What If I Can't Forget You??

Open Bottles of Beer But Never Champagne

Open Bottles of Beer But Never Champagne

Song for this chapter- Drunk by Ed Sheeran

****

After Pizza Hut, we went to the cinema to see the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. I fell asleep halfway through it, but Ella woke me up by throwing some popcorn in my face.

As we left the cinema, Mike and Fierra were holding hands, as were Skyler and Vic. I could tell that Jaime liked Saffy, he wouldnt stop smiling and his eyes never left her for a minute. There was something on my mind, something not right. 

Ella gets on well with the girls, and it's nice to see her smile when she's with them.

"Tony, Ell, you coming to the club for a few?" Vic called to us from the opposite end of the pavement. We were walking at our own paces. I looked at Ella and she shrugged.

"Why not?" she laughed.

"You bet!" i said to him. Vic gave a cheeky wink.

"So I take it you enjoyed the movie? Couldnt have snored any louder" Ella said to me

"Fuck off you" i laughed, and she smiled, showing her perfectly straight teeth. It wasnt long before we made it to the club.

I was quite sober to be honest. No, who am i kidding? i was wrecked and i was loving it. Safe to say i wasnt quite as bad as Mike. He was ontop of the bar singing and dancing and giving everyone a good laugh. Ella stuck by me, she doesnt like places like this, with lots of people. Especially drunk people. I had just bought us both another drink when i heard someone tap on a microphone. I turned, along with everyone else, in the direction of the sound and had to try and hold my sniggers in. It was Mike, on the karaoke stage. 

"Before i sing..." he slurred "I'd just like to say my girlfriend Fierra is the most beautiful girl in the world" he was swaying slightly but the room awww'd and all the attention was still on him. Mike doesnt strike me as a karaoke kind of guy, but alcohol can do all sorts to people.

"And next" he said, his voice shaking "a shoutout to my friend Harry in the corner there!" he pointed towards the fire exit, which had nobody surrounding it at all. Heads turned to see where he was pointing and people laughed when they saw there was nothing there. Typical Mike, getting absolutely pissed within hours of leaving the house. "You rock Potter!" he yelled, and lost control of the mic causing it to fall to the ground. And if you've ever been within earshot of a microphone falling you'll know the horrific high pitched noise it makes. Ella covered her ears and pulled a face, i just laughed. Mike does not know how much he's embarrassing himself. Just wait till he's sober and we tell him. 

"Whoops, my bad" he muttered as he picked it up "There's no music for this song, so i'll be singing alone. Feel free to join in if you know the words" he said, waving his free hand around beside him. What is he going to sing...?

"You know that i love sheepcats baby" he belted out, the microphone feedback making a few people cover their ears. "Sheepcats in the rain" 

He had his eyes shut and was really getting into it when Vic and Jaime ran on the stage at either side of him and tried to take the microphone out of his hands. They struggled, while Mike managed to fit in the next line. 

"I fucking love sheepcats in the rain... sheepcats" 

Ella had her hand across her mouth and she was trying not to laugh, but i couldnt help it. Vic and Jaime were trying to untangle the microphone wire from his arm and legs, where he had managed to tie himself up. Through the mic, you could hear them murmor. 

"Mike what the fuck are you doing" this was definitely Vic. "get down from here, you're embarassing yourself"

"and that's my song!" Jaime threw in. "copyright!"

"I wanna sing my song to the world" Mike slurred, swaying from side to side as the boys untangled him. 

"Sing it when you're fucking sober and can string a full sentence together Mike" Vic was saying. 

This was it for Ella, she burst into fits of laughter. I joined her, and when we finally recovered, the stage was clear and the people around us had gone back to what they were doing beforehand.

"Now that" she laughed. "was entertainment!"

When i look at her, it's just...

"Vic looked mortified, i hope someone got that on tape!" 

"Play that back to him in the morning and he'll never get wasted again" Ella said, before changing her mind. "On the otherhand, it's Mike. He'll get wasted no matter what"

"Fair point!" I put in.

"Lets go find him and see what's going on"

"Yeah, Jaime and Vic need all the help they can get controlling him tonight"

"Wish Fierra luck!"

Ella was tired after a late night, so we decided to leave the club and head home. Vic had managed to keep his brother under control for approximately 4 minutes before he ran back off into the wild aka the crowds in the club. 

Ella and I were walking down the street, about 4 blocks from our house, when i realised what had been bugging me all this time. I want a relationship with someone, but I want a friendship with them too. I dont like relationships that are only physical. A relationship shouldn't be all about kissing, making out and sex. I just want to hang out with them and have a good time and go to random places and just have fun wherever we go. I honestly feel i could have this with Ella, but she wouldnt feel the same way. I dont want to make a fool of myself, so I keep quiet.

Her sweet voice broke the silence.

"Whatcha thinking about Tony??" she took my hand in hers and started swinging our arms as she walked. This was Ella, she was so quirky, so caring. But she could tell when i was thinking about something, and thinking too hard about it too.

"Nothing.." i answered. Short and sweet should do the trick. 

"Tony do i look like i'm thick as fuck? How long have i known you? four, five years? I think I'd know when something was up." 

"I just, I don't want to say"

"Listen, we've both had a few to drink, I wouldnt say we were sober but i wouldn't say we were exactly DRUNK, but you know what they say, the truth comes out when you're tipsy"

"Ella I think I'm in love with you..." i blurted out. She dropped our hands, and mine flew to my face, covering my mouth. What have i just done??
