Craig's POV:

I sat at the bar, taking a sip of booze as I waited for Brock to return from the bathroom. He had invited me to the club where Brian had worked at the time, claiming it was pretty good. As I was about to order another drink, I felt a hand on my back. Thinking it was Brock, I turned around to welcome him back and offer to go dance but when I turned I saw that it was a stranger. This man was clearly drunk off his ass. His breath reeked of vodka and his motions were off balance.

He hiccuped, waving over the bartender who served him two shots. The man slid one toward me. I eyed the drink hesitantly. "Awe, c'mon," the tall man slurred, "drink it, loosen up babe." I felt a chill go down my spine as his hand slowly slid down to the small of my back, just resting above my hips.

I shot glances to where the bathroom was, hoping that Brock would return soon. The tall stranger picked up my shot and forcefully grabbed my chin, pouring the liquid into my mouth. I pushed him off me, coughing as the alcohol stung my throat. "What the hell?!" I exclaimed, standing up off my stool.

There was an arm placed around my shoulder and I nearly jumped out of my skin, fearing that this man had assailants. "Is there a problem?" A familiar voice questioned. It was Brian. I knew that he was the bouncer at this club but I had no idea he was here. Apparently he spends his off time at the place where he works.

The tall stranger started to seem upset, his drunken smile turning to a displeased grimace. "There's no problem," He lied through his teeth, "now shoo, the blonde and I were about to get outa here." He made eyes at me and I scowled at him, weirded out by his actions.

"Like hell." Brian scoffed, standing up taller and puffing out his chest to seem bigger. The two were sizing each other up as if getting ready to fight. "How about you get your shit together and leave." Brian said, his tone calm yet still threatening.

"Fuck-fuck you. You can't make me!" He slurred, spitting in Brian's face.

"Actually I can. I'm the bouncer here." Brain hissed.

The tall stranger laughed. "You're a fucking bouncer? You must be joking! You're so small!" He hiccuped through his laughter. By now a crowd had started to accumulate, watching the scene unfold.

Brain grabbed the man by his shoulders and brought him down, digging his knee into the intoxicated strangers stomach. "Are you gonna leave before I call for back up and have them drag you out of here? I mean, I'd do it myself but lucky for you, I'm off duty."

The now kneeling man coughed, attempting to get up. He wobbled as he stood, using the bar stools to keep balance. He turned toward the exit with one last angry glance at Brian and I before stumbling out of the club and disappearing into the night.

Brian turned to me with a sigh. "Are you alright?" He questioned, sitting at the bar and flagging down the bartender.

I sat next to him. "Yup, thanks for that by the way. He was totally fucking creepy." I laughed, shaking my head as I watched the bartender serve Brian a glass of clear liquor.

"Oh hey Brian." A voice said and the two of us looked over at Brock who approached us, sitting besides me.

Brian smiled and returned the greeting, "hey, Moo Snuckle." He smirked, teasing Brock.

"Oh shove it!" Brock laughed and draped his arm over my shoulder, "so what did I miss?" He asked.

"Not much," I said, "just some guy trying to get my pants," I laughed, "but Brian fucking nailed him, it was great. You totally should've seen it." I saw Brock's eyes quickly flicker up to Brian who was finishing off his drink before looking back at me.

"Are you alright? That guy didn't touch you did he?" I could tell that Brock was worried for my well being and flashed him a smile.

"I'm fine, he didn't really do anything." I reassured him.

"If your sure," Brock said, pulling me into his side. I could feel Brian look at us and froze, suddenly being under Brock's arm felt... I don't know. It felt odd, maybe, as if I didn't belong there.
