Chapter Ten: One Night Stand
It was getting darker and they were getting drunker. As Tessa kept popping pills in and spiking random people's drinks including her own.
"I think you had enough Theresa" Brendan commented, as she looked totally out of it. She was not rowdy just very 'zoned out'. Tessa eyes kept closing and shutting, as she took another drink.
"You're not my father" Tessa replied,dropping her painkiller in her sister's drinks by accident. Joel took the drinks away, as he saw her drop those pills.
"Hey, what you doing; I paid for those" Tessa attempted to grab then back. As she stood up, staggering over to the other side. As she picked up this passed out guys drinks, as he was slumped on the couch.
"Hey" the guy rose from the couch, as he snatched his drink back though he dropped it soon after making it smash on the ground.
"Tessa, what you doing?" Angela asked, as she walked over. She was slowly turning into Pauline Hay. Getting drunk every chance she gets, popping pills and willing to sleep with guys just for a drink or drugs.
"Go home Angela! You're not my mother!" Tessa shouted, she had a lot of mood swings when she was drunk or on drugs.
"You're right I'm not but you are turning into her!" Angela snapped, as she gave her sister a slap then stepped back.
"Pot kettle black" Tessa snarled, feeling the side of her face.
"You know what, I'm going home; have fun with your new mate" Angela hissed before turning around and storming down the club stairs. On the way to Ste and Amy's home, she was sober. Sober enough to walk herself home at least.
"Come to me place, I got some drugs like" the guy spoke to her, his name was Keith and he was a pretty decent looking guy though the amount of drugs he takes. He is slowly losing his good looks.
"Cool, then let's go" Tessa slurred.
"Tessa, come on" Joel spoke behind her, he noticed that she was going to end up doing something she regretted.
"John is it? Or was is Joe? Anyway, Joe, John whatever your name is; I'm capable of going home with this guy" Tessa slurred, Keith put his hand on her arm.
"Yeah she is, now come on" Keith commented.
Brendan shook his head, as he rang Steven on her. He would get her home, he was on his way to the club to get Tessa away before she does something she will regret. This guy could be anyone.
"Keep her talking Joel" Brendan spoke, she was too drunk to figure it out. Brendan went by the stairs, waiting for Steven.
"Tessa, you're not going anywhere; will you just leave, were closing soon anyway" Joel spoke, looking between Tessa and Keith.
"Jesus Christ, I think I can go home with him, without ya consent" Tessa answered, as her and Keith pushed past him.
"Over there" Brendan spoke, as soon as Steven rushed up the stairs. He tutted, he has not seen his sister for a while so he had no clue she was this 'of the rails' Nor did he know she took drugs.
"Tessa, were going home right now" Steven spoke, as he grabbed gently onto her. Almost pulling her away.
"You can't do this to me" Tessa hissed, as Steven kept hold of her. As he pulled her down the stairs, he let go of her when they got outside the club.
"Who do you think you are" Tessa snarled, as she started to wander down the road. With Steven walking firmly behind her, she looked like a right mess. It was a good job Brendan rang Steven when he did.
"Were going home now" Steven held onto her arm again. Tessa brushed him of her, as she pushed him furiously back, Sorting out her dress and hair again.
"Go away Ste; I hate you, you're not my brother, you flipping ignored me for years and now you think you can be the big brother well no, it's never going to happen!" Tessa argued. As she gave him and dirty look.
"Me? You're the one who cut of all contact" Ste replied outraged at the suggestion.
"That's not true and you know it, me and Angela kept in touch, me and Charles kept in touch except you and I know why; as soon as you got into Amy's jeans you left us all and went to live with her" Tessa snarled, as she turned back around.
"No, you know what; you're just like mum" Steven spoke, as he walked past her. Leaving her alone once more. She put her two fingers up at him before slumping down outside the club. As the breeze blew her hair.
"Get out of here!" she could hear Joel shout, as he pushed Keith out. Who fell on the floor, right besides her.
"Hello again" Tessa spoke, as Joel slammed the door.
"Hey, I thought you be long gone like" Keith slurred, she stood up.
"So you're place then after all" Tessa wondered, he stood up.
He nodded, as they held each other up. Both laughing like the two drunken punters they are, as he lead her to a council estate. She has been here before, in fact she lived here for a couple of days with her mother before they were kicked out after Pauline refused to pay the bills.
"Oh go away" Tessa commented, as Steven was trying to ring her on her phone. As she dropped it on the ground, letting it ring. As he opened the door, his house had some more beer and some cocaine.
"Right well I got more junk in here" Keith told her, as they both fell on his ripped couch with a laugh. As they caught each other faces before kissing. Tessa really would do anything for drugs and sex was one of them.
She slept with Wayne for drugs, the man who almost harmed Leah when she was a baby. So she didn't care who you were, as long as she got drugs in return.
"Pass out already" Tessa muttered under her breath, about ten minutes into their 'session' as she started to speed up, she wanted to exhaust him so he will pass out. She was capable of that as well.
A couple more minutes and he passed out right on que. As she moved from underneath him, putting on all her clothes. As she grabbed a bag, collecting all his drugs and drinks. Slipping into her high heels, she was going to get hurt one day and she really couldn't care right now.
As she opened the door, shutting it behind herself. She walked down the steps and across the estate grounds. This addiction of her's is already out of control, at eighteen years old and she has been this way since the mere age of fifteen.
She staggered all the way back to the village, it's a miracle she found her way back. Though she slumped back down outside the club, dropping the bag as she closed her eyes soon after. Sleep came for her, she can sleep in any circumstance. She opened her eyes when water was chucked over her.
"Get up" she heard a familiar Irish voice command.
"Go away" Tessa moaned, closing her eyes again.
Brendan cocked his head to one side. As he picked up the bag which was at the side of her, she re-opened her eyes when she heard him pick up the bag.
"Cocaine, beer, painkillers and heroin; are you kidding me" Brendan chucked the bag towards her.
"Blame your precious Steven, he was the one who left me" Tessa was stirring again. She has a talent in stirring and twisting everything around towards her.
"Maybe but he didn't force you to go on a drug hunt; I mean it, get up; you look a mess" Brendan spoke with in a firm tone.
"Something every girl is dying to hear" Tessa spoke with sarcasm, as she finally stood up. Pushing past Brendan and walked right into Trevor Royle who just turned up in the village.
"I hate guys in leather jackets" Tessa spoke again, walked past Trevor as well. Who looked at her with slight confusion.
"Your girl?" Trevor asked Brendan.
"Something like that" Brendan replied walking past him. As he tried to catch Tessa up, as he pulled her back towards him.
"When I said I hate guys in leather jackets, I meant it" Tessa hissed, as Brendan was currently wearing one as well as Trevor which is why she said it in the first place.
"Right yeah okay, do what you want Theresa; don't blame me when you find yourself in a prison cell" Brendan answered, as he walked down the road. With Tessa following him.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Tessa asked, trying to keep up with him.
"I think you already know the answer Theresa" Brendan answered.
