WE'RE GOING DOWN

"I brought more supplies." Maria came into the living room, holding up a carrier bag filled with Ben and Jerry's ice cream tubes and bottles of red wine. The girls were big on bonding, but none of their previous sessions had been quite this depressing, or fattening.

"This sucks." Eve stuck her spoon into a tub of Phish Food, putting it in her mouth.. "I had this great guy that I was totally falling for, and just like that," Eve snapped her fingers. "It's all over."

"At least your guy wasn't off limits!" Alicia cracked open a new bottle of wine, as she watched Eve down the contents of the previous one straight from the bottle. "Adam was a taken man, and I slept with him – numerous times! – and then his fiancée confides in me." Her conversation with Vickie had left a mark on Alicia.

Maria felt herself being dragged into her best friends' cycle of sadness. "I thought I was over him." She sat down on the floor between Alicia and Eve. "I had this wonderful guy but then I ruin things with him because I'm still hung up over Jeff – this guy that treats me like dirt. Jeff comes around here and kisses me, tells me he's not over me and now I don't know what to do."

None of the girls were really listening to each other, as they were all way to hung up in their own problems. Their relationships were in tatters, and all they could do was sit around feeling sorry for themselves.

"Shall I get out The Notebook?" Maria scrambled over to the DVD cupboard. It was definitely their relationships-in-tatters failsafe film.

"This sucks." Alicia didn't answer Maria's question. "When did things get so sucky?"

"When Maryse came into our lives." Eve responded, bitterly. "First she slept with Adam, and then she slept with Randy..."

"Maryse didn't sleep with John or Jeff." Maria pointed out.

"No, but she did play Candice against you, remember?"

Rarely one to lose her temper, there was something about Maryse that infuriated the redhead. "Y'know, this is stupid. We shouldn't be sitting around moping; we should be enjoying life, and not letting Maryse hold us back."

"Maria's right." Eve stood up and pulled her hair out of its scruffy bun. "We're already partially drunk; I say we get dressed up like total sluts, get absolutely wrecked and forget our troubles." She smiled at Alicia, who nodded encouragingly.

Maria shook her head at the pair of them; Eve must've been wasted, as this was far from the good girl she knew. Either way, Maria could tell their night would end in trouble.

The sound of Ke$ha blared through the dark club, as Eve lost herself in the music.

She'd never been to this place before, but there was something hypnotising about the thumping electro music and the flashing green strobe lights. Eve wasn't entirely sure whether the person she was dancing with was a very feminine boy, or a very butch girl, but at the point in time, she didn't care.

As she looked over at her friends, Alicia and Maria were both dancing with the same guy, pretty much grinding against the lucky boy. Perhaps Buy One Get One Free shots weren't necessarily the best idea.

"I've gotta get going!" Eve called into the boy/girl's ear.

"We should totally get together at some time." They called back, still dancing.

"Sure." Eve lied, realising it was actually a girl, as she danced her way through a crowd of people towards her two friends.

"Eeeeeeve!" Alicia – a very excitable drunk - squealed, grabbing her friend by the arm. "Come dance with us!"

"Maybe later, have you seen who's come in?" Eve pointed over to the doorway.

"Maryse." Alicia huffed, as she watched the French-Canadian saunter into the club, closely followed by her model entourage.

Eve noted that Maryse's former best friend Rosa was absent. Rosa said she'd never speak to Maryse again, but Eve didn't really believe she actually wouldn't.

"What a bitch." Maria – the most sober of the three - rolled her eyes, however she stiffened as she saw the death stare on Eve's face. "Eve, just ignore her."

"I have to say something to her." Eve took Maria's drink out of her hand, draining the liquid before storming over to Maryse.

"Look who it is," Maryse turned to her friend Natalya and smirked, before shooting Eve a pitying look. "Little Miss Perfect. Well, you're not so perfect anymore."

"I don't know who you think you are, but..." Eve slurred.

"But what?" Natalya chipped in. She looked pretty tough. "What're you gonna do about it?"

"Eve," Maria placed a hand on her friends arm. "Let's go."

"Let her talk." Maryse pointed a finger at Eve. "Come on, Eve. What are you going to do about it?"

"I did NOT expect you to do that." A series of flashbacks ran through Alicia's head, as she, Eve and Maria sat on the curb outside the club.

It all started with Eve punching Maryse right in the mouth and blood pouring from Maryse's lip, and finishing with Eve being escorted out by a scary looking security guard. Maria and Alicia followed rather sheepishly.

"I've never hit someone before, but that felt pretty good." Eve admitted, a smile creeping onto her face. "But now we've got to find somewhere else to go."

"The boxing gym to get you some classes?" Maria suggested, sarcastically.

"What the hell are you guys doing on the curb?" All three girls looked up to see Maryse's girlfriend Mike and his friend John Morrison stood on the sidewalk, looking down at the three girls in confusion.

"Eve punched your girlfriend and got us kicked out." Maria replied, holding out a hand so John could pull her up.

"I missed a chick fight? Damn." John sighed, before looking at Mike. "We should probably go check on your girlfriend."

"Before you go," Alicia stood up, and stood next to Mike. "I've got something to tell you about your girlfriend which you might not like."
