested.’’ I say as nicely as I can. He ignores what I said grabs my waist, pulling me closer to him. I look around for my friends, and Jeremiah catches my eye. I look at him, pleading for him to help me. I see him starting to make his way over, but there are so many people in his way.  

‘’Come on, girl.’’ He says and gets his face closer tom my neck.  

‘’No!’’ I shout and push him away with all my strength. He stumbles back a little, but even in his drunken state, he doesn’t fall to the ground.  

‘’Really, you brat?’’ He pushes me, and I fall to the ground. I hit my head on a bar stool, then the ground. My vision goes hazy, but I see all the guys go the man, and all the girls fall next to me.

!!Gus’s POV!!

‘’Yo, Gus. Y/n needs us. Some guy is harassing her.’’ Jeremiah shots to me. I hit Kirk and Codi in the arm, telling them to come with us. The girls follow behind us. I get a glimpse of Y/n, and see the man has his hands on her and is close to her neck. Her eyes scream in terror and I try to get to her faster. No one is going to hurt Y/n.  

‘’Excuse me. Excuse us. Watch out, please.’’ I say to the people around us. They give us dirty looks, but my gaze is focused on Y/n. She pushes the man and he stumble back. He gets his composure and goes closer to Y/n. He shoves her, and she falls.  

‘’Oh, heck no!’’ I hear Kirk shout. I start running, so close to where Y/n is. I get to the guy first and I push him.  

‘’What’s up, bro. Pushing girls? Really? Why don’t you try and take on me?’’ I punch him, and a fight breaks out. All of us guys are shoving and hitting whatever we can. The security comes, trying to break us up, but I don’t stop. No one lays a hand on any of our girls. Let alone Y/n.

‘’Gus! We need to leave!’’ I hear Kortni shout behind me. I shrug her off and continue trying to get at the guy.  

‘’Gus, Y/n is unconscious! She’s bleeding pretty bad! We need to go to the hospital!’’ I turn to what Jeremiah is saying. I see Y/n on the ground, her head on Aimee’s leg, that is now covered in blood. I run to her and pick her up.  

‘’Come on. We need to go.!’’ I shout and run out of Tootsies. I ignore the pounding in my head from where I got punched.  

‘’That’s our taxi.’’ Nilsa says. I run to the van and get in, still holding Y/n.  

‘’Kortni, Candace, get in here. Y’all follow us in the other van.’’ I tell them. Kortni and Candace get in and I tell the driver to go.  

!!Y/n’s POV!!

I open my eyes and groan and the bright lights. I blink a few times to focus my vision and I look down to see I’m wearing a hospital gown and I have wires coming out of my arms.  

‘’Hey, Y/n.’’ I turn to the voice and see Gus, then everyone from the house.

‘’How are you feeling?’’ Kortni asks me.

‘’I’ve got a headache. That’s all.’’ I reply.  

‘’The doctor said you could be discharged when you woke up. We’ll go check you out. Candace, can you go get the doctor? Gus, you help Y/n get ready.’’ Says Jeremiah. They leave the room, and Gus stays behind.  

‘’Are you sure you’re okay?’’ He asks. I don’t answer, the memories of what happened come back to me. That guy harassed me. A tear falls from my face, and Gus hugs me.  

‘’I was so scared.’’ I cry into his shoulder.  

‘’I’m so sorry.’’ He kisses my forehead, and we break away a few seconds later when the doctor and Candace in. I look to Gus and see his eyes are red. He was crying with me.

‘’Everything looks good. I’ll just take out these wires, then you can leave. Your friends have checked you out.’’ He takes out the wires, and he smiles before leaving the room.  

‘’Gus, would you mind, you know? Y/n is naked under the gown, and we need her to get changed.’’ Candace motions for him to leave.  

‘’No! No. Can you stay? Just turn around or something.’’ I say. He makes me feel safe, and I don’t want to be alone. I know I have Candace, but Gus will keep me calm.

‘’I can stay. Get dressed right over there, and I’ll turn around.’’ Candace helps me stand and we go to the corner. She helps me put on shorts and a shirt.

‘’You’re good, Gus.’’ He turns back around.

‘’You okay with leaving now?’’ He asks. I nod, and we leave the hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We get back to the house, everyone is tired and still a little drunk. It’s four in the morning; we were in the hospital for three hours. Jeremiah helps me up the stairs, even though I tell him I can make it myself. He puts me in my bed and pulls the blankets over me.

‘’Get some rest, Y/n. I’m so sorry that happened to you.’’  

‘’Thanks, Jere.’’ He kisses my forehead before turning of my light and leaving my room. I snuggle into my blankets and feel the tears coming. You read about stories about girls being harassed, but you never think something like that would happen to you.  

‘’Y/n?’’ I hear a voice whisper into the darkness. I turn and see Gus’s face from the light shining in the hallway.

‘’Gus.’’ He can hear the sadness in my voice, and I can hear him coming to me. I open my blanket and he moves in next to me. He is just wearing shorts, no shirt.  

‘’Are you okay?’’ I choke out a sob.

‘’No.’’ He hugs me and shushes me sweetly.  

‘’It’s going to be okay, Y/n. I’m here for you.’’  

‘’Thank you. For everything.’’

‘’Of course, Y/n. I love you.’’ He kisses my cheek.

‘’I love you too.’’ I lay my head on his chest and we fall asleep.

!!Third Person’s POV!!

Kortni and Candace wake up the next morning and see Y/n and Gus sleeping, snuggled into each other.

‘’I don’t see why they just don’t get together already?’’ Candace says.

‘’I know. It’s so obvious they like each other. Who knows? Maybe they’ll get together.’’
