Chapter five

Katie's POV

"Alright daddy?" I ask sarcastically with a bright smile. He just stands there scolding me with his eyes as he speaks. "Don't you daddy me. You're supposed to be back at home. You're grounded as I recall." He points out firmly. "As I recall, you didn't tell we where I was grounded to" I point out cheekily. "Don't get smart with me!" he exclaims. I try not to laugh at his expression, as my friends all send me warning looks. "Emily, are you drunk?" exclaims Marion. "p-p-p-party" Emily starts to say but ends up falling off the table and landing on the floor. "I'm OK!" she shouts as she quickly jumps back up onto her feet.

I burst out laughing as Lizzie, Alex and Beth try to keep a straight face. "Do you know what Lewis. You have a sexy body, and I dream about you every night" Emily slurs. By now I'm in hysterics and the rest of my friends are trying to keep a straight face and Lewis has gone bright red. Paul quickly runs over to his daughter and picks her up. "I think you need to go to sleep" he states as he heads to the stairs. "I don't want to. I want to stay here where I can watch Lewis" Emily whines and I laugh even harder and my friends finally give in and laugh as well. "Bethany. March" Lewis orders as he points towards the door. "Eye, eye captain" Says Beth and I manifest a pirates hat and a toy parrot that's perched on her shoulder.

"This is serious you know!" Lewis exclaims and I just keep laughing. That was until Marion spoke. "Who brought alcohol into my home?" Marion asks pissed off. All my friends point at me and I roll my eyes. "So much for best friend secrecy and stick together oath" I state. "It doesn't extend this far Katie." Lizzie points out. I turn back to the adults and by now my dad's face is almost red with fury. "Katie. We are going to have major words" Dad hissed and I just blipped myself out of there and you'd never guess where to? China.

Lizzie's POV

"Elizabeth! We are going home right now!" my mother demands as Beth and Lewis leave the house. This is going to be serious I can tell, she used my full name. I didn't answer her back because when it came to my mum, if you said anything it could be used against you. So I took my right to remain silent as we left the house. I was about to get into the driver side door of my car when my mother spoke. "Oh no you don't. as part of your punishment I'm taking the car off of you. So go get in the passenger seat" she orders as she snatches the keys from my hands. "But mum-" I start before she buts in. "No buts Elizabeth, get in now before I make the punishment even worse" she states and I shut up quickly and slide into the passenger side of the car.

Alex's POV

We had just got home after a very awkward car ride. "Alex, I can't believe you did that. I expected better of you" my mum says and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. "Are you being serious? I bet you've done worse; in fact from the pictures I've seen and your journals, you have done a LOT worse than me" I point out. I see her curse to herself as my dad looks at me. "Alex, it doesn't matter what your mother has done in the past. Right now this is about how inappropriate that was and that you shouldn't be drinking at your age" he points out logically.

"Is this the right time to say that I'm out on a date tonight?" I ask and my mum shoots a look at me. "A date? Who with?" she asks and I smiles as I picture that gorgeous welsh man in my head. "James, he's a warden as well; and he's welsh" I say, emphasizing the welsh part. "Good choice." My mother congratulates me. I laugh slightly as my dad rolls his eyes.

Beth's POV

"Beth. I know you've had a hard life, but drinking isn't going to solve anything and taco fights are very immature. I always thought that you were the more mature one amongst you and your friends." He starts lecturing me but I quickly swerve the conversation. "Hey Uncle Lewis, I'm just going to go say hello to my friend over there" I say as I point over to some random fit boy. I quickly walk over to him and smile. "Pretend you know me, please. My Uncle is lecturing me" I beg and he laughs and agrees. He was good looking with strong facial features. He was about 5"10 had amazing brown eyes that glimmered in the setting sun. His hair was brown and short and spikey. He looked as if he worked out regularly and he couldn't have been much older than 16.

"Hey, I'm Joe" he introduces himself and I accept his out stretched hand. "I'm Beth" I say and I see him smile; his teeth are straight and are white, they were perfect just like him. "So Beth, seeing as I'm your cover; I was wondering if a gorgeous girl like you would like to go on a date some time. You know, just to get to know each other better" he asks and I agree and I give him my phone number. We keep talking for a few more minutes before Uncle Lewis said it was time we got heading home. I said goodbye to Joe before heading back home with Lewis.

Emily's POV

"Oh, but daddy. I love my friend and it was really fun and I think I like vodka" I say and my dad just watches me as me manoeuvres around the room, collecting blankets and passing me a glass of water. "Emily, drink the water. It will help with the sobering up and the dehydration" My dad states as I take a sip. "Only time can sober me up" I point out. He just chuckles slightly. "Still a smart ass, even if your drunk" he states as he passes me a sick bowl. "Why do I need this?" I slur. "Because you're going to be sick" he states confidently. "No I'm no-" I start but end up being sick. "Smart ass" I mutter as I wipe my mouth with a tissue.

"That's why you don't drink and by the way, I would appreciate it if you kept your dreams to yourself Emily" He says before walking out the door and leaving me to try and sleep. Never going to happen. I'm too hyper and giddy to go to sleep. But then I realise that the sooner I'm asleep, the sooner I can picture Lewis. That was enough motivation for me to at least try and sleep.
