Brian froze and looked over my shoulder. He didn't recognize him. How could he? They never met before.

"I said get your hands off my fucking wife." Bob repeats louder this time, stepping forward towards us.

Okay I'll admit this looks bad. I mean Crystals fully dressed, so is Lia. And I'm standing here in my underwear and a tube top dressed like a fucking whore and Brian is stuffing a dollar in my underwear...

"Nooo." I say stepping in front of Bob and blocking Brian. He was gonna kill him. Fuck. "Bob stop!" I yell and he turned his attention on to me.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing Elle?!" He yells at me looking me over.

"I wasn't..." I stammer.

"Wait you're married?" Brian interrupts. I shut my eyes for a second. This is not happening... I feel Bob stepping around me and I grab on to him.

"Bob no!" I yell gripping on to him.

"Who the fuck are you?" Bob starts yelling. Brian said something back. Bob tried to step around me again. I grabbed Bob tighter and tried to pull him away. Crystal grabbed Brian's arm...it was chaos. Jimmy flipped out and came around from the behind the bar.

'Take it outside' He tells them. Brian tossed his hands up in the air like whatever as Crystal let him go. Bob smirked.

"Lia do something!" I yell and she sighs. She leans over and says something to Crystal, then Crystal grabbed Brian's arm and they walked out.

Bob was yelling at me this whole time. I couldn't make out a word he was saying... Something about him taking me home.

"No I'm going with Lia." I say and she smiles. My jeans were still up on the stage. I took a step towards them and Bob grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back towards him.

"I hate to do this Elle, but you leave me no choice." He says grabbing me and tossing me over his shoulder and carrying me out.

"Put me down! Fuck Bob!" I yelled and banged on his shoulder. I tried to wriggle away but he was too strong. It was so fucking cold out too. And I was practically naked. Bob tossed me in to the front seat of his car and reached over and fastened the seatbelt on me. "Holy shit." I said shaking, my teeth chattering a little. Bob took off his jacket and covered me with it like a blanket. It was still warm with his body heat. I pulled my knees up and snuggled up under it.

"Ok take it easy Bob." Lia tells him. "What the fuck are you even doing here anyway?" She says and he smirks.

"I came for you Lia." He says and she rolls her eyes a little.

"I told you I don't need you looking out for me Bob." She says nastily to him as I look around the lot. Jay's car was gone. Brian must've drove it off. Crystal was still standing by the hood of Lias car, waiting for her I guess... I look back at Lia and Bob. "We broke up. Its over." She says and he shakes his head.

"So that means I shouldn't care about you?" He says and the strangest feeling comes over me. "I told you as long as you come here I'm gonna be watching your back Lia." Holy shit. I get it now. Bobs not in love with Lia, just like Gerard's not in love with Jessica. But he can't sit back and watch her get hurt...

"Well don't." She snaps at him. "I don't need you watching out for me, I'm a big girl Bob." She laughs. "I'm gonna live my life the way I want and I don't need your permission to strip and neither does Elle." She tells him waving her hands around a little.

Bob looked over at me like is that what you want. I shook my head a little. "I wasn't stripping." I mumble.

"Are you coming Elle?" Lia says nodding at me a little. I shake my head no.

"Actually I'm gonna go with Bob Lia." I say softly. Pulling his coat closer to my neck as the wind blew. She smiled a little tossing my purse onto the floor in the front seat of the car.

"I'm not surprised." Lia laughed a little.

"What's so funny about me going with Bob?" I ask her and she smirks a little.

"I should've known." She says giving me a funny look as she took a step back. "I mean I did know... at least I thought I knew... but now I see I did know." She babbles on.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I call out to her. She was shaking her head walking backwards towards Crystal.

She tossed her hands in the air. "You'll figure it out!" She laughs and leans over and says something to Crystal. They both giggle and then get into her car before driving off.
"What was that all about?" I say to Bob as he gets into the car. He just looked at me blankly.

"Elle I can not even speak to you right now." He says starting the car up.

"I wasn't stripping Bob." I say very seriously to him.

"Elle!" He cries out giving me this wide-eyed stare.

"I know look like I was, but I wasn't I swear." I say and he shakes his head a little.

"What the fuck were you thinking?" He tells me and I look out the window. "You're lucky
I caught you and not Gerard." He says and I frown.

"I don't think he'd care as much as you'd think." I say softly. Bob snickered a little. "We broke up Bob." I say loudly turning back and facing him as he drove.

"What?" He gasped a little.

"He still loves Jessica." I said sniffling again. Fuck... don't start crying again Elle...

"He told you that?" Bob said in disbelief.

"He told her... I heard him." I said and Bob frowned.

"Wait you were eavesdropping Elle?" Bob said and I looked out the window. He chuckled a little. "I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding." He says and I shake my head no. "Well what did he say when you asked him?" He says and I looked at him blankly. "You did ask him Elle..." Bob says roughly.

"Yeah but.. he didn't say anything...I just took off." I say remembering what happened. How I really didnt let him say anything. I just took off... I left him holding my keys... "Aw fuck Bob I don't have my keys!" I cry out banging my hand on the dashboard.

"Huh?" He says looking over.

"I fucking went to Lia's to get my spare key... fuck!" I yell out and he sighs.

"Well you'll just have to come home with me then." He shrugs.

"Bob!" I laugh lifting his jacket off me a little. "What's your mom gonna think? Its 2:30 in
the morning and I'm dressed like a whore!" I say and he smiles looking over at me.

"She's working nights at the hospital now Elle...she's not even home." He tells me and I pull the jacket back up a little. "Don't worry I'll get you something less whore like to wear." He laughs as we pull up in front of his house.

I ran inside and upstairs into his room and jumped in his bed and pulled the blankets over me. I was so fucking cold I thought I was going to die.

"Uh do you want..." He looked over at me holding a pair of sweatpants up.

"No I'm fine like this." I said snuggling up under the blankets. He just stood there looking at me.

"Um I'm gonna go crash on the couch." He says taking a step back.

"Why?" I ask him a little confused. He just looked at me.

"No I'll go." I said getting up.

"No stay." He insists.

"Only if you stay too." I pout. "I don't want to be putting you out Bob." I say and he makes a face but hesitantly sits on the bed next to me.

He had a small twin sized bed. It was pushed up against the wall. I crawled back under the blankets and laid down on my stomach as close to the wall as I could and looked over at him. He was sitting at the edge of the bed still. It seemed like he was thinking about something pretty hard. Maybe he was praying. I don't know. He took a deep breath and pulled his shirt over his head and laid down next to me. He laid down on his back and stretched his arms over his head. I could see all the muscles in his chest move as he stretched his arms back.

"You guys are gonna work this out." He blurts out a little unexpectedly. I'm not sure if he was trying to convince me or himself...

"I just don't know." I sigh.

"No trust me Elle... he loves you." He says shutting his eyes. Its at this point I realize I can still see him. The light is out and I can see him...

"You have a nightlight?" I say lifting my head up a little.

"Oh fuck." He mumbles.

"mmm me too." I pressing my head back down into the pillow.

"You're not gonna tell anyone are ya?" He laughed softly.

"No " I said laughing a little.

"Elle" he said a little firmer.

"Cross my heart." I said rolling over a little and putting my hand on his bare chest. Right on his heart. I draw a little x with my finger on his skin. "well cross your heart I mean." I laugh. He reaches up and puts his hand on top of mine on his chest. "I love you Bob" I sigh a little shutting my eyes.

"What?" he coughs a little sitting upright. My hand fell into his lap. He lifted it off him and tugged on the blanket a little.

"You all right?" I say opening my eyes. He nodded and laid back down.

"Uh yeah." He says tugging the blanket a little more.

"Good cause I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. You're my best friend Bob." I say snuggling up next to him. I can feel his skin on mine since I was only wearing that tiny tube top. He was so warm to. I pressed my self closer to him and shut my eyes.

"Best friend?" He chuckles.

"well yeah." I say reaching over and wrapping my arm around him. He shifted a little.

"Since when?" He says teasing me a little.

"Since the accident... You were promoted." I giggle.

"Oh I was promoted?" He laughs lightly.

"yeah when you said you didn't like me... that's when I knew," I try to explain.

"Wait I say I don't like you and that gets me promoted?" He says sitting up a little. I pull him back down.

"Yeah cause." I pause and yawn. "umm cause since I know you don't like me I know that all we'll ever be is friends." I say and he doesn't answer. "You'll never know how much that means to me Bob, to know that there's someone out there who likes me for me and just doesn't see me as a piece of ass." I say and he still doesn't say anything...maybe he fell asleep... It was silent for a long time.

I was almost asleep when I felt him take my hand off his chest again. He reached over and brushed the hair from my face. I could hear his voice. It was barely a whisper but I heard him say it...

"Good night Michelle..."
