❝ SHE COULD'VE DONE A LOT
WORSE TO YOU SO BE FUCKING
GRATEFUL. ❞

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" reina spat, shoving dylan away harshly. she knew he was drunk, having reeked of alcohol, and his stammered steps as he regained his balance.

"oh c'mon, don't be like that rei-"

"it's reina to you, dickhead," she seethed. "how the hell did you even get in?"

"i have connections," he shrugged, a smug smile on his face. she so desperately wanted to punch it off.

he took a step closer to her, but she took a couple steps back. "no, don't come near me after the shit you pulled."

"oh for fucks sake i said i was sorry!" he yelled, some of the alcohol in his cup spilling since he was gesturing with his hands.

she scoffed. "don't fucking yell at me?!"

"i'll do whatever i want! look, i'm just trying to apologise and you're being a complete bitch about it-"

reina then slapped him as hard as she could, her frustration rising extremely high. his head forcefully turned to the side, almost giving him a whiplash. he stood there shocked, bringing a hand where a red mark was forming on his left side.

"stay away from me and my friends you asshole," she said lowly, her tone threatening.

dylan huffed out a laugh, shaking his head. without warning, he grabbed her shoulders, taking a step forward, making her stumble back at the sudden contact. "or what?"

since she was still wearing her sleeveless halter top, she felt his nails start to dig into her skin from how tight his hold was. she winced, letting out a small 'ouch!'.

"is that fetus freak going to save you?" he provoked, grinning as if it were the funniest thing in the world.

her anger took over, and all logical thinking was thrown out the window. she punched his jaw with as much strength as she could, forcing him to stumble back and fall to the floor. she wasn't able to knock him fully unconscious, but she counted it as a win when she saw slight blood from his mouth.

"fuck you." she shook her hand, looking at her knuckles which started to bruise and ache. she then looked at her shoulders, seeing small moon shaved crevices on her skin.

reina was breathing deeply, but rapidly at the same time. she looked at dylan who laid on the floor, weakly touching his lips and having small amounts of blood on his fingertips from doing so.

no way i just fucking did that.

"you're fucking crazy, you'll regret that," he muttered, groaning afterwards.

suddenly, a figure came up beside her. she looked up to see kayvon had approached her, looking between her and the groaning boy on the floor.

"yo, what the fuck is going on here rei?" he asked, noticing her bruised up knuckles and the boy's bloody mouth.

"he grabbed me and wouldn't leave me alone, so i punched him," she replied.

kayvon raised his brows. the two weren't close at all, but having been around the house a couple times and being one of koosh's friends - and also supplying him medical supplies whenever he got into fights, she was one of the few people besides his family that he actually paid attention to.

the senior walked towards dylan, looking at him in pure disgust. he leaned down slightly, "listen up dawg, one thing we're not gonna do here, is disrespect girls, you hear me? we don't fuck with that shit here, you understand? tell me you understand."

dylan weakly nodded. kayvon huffed out a laugh before getting up and kicking his side, making the boy yell and clutch his side. he then leaned down again, "use your fucking words!"

"i understand! i understand completely man.." he winced.

as reina stood off to the side watching kayvon deal with dylan, she held her bruised knuckles with a frown, using her hair to cover up the marks slightly behind her shoulders.

"rei!"

she turned around, knowing who it was instantly by his voice. her frown deepened, opening her arms for a hug. connor didn't hesitate to walk into her arms. she buried the bottom half of her face into his shoulder.

"you were taking so long, i was worried so i - wait is that fucking dylan?" he asked mid-sentence, looking at dylan who was surrounded by kayvon and his two friends.

"yeah," she sighed, stepping away and showing him her knuckles with a small smile. "i might have, kinda, punched him in the face."

connor's jaw dropped as he took reina's right hand in his, inspecting the developing dark patches with wide and concerned eyes. "you what?!" he looked back up at her, "what the fuck happened?"

after explaining everything, connor was more than furious. he was fucking livid. fortunately, kayvon threw dylan out of the party already (quite literally threw him onto the streets), claiming that he wasn't even invited in the first place.

his jaw clenched. "son of a bitch - he has no right to treat you like that! i swear if i see him-"

reina shook her head. "con i just wanna get out of here. please."

connor made eye contact with reina. he sighed, calming himself down. he still had her right hand in his, and neither planned to let go. "fine, yeah, let's go. eddie's waiting for us."

walking out of the party, connor switched so he was holding her left hand, the hand that wasn't aching, as he led her back to the car.

on the way there, however, the two spotted dylan laid by the curb further away from the car using the hem of his shirt to wipe the small amount of blood away. connor stopped, raising his brows.

he turned to reina with a proud look, "you must've hit him pretty good - man, i wish i was there to see it. why do you always do the badass stuff with me gone?" he sighed jokingly.

reina laughed. "heat of the moment, otherwise i would've totally waited to show it off to you," she said sarcastically.

"well before we go, i have to get my turn. one more bruise won't hurt," he said, letting go of her hand and walking over to the beaten up boy. she didn't even try to stop him, there was no point.

connor didn't hesitate to kick dylan's side harshly, making him roll over and grumble a bunch of curses. "she could've done a lot worse to you so be fucking grateful," he spoke lowly so reina couldn't hear.

walking back to her, he now had a satisfied smile on his face. "now we can go."

reina rolled her eyes, but smiled nevertheless. they walked back to the car, but as connor got into the driver's seat, the two weren't expecting eddie sat in the passenger seat, and they really weren't expecting the other girl sat in the backseat.

connor frantically looked at eddie for an explanation. "what the - why is katrina here?! i leave you for five minutes and katrina aurienna is in the backseat?!"

reina stood by connor's rolled down window, looking at the chaos inside. after everything that happened, she didn't expect more chaos inside the car.

"i cannot believe the katrina aurienna is in the backseat," she gaped, running a hand down her face. "dude how?!"

"her friends thought the car was her uber! they just got in and i couldn't stop them!" eddie panicked.

"well why didn't you lock the doors?!" reina asked.

"or drive away?!"

"i didn't - they - guys i just fucking panicked! before i could get into the drivers seat she was already inside!" he explained.

katrina stopped drinking the beer in her hand. "hey, do you have an iphone charger?" she asked them, clearly wasted.

"we're not your uber," connor shook his head.

"yuh huh," she pointed to herself. "for katrina."

eddie shrugged. "maybe we should just take her home?"

"we have no idea where she lives!"

"where do you live?" eddie asked.

"taco bell," she smiled. reina face palmed.

connor rolled his eyes. "you don't live at a taco bell."

"yeah, i do, i've lived there for like, ever, so you don't know me - so how do you even know?"

the three shared a look. "what?"

"just take me home or i'll hit you with freaking one star," she 'threatened', making reina giggle to herself.

connor shrugged. "go for it, i'm not an uber."

"'i'm not your uber'," katrina mimicked. "there goes a star."

reina laughed, finding this surprisingly entertaining. "con this is terrible for your rating."

"don't make her think i'm an actual uber!"

eddie intervened. "uh, okay, now katrina-"

"no more chitchat. it's music time," she cut him off, playing her music. "fuck yes, bitch! yo," she looked at eddie and gave her phone to him. "film this shit!"

whilst katrina was singing along and practically scaring connor and eddie with her weird head movements and aggressiveness, reina had a hand over her mouth in shock. what the fuck is my life?

"drive!" katrina shouted loudly, making all three teens wince.

"rei, get in," connor said.

reina rapidly shook her head. "nope. no way. i'm not getting in next to katrina."

"why? just get in-"

"no! she's wasted and if she throws up i'll literally kill myself, i can't handle that," she threw her hands up in defence.

"well we can't just leave you here!" connor argued, moving closer to the window.

"con it's fine, i'll just follow you guys with katrina's actual uber," she pointed to the other tesla not far behind.

"but-"

"i'll be fine. i can handle myself, remember?" she grinned, bringing her left hand up to him again. he took her hand and held it again, running his thumb over the area just below her knuckles. he made a mental note to wrap it later.

connor furrowed his brows in thought. he knew that she absolutely hated seeing people throw up or the smell of it, so he understood why she wouldn't want to come inside. but on the other hand, he didn't want to leave her.

"drive already!" katrina shouted again.

reina gave him a reassuring smile. "i'll even stay on call with you during the car ride. it'll be fine, i promise."

connor sighed in defeat, reluctantly letting go of her hand. "fine, you're right. i know you can handle yourself. but before you go," he quickly retrieved his blue denim jacket, the one with the soft fabric inside and additional hood, and handed it to her. "here."

she grabbed the jacket and immediately put it on, the sleeves being slightly longer as it went a little bit past her waist. his familiar scent of cologne hit her, and she smiled brightly.

just then, she decided to do something that shocked them both. just before connor drove off, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before speed walking to the other car.

it took another shout from katrina for him to snap out of his daze. he looked at eddie who was staring at him with the biggest grin ever.

connor lightly hit the steering wheel in excitement. "and i'm back in the game!"
