"...I'll fucking smash your face in the wall until you can't even recognize yourself" The familiar voice boomed again and it felt like the world stopped for a moment. Everyone stopped and a murmur followed.

My gaze traced the voice in the room full of so many people and it fell on Kent. He was standing firmly with his legs apart and his hand in his black jacket pocket; his face dark and hard with his unyielding jaw.

Max was also standing right beside him, he looked so pissed. No wonder Kent got to know where I was. He told Kent.

My mouth fell open as shock gripped my whole body. Maybe Landon too was shocked, that was why I suddenly couldn't feel his hands on me anymore.

A small gasp escaped his mouth and for a second I thought he was really scared of Kent.

Kent slowly began to walk to where I was standing with Emma and Landon, his whole body was rigid as he walked. His body and eyes spoke fire and trouble and that really scared me, not just me but everyone in the room.

It felt like I was seeing someone else walking towards me, someone I had never met. The Kent that I had come to know in the past few days, sure knew how to loose his temper in a blink of an eye.

He finally stopped in front of us and then faced Landon himself. Landon only adjusted his shoulder like he was ready to beat the hell out of Kent.

I didn't think I was ready to know what was about to go down. Landon had his friends around but Kent only had Max which amounted to no one at all. Max loved to stay out of trouble. He preferred his handsome face to some stupid fights.

"Try and stop her again and I'll let everyone here watch me drag your fucking ass around every block in town before I shove your head into it"

Landon was smirking at him, not saying a word but he just couldn't touch me anymore. He didn't Dare to. Did it mean that he was scared of what Kent might do to him? I wondered.

They both exchanged long angry glares before Kent finally turned to me. Max grabbed Emma from me while Kent pulled me by the hand and we all walked out.

"What the fuck were you thinking, coming over to this party?" Kent yelled when we got outside. "I called your phone so many times" I brought out my phone and I checked. I had 12 missed calls already. How come I didn't know?

"I didn't know you were going to call me after everything" I replied. I waited for him to call me all through the day but he never did. Why was he mad now? Why would he even think I would pick his call after he treated me like I meant nothing to him.

I should be the one mad at him for talking rudely to me earlier on. I wondered what the hell was his problem.

"Seriously?" He said his eyes roaming my body. "What the fuck are you even wearing Alex?" I took a look at myself but I didn't bother to answer him anyway, because he was yelling his lungs away. Besides, I didn't think whatever I wear to parties should be his problem, no matter how uncomfortable it might be for him.

"Dude stop yelling at my sister" Max cautioned as he tried to hold on to a drunk Emma. She was laughing and screaming the whole time. I was surprised she could even smile at Max as she played with his face. She probably thought she was seeing him for the first time. I loved the drunk Emma right now.

"Maybe you should tell your girlfriend to stop dragging my girlfriend into her mess" Kent was still yelling, Emma wasn't even dating Max. But one would think they were actually dating with the way Emma was snaking her arms around Max's neck. I had never seen them both like that.

"Well...she's not my girlfriend" Max corrected, his tone very low as he looked at Emma with his dreamy eyes.

"Well then, just tell her to stay away from Emma. She's not a good influence obviously..." What? Why would he even think Emma was not a good influence?

What the hell was wrong with him? Emma had been my friend for so many years and I had never for once thought she wasn't a good influence.

I felt I had already had enough of him for a whole day. I wouldn't let him talk to my best friend like that.

"Why would you... " I started to talk but Emma jumped in...

"Did you just say I'm not a good influence?" She was clearly drunk but not out of her mind. She pushed Max away from her, assuring she could stand on her own.

"Are you? Why did you bring her here when you can't watch out for her. You had to be the one she's watching out for..."

Emma laughed as she clapped her hands along, leaving everyone of us short of words. Was she really out of her mind?

"Wow! Aren't you the sweetest boyfriend on earth?" She said in an innocent voice as she staggered towards Kent. "Now you're playing the world's best boyfriend. You think you can give me a fucking lecture about what to do and where to go with my bestie when everyone knows you're the most selfish and most careless person on earth." I wished I could somehow tell Emma to stop but she seemed too pissed. She was really pissed. I wouldn't blame her, my boyfriend just didn't know when to stop pushing it.

"...The only thing you do is make her cry... and moody...and worried... And now you want to take her from me..."

Kent looked over to me and then back at Emma who was still talking non-stop. A part of me that knew Emma was right made me even angrier at Kent and with everything that he said about Emma, I didn't think I wanted to forgive him just yet.

He had really made things worse just by saying all that about my best friend. Emma would never stand and watch anyone say that I was a bad influence on her. Not even Kim.

Emma moved closer enough to Kent and then looked him straight in the eyes before saying "...You can't..." And then she passed out, her head resting on Kent's chest. Max quickly grabbed her by the waist before she could fall to the ground.

Kent heaved a deep sigh, his features full of remorse. I guess he was starting to wish he had not said what he said to Emma. The fact that he was angry at the world didn't mean he could go around saying shits to people or threatening to beat them up.

"Let's get her into my car" Kent said. He probably thought that would fix everything or makeup for everything.

"No" I immediately declined his offer. I wasn't about to make him feel good about everything. He needed to know things aren't cool yet and I was really mad at him for everything. "I'll drive her home in her car"

I looked over to Max who was holding on to Emma so tight and I told him "let's go Max" He carried Emma bridal style in his arms and we went away, leaving Kent all by himself.

I think we needed some space.
