The Alternitive (Skins U.K.)

Chapter 2 Some time later

Three months later.

Summer was over, Pandora and Thomas were back together and going to Harvard University in the states. JJ and his girl friend, the one with the baby were going to move in together in a few weeks. Naomi and Emily were finally happy to be back to the way things used to be, they moved out of Naomi's mother's house into a tiny one bedroom apartment, they were even closer now.

Cook rested his arm around Effy's neck, she wrapped her skinny arm around his waist. They had only been seeing each other again for a few weeks, but Effy wasn't completely over Freddie. Effy's eyes were glazed over, she'd been back to old habits from Cook. Cook was wild and upbeat but Effy wanted to go home.

It was six a.m. now and Effy woke up on the dance floor, pissed that she was still in the shity dance club from the night before, she went searching for Cook.

"Cook! Cook?" She repeated hundreds of time, her voice was cracking as she stumbled around. She went into the the bathroom.

Effy opened the first stall. "What the fuck?" Cook had a cute little blond pined up, she legs wrapped around him. Cook didn't even stop. Effy vomited on Cooks feet.

Effy stood up, wiped her mouth and stumbled out. She picked up her phone dialed JJ.

"Hello? Effy?" JJ asked confused and half asleep.

"Hi JJ, can you come get Cook?" She said as if she was worried but sounded numb.

"What about you? Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine. He's at the club."

"Which one?"

Effy hung up and stated for home.

Her mom ran out with a blanket. She opened the gate. She tightly warped Effy and walked her upstairs. Her mom undressed her and put her in the bath. She went into Effy's room and laid out a T-shirt and underwear, she pulled back the corner of the comforter, she went back into the bathroom and dried Effy. She then helped Effy dress and put her to bed.

Effy awoke to pebbles hitting her window, she walked over and looked down. It was Cook.

She walked back to bed and lied down. A minute later her window opened.

"Why aren't you dressed love?" Cook said.

"What do you want?" Effy asked still pissed off.

"I want to go, now get something sexy on." Cook laughed.

"I'm not going anywhere tonight. Goodbye Cook." Effy replied

"What's your problem babe?" Cook ask stupidly.

"Piss off!"

Cook left out the window.

Effy stayed depressed for a week before her mom took her back to the hospital.
