you’re the type of girl that doesn’t let anyone push you around. men, most of all.

but, being groped by a contestant judge?

that’s one thing you had never expected.

thank god, it didn’t go further — really it’s because taggie showed up right in time, and it gave you the chance to get the hell away from that old man.

but, still, there were no words.

this may have not been the first time you’ve dealt with harassment from men, but you never expected an old man — a fucking judge contestant for young girls — to do that.

it was both terrifying and mortifying to the point where taggie had to try to calm you down.

but, it was so bad that you just walked away and right past declan, who could easily tell something was wrong.

even more when you didn’t even answer him when he called out to you, which led to taggie having to tell her father what happened.

to say the least, it led to him showing up on the show as one of the judges, drunk and angry, though he tried to hide it.

but, with how hypocritical and disgusting that old man was acting towards the young girls, nothing was going to stop him from snapping.

after all, he can be very impulsive and reckless sometimes.

and you saw it yourself on the tv in the control room.

”you filthy, hypocritical old git!”

then, he’s throwing punches, and he has to be dragged away.

by the time, you rush out and approach him in the hall, you’re angry and confused.

except, he doesn’t realize that you’re partly upset with him.

“are you okay, sweetheart?” he asks in that accent of his, his face full of concern, as if he hadn’t just hit a contestant judge, attacked his boss, or broke the glass of his boss’s office.

which seems to only make you more angry.

because you didn’t need him fighting your battles, and now you know that taggie had told him the truth.

and that is the worst part because you didn’t want him to know about it.
