32 | blackout

Maddy closed the box and put it back with the other gifts, before going to the bathroom to make sure her mascara had stayed intact.

When she returned, they cut the cake, drank Rhys' homemade mojitos, which were mainly just rum and lemon juice, with mint leaves and half a lime dropped into the glass.

Soon enough, they were all stood by the door, sharing locations and turning their phones on to prepare for the best night out since Bella's eighteenth (in which Rhys had to be carried all the way home, Ethan was expected home by the police, Lorenzo fell asleep in a bush, and Madeline hooked up with the girl she'd been sworn enemies with since year 5).

I'd tell the story of Maddys birthday night out from her point of view, but it's all been a blur since washing the red dye out of her hair in the morning, and being so high that she thought for a second that she was bleeding out of her brain.

So we'll just talk about the highlights of the night.

Ethan met Maddys favourite actor of all time (Matthew gray gubler) but didn't recognise him and had a forty minute conversation with him before she finally came over and started flirting with him.

Lorenzo got his phone stolen when he asked a lamppost to keep an eye on it while he pet a cat across the street.

Rhys got into a fight (and won) with the guy who stole Enzo's phone and ended up in hospital with a broken nose, with Ethan (the designated responsible/sober-ish one of the group) looking after him while the other three partied.

Jackson saw Tony Stark walk into one of the quieter bars they went to, and tried to distract him whilst Lorenzo snuck Madeline out.

"So like, you know, I've heard that you've got a daughter." He said, trying his best to look and sound sober.

"Yeah, Morgan. She's only six. Little angel."

"Right, and what about your other daughter? Madison?"

"Madeline. Can I help you with something kid? You want an autograph?"

"Nah, I don't need an autograph. I've already got Madeline's lipstick signing my face every time she sees me." He laughed, before rushing out of the bar, and then realising that what he meant to say sounded nothing like what he actually said, so he went back inside. "I meant that like how she always kisses everyone on the cheek, I'm not her type."

"Good."

"Yeah, she's more into women and older guys. Good luck by the way." He smirked, patting Tony's shoulder, before once again running outside and stumbling down the street to meet with Lorenzo and Madeline.

Everything after that point wasn't even a blur, it was just completely blackout out for all of the group.

And boy did they feel it when they woke up.

Rhys was still in hospital, and had slept in an uncomfortable bed while Ethan slept in an even more uncomfortable chair next to him.

Lorenzo woke up in a bush in Central Park.

And Jackson woke up in Madeline's hotel room, only Madeline wasn't there.

She had woken up in Stark tower. In someone's else's bed.

Authors note: I'm in the uk but my heart goes out to the girls, the gays, and the theys in America. I can't imagine having trump as a president and finding out that some of my basic human rights would be taken from me. I hope you're all doing okay, I recommend joking the 4B movement if you'd like to really make a change and prove a point. If you're unaware of what that is please look it up, there are actually some very educational posts about it on TikTok. Please support the people around you, and yourself.

And if you're one of the people who voted for trump: gtfo ion want braindead morons to have the privilege of reading a Wattpad book written by a traumatised sixteen year old girl who's first language is not English (I fear I might fit the stereotype a lil too well)

Love u pookies xx take care of yourselves!!
