I JUST WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE, that's honestly all I wanted. I spent most of my time locked up in my room, ignoring anyone who tried to contact me. I just tried to pass time by taking drugs and so on. It was hard to imagine what my life would be like if I just stayed sober for more than a day. I hated being sober, as fucked up as that sounds. As I thought about my life, a text popped up from Effy on my phone.
Effy: Party, you coming?
I sighed as I rolled out of my bed, changing the clothes I was wearing before I slid on some trainers. I made my way down my stairs and outside to meet her. She was standing in front of my house with Pandora, and some new lad I had never seen, as I neared them, he smiled at me, "Thomas, so nice to meet you," He said to me, shaking my hand. He had a thick accent, one I have never heard before.
"Oh, hello, Thomas... I'm Harper, it is so nice to meet you too," I replied, smiling at him. I looked over to Effy and Pandora, "So, where are we going?"
"Uh, some party Cook told us about... He didn't mention it to you?" Effy said to me, her head tilted to the side.
I scoffed after I heard his name, "Haven't spoken to him lately," I grumbled before I just brushed it off, "Can we just go now?" I changed my mood quickly, just trying to move past the Cook subject. I followed the three of them, Effy leading the way, Katie and Emily met us halfway to continue walking with us. We finally got to where Cook told Effy to meet him in an ill-written text. I noticed the three silhouettes of the boys.
"Girls! We were just talking about breasts and here you are!" Cook smiled at us as we finally got close to them.
"Tosser," Katie spat at him, I nodded in agreement with her statment.
Cook nonchalantly walked over towards me, it was like he forgot that he was trying to shag every one of my mates, he put his arm around my shoulders, leaning close to me, "Evening, babe," He whispered to me, I looked up at his face, saying nothing in return.
Effy pointed over at Thomas, "This is the guy you're gonna help out tonight," Effy mentioned.
"So glad," Thomas said, excitement in his voice, he seemed like a wonderful guy, just so happy about everything.
"Thomas has gotta get 300 quid by tomorrow, otherwise Johnny white's gonna make him eat-" Pandora started to explain to us, but, she was cut off by Freddie as soon as he heard Johnny White's name.
"Johnny White?" Freddie asked her. Johnny was the gangster from the engagement party that Cook ruined.
"He's got 13 ounces of weed in the bag," Effy said, pointing at his bag, he held it up, opening it, presenting the baggies of weed in it.
"If you'd help, I could give you much. It's excellent weed," Thomas was estatic.
It was at this time that I just gave into Cook, I was leaning myself against him, my head finding a place to rest against his shoulder, he seemed content with this when it happened. Naomi had just arrived at this time, "Hi," She announced her presence, and Katie just got annoyed the moment she saw her, I could tell by the look on her face.
"Hi, Naoms," I looked over towards her, smiling at her, she returned the smile.
Katie let out a sigh, "Oh, Christ, not again. Who phoned her?" Katie complained, causing me to let out an annoyed groan, I didn't feel like listening to her complain about Naomi.
Emily didn't feel like hearing it either, "Katie, please don't," She attempted to plead with her sister.
Naomi came to a stop, standing next to Effy, she studied the group, "Sorry, couldn't find a bus... You said someone needed a hand?"
