Throwing open doors to check inside for Abeo, I went from one to the other as I desperately searched for him. He was in no state of mind to do anything right now. The best thing for him now would be to go home and as much as I hate to have to take care of him, it was me who got him drunk in the first place so I had to take responsibility and get him home safely.
"What the fuck! Close the door, you creep!" A girl screamed at me as I kicked open a door to see her getting it on with a guy.
"Have a good time," I muttered and moved to the next door.
I had searched the whole dance floor for him and even gone outside twice to see if he just wanted some air but there was no sign of him.
The humongous underground warehouse seemed to me like an endless labyrinth with rooms on the side.
After witnessing a few live porno action, I bumped into Nova's massive back having not noticed him.
He turned back and I groaned, realizing it was him. "Sorry," I said brusquely and then attempted to brush past him but a warm hand curled around my wrist and I looked back at him. "What?"
He fumbled for his device, hurriedly typing what he wanted to say. "Why are you following me? First out there at the back and now here."
"Who the fuck wants to follow you?" I scoffed. "I'm just looking for Abeo. That idiot has wandered off somewhere and I can't find him," I looked around for him but had no luck then I glanced at Nova again. "Not that you care, with that bad blood going on between you two about whatever."
"What? You can't find him? Have you looked everywhere?"
"Of course. Basically turned the place inside out to search for him."
An unexpected worry crossed his features, surprising me. "I'll help you look for him."
"You...don't have to."
"I will look for him. You can help or not, as you wish." His face conveyed his determination that the electronic voice for him didn't.
"Jeez, okay fine," I said and couldn't help but say, "Sounds like someone has a crush on him."
He looked at me with wide eyes. "How do you know about my sexuality? Did Abeo tell you that?"
"No. He doesn't talk a lot about you, except to tell me how much he hates you."
"That still didn't answer my question."
"I don't assume anyone's sexuality," I said. "So are you gay or bisexual?" I asked then when I saw he looked uncomfortable and guarded, I added, "-if you don't mind me asking?"
"Bi. Now can we please look for him?"
I nodded. "Alright. Let's split."
We went in opposite directions. I again checked the same rooms, some locked and some not, was met with the same people who yelled the same colourful words at me but now they were just in different positions. They could've just locked the door so they wouldn't be disturbed but no, they were too horny and impatient to do that.
A few minutes later I came upon a door which was slightly ajar and remembered I had skipped it because it was so sounded so quiet inside that I didn't think anyone was there.
Pushing it open, I was immediately bathed in the darkness. I flicked on the light switch and almost jumped back when I saw a girl, her dress pushed up to her chest and was naked from the waist down straddling a guy whose face I couldn't quite see because of her wide eyes and shocked face.
"What the hell are you doing? Get out!" She screeched, trying to cover herself.
I didn't do as she told me to, instead nearing her and trying to get a look at the person underneath her because he seemed very familiar.
"Abeo," I said, a little shocked then sighed in relief. "Jesus, you made me look for you for so long and you're here getting it on with this girl," I chuckled. "Could've informed me so that I wouldn't have gone half crazy with worry!"
When I reached the foot of the bed with the girl still yelling at me to get the fuck out of there, I realized something was wrong.
"Abeo?" I called out, shaking his shoulder but he didn't respond. "Abeo, what the hell?" I grabbed his face and shook him until he finally made some movement.
His eyes half opened and a lazy smiled graced his lips. "Julia, whyyy you here? H-How did you get into my house?" His speech was far slurred than when I had left him. Then his eyes rolled back into his head and instantly his snores filled the air. I noticed he was shirtless and his jeans were pushed down to his ankles. His underwear looked like it had been pushed down and then pushed back up to cover him.
My blood ran cold and I whipped my head towards the girl who was still straddling him. "He's fucking drunk. What are you trying to do with him?!"
She straightened her dress and then stepped out of the bed. "He had a drink or two. It's not a big deal. We were having fun until you showed up. Now get out," she said condescendingly and tried to push me towards the door.
Without thinking, I grabbed the back of her head and pulled on her hair. "I think the fuck not. From what it seems to me, you were trying to rape him! Or have you already?!"
She screamed for me to let go. "No! What the fuck are you talking about?! He wanted to sleep with me. We were talking and he was flirting with me and giving me all the signs."
"Then let me ask you, did he specifically make the move to take you to bed or did you make him drink until he wasn't in his senses? Do not fucking lie or I will bash your head in and just so you understand, it will be very easy for me to do that."
She whimpered at my tight grip on her hair but submitted to me. "I-I just bought him a few drinks after which he couldn't even stand properly so I took him here to let him rest. I swear I didn't do anything to him. Besides he's a man, however the fuck can he be raped?"
"Like this, damn it! If the genders were reversed, then you'd call it rape? You're fucking disgusting."
"It's called a blowjob, you bitch. And we were just getting to the good stuff until you ruined it."
"He's freaking passed out. Y-You still raped him," I said incredulously.
"Don't be silly. He's a guy!" She cried out. "He enjoyed it!"
I looked at her in disbelief. My anger knew no bounds at that moment but before I could do something to make her regret her actions, she was snatched out of my hold and slammed into the nearest wall. I heard a sickening crack.
Confused, I blinked a few times to see where she'd gone. Standing next to me, his massive back turned to me which was rising and falling rapidly indicating his rapid breathing, I saw Nova's thick fingers wrapped around the girl's neck. She spluttered and turned pale, gasping for breath as her legs dangled uselessly under her. It reminded me of when Murat had me in the same position.
Snapping out of my trance, I put a hand over Nova's arm. "Nova, let go."
The girl clawed at his hand, drawing blood from his fingers with her sharp and long nails.
"Nova," I said again, gripping his bicep firmly. "Let go of her. You're going to kill her."
He seemed to be in a trance, unaffected by what he was doing and what I was telling him.
"Nova!" I ducked inside under his arm until I was between him and the girl. He got distracted when I came in the line of his eyesight. Placing my hands on his chest, I pushed him back making him let go of his hold. He didn't resist and allowed me to put space between us. The girl dropped like a sack of potatoes behind me, rubbing at her neck.
He picked up his device and angrily typed in it. "Get the fuck out of here."
"What?" I said, shooting the girl a glare to stay put. "Shouldn't we report her to the police?"
Nova shook his head, then looked down at Abeo, half naked and passed out. "She'll be dead by my hands before they get here." Then he leveled an icy stare at the girl who was sat frozen, eyes wide with fear. Then he added, "And you won't be able to stop me this time."
I didn't doubt him. The look in his eyes when he was choking her was full of rage. He wasn't thinking clearly then but still in control enough to let me stop him. I fought a shudder as I wondered what he'd do if he lost full control over himself.
"Get out if you don't want to end up dead," I told her and she didn't waste another second to do just that. "And if you even think of doing this again to any other guy, there will be hell to pay."
She should definitely not be let off this easy but I didn't feel like helping Nova hide a dead body tonight. It had been a long day anyway.
Before she left, I took a good look at her if there was a need to identify her if Abeo ever decided that she needed punishing. I didn't recognize her from our school but she seemed to be about Abeo's age. "What is your name?" I asked.
She shook her head frantically. "I won't tell you."
Before I could make her she sprinted out the door and in the next second she disappeared into the crowd and darkness.
I looked at Nova who was watching Abeo sleep, looking rather creepy that way. His hands were fisted at his sides and he was breathing harshly, trying to rein in his anger. "Hey," I said to him. "We saved him. He's fine now. I'll take him home."
Nova bent down, picking his shirt from the floor and began putting it on him. He pushed Abeo's jeans up and buttoned them. I didn't attempt to help him figuring Abeo had had enough female hands on him without his consent for today.
"I'm coming with you."
"There's no need. I know where he lived and I can get him home."
"I can't trust him with any girl when he's in this state. I'm coming."
Looking at his face, I knew he wasn't going to be talked out of it. "Fine," I sighed. "Help me hold him up-"
Nova didn't listen to me and proceeded to scoop Abeo up in his arms as if he were a baby and turned to me, blinking at me until I realized he can't possibly use his device to say anything to me while he was holding Abeo in his arms.
"I guess I'll lead the way to his car," I said and turned for the door, hearing Nova's heavy footsteps follow me. "You know, you care about him too much for someone who's feelings aren't returned," I commented and looked back to catch Nova grimacing.
