Pain of my heart

Brielle POV

Just as I was about to go away, he dragged me towards the centre of the room

"I don't want to." He whined, turning around looking for his companion.

"Oh, come on." I was beyond frustrated now.

"Not before you dance with me." Even though he was drunk but I could see the glint in his eyes.

"What the hell! I'm not dancing with you. Now please let's me go," I tried to snatch my arm away but he again hold me so hard against him

"Then I'm not letting you to go. Now, where is that cute girl?" He searched around the room.

Cute girl, my foot

I was beyond frustrated, not wanting to be near him even for a second anymore

He smirked and pushed me closer to his body. I ended up crashing on his chest and scowled at him. He slipped his hands down to my waist and yanked me even further. I yelped and placed a hand on his chest to maintain at least some distance. My body froze when his hand lowered from the waist to the curve of my hips.

"Relax" He lowered his head to whisper in my ear, his voice sending fuzzy feeling inside my body.

"What... are... y... you doing?" I managed to stutter and tried to push him away.

"Dancing." He smirked and pulled me closer.

He picked up the rhythm and slowly moved his body against mine. I was fully aware of how dangerously close we were. Subconsciously, I placed my hands on his broad shoulder. As weird as it sound I could feel the warmth of his body on my fingertips and also felt him stiffen.

Even on the light floor, I could feel his eyes boring on my face. I repeated the mistake that I committed on the first day by looking at his eyes again. The amount of desire in his eyes overwhelmed me. He slowly inched his face closer to mine and my heart went in hyperventilating mode.

Not breaking eye contact he held my neck in one of his hands and inched me closer so we were just a few centimeters away from each other. My grip on his shoulder tightened as his warm breath was fanning my face and I fought an urge to flutter my eyes shut.

Just when he was about to close the remaining distance, I tried to remain calm with him, but before I can understand more, I was suddenly pushed down over the air

I felt my neck muscles straining as my head arched back in the path of a downward parabola.

My eyes were now open like someone was prying my eyelids apart. I attempted to contort my body to a position where I could turn my head to see what was beneath me - or if there was anything beneath me. I  could now suddenly see my legs. They were rising, his two feet like two kites on his thin, wiry legs, slowly rising out in front of him, and above my head.

There was my abdomen, splayed out ahead of me. I was unable to make out the edges of my waist because of the fluttering of my t-shirt in the wind, as I fell. The realization had dawned. I could feel nothing under me. Even the air was nowhere. My hands were flapping by my side - two noodles I had no control of.

My chest tightened, my breath speeding, managed to force my eyes shut, bracing for impact. I  was powerless versus gravity; falling.

I felt being embraced on the water around me, I tried to wiggle but failed

I felt like a force was pushing me upwards

I quickly come upwards from the water level

I swallowed as the water went on my nostrils, making me gulp down

When my eyes get clear, I've looked around and found, everyone was laughing, whispering looking at me,

But, my heart sank more, when I found him, Zuriel

He's the one who threw me on this swimming pool

He was smirking, looking at me smugly

I shook my head, this time I couldn't stop my tears from falling

Suddenly, his smile fell looking at my condition, I can see guilt in his eyes for me

He quickly jumped on the pool and was about to grab my arm but I pushed him away with as much force as I can

"I hate you, Zuriel I've thought that you're different but you know what, I was wrong so is wrong, you're nothing but the same selfish as all of them," I pointed at the crowd

"Oh, come on, it's not our mistake that you're so dumb and naive," a tattooed guy said from the crowd making everyone erupt in laughter

"Enough, no one will dare to laugh at her, don't you dare to make fun of her, the party is over, get out everyone, " he shouted at them and everyone started leaving

He helps me get out of the pool, I was also about to follow the crowd, to exit from here but he grabbed my hand and stopped me

"Listen, ...," before I can complete but I cut me off

"I know what I did was very terrible, please, I promise........," I showed my hand to him stopping him to say further

"Please, ...." I fall on my knees and more tears come out from my eyes, making my chest heavy

"I know, you're hurt," I can feel guilt in his voice for me

"I want to go to my grandpa's home," I whispered and he looked at me

I looked in his eyes, he was begging me to listen to him once through his eyes, but I know very well, I'm not ready, not ready to talk about this now, not ready to face anything now

His behavior, he was making out with that girls, in front of me, hurting me more, how can he expect me to listen to him as nothing happened

I know he's been through a lot but that doesn't mean that he will pull that anger on me

I'm not and I will not be his punching bag, I will not bear this

"I need some time and you too, I think we both need to start away from each other for down time," I said when he gives me a glass of warm water to drink

He looked down at the floor and nodded

"But, please at least let me drop you off to your grandfather's home," he said and looked in his eyes, he was practically begging me, I can dwny him, no matter what the will do with me, but I always become so weak in front of my heart

And my heart becomes of weak in front of him.
