Hell is Other People

Chapter 11

Fair's Pov

Euphoria.

A noun that describes a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness. In other words glee or ecstasy.

I would use this word to describe the situation in front of me but I don't think this is what is going on entirely here. Everyone around me is in a state where I would characterise it as euphoria but most of them don't look good. They rather look sick. Especially, Ella...

"Are you okay?" I try to bring her in her conscious state but she doesn't budge at all from laying on the table.

Shit...

She had too much to drink... I was trying to cipher everything before she passed out on the table. Well, I could tell from what was happening, I think Ella has a thing for Cody and is pretty obvious. Although, I am way too confused because I have no idea who the fuck Cody wants.

Minutes ago he was hugging Ella so tight and shouting, pretty drunk may I add, "I want my kangaroo" and didn't let her go from his embrace only after when Ella passed out in the table next to her.

Cody, now as we speak, is clinging onto Gale and is shouting "I will marry you now, if I have too!"

God... this is a mess. I actually thought he was like that, to be honest, more like open with everyone but as I can see no he is limited to these two.

"I think I'm going to throw up." I hear Ella whisper as she regains her conscious back. Before I get the chance to react at her response Jane gets her up from beside her and leads her to the bathroom.

Shit, just got real. I think she is not going to work tomorrow.

Gale saw the motion and untangled herself from Cody and went after her. I feel Zach's arm on my shoulders and turn around to face him.

"Everything okay?" he slurs.

He is drunk too. Am I the only one who is sober after two drinks?!

"Yeah. Everything is fine. Why? Are you okay?" I giggle.

"Better than ever." He grins.

Tessa. That's Tessa's work. I saw what happened between them an hour ago but after that I think she left because her friends from Sydney were here. I know she only came for a little while just to wish to Ella but I guess she had other plans besides that... That girl, for sure knows what she is doing.

"I can tell." I smirk.

He nods.

"Where is my kangaroo?!" Cody shouts to Jacob as he came back from his slumber after Gale left him semi-conscious in a near chair.

I turn my head to watch them and I see Jacob widening his eyes at Cody as they exchange a few words before he runs off to the bathroom.

"My advice, you shouldn't give much into in the situation you are witnessing." Zach matters in my ear.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"You know what I mean. Someone in the end is going to get hurt and I am afraid it's not going to be him. You guys need to stop playing this game. Actually his game." he matters in all seriousness.

What the fuck?! He is not actually implying that I made up a game with the girls?! For fuck's sakes! I just figured out tonight what the hell is going on, on this messed up group and he is implying that I have a share on this!?

"I don't know what the hell you are talking about, Zach." I said with a glare as I removed his arm from me.

He signed worried at my response but I could see him regaining his consciousness back way to rapidly at that. He doesn't even seem drunk anymore.

"Look. I don't want anything with this. You guys do whatever you want. From what you said you are pretty close to Ella than anyone else in here and for what it seems you will get even closer. I mean she talks so openly with you when she knows you only for a week. She had to get on that level with us after a month...What I'm getting into is... that... you will get tangled in all this without you even realising it." Zach warned.

I don't want to know where he is getting with this. I really don't want too. I mean, yes, okay, Cody was pretty being a tease with me but it was just that, I don't think he was getting onto me. We've talked with Ella about him but every time the conversation goes to him she gets a gloomy look and changes the subject. As for Gale...I only met her today so I don't have anything to say for that matter.

"Believe me when I say this. I really don't know what you are implying but let me make this clear. I don't know what the hell is going on here but I don't want anything with it and I'm not playing any games whatever the hell that means..." I said sternly.

He nods at my response but nothing comes out of him after that. I move around Zach and try to make my way down to the bathroom to find Ella.

Jane is at the top of the stairs with Gale and I stop at my tracks.

"Where is Ella?" I asked concerned.

"Jacob took her home. She couldn't stay after she threw up, so I told him to take her home." Gale brushed off.

"You left her alone with a guy?! At that state?!" I shouted.

"Relax." Jane smiled. "Jacob is someone you can trust. He will not try anything. Besides it's not the first time he is being with Ella when she was in that state."

I make a face after I hear that. They can't be serious.

"Talk with Ella about that." Gale rolls her eyes at me and gets passed me.

I turn to Jane and she just shrugs.

I follow them back to the rest but I feel someone next to me clinging onto me.

"Hi, gorgeous." Cody smiles down at me.

"Hey." I smile at him.

What the hell is going on? I feel my heartbeat rise at his proximity and I try to control my breathing.

"How can you be so different at work and when you go out? Huh? Not going to lie, it's pretty hot actually. Serious at day. Crazy at night, especially with that dancing of yours. I like it." he whispers in my ear.

Shit... I didn't actually think he was paying any attention to me as he was pretty occupied.

I felt goose bumps all over my body after that comment. What the hell...

I widened my eyes at the realisation.

God...

Do I like the guy?
