THUD!
"Ouch!" Grace yelped as her back hit the stool, wincing in pain. When she glanced to her side, she realized that Ginnie had slid further away from her. "Ginnie!"
"Ugh..." Ginnie winced, touching her throbbing head.
When Aiden pushed Grace, Ginnie instinctively tried to catch her. However, still intoxicated, she barely managed to support Grace. As a result, Ginnie lost her footing and hit her head against the stool, causing her to fall back further.
"Ginnie, are you okay?" Grace asked, despite the pain in her back.
Ginnie peeked at her, smiling wryly. "Yeah. The alcohol just made me a bit dizzy, but I’m generally fine."
As the two assessed their condition, they continued to hear Lily’s voice.
"Stop! Are you insane!? Let me go, I said!" Lily yelled at the top of her lungs, putting all her weight on her feet to slow him down. "Hey! Help me! Can’t you see he is dragging me out of here?! If something happens to me, I’ll sue all of you!"
Lily screamed and yelled, desperately trying to peel his fingers from her wrist. When she looked back and saw Grace and Ginnie sitting on the floor, she clenched her teeth and glared at Aiden’s back.
"You human trash! How dare you hurt my friends?!" she growled, taking a step toward him. She bent over and bit his arm as hard as she could, finally making him stop.
"Ahhh!" Aiden shouted, instinctively looking back. He kept his hold on her, but she bit harder. "Ah, shit!"
This time, he let her go to make her stop biting his arm. He hissed and pulled up his sleeve, grinding his teeth in irritation as he saw a bit of blood from the deep bite marks.
"Ginnie! Grace!" Lily called worriedly, rushing to her friends. She squatted in front of them, darting her eyes between the two. Her face crumpled as tears brimmed in the corners of her eyes. "I’m so sorry! Are you both okay?"
Ginnie and Grace turned to face her, offering her meek but reassuring smiles while nodding.
"Don’t worry," said Grace. "I’m alright."
"Me too. This is nothing compared to the times a ball hit me during practice," Ginnie tried to lighten the mood, lowering her hand from her head.
The moment Ginnie did, Lily’s eyes went wide as she gasped. "Ginnie, you’re bleeding!" Lily reached for Ginnie’s temple but hesitated when she saw blood trickling down. "Oh, no! What are we going to do?"
Grace glanced at Ginnie’s forehead and saw a cut on it. "Ginnie, can you stand? How do you feel?"
"I’m okay," Ginnie said with a shallow laugh, touching her forehead to check before hissing. "It’s just a small cut, and I’m fine."
"Ginnie..." Lily pressed her lips into a thin line, about to help Ginnie up when she felt two pairs of hands grab her shoulders. "Huh?"
Confused, Lily looked to her right and then to her left. The men holding her were strangers, and before she could wonder who they were, she found herself being pulled away from her friends.
"Tch. I didn’t want to do this, but look what you made me do, Lily!" Aiden barked irritably, glaring at her and then at her friends. He hissed at them, scanning the crowd that was watching everything unfold.
’She will behave once it’s just the two of us,’ he told himself. ’If she hears my explanation, she’ll eventually calm down.’
