Julie practically ran out of the club and as the cold air hit her face, she felt like she could finally breathe again. At the same time, she felt like she will throw up because of the alcohol that lay restless in her stomach and threatened to come out any time soon.
She leaned her back against a wall near the entrance of the club and tried to take in deep breaths to fight off the nausea.
Jade and Camille caught up to her. "Julie, oh my god, what happened?" Camille asked her with concern written all over her face.
Julie didn't know what to say. She felt ashamed that she did let it come to this. Not only can't she handle alcohol, she let a guy take advantage of her. It was unlike her to be that irresponsible.
"Did that guy do something to you?" Jade went straight to the point. Jade knew that Pierre wouldn't freak out like this without a good reason and she heard him screaming something about that guy touching Julie.
Julie nodded faintly and Camille hugged her to help her calm down.
Some loud yelling caught their attention. The security dragged two men out of the club. The girls recognized Pierre who remained completely calm and just let the security men drag him out. Julie knew that the other guy who complained to the security was Adam. His face was bloody, his left eye was swollen and it looked light his nose was broken although it was hard to see under all that blood.
They heard how Adam claimed that Pierre just attacked him without reason and that he doesn't deserve to get thrown out like this.
Julie felt the anger in the pit of her stomach swell and she rushed over to the group wanting to confront this disgusting guy.
"He is lying. Pierre attacked him because he tried to force himself on me." Julie explained to the security.
"What! We were just dancing and he attacked me out of nowhere. Stop making things up to protect your friend."
Julie exhaled in anger. "I'm not making anything up. I asked you to let me go and tried to push you away but you did only grip me harder then."
As Pierre listened to Julie, he wanted to punch this guy again. Not only did he try to force himself on Julie, he was also shamelessly lying now.
When he was dancing with that random girl Lucas introduced him to, he couldn't stop himself from looking over to Julie.
At first he saw them dancing while keeping a distance to each other and occasionally the guy leaned forward to say something into Julie's ear due to the loud music.
Pierre didn't like that someone other than him was dancing with Julie but up to this point it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.
This changed abruptly when Pierre saw them getting closer to each other. Pierre felt his blood freezing in his veins at the sight of Julie being so close to another man.
The guy had his hands on her waist and she hers on his shoulders looking up at him while they swayed slightly to the music.
Pierre couldn't stop the jealousy from invading his heart and all other cells in his body. How can this random nobody dance so closely with Julie. He wanted to drag her away from him but how could he?
"What's on your mind handsome you look distracted." The girl he was dancing with suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his view. "Did you set your eyes on another girl. Why don't you give me a little bit more attention?"
Pierre just ignored her irritated that he couldn't see Julie anymore. He didn't even fully hear what she just said. The music was too loud and he didn't care anyway.
"Sorry, I will get another drink. I'll be right back." He left without waiting for her answer and the girl was left behind dumbfounded.
Of course, Pierre only came up with this excuse to be able to observe Julie. From the bar he had a better view and he stood there watching how this disgusting guy got sneakier with his hands by the minute.
He couldn't stand watching this scene in front of him. The woman of his dreams so close to another man and there was nothing he could do about it.
Or could he? Can he just go there and drag her away? He could tell her that it was to protect her so that she wouldn't do anything she regrets under the influence of alcohol.
Or would that be too overbearing? He couldn't act like a jealous boyfriend when they weren't in a relationship and he didn't even confess his feelings yet.
Pierre snapped out of his thoughts when he saw how this guy literally started to grope Julie. She wanted to push him away but this prick didn't let her go.
Pierre felt his blood boiling at the scene in front of him and he rushed over to her like his life depended on it. No one gets to touch his woman like this.
When he came closer he heard how Julie practically pleaded with him to stop but he didn't listen. That's when he lost control.
Pierre wasn't a violent person but seeing the woman he loves getting treated like this made him snap.
He hit this guys face as hard as he could and then continued throwing punches at him while he was helplessly laying on the floor. The guy tried to fight back but it was useless. Pierre had the upper hand since Adam was already dizzy from the first punch.
After a while the security stormed in to drag him off of Adam. Pierre looked around to see Julie but she wasn't there anymore. He didn't resist when the security men dragged him out.
Back in the present outside of the club, Pierre couldn't hold his temper back at Adam's next comment.
"Don't act like you didn't want this, you slut," he spitted through his bloody teeth.
Pierre saw red. "Talk to her like this again and I will break every bone in your body." How dare this guy talk to Julie like that. She was the most pure and kind-hearted soul he has ever seen and this guy can't get away with insulting her.
Two security men had to hold Pierre back by his arms or he would beat Adam up again.
Jade felt like she couldn't continue just standing there and she had an idea on how to help her friends. "It is true what she said. We saw it too, how this man molested Julie and right after we noticed Pierre knocked him down. He just wanted to help her."
She didn't really see it but she knew her friends wouldn't lie about this.
"Liar. You just want to cover your friend," Adam said angrily.
Jade didn't want to argue with him. Instead she turned to the four security men. "Maybe I should call André and tell him that his stuff is not able to protect their female customers."
André was the owner of this club and a good friend of Jade. Through him she was always on the guest list and could go on parties whenever she wanted.
The security started to get nervous. "You know the boss?" One of them asked.
Jade didn't care explaining. She took her phone and stepped away for a moment. Her call only lasted for a minute. A few second after that all of the security man received a text message.
They immediately let go of Pierre and dragged Adam away from the building despite his loud complains.
"Wow Jade that was kind of scary. What did you do?" Camille joked.
"I told André what happened and he made sure that the guy is banned for life in this club," Jade answered proudly. It was good to have connections.
Pierre was caught by surprise when Julie threw herself into his arms. "Thanks for helping me. I don't want to imagine what would have happened without you."
Pierre enjoyed Julie's embrace and he inhaled her sweet perfume. "No big deal. Just be more careful and next time don't wander off with random guys."
Julie shook her head. She definitely won't be so stupid again.
She turned to Jade. "Thank you for taking care of this." Julie was grateful that she had friends like this.
"No big deal. I just needed to make one call. If you want to thank me enjoy the rest of the night. We still have something to celebrate."
"I'm sorry but I thing I'll better go home." After what happened Julie didn't fell like dancing anymore and she still felt a little bit sick from the alcohol.
"Oh no, the night has barely started. You can't go," Jade complained. "Just stick to Pierre from now on and have some fun. We can't let the night end on a sad note. You can still turn this day into a good memory."
Jade folded her hands and looked at her pleadingly.
"We could dance together. What do you say, Julie?" Pierre asked hopeful. He liked that Jade suggested that Julie should stay by his side.
"Well fine, but just because I don't want to ruin your night," Julie gave up.
Pierre wanted to tell her that she didn't ruin anything but Jade was faster. "Great let's go back inside," she said satisfied that she got what she wanted.
The four of them went back inside the club and they met Lucas near the entrance. "Were have you been. I was looking everywhere for you? Did something happen?"
"I will tell you later," Pierre answered shortly. He didn't want to explain. He was too focused on Julie.
"Come Lucas, dance with me!" Jade grabbed Lucas' wrist and dragged him to the dance floor and the others followed after them.
The group started dancing in the middle of the crowd. Julie felt awkward at first but Pierre told her not to worry about it.
In addition, he tried everything to make her laugh. Show of his bad dance skills, taking Julie's hand and swirling her around and thanks to Pierre Julie still had fun that night.
She couldn't express in words how thankful she was to have a friend like him. Pierre was always there for her from the beginning and she wondered how she deserved someone like him in her life.
Julie started to hug Pierre while dancing. She felt secure with him and she needed that now.
Pierre was on cloud nine. Having Julie in his arms like this exceeded all of his wishes from this night. He was hopeful that this incident caused Julie to think about their relationship in a different way because he showed her that he was able to protect her.
He felt joyful at the thought that Julie might fall in love with him and he felt his confidence grow. Soon he will confess his feelings to her and his chances increased immensely today.
