We left the small coffee shop and headed down the street. We stopped at maccas on the way because Amelia refused to let me drink unless I had something substantial to eat.

"So you're making me have this huge meal, while you're just having a small chips? I feel like that's not fair"

"Yea but you're a fully grown male and need a big meal, I on the other hand am full from a small fries"

"But it's almost nothing!"

"Yea but it's maccas, I eat heaps when it's a home cooked meal or Chinese or something"

"Why didn't we get Chinese then?"

"Because there isn't a decent one that's a reasonable price within walking distance, well there is one good one but Becca is working there tonight so..."

"Best friend Becca?" She nodded "you really don't want to see anyone that badly?"

"If I see people that means I have expectations to fill..."

"Can't you just be yourself?"

"I think today is the first time I've felt comfortable enough to be myself in a long time" I smiled down at her to see her looking back up me. I can only imagine how much strain will be on her tonight if she struggles to even be around friends...

"Hey, we don't have to go out tonight if you don't want to"

"No, I want to, I promised, besides it will be fun" she grinned.

We were walking towards a club that her friend Becca forces her to go to sometimes.

"Hey Jaime?" Her voice was quiet and she was looking down as if she was embarrassed.

"Yes?"

"I know this is gonna sound weird and you don't have to, but... Umm, I was wondering if you could do me a favour..."

"Yea sure anything" why does she look so embarrassed?

"Ohh, umm well, I was wondering if you could pretend to be my boyfriend tonight." To say I was shocked was an understatement.

"Um why?"

"Because I don't want anyone to come near me like that tonight, and I know there are some creeps here..."

"Why don't you just say you have a boyfriend? It's not a lie"

"Yea but then they say stuff like 'he'll never know' and 'well he's not here now is he?' And then they get all touchy and creepy an-"

"Ha-ha okay say no more!" I interrupted and drew her close I me and threw my arm around her shoulder "I will make sure that no creepy guys try to hit on you, and if they do, I am you very protective boyfriend" she laughed and I couldn't help but notice how right it felt to be with her like this. No! She has a boyfriend! Don't even think about it!

But she's not pulling away...

We walked the rest of the way to the club in silence, my arm around her shoulder and hers around my waist and I couldn't suppress the smile that was brought to my face. When we got inside i was relieved to find no one looked at us twice, so there were either no Pierce the Veil fans here or they haven't recognised me without my hair.

After a few drinks we were having fun on the dance floor.

"I'll be back in a second, I'm gonna get us another" she yelled over the music lifting her drink. I nodded and she walked to the bar.

I kept watch over her while she ordered drinks, determined to keep my promise but my attention was diverted when someone tugged on my shirt. I look down to see a girl, liking like she was barely 18, staring up at me.

"Jaime Preciado?" Shit. "Oh my god it IS you! Can I get a photo?!"

"Yea sure but only a quick one, I don't want anyone to notice me here. So can you not say anything about this?"

"Of course, I totally understand!" She grinned. She pulled out her phone and we took a selfie before she agreed to let me be anonymous. Thank god, I hope Amelia didn't see that... I look over at her to see her sitting very uncomfortably at the bar with someone getting very close. I go to the bar as quick as I can and put my arms around her shoulders in a protective gesture. She jumped slightly but immediately relaxed when she saw it was me.

"Hey babe, who's this?" I asked gesturing to the man.

"This is Simon, Simon this is my boyfriend that I was telling you about,"

"Him? Please I bet you don't even actually know him!"Simon scoffed.

"Oh really?" I asked, I turned her in her chair to face me, put my hands on either side of her face and kissed her. She was shocked at first, but soon melted into it and began to kiss me back. I pulled away with a smirk. I can't believe I just did that, I can't believe she kissed me back! But all I can think is that I want to do it again.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry mate, it's just that people say that a lot so..."

“Even if she was lying, she obviously didn’t want to get with you so what were you going to do? Force her? Because that’s rape.”

Simon looked incredibly embarrassed. He stood up with his drink and went into the dance floor and began flirting with a girl there.

I look at Amelia and she is just staring at me with her cheeks filling with blood. I moved a strand of her out of her face and smiled at her then watched as a small smile appeared on her face before she looked down into her lap.

"Sorry for not getting here sooner, I didn't keep my promise did I?"

"No, thank you, he was beginning to get touchy... I don't want to know how that would have gone if you didn't show up."

"Well I'm glad I got here in time then"

She was blushing furiously when her phone began to ring. She looked down at the screen and her face fell, all its colour draining away.

"Isaac..."
