The Junes | Liam Gallagher ° OASIS

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: GIGS

Amara was nearly shitting herself as they entered the Boardwalk's back entrance to avoid the crowds. She saw the boys hanging out together, having some pre-drinks and getting set up. The bands saw each other and the girls went over to them.

"Ready for your first performance?" Noel firstly asked, calmly and slung his arm around her shoulders. Amara wished she was calm like he was right now. She was buzzing inside, but at the same time felt sick.

"Yeah, I guess so.." she trailed off nervously.

"Nah, you'll do great babe. You're gonna smash it." He reassured her. For some reason, when he called her babe, Amara felt butterflies in her stomach as she smiled.

"There's my bird!" Liam laughed, approaching Amara with a grin. Noel removed his hand as she skipped over to Liam, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You're on in ten minutes I think."

"God, ten minutes! That's it?" Amara explained, "I need to get freshened up!"

"You look fit, Mara. Trust me," He told her, eyes trailing at her chest area with a grin, "Everyone'll love ya'."

She pulled him in for a hug, squeezing him tightly. She pressed her lips against his and pulled away, "I'll be two seconds okay? Need the bathroom."

Amara headed to the bathroom in an instant, opening the door to find Molly leaning over the sink. The girl looked up in a shock, some white powder was under her nose. Her dilated eyes widened, her mouth slightly opening in shock.

"Amara- hey-"

"Molly? What the bloody hell are you doin'?" Amara questioned, walking over to her. She saw her friend's wide pupils, the white stuff under her nose and a line of it was on the counter by the sink. "Are you takin' dru-"

Molly put her hand over Amara's mouth quickly, hushing her, "Keep your bloody voice down, will ya'! I don't want Lara hearin'."

Amara forcefully removed her hand, "Molly, were on in ten minutes! If you end up blackin' out or some shit then we won't get anywhere in life!"

"Calm down, Mari. I've done this bef-" Molly paused, realising she had just dug her own grave at this point. "Shit."

"Where did you get it from? Does Lara know? How long have you been takin' it?"

Molly put her face in her hands, groaning slightly, "Got it from Guigsy. He gave me some a bit ago when I went over to his once.. I'm only takin' it tonight 'cause I'm bloody shittin' myself! What if I mess up and ruin it for you and Lara.. I'd be mortified if I did-"

"Aw no Molly," Amara softened her tone, "You're amazin' at doin' what you do."

"Thanks," she smiled in return, "and I haven't told Lara about it..."

"Molly, you know how she feels about drugs.."

"You don't think I know that? God, even when I joke about it she's always up my arse!" Molly raised her voice a bit, "I'm not even addicted. I can stop whenever." She picked up the packet, a little bit of powder was left, she put it in her pocket.

They were silent for a second. Amara spoke up, "How does it feel?"

"What?"

"I mean- what does it make you feel like?"

"It's like a massive rush, for me at least. It different for everyone." Molly replied with a shrug, "First time I got really giddy. I was hoping to feel like that again."

Amara messed with her fingers behind her back, a bunch of thoughts rushing through her head. Molly didn't seem nervous as she was anymore compared to earlier when they were at the garage. Maybe Amara's nerves would go too. But, the effect drugs had on her dad worried her.. she didn't want to become like that.
