Hollyoaks - Warrens Daughter {COMPLETE}

29. {Edited}

As I stormed out the flat I bumped into Joel, "Hey what's wrong?" He asked me. Without even making eye contact I carried on walking past him, I walked into school, I was late but I just didn't care anymore. 

I walked in and down the corridor, at the end of the corridor was Hunter, stood there with Neeta. He looked at me "El it's not-"

 "Just leave me alone Hunter" I said as I walked past the two. 

As I carried on walking to my class I heard Miss St Claire "El, your late again", I turned around to see her 

"Yeah I'm sorry Miss I just have a lot happening" 

She sighed "listen El, I know you have a lot on but you can't let this interfere with school. If you're late again you'll get a detention".  Today wasn't my day, everyone's coming at me. Dad, Hunter, Miss St Claire, anybody else want a turn?  I ran out of school, I couldn't be there. I - I just had to run. I walked into price slice and saw the alcohol sitting on the shelf, I slowly took one and put it in my bag, no one noticed. Luckily. I went to the folly, I just needed time by myself, I opened the bottle of alcohol, I started to drink it as tears rolled down my face. 

Soon enough half the bottle was gone, I heard footsteps behind me. I tried to clear away my tears but I couldn't in time. I cleared my vision to see Joel, stood there, looking sympathetic.

"Don't look at me like that, like I'm a victim of some sort" I say to him with a slur in my voice due to me being drunk.

"What are you doing?!?" He said 

"Why do you care" I said 

"What?" He replied 

"You don't care, Dad for sure doesn't care, school don't care, Hunter doesn't care, the list goes on and on, I mean I heard it from the man himself, I'm responsible for what happened to Sienna, I'm the reason she collapsed today" 

"Of course I care El, dad told me what happened, we don't blame you for anything" 

"But dad-" 

"Dads an idiot" he said as I let out a laugh at his statement 

I carried on drinking the alcohol, Joel stared at me in concern"Come on El, you don't need that" Joel begged 

"I do" I said back, forcing my way away from him, It didn't help much as he managed to snatch the bottle from my hand and smashed it on the floor.

"Hey what the hell are you doing?!?" I say as I push him and crouch to the broken bottle on the floor

"It's for your own good El" Joel said 

"NO ITS NOT! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE" I say with furious tears falling down my face.

"Hey El it's okay" he said while he pulled me in for a hug. 

I collapsed in his arms and cried into his chest, "I just want it to stop, just for a bit" I muttered into his chest. 

"It will El, I promise, let's get you home"
