BEFORE THE STORM-SKINS UK (G.2)

EPISODE 8.2

As everyone grabs one,the sun goes down and the shrooms kick in
We're all dancing around to some rap music,waving the sticks and admiring all the sparkles near the bonfire,high as ever

I ate about a cookie and four shrooms
It's very beautiful,everyone moves and moves and as they do so I start feeling all the effects
Freddie comes near me and blows some smoke in my face,then offers me the spliff
I take a drag and he laughs probably noticing of stoned I am
"I am so fucked" I hear Freddie say as he reaches me,but his voice doesn't sound normal...it's like in reverb
I chuckle
"Do I look fucked?" he asks
I laugh again
"Trish,I was just wondering...erm...why are avoiding me?"
"I'll tell you later,bye!" I smirk and walk away

I feel like everything is sooo slow,the voices arrive at me slowly and also the faces all melts together as everyone dances.Colors are so bright and everything feels like a weird dream
Until I feel disoriented and just wander around,but the bonfire looks so bright I just lay near it.I feel the heat from the fire and the earth beneath me,I look at the moon.
When I turn around,I see Freddie near me and Panda as well,I give her a little kiss on the cheek as I hug her
I close my eyes,in the between of sleeping and staying awake,I keep hugging Panda but I stick my hand out and allow it to reach Freddie's,we hold hands as I fall asleep
I wake up to a familiar voice

"I didn't want you here and you've ruined my night.I only invited you cos you could drive.You're embarrassing yourself,really,you are desperate for his attention "
I make out her face,it's Katie
"Katie!Come sit down"
"I'm not being nasty or anything.It just,it makes you look like a desperate whore"

She walks away and as I get up,Effy notices something

"Who moved the stuff?"she asks
"What?"
"Who moved the stuff?The bags have gone"
"What are you talking about?"
"For god's sake,this is not funny you,guys"Katie says
"Chill out,somebody-"

We hear a gunshot and quiet down,we hear another one

"Turn the music off"
Another shot
"Oh,shit!"
We hear something moving in the forest and more gunshots
"Turn everything off,now.Everything off!Quick!JJ get that fire out"

We all get together and stay silent as we hear some other noises
Until,we hear screams and see a light
Someone's coming towards us
My instinct kicks in,I grab a branch and knock the fucker off
Freddie goes near us and grabs him by the collar

"What the fuck you think you're playing at?You nearly had-"
He takes off the mask off him and it's Cook
"Jesus!" I say
"You fucking prick,I should fucking kill you"
"You scared the shit out of us"
"It wasn't me.There are psychos in the woods with a gun.I saw them nick your stuff so they started shooting"
"Shut up,joke's over"
"You scared us,you stupid fucking tosser"
"Alright calm down.I took your sodding knapsacks,children.They're just poachers"
"Poachers?"Emily asks
"After rabbits and shit,not you.I was just trying to freak you out"
"Why?"
"Cos I thought it would be funny and it totally was "Ooh,turn of the lights!Ohh,we're gonna die!"" he mocks us
Katie puts a foot on his chest
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
"I smell a shinding,I'm round"
"Yeah,well you weren't invited,so fuck off"
"Oh,but we're having such a nice time!Your tits look fucking mint from this angle,Kit-Kat"
"What is your FUCKING PROBLEM?"Freddie grabs him again
"Come on then,Rambo.What do you want my fucking blood?I don't have anything anymore,you've taken JJ,and now he's nicking her off me as well.She hasn't told you,has she?Fuck me!"
"What's going on?"
"Effy doesn't want me anymore .Do you princess?"
"No"
"So,why should we care anyway?" Katie asks "Whatever,I'm going for a walk" she adds
"Just go,man. No one wants you here.No one likes you.Just fucking go!"JJ says
"Do what he says,fuck off"
"Whatever,have nice lives,all of you,you coming?" He asks Effy,she shakes her head no
"Yeah just stay here,with your friends.Look at their little faces.You're all such whizzo chums,aren't you?Isn't that right Eff?Trish?Isn't that right,Panda?Panda's been worried lately,girls.Says you don't see each other as much as you used to.That right Panda,yeah?I said"Maybe if you didn't spend as much time with my cock in your mou-"
"SHUT UP!SHUT UP!Come on,Thomas,let's go" Panda freaks out
So,it didn't stop just at the party

"Stop,it's fine.I know"Thomas says
"Know?No...no...what...wait it was one time,right?At your party.It was only once,right?"Effy asks.Panda cries
"I need to sit down"she adds,I sit down next to her
"erm...sorry slugger" Cook says to Thomas "I don't think you heard.Me fucked your girlfriend,like,multiple times"
"What do you want me to say?" he answers
"I don't need you to say anything.Hit me.Come on!Come on,hit me!"
"You're such a sad little boy"

Thomas starts walking away
That is fucked up
Effy gets up and just walks away

"Thomas,please!I stopped it!I love you!Just give me a chance-"
"I have given you chances!And you have not taken and and lied to me!It's too late now!I fell in love with this girl.She was good,she was honest...and doughnuts.And now she's gone and this new one...I don't like her.She makes my heart hurt"

Panda punches Cook and then runs after Thomas
"Please,please,Thomas come back!"
Cook just laugh

As I'm sat,I feel tingling,I look at my arms and legs and there's something on me that I can't understand
"Trish,are you ok?" Freddie asks
"I'm really tripping,there's something on me"
"Trish,calm down"
"Get off me"I yell freaking out
Now a pair of hands are grabbing me,along with this feeling that bugs are walking on me
"Calm down!It's me"

I have to run,maybe they'll go away
I reach a isolated point,when I stop,I pant until I hear someone

"Who's that?" I ask
"Trish?Is that you?It's alright,it's me.Why are crying?" It's Katie
Am I crying?
"I...I don't know"
"Aw,look at you.You're totally monged,aren't you?Oh!"She exclaims
"What?" I ask panicked
"Fuck!There's loads of bugs in your hair"
"Where?Get them out!Get them off me!"

That is what I felt before then,while I'm freaking out I try to shake them off

"Trish!Trish!What are you doing?"
"The bugs!The bugs"
"What bugs?There's nothing there"

Oh I must've...imagined that,god I'm really tripping
I start laughing both relieved and a bit nervous,Katie does too
I notice someone walking towards us,it's Effy...she probably heard us
But Katie's laugh turns into a cry

"What...what's wrong?"
"Please,don't ruin it"
"What?"
"My party,it's already a shit...I cared about this"
"Hey,hey.Don't,don't do that" I hug her
"Get your fucking hands off me"she says
What the fuck? I let go of her

"You and your little friend,stop fucking ruining everything.You're life's so shit you want to crap all over mine?"
She goes to Eff,and pushes her to the ground
"Don't invite fucking psychos to my party"She's pushing her head to the ground
"And stop fucking everything up,you two.Ok?Cos I swear,babes,If I see you try and touch anything belongs to me ever again,I fill fuck you up.I said,ok?"

She slaps Effy and spits on her,that's enough.
I need to help my friend
I take a rock I found near and hit Katie with it,she falls to the ground
Fuck what have I done?
Effy gets up,we look at each other,without saying anything and she just walks away,shocked

I fall asleep,right there,I can't handle anything right now

When I wake up,not much time has passed
I'm better
Better than ever,actually
I feel numb,like nothing can hurt me
I start walking to the tents and as I do so I see Freds,asleep
He's laying on a blanket on the ground
He seems so peaceful
I go near him and touch his cheek

He wakes up suddenly,startled by me and is about to hit me when he recognizes me and stops
"Hit me" I say
"What?"
"Just once. I want to feel something.Hit me!I dare you"

And he does hit me,with a kiss
We start making out and we take off each other's clothes
I feel his hands going down my back as mine do so
As he lays down,I start kissing him,his neck,his chest,his abs and I go down to the v-line
I take his pants off and I blow him for a bit  before I start riding him

After we're finished,at least this time we were able to,we just lay there and cuddle ourselves to sleep

It was perfect,maybe a little too cold...but really nice, we had to cover our mouths so nobody would hear us,but whatever
It's really nice to just be here,in his arms,carefree
I don't want this to stop
I don't want tomorrow to come
Maybe...she'll be up and everything will be alright
I hope so
With that thought,I let Freds' breathing dull me to sleep
