Sharp

I hesitate before taking her hand and leading her out.

```
Ryder

I take us to the table and sit down.

Mel

We get there and I glance at Val before sitting down.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

I stay standing up, "I'm going to go get us drinks," I tell him.

Sharp

I follow her to a seat but follow Val away when she heads to get drinks, plastering a smirk on my face.

```
Ryder

I nod before Sharp and his girl show up. Swallowing, I make to go with her.

Mel

I step infront of Ryder before he can move and smile, "So," I ask, "Where'd you guys meet?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

I go to the mini bar thing in the kitchen and start to make drinks.

Sharp

I stand beside Val, cutting her off, "I just wanted to apologize, sweetheart. I was an a*s to you earlier and with all this going on..." I reach for her hand, "I think we should all stick together."

````
Ryder

I swallow and study the girl, "I don't feel comfortable telling you that."

Mel

I frown, "Why not?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

I move my hand away and shake my head, "Uh...no. You hurt him, and hurt me. You hit me."

Sharp

I study her, "The past is the past, sweetheart. It can all be put behind us."

```
Ryder

I glance at where Val is and try to stand again, "You hurt her. I don't want anything to do with you or your boyfriend."

Mel

I stay infront of him, "What? She hurt me? She stabbed me in the stomach."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

I study him, "What are you trying to do?"

Sharp

I smirk, nonchalantly moving closer, "Nothing."

`````
Ryder

I look back at her, "I don't care. You hurt her back. We don't want anything to do with you two."

Mel

I hesitate before looking into his eyes and putting on a puppy-dog face, "Forgive me?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

I stay where I am and continue making drinks.

Sharp

I wrap an arm around her and spin her around, catching her in a kiss.

````
Ryder

I blink out of her trance, "The puppy-dog look doesn't suit a cat."

Mel

I raise an eyebrow, "Would you rather I hiss?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,
Val

He kisses me and I pull back, slapping him.

Sharp

I chuckle when she slaps me, grabbing her wrist and taking her into the hall, "Now, now, sweetheart. I thought we could be friends."

````
Ryder

I hear a slap and look for Val, not seeing her. Panic sets in when I realize I can't find Sharp as well. Swearing, I walk away from the table.

Mel

I swear and run after Ryder, pulling him into a Mesmorizing kiss to blank his mind.

,,,,,,,,
Val

I glance back, "B-But the tables that way."

Sharp

I smirk again, leading her away, "I know."

```
Ryder

I forget what I'm doing for a moment before pulling back and stumbling over. Wiping my lips, I stand and rush out.
