Gerard’s POV

Hide and seek?
Who is this girl? This girl with hair like a bouquet of roses, with the most mesmerising eyes I’ve ever seen. This girl with beautiful tanned legs that go on for miles. This girl with the most confusing demeanour I have ever experienced.
And through thinking about her, I’ve lost her. Shit.
I guess I better start looking. I scan over the crowd looking for a splash of red and pink but find none. Where could she have gotten to so fast? I decide to leave the bar and look for her on foot, shoving past all kinds of strange and deluded people, looking around I have no idea where or why the hell my brother dragged me here, why would he even want to come here himself?
I venture to the dance floor, although she didn’t seem like the type to bust a move, she seemed very in with herself, much closed, very mysterious.
As happens, girls tried to dance with me, some guys tried to dance with me, some other guys eyed me closely as their probable girlfriends tried to dance with me, none of them had a chance, I have my sights set, I just have to find my target again.

As I’m looking around, someone crashes into me and because I'm a clumsy fuck, I end up straight on the grime covered floor. I look up to see my ‘attacker’ is none other than my buddy Frank.

“Hey man, the fuck you doing down there?” Drunk, I decide.
“Your fat ass put me down here, now I don’t think that my fat ass is gonna be able to get off the floor because of the amount of sticky shit that’s covering it!” I yell back.
“WHAT?!” He exclaims, clearly not hearing what I say over the blaring music and others yelling out.
“Just help me up idiot!” I put my hand out so he understands the request, even though it still takes him a moment to get what I'm asking and finally help me up. I dust myself off and look around again.
“Who’re you looking for?” He asks, slurring.
“No one” I reply shortly.
“Whatever man, we got two hot chicks at the table, Mikey seems pretty smitten for the blonde one though so looks like she's off the table, the other one though…” he pauses seeming to go off into some sort of lust filled daydream, the way he talks about women sickens me sometimes.
“Na, not interested dude, get yourself away.” I slug him on his shoulder jokingly and he stumbles of shouting encouragingly at a young couple making out in the middle of the dance floor.

I decide to take a break from looking and go for a cigarette. I exit through the heavy double black doors at the back of the club, I step outside and pull out one of my trusty Marlborough Reds and spark up instantly, flipping my zippo shut when it’s lit. From the back doors you can just see the designated smoking area that the club has, I don’t like going there though, too many drunk people trying to bum cigarettes from you. But then I realised that this was the one time I should have gone there, because that’s when I saw that flash of colour, the colour I’ve been looking for all night. I quickly stub out my fag and rush back inside towards the smoking area. But by the time I get there all I see are blondes and brunettes and a couple of purples, but no reds and pinks. Damn!

Realisation dawned upon me how hard I'm actually trying for this girl, I mean she's just a girl in a club, just someone who could possibly come home with me maybe. So why do I feel like I need to do everything I can find her? Which reminds me, I'm wasting time, it’s already 1am. I dash back into the club and start moving around, searching almost frantically. She's no where. I start to think she's left, of course she wouldn’t wait around for me, she probably had better things to do with her night, and I've just wasted my first night out in months looking for a girl, who now I'm second guessing whether or not actually exists.
God I'm an idiot.
I start heading back to the table, muttering to myself about how stupid I've been, imagining a perfect girl, am I really that lonely?

I round the corner to the booth my brother and friends are sitting in but so far I can only see Mikey but as I walk closer I see Frank, Ray, Bob, some blonde girl, and then…

“Hey hot stuff, looks like you found me, want your prize?
