Wednesday 6th February

All of us are dressed up and we head to the hall where the party is being held. We enter the building and as we do, Pops gives an excited squeal and tugs on me and Emily's arms.
"What are you doing you weirdo?" I laugh and remove myself from her grip. I see some guy on the other side of the hall give Poppy a wave and I bite the inside of my cheek, exchanging a look with Emily.

Poppy walks up to him and gives him a hug, making mine and Emily's look exchanging more intense.
Poppy signals for us to come over and we do.
I think I recognise him but I'm not quite sure.
He has short, straight brown hair, his skin is tanned and he's tall with blue eyes.
"Maddie, Emily, this is Tommy" Poppy blushes slightly as she introduces us to him.
That's it! Thomas Turner. Ella's brother.

"Good to see you again" he smiles and I nod awkwardly "and nice to meet you" he shakes hands with Emily before wrapping an arm around Poppy's waist. Poppy smiles up at him sweetly and I feel the urge to squeal but I hold it in.
"How long have you two been seeing each other?" I question.
"Just under a month" Tommy smiles down at Poppy, dimples showing as he does.
"Cute! And what are your intentions with my best friend who's basically my little sister?"
"Maddie" Poppy urges me to stop interrogating him but I don't.
"I just want to love her I guess"
"You guess? Is that not a bit fishy?" I furrow my brows.
"Alright that's enough" Emily chuckles nervously and drags me away. We decide to go and find ourselves some drinks so we can get hammered.

I get myself a raspberry vodka and go straight to the dance floor. I hear my phone buzz in my purse but I ignore it. Tonight I'm gonna be carefree and have fun. Screw you Billie O'Connell, I don't care. You can't get to me, bitch.

———

"I thought we had something" I drunk cry onto Emily's shoulder.
"Shhh it's okay, tonight's the night for fun, come on" she takes my hand and we start dancing.
"I think I love her" I sniffle as Emily pulls me into the dance floor.
"You do?" She stops in her tracks.
"I don't know" I sigh and shuffle along a bit, not making an effort to dance.

Eventually Em convinces me to dance and have fun. I don't know how she did it but I'm drunk and she's my best friend so I probably had some sort of mood swing and she took advantage of that.

I get a text from Billie.

Billie: hey...

Billie: I'm so sorry about
today

Billie: I swear I didn't mean
it

Billie: Please text me back

I put my phone back in my purse and continue dancing with Em. I actually start to feel happy and jump around to the next song that comes on. I see Emily go off with some tall guy but I don't care. I'm dancing and I'm drunk out of my mind.

After getting a 5th drink, my phone starts to repeatedly buzz and see Billie's contact flashing my screen.
"Maddie I want to say how sor-"
"Billieeeeeeee" I say happily into the phone.
"Bro are you drunk? Where are you?" I hear keys jangling on the other side of the line.
"I'm having fun without you!" I stress the 'without' part and continue 'whooping' to the song.
"Dude you're really fucking pissed"
"I knowwww. It's so funnn" I start shouting the lyrics to 'because we want to' by Billie Piper (bop).
"I'm coming to get you just tell me where you are"
"I'm fine I don't need you! Don't come get me. Bye Billieee!"
"Mads wai-" I hang up on her and continue dancing. I feel so good right now.

I chug the rest of my drink and some girl comes up to me.
"Hey" she shouts over the music.
"Hey!" I say enthusiastically "I'm Maddie"
"I'm Keira" she smiles "what happened?"
"What do you mean?" I slur my words
"No one gets this drunk for no reason." She bites her lip.
"Heartbreak" I shrug "but I'm over it"
"You're over it?"
"Yeah" I smile.

"Wanna fuck?" She smirks.
"Duh" I laugh drunkenly and let her take my hand. She leads me outside to her car and we climb in the backseats of her Range Rover.

———

"Fuck, babygirl" she smirks and I wink.
"See you around" I wobble out of her car and walk towards the hall. When I enter, I head straight for the chairs as I can't be assed to dance right now. I take out my phone

3 missed calls from Billie
1 voicemail (11:21pm)

It's currently 11:29. I click on the voicemail and hold the phone up to my ear.

"Hey I'm coming to get you. I checked to see what parties were on tonight and there's only one so expect me to be there in 10 minutes. See you in a minute" there's a brief moment of silence, it's clear she wanted to say something "bye"

I go outside to wait for her. I just want to go home. I feel less intoxicated now and more nauseous which I hate. I see bright lights approach me and I hear a car come to a stop.

"Get in the car." She says sternly and I furrow my eyebrows.
"You can't tell me what to do" I smirk.
"I said get in the car. Now."
I do as she says and climb into the passenger seat of her Dodge Challenger.
Half of the journey we sit in silence. My head is rested against the window, watching the trees go by.

"Why are you mad at me?" I frown.
"You're an idiot that's why!" She shouts and slams her hand on the steering wheel.
"How?" I question.
"You fucked someone you don't know!" She yells and makes angry eye contact with me and I just get more annoyed "do you know how dangerous that is? You're so vulnerable!"
"What? Were you watching or some shit?"
Billie takes a harsh inhale.

"No. When I called the second time, it picked up... you must've accidentally pressed on it. I heard about 2 seconds before I hung up..." she mumbles.
My heart drops and I turn to face away from her, looking out of the window yet again.
"Sorry... I'm an idiot..." I whisper
"You're not- I didn't mean that" an upset tone lines her voice.
"It's fine" I give her a sad smile "but why is that the reason you're so irritated?"
"...I wish it was- ...we'll talk about it later"

We arrive at my apartment complex and she walks me to my door. "This is me" I smile.
"Yeah... I know I come here a lot" she smirks.
"Sorry. That line is used in movies and I just kind of... wanted to use it?" I chuckle awkwardly to myself, still drunk. Billie brings me in for a hug and engulfs me tightly.

"I'm so so sorry" her voice breaks and she chokes on her words. I pull away and take her hand so she enters the apartment with me. I take her to the sofa and sit her down.

"I would never mean to hurt you. Ever. I don't know why I said that. I'm so so so sorry for what happened today I can't even forgive myself. I lost control and I lashed out on you. The truth is you're more than an experiment to me, Mads. I really like you. I really really like you" she sighs and squeezes my hand. "I just want you to forgive me..." she whispers so I can barely hear her.

"Thank you for telling me this... I know you didn't mean it. I forgive you" I say quietly.

"So is this what you do? Get drunk to get my attention?" She laughs and I put a hand over my heart to pretend being offended.
"Uhm excuse me just because you've seen me drunk twice over the past month does not mean that's how I get your attention" I slap her arm. We both share quick glances and blush as me laugh slightly.

After a while, Billie clears her throat before standing up.
"I should get going. Good luck with your hangover tomorrow and I hope you enjoy school" she smirks and I shoot her a glare.
"Fuck you" I smile and follow her to the door.

"Bye" she pulls me in for a last hug and I hug her back warmly.

"Bye" I wave as she enters the elevator and she blows a kiss which I catch and then I head back inside, only to feel sick and throw up in the toilet.
