As Darren came closer to Everly, she kept her bat up in the air like she could swing at any time as she kept her steps steady and her eyes forward on him. She had spotted Sterling out of the corner of her eyes by the door trying to stay out of sight so Darren couldn't see him because of his main focus being solely on Ev. Everly did not even flinch at the man calling her names as she just simply laughed at him. "What's a matter big man? Scared the little girl is going to hurt you again? I could care less what names you call me I am NOT afraid of you, and do not speak to her!" And she absolutely wasn't afraid. Of course, he towered over her, but Everly could care less. The only thing that scared her was what she could do to herself or someone else for that matter. When Everly got to upset she tended to black out and find out later on all the damage she would do.
The last thing that Everly wanted was for Paige to exit the car to help her. She wanted her safely tucked into the car until someone could get her out of there unharmed. Spotting Liam walking towards the car, she tried to keep Darren's attention on her. Hearing him calling Paige a whore had Everly swinging her bat at the man again and catching him in the same forearm that she had hit his hand. When he began to yank the bat trying to get it from her, Liam took this time to motion Sterling over to take Paige inside. Turning to Paige, he looked her in the eye and touched her cheek "Go inside with Sterling and I will be right there." He told the woman knowing she was afraid as Sterling put his arms around her shoulders and tried to veer her into the building, so she was safe and away from the situation outside.
When Darren tried to yank the bat out of Everly's hand, she did hold on tightly not caring that it was burning her hands. She kicked her legs out and caught his shin as it gave Liam the right time to scoop in and take the man down. Coming up behind him, Liam grabbed the man from behind and threw him to the ground with his knee digging into his back as he told Everly to move away, and she did as she was told and handed Liam the bat instead as the man placed it onto Darren's neck and pushed him further into the ground. "You're so good at fighting women, I should let you up and see if you can take me on, but you're not worth that." He stated just as police came roaring to the front of the bar to secure the scene on hand.
