I laughed and ran after Liam, pumping my fist in the air whooping for Liam. "Yeah! Go Liam!" About time someone became a man and went for what they want. F**k the b*****s. They cheat more than we do, plus it wasn't Liam's fault. He was drunk.

Mason laughed running beside me. I could feel people's eyes watching us as we ran. "Why are you cheering him on? You know Ashley's brother is here. You know he's extremely protective of Ash. Liam's a fool. But he's my friend so I guess I should support him..." Mason trailed off, slowing to a jog as we neared the center of the club. Ugh. Save it. I seriously don't give a f**k. A fight's a fight.

"Psh. Ryan? He's not too bad. I think Liam could take him if he truly wanted to." I said. Ha, yeah, I doubt it.

"Who could Liam take?" Someone asked. I stopped dead in my tracks, hoping Ryan hadn't overheard us, and turned around.

"Oh, Elias." I said, a breath of relief rushing out of me. "He... Uh... Liam, well." I fumbled with my words, unsure if I could trust Elias not to get my a*s beat for talking s**t behind people's backs.

"No one," Mason said, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the crowd that was forming on the dance floor. Only people weren't bumping and grinding. They weren't getting sweaty, drunk, and horny. They were whispering and watching something. The music was still blaring but you didn’t have to talk over the noise of people yelling over the music, everyone was quiet.

Elias shrugged his shoulders and put his hands in his pockets, he knew we were lying. "Uh huh. Sure." I laughed. Damn it.

"Come on, we have to go find Liam before he gets his neck wrung." I said, walking with Elias towards where Liam had ran.

"Go away, Liam!" I heard Ashley shriek above the music. I snapped my head in the direction her voice came from. Of course, in the giant circle forming in the middle of the dance floor. Dumb a*s. I looked at Elias before we ran towards the circle, pushing and shoving our way to the front. There were yelps and grunts of protest from the drunk people I pushed aside, but they were the least of my worries right now.

"Ash... Please... Just let me talk to you. Just let me explain." Liam pleaded. I scanned the room for Ryan. He had to be close.

"I don't want you to talk to me! Not here, not now. Not ever." Ashley said, turning away from Liam to exit the circle. Liam grabbed her wrist pulling her back swiftly. I smirked as several people gasped in unison. S**t is about to go down. I couldn’t help but grin. There was gonna be a fight!

"Oh s**t... She's pissed." Elias muttered beside me.

"So is he..." I pointed towards Ryan, pushing and shoving his way to the middle of the circle. I saw sever girl scamper away, rather spilling there drinks than being pushed aside by a raging grizzly bear.

Ashley turned around and slapped Liam so hard it echoed above the music. Liam cried out and a hand clutched at his face as he went down to his knees. "F*****g b***h!" He screamed.

I couldn't help but laughing as I elbowed Elias in his rib cage as Ryan got even closer, madder than hell. "I don't know what's redder. Liam's cheek or Ryan's face!" Elias laughed too. Maybe I could trust him.

Ashley stood there like she just woke up in the middle of a field, her expression saying 'what the f**k just happened?' Ryan enter the circle and Maddy rushed in and pulled Ashley out, Ashley's faced still dazed.

"Ash, Ashley look at me," Maddy said sitting her on an expensive looking but probably cheap sofa. Bria and Brook came over trying to help get Ashley's attention. Ryan took Ashley's spot in front of Liam, who was hunched over being a dramatic little b***h. So much for man power.

“Beat the s**t out of him, Ryan!” I heard someone yell when it got quiet, a voice I didn’t recognized, a female voice. Must be one of his exes.

"He's such a p***y," Elias laughed and shook his head at Liam, forming my thoughts into words. I laughed too and watched Samuel come up behind Ryan, Tobias following. Justin ran up and held Ryan's arms behind his back, trying to prevent him from beating Liam to a pulp most likely.

“Oh come one, don’t stop him unless you’re looking to get the s**t beat out of you too.” I scowled a little and crossed my ars, watching the three boys try to calm Ryan down. That, of course, was a pointless task. Ryan is too protective of Ash to let Liam get away with anymore bullshit.

"Should we help?" Elias asked, turning his head to look at me then slowing drawing his gaze to my face, he didn’t want to miss a single second of what was happening here. I kept watching the boys in the circle. People were already quietly chanting 'Fight! Fight! Fight!', their voices getting louder with each chant.

I rubbed my chin as if thinking and smirked. "Nah. This should be interesting." Elias smiled and shook his head. Ryan was struggling to get out of Justin’s grip, but so far he was surprisingly having a hard time.

"Let. Me. Go." Ryan huffed, obviously pissed but attempting to be calm, not that it fooled anyone. Justin tightened his arms and shook his head ‘no’ and Ryan broke free from them and walked back to Liam. He raised his fist and laughed when Liam flinched from where he had been standing, he had gotten off his knees when people started to chant.

"This is just too easy." Ryan said with a little laugh, rolling his eyes. He looked at everyone and then at me before raising his eyebrows as if asking if he should do it. I grinned and just shrugged before mouthing to him. “It’s your sister.”

“Don’t you f*****g ever touch my sister again!" Ryan shouted before clocking Liam in the side of the head. Liam went down, and he went down hard and cold. His body crumpled to the ground, his head bouncoing off the concrete floor. No doubt that he’s got a concussion now.

"Oh s**t!" I shouted, a grin on my face. I couldn't take my eyes off of Liam laying there unconscious. Ryan wasn’t done yet as he climbed on top of Liam, his knee pinning his chest down even though we wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

"Justin! Stop him!" Maddy screamed as Ryan pounded on Liam's face. Maddy ran towards Ryan as Justin spun around and caught her. "Stay back, Maddy! I don't want you getting hurt!" Justin cried, wrapping his arms around Maddy's waist.

I looked back and saw Bria run in front of Ryan before he could land another punch on Liam's broken and bloody face. Ryan’s fist was soaked in Liam’s blood as it connected to Liam’s face everywhere that it possibly could. Where are club bouncers at a time like this?

"Stop!" Bria coughed as she screamed the word. I spun around, hearing other coughs and gags, and saw people running from the club, pulling their shirts and jackets over their noses. There was a thick smoke or fog snaking around everyone's ankles. I could feel my throat tightening as the air thickened, making it harder to breathe. Was there a fire? No, the alarms would be going off plus the smoke would be up high. Not down low.

Bria was trying to pull Ryan off of Liam, but she couldn’t even budge him an inch. "Come on, Ryan! Snap out of it! F**k!" She paused in between sentences to cough into her elbow. I looked around and saw a girl named Snow. She was trying to take Ashley from the room but I could she her eyelids shutting. Ashley had passed out in her arms right before Snow passed out, her knees giving out and sending them both to the ground. "What the f**k..." I trailed off unable to get enough air for the rest of my sentence.

I looked around more, seeing people I didn't know and didn't care too know running out of the doors of the club, too selfish to help the fallen people or people who had passed out. I saw my friends collapsing in a fit of coughs, gags and wheezes, then finally passing out one by one. I didn't realize I was wheezing until my vision started going dark around the edges.

I think I heard the heavy metal doors to the back of the club open or close before I felt myself teetering. I reached my hands out to hold onto something that wasn't there. My hands were still wandering when I hit the ground hard, knocking the wind out of me, or what was left in me. I wheezed, looking for what had knocked me down when my brother, Samuel, collapsed in front of me.

"Cam..." He cried out reaching for me weakly, his eyes slowing shutting as he too passed out.

"Sam!" I screamed, my vision getting blacker and blacker by the second. F**k! What the f**k is going on!? "Bria!" I heard Ryan scream as he caught Bria in mid-fall.

"What's going on?" She asked before going limp. I fought to keep my eyes open, my mind frantically trying to stay alert and awake, but it was having troubled with little oxygen. I felt like going under water, my eyes and mind trying to stay afloat, the struggle to stay conscious growing harder and harder as I was drowned by the imaginary water.

There was a loud banging noise and I turned my head in that direction. My vision was weak and blurry, but I could make out four or five guys. It looked as if they were wearing gas masks but they definitely had guns.

"Luke, you get those six. Caleb, you get those five. You two, get these five.” I heard before my eyes slipped shut and I was dragged into the deep, dark waters of unconsciousness. Oh, f**k.
