Back at it.

"Hi Chrissy." He smiled.

Oh my gosh. His smile was to die for! Gosh. Where have you been hiding my whole life? Well lets hope he wasn't hiding in a closet because I wanted to get to know him more.

"So your friend is completely gone. I think she needs to go home now." Eric said lifting her heavy head up and letting it go.

"Yeah I should probably go outside and call a cab." I took my phone out from my pocket and began walking outside.

"Here, I'll go with you." Eric said following me out the bathroom and out the pub.

I dialled a cab and they said they would be out in 20 mins to get us.

While I was on the phone I saw a little light flicker from in between Eric's hand.

Cigarettes.

Something I wasn't attracted to at all but when I saw Eric do it, I was actually intrigued by it.

"Okay. Thank you so much." I ended the call & looked at Eric smoking away his lungs.

"You smoke?" He asked.

"Never have I tried it so I guess that's a no." I chuckled.

"Try it," he smirked. "If you don't like it, you can always toss it away."

"Okay." The evil in me responded.

He handed me one and just like I had seen in many movies and pictures, I slipped it in between my index finger and middle finger. The way you held a cigarette told a lot about you & this right now, told him I was a rookie trying to look like I knew was I was doing.

He stepped closer to me with his lighter and lit me up. I saw a spark fly into the cigarette and I inhaled.

I didn't know if I had to keep it in or just inhale and exhale right away but again, I brought up my knowledge in movies and remembered that people would keep it in and even talk a bit before exhaling. And that's what I did.

I kept in the nicotine a bit before blowing out smoke into the sky.

"Congrats, that was officially your first smoke exhale." Eric applauded me.

"Thank you. Thank you." I inhaled again and exhaled the rest.

A couple minutes after, I was to the butt of it & flicked it onto the floor and stepped on it to finish off the fire within it.

"Let's go back in." Eric opened the door and motioned me to go before him.

When we returned to the bathroom Art was just standing next to a sleeping Audrey not caring how many girls looked at him weirdly.

"What time is the cab coming?" He asked.

"They said about 20 minutes. And that was about 15 minutes ago. So I think we might as well head out now." Eric told Art.

"Alright then." He said as he picked up Audrey in a threshold style and walked out. Behind Eric and I.

I turned back and noticed that Audrey was in fact awake! She wrapped her arms around Art & laid her head on the crook of her neck.

That little slag. I laughed to myself. She was slick.

We left behind all the sweating bodies and intoxicated minds. Everyone there had a purpose. Some to forget, others to remember, and some to create something. No one knew exactly which one they were there for but everyone certainly found out towards the end of their adventure. I was towards the end of mine but didn't know which one I was here for.
