~Becky's P.O.V~
After dad finally got off the table, the music started blasting and everyone cheered. I'm gonna be honest, I think this was just another excuse for dad to throw a massive party. But it's also an excuse for alcohol and dancing, so I'm fine with that.

We were dancing to ourselves in the garden when a drunk Uncle Roger came hobbling over with a drink in one hand, and Uncle Brian's in the other.

"Hi!" He yelled at me. I laughed at the sight of seeing him completely pissed, and waved.

"Hello! Are you drunk?" I shouted back.

"Very!" Brian yelled. He looked at Roger and shook his head. Brian's sober to a point, but Rog definitely isn't.

"Hush!" Roger turned to Brian and kissed him right on the lips to shut him up. I burst out laughing and doubled over in hysterics.

"Ha! That's so gay!" Dad walked over and stood watching, but immediately fell over into the pond. My stomach ached from laughter, as dad sat in the fishpond. Joe and Ben were standing back laughing, Brian was in shock, and Roger was giggling to himself.

Everyone kinda left dad confused in the pond, so I held out my hand for him and he dragged me in with him. There I was, in his T-shirt, lying on top of him in the fishpond. Ben and Joe couldn't contain their laughter and Brian was panicking.

"Oh my god, Fred! You can't do that! She just got out of hospital!" He yelled. Aw, he cares about me. I laughed and got up, leaving dad alone in the pond. He can get out himself. He struggled to stand up but he eventually managed to climb out.

"I'm hungry." He rubbed his belly and marched inside, leaving me, Joe and Ben standing by the pond. The cold water was dripping off me, and I shivered as the wind hit my body.

"Maybe you should get changed!" Joe yelled. I folded my arms and punched him. Note to self: don't ever wear a T-shirt worth a lot of money while dad is drunk.

"Come on, wanna get some food? I'm hungry too." I shouted over the music.

"Yeah! Pizza!" Joe yelled. We went inside and over to the table, grabbed a paper plate each and a slice of pizza.

We all took a bite at the same time and stopped after the first chew. I looked at them, then at my plate, and all 3 of us, in sync, immediately spat it back out.

"What the fuck was that?!" Ben said after dumping his plate in the bin.

"I have no idea... but I need a drink. That was awful!"

Whatever we just ate made me lose my appetite completely. I can't even explain the taste. It didn't taste like pizza so god knows what we just ate.

We all went into the kitchen, which was much quieter than the living room, and I put the kettle on.

"Um... Becky." Joe said. I turned and saw him standing holding up a bag. "This is cannabis."

My fave lit up as I snatched the bag from his hand. Three leaves were wrapped in a plastic covering.

"Should we..? Dad won't know it was us, I mean, him and everyone else is drunk as fuck, plus, it could be anyone. Have you seen how many people are here at this party?"

"I was gonna anyway you didn't need to try and convince me." Joe snatched the bag from my hand and started making 3 cups.

"How do you know how to do that?" I asked, laughing.

"Don't ask." He giggled and handed me a cup.

"Cheers." We clinked the cup and took a sip.

Ben swallowed loudly and pulled a face.

"God, that's awful." He said. It wasn't actually that bad, it's better than I thought it'd be.

We all downed the cup in a matter of seconds, and everything started to go strange. Everything around me was much brighter, the colours stood out much more. Joe was staring upwards and smiling. Ben was just standing still, looking very confused.

"How do you feel?" I asked them. Joe stayed silent, and Ben laughed.

"I don't know... but it feels great." He said.

"I know, it's weird. Let's go." We went into the living room and danced. A lot. Until the early hours of the morning.
