"It's been a couple of months now and I guess you can go to the party under two conditions," Bridgette declared to her husband, Geoff, "One, I have to come with you and two you'll have to listen to this song about a struggle to overcome alcoholism. The song is Chandelier."
"I am up to anything," Geoff said. Bridgette played the song. "This is really good," he commented.
"Yeah, it is," she agreed.
Later At The Party
Geoff, Bridgette and many other of the friends were mingling. Everyone except Geoff and Bridgette had an alcoholic beverage or a beer. "Hey sweetie. I'll be back. I'm going to go catch with my friends," Bridgette said as she tapped his nose and planted a small kiss on his cheek. She walked away leaving Geoff in the hands of their friends.
"Dude, why don't you have a drink?" asked a guy named Rick.
"You know that I'm a recovering alcoholic," Geoff replied matter-of-factly.
"One drink can't kill you," another guy named Brendon.
"That's true," Geoff reasoned, "I'll get a drink then." One drink became two. Two drinks became three, four, five and many more numbers.
"Duuudeeeeee," Geoff slurred, "My wife made me listen to this song. It said to swing from the chandelier."
"Cool," both Rick and Brendon replied too drunk to think logically, "Let's get you going."
Ten Minutes Later
"I'm back G...What the hell are you doing?" Bridgette asked shouting looking at Geoff swinging from a chandelier literally and many people cheering.
"Remember, that song," he slurred, "I followed the lyrics exactly."
"It was a figure of speech!" she shouted, "How did you get up there?"
"Well," he said.
Flashback Time!
Geoff is seen climbing a ladder going towards the expensive chandelier. He sat down on it and started swinging side to side. A crowd of people gathered around him cheering him on.
"Yeah dude," encouraged a woman.
"You go!" shouted a male.
"My chandelier! But you go!" shouted another male.
"Whoa!" shouted Geoff.
Flashback Time Finished
"Again, it was a figure of speech!" she shouted her facing turning red and her body shaking in anger, "Get down, now! This party is over. Everybody out!"
Everyone who attended the party left the house. Even the owner of the house left. Geoff fell from the chandelier and brought it down with him just as owner re entered his house. "You're going to replace that" the owner yelled.
Geoff stood up and went over to Bridgette. She immediately smelled the alcohol on his breath. "You've been drinking," she whispered.
He responded by falling into a deep sleep in her arms.
A/N:
Me: Just a silly little one shot using my new favourite song. Yes, I know it's a serious song but I have always wondered if anyone took the lyrics literally and put Geoff in that spot. No flames because of this I beg you. Peace out!
