Jerome’s POV:

Although I was dancing with Linda on the dance floor, my attention was fixed on Skylar.

When I saw her gulping down glass after glass of alcohol like she wanted to drown her sorrows, I felt as if a knife was piercing my heart.

“Focus, Jerome,” Linda said to me.

She even slipped her arms around my waist, trying to get close to me.

“Sorry, I have to leave now.You can dance with someone else.”

Excusing myself as politely as I could, I pushed Linda away and walked towards Skylar.

When I reached the table Skylar was sitting at, I grabbed her glass out of her hand and shot her a pointed look.

“Skylar, stop drinking.Let me take you back,” I told her.

To my dismay, Skylar was so drunk that she didn’t even recognize me.

“Who are you?” she slurred.

Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes looked hazy.

It seemed that she was already dead drunk.I couldn’t let her drink anymore.

“Why did you steal my glass? I want to drink more! Give it back to me!”

Skylar’s voice rose in anger as she spoke, and she snatched the glass back from me.

“Skylar, listen to me.Stop drinking.I’ll take you back to your room,”

I coaxed her gently.

But as if she didn’t hear me at all, Skylar picked up the bottle of alcohol and poured herself another glass to drink.

Sitting next to her, I hugged her and looked at her sadly.

“Skylar, please don’t torture yourself, okay? You’re breaking my heart.”

“You know what? I’ve lost the one person in the world that I love the most.I thought there was finally light in my world, but now it is dark again.Do you have any idea what despair feels like? Since I was a child, I grew up without a family.I thought I’d finally have a family now, but I was wrong,” Skylar cried.

Her words were like a slap in my face.

What did she mean by saying she didn’t have a family now? I was her family, wasn’t I?

“Skylar, what are you saying? You have me, and you have great friends like Jennifer.All of us love you, and we will always be by your side.”

I held her tightly in my arms, wishing that my embrace would be enough to comfort her and calm her down.

Somehow, I had a bad feeling that if I loosened my grip on her now, she would disappear from my life forever.
