Chasing Leah (Journey #1)

“No problem Cassie. It looks awesome in here, you need help with anything else?” Remy asks.

“I think we’re good for now. We might need a little help on some of the bars later if you don’t mind.”

People slowly started to trickle in as the night got later. The dj cranked up the music and Ally and I moved to the dance floor while Skylar joined in on a game of beer pong. We danced along to the music for awhile until the floor started getting a little crowded and hot. I leaned over and shouted in Allys ear over the thumping music, “I’m gonna pee and grab a drink. You need anything?”

“Nope I’m good, I think I’ll head over with Sky for a bit. Meet us over there when you’re done.”

I make my way through the crowd of people and wave when I spot Remy who just walked in with Mark. It looks like Mark came straight from the bands performance, decked out in jeans and a simple shirt but Remy looks cute in a short sequined white dress adorned by a set of angel wings and halo. She looks purely angelic with her creamy white skin and red hair that’s down and loosely curled. I motion that I’m going to the bathroom and head towards the hall where there’s a small line formed.

I lean my hip against the wall as the line inches forward and I’m next in line. Why did it seem like there’s only one bathroom available at these things?

“Hey Leah,” I hear whispered in my ear over my shoulder by a familiar voice. I turn around and look up into the turquoise eyes of Gage. It’s the first time I’ve ran into him since he met Caleb. I tried texting and calling him a few times but none of those were returned. Obviously he was interested in being more than just friends with me but Caleb had halted those ideas. I figured I would probably run into him here since this was the frat house he lived in.

Gage grabs my hips lightly and his eyes roam up and down my body. “Wow you look fuckin’ hot.” He says as he leans in closer to me and I can smell the pungent smell of alcohol already heavy on his breath. I take a step back willing the bathroom door to open. Of course that’s not gonna happen anytime soon.

“Uh thanks Gage. How have you been?”

“Horrible,” he gently pushes me against the wall and places his arms on either side of my body, pinning me in. “I can’t stop thinking about you and your not helping me at all with this outfit on.”

“Well I did try and call you a few times, I was going to explain about Caleb, not that I really need to but…” He interrupts my rambling with a finger to my lips. “Less talking Leah,” he mumbles out through half lidded eyes. He grabs my hand and places it on the bulge near the front of his jeans. “Wanna head up to my room for a little more privacy?” I remove my hand quickly and push my hands against his chest.

“Seriously Gage? I’m not interested in that, especially with you.”

He leans down to kiss me, his hot breath suffocating me as he comes closer and I turn my head right before he touches my lips so he’s left with my cheek.

“C’mon Leah don’t be like that, I know I was turning you on, I can tell you’re a little slut with that kid of yours. Let me take you up to my room, I can show you how much of a man I really am,” he says as he flattens me against the wall, grinding against me and sliding my skirt up as he begins to work his fingers up my thigh.

I slap at his roaming hands but that just seems to get him more excited and even more grabby if that was possible. Apparently the unwilling turn him on. He may be freaking wasted but that doesn’t give him the right to basically try and rape me in the hallway.

“Gage get the fuck off of me,” I silently thank Ally for the pointy heeled boots she picked out for me and stomp the heel into the top of his foot with all my might.

“Oww WHAT THE FUCK LEAH?” He shouts out as he stumbles back against the opposite wall. I bring my knee up to his groin and thrust up between his legs. “Guess you won’t be using that tonight, what a shame.”

He doubles over at the waist, trying to hold himself up against the wall.”You… little… bitch,” he croaks out while he struggles to get up. “Oh and by the way asshole Caleb isn’t my kid, he’s my brother. Not that it matters anyways. I’m pretty you’d have to have sex in the first place to have a kid of your own.” I turn the other way down the hall quickly forgetting my need for the bathroom, I just need to get out of this place.

“Is there a problem here?” I look over and notice Chase standing at the end of the hall, his green eyes flashing with anger. There’s a drop dead gorgeous girl standing beside him with her hands wrapped tightly around his waist. Slutty nurse number two of the night.
