CARLAS POV:
As I'm sat on a table with Johnny, Jenny, Michelle, Kate and Aidan in the bistro, I can't help but feel tempted.
Tempted for a drink...no one would ever know.
Well no one apart from Roy even knows the reason I'm not drinking in the first place. There's so many rumours and fucked up shit going round as to why I'm not having my classic red wine. But of course I'm in weatherfield, someone's always going to be stirring shit up.
"Come on Carla have a drink you know you want to!" Michelle drunkenly shouts putting a cocktail towards me.
"Carla it's New Year's Eve and your not drinking...right you got to tell me the truth now alright. Are you pregnant?" She adds coming towards me to ask me the ridiculous question.
Her intention was to tell me quietly so no one actually heard although she practically shouted it making me feel slightly uncomfortable.
"What?! No of course not. stop being so stupid..." I reply.
"Well it's nothing serious then just take it! I want my best mate back!" She slurs.
"No michelle, I don't need to get drunk to have a good time"
"Chelle leave her she's told you she doesn't want one" Johnny pipes in clearly heard the conversation and establishing I needed to be saved.
I sigh and move to the bar "Um can I have one of those cocktails I had the other day Daniel?" I ask him.
"I hope that cocktail doesn't have alcohol in" I hear a matured voice.
"Ugh no Roy, I've told you I don't need anyone's input. In fact, I think I'm just gonna go back to Devin tomorrow first thing" I murmur.
"I hope that's not on my account. I'm just concerned Carla you need you family you're just to stupid and selfish to realise! If something happened and your family didn't know they'd be devestated as will I!" Roy looses his temper at me.
I walk away back to my table quite hurt that Roy of all people managed to get annoyed by me...
AUTHORS POV:
Meanwhile, Michelle in her drunken haze had ordered another bottle of vodka to bring the new year in. "What are you doing?" Kate asks her as Michelle pours the vodka into Carlas orange juice that was just ordered for her.
"Making this night more fun what do you think?!" She answers.
"Chelle you can't do that, Carlas obviously not drinking for a reason you could cause serious damage" Kate seriously warns her but it was too late.
Carla comes to to sit down who previously cancelled her nonalcoholic cocktail because Johnny ordered her the orange juice.
"This nights about to go with a bang! I tell you what Kate, you don't know drunk Carla as well as me. Trust me, you'll love it" Michelle sniggers drunkenly getting excited.
CARLAS POV:
As I took a large gulp of the orange juice I knew it tasted funny.
Yep, I new exactly what.
My taste buds were jumping up and down in rythm.
My head says no but my heart says yes.
I couldn't resist, this was what I needed.
I actually started to believe this was good for me.
I felt so free. It felt as if I was locked into a cage and couldn't get out.
I drink all of the orange juice...
"Eh Chelle? Order us a bottle of wine!" I shout.
I was still sober...but I wouldn't be for long.
"Yes this is how I like it!" She laughs going to the bar and helping herself to a wine bottle.
"Carla I hope that's not for you" Roy butts in.
"You know what Roy I can't handle this anymore, fuck it I'm having it you can't stop me"
"You can die. Why can't you see the seriousness to the situation!" He yells.
"Because not all of us are as boring and matured as you Roy or in other words old. Run along" I smerk pouring myself a large glass of wine and quickly drinking it down then pouring another.
And another...and another...and another...
11:30pm
"Wooo come on dance with us car come on!" Maria shouts over to where Michelle, Kate and Maria are dancing.
Michelle comes over to pull me up and I get a funny turn.
"Carla?" Michelle asks.
"What's happened to your skin?" She says shockingly staring at me and everyone looks over speechless.
My usual tanned complexion now has a tint of yellow to it and my eyes are red and sore.
"Carla!" Johnny yells coming over to me as my legs give away and I fall to the ground.
"Carla talk to me" he adds.
"It hurts..." I whisper.
"It hurts" I say louder before moaning and crying.
"What hurts love? Come on what's wrong?" He questions.
My eyes rolls back, my eyelids suddenly feel very heavy and I was to go into a deep sleep.
"Come on stay awake Carla" Michelle cries.
"Someone call an ambulance!" Aidan shouts coming over followed by an emotional Kate.
"How'd this happen?" Johnny angrily shouts.
"She was just being herself I don't know" Michelle says.
"You gave her alcohol Michelle...this could be the reason why she couldn't drink it?!" Kate realises.
"What are you going on about you silly cow she doesn't turn yellow cuz she's had a drink" Michelle defensively replies.
"You better be right..." Johnny mumbles.
There I've done it, sorry it's very crappy I'm not the best writer. Sorry for any grammar mistakes too...I think Carlas secret is a liver problem due to alcohol so I thought I'd write this. Please leave any kind of reviews ️
