As the night progressed, Jake made it on that stage at least three more times. He stumbled into the men’s room, one hand covering his eye. He was having a great time, the music was great, and the karaoke was fun. Only one problem, in the middle of dancing with Cara, he lost a contact. One eye down, and blind as a bat, he hoped he’d be able to find his dick to take a piss. There were two guys standing at the urinals, with their backs towards Jake. Jake shrugged and decided to flush his eye out at the sink, while he waited his turn.
“Did you see that Cara girl dancing?” Asked one asshole to another. Jake’s antenna’s shot up at the mention of Cara, and shut the water off. How did they know her name? Oh, that’s right asshole. You introduced her to the entire bar.
“Now, that’s a nice piece of ass. Wouldn’t mind, getting a piece of that.” Said asshole number two.
Oh really? Jake turned to the two schmucks, having a pissing contest. He stalked over to them, one eye shut. Before asshole number one could reply, Jake grabbed them both by the back of their heads, and slammed their faces into the walls of the urinals.
“What the fuck?” Asshole number one said as he grabbed his nose, that was gushing blood. They both turned around to face Jake. That’s when Jake grabbed their heads again and banged them into each other’s. Both assholes fell to the floor. No one talked shit about his Cara and got away with it. Cracking his knuckles, he turned and strode out of the bathroom.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he spotted Cara, waiting outside in the hallway for him. He smiled at her. “Come on, we got to go.”
“Why?” She asked, and he grabbed her hand. “We’re having such a good time. I don’t want to leave yet.”
“Oh trust me, we have to.” He covered his eye with his free hand and hurried back towards their table.
When Jake made his way blindly, to their table, Sam and Nick were going back and forth about some sort of nonsense, but he had to give it to his friend, he managed to get her to sit on his lap. He rolled his good eye and patted Nick on the back. “Time to go, lover boy.”
Nick looked up at him hazily. Oh man, he didn’t have time for this. In about ten seconds, all hell would break loose when those two jerkoffs crawled out of the bathroom, looking for him. “Come on. Sam get off his lap. We got to go.” His sister heard the urgency in his voice, used to his shit by now, and scrambled off of Nick’s lap.
“What did you do?” Sam asked him, before turning to Cara. “What did he do?”
“Oh for the love of God, can we just get out of here.” Jake said, exasperated.
“What happened to your eye?” Nick asked, as he threw some money on the table and grabbed the car keys from his pocket. At least he was moving, quickly.
“I lost my contact. Shit. Where is Luke? I can’t fucking see guys, can you help me out. We need to get Luke and get the fuck out of here.”
Nick rubbed his face and let out a strangled breath. He handed Sam the keys. “Here, take him out of here, I’ll go find Luke.”
“There he is!” Jake heard asshole number two shout.
“Ah, shit! Come on Jake!” Nick said when he looked at the two bloody men stalk through the crowd.
Cara and Sam followed Nick’s gaze. Cara eyes widened. “What the hell did you do?” She asked him.
He looked at her sheepishly with one eye. “Can we talk about this later? I’m about to get my ass kicked.”
“Get him out of here.” Nick told Sam. “And bring the car around, I’ll be right there.”
Sam nodded and grabbed Jake, pulling him through the crowd, with Cara, right behind them.
Nick moved through the crowd, keeping a watchful eye on the two bloody messes that were in search for Jake. That kid had some anger issues; either that or he was just bat shit crazy. He spotted Luke at the bar, talking to some girl. He walked over, and stood beside him, his back against the bar, so he could still keep an eye on the two guys hunting Jake. “Luke, we have to go, wrap it up.” Nick said, feeling sorry he had to cut Luke’s fun short.
“Nick, I’m kind of busy here.”
“I get that, but your one eyed brother beat the shit out of two guys in the bathroom.”
“Damn it, Jake!” Luke muttered, slamming his fist against the bar. Nick rolled his eyes, at least he knew where Jake got it from. Luke bid his farewell to the girl.
Sam pulled up directly in front of the entrance to the bar, and waited for Nick and Luke. She tore her eyes from the door, she was watching so closely, to sneak a glance at her brother through the rearview mirror. “Are you going to tell us what happened?” She asked shortly.
“In a minute,” Jake said, clutching his chest with his free hand. He felt like someone sucking all the air out of him.
“What’s the matter?” Asked Cara, noticing he was obviously in discomfort.
