We kneeled at the edge of the property scanning the crowd for the blonde.  I finally spotted her leaning against a over turned g;ass table.  She looked so small and innocent.  Her arms were wrapped around her torso fighting fear and the chilly air.  I wanted so badly to enfold her in my arms.  I never liked seeing Spencer scared as a kid.  That hasn’t changed one bit.

With a last glance around the property to make sure it was safe to come out in the open I walked or ran towards the blonde.  Everything else was a blur as I raced to her side.  She didn’t see me coming and squealed as my body came in contact with hers.  Her cries landed on mute ears not that it mattered.  

Once she figured out it was me we were both hugging the living daylights out of each other.  Her warm body felt perfect next to me.  I let my hand trace soft circles along her back to comfort her.  Spencer’s head buried into my shoulder and I smiled knowing she was safe.

“Gosh Spence you scared the shit out of me.”  I told her with a small chuckle right by her ear.  She whimpered into my hair.  

“I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to.  I just…”  Her weak voice trailed off.  It’s ok she didn’t have to tell me now.  All I needed at the moment was Spencer safe and sound.  I didn’t even get to hug her for more than a minute before she was taken out of my arms and placed in her brothers.  

“Well this has been an eventful night?”  Glen stated helping the younger blonde to her feet.  She may be clean but she was a bit drunk.  From what I know, she’d probably suffer a hang over later on.

“Tell me about it?  Aiden joked on the other side of me.  I smile and turned my attention back to the clumsy girl.  She tripped over her own feet twice before taking 5 successful steps.  No one had noticed us yet and things were starting to look bright.

“WooOoo  WooOoo”  A loud noise echoed into the night.  It shattered my peaceful resolve and rung my nerves.  I knew the sound all to well.
