They ate their butties and packed away their tents, or what was left of them. The darkness set in and the rain slowed to halt, but there was still a mist of damp in the air that made the night cold.
"Three hours to go then we are finally going home" Cheered Sam opening a beer for her and Jo with her teeth.
"I don't believe you did that!" Laughed Honey
"What?" Asked Sam opening the second beer
"Opened that with your teeth, you could do loads of damage" Said Honey opening her beer on the side of the tree and spilling a bit over her.
"I'd do it like that but that happens" Laughed Sam giving a cheesy grin.
"Never knew we'd started a gurning competition" Laughed Ken pulling a face back.
"I think you got a winner there Sam" Jo laughed uncontrollably at his face and almost fell off her seat.
"Very funny!" Said Sam.
"What you all laughing at?" Asked Sheelagh sitting down next to Eva.
"Kens pulling pose, they must be fighting for him" Said Eva. Ken pulled the face again for Sheelagh.
"Gorgeous!" Laughed Sheelagh "If I wasn't already married I'd be after you myself!"
"Beer?" Asked Gina opening a new case.
"No, not being pissed if we going home" Said Sheelagh watching Des who was throwing his stuff on the pile with everyone else's.
"Why? You did last time" Laughed Jo
"Exactly and you saw what happens when I have a drink" Said Sheelagh.
"Yeah, it was funny, have a beer we insist" Said Gina giving her a beer she opened anyway. Sheelagh reluctantly took it and drank some. They all laughed but were stopped when June came running out of the toilet blocks screaming like mad then two seconds behind her doing the same was Cameron.
"What's wrong?" Said Tony standing up and grabbing June round the waist to stop her running. Cameron got up to do the same to Gary but he fell before he reached him anyway.
"It was a spider" Panicked June shaking her arms and legs like it was on her.
"All that because of a spider" Laughed Jack.
"Yeah, but it was really big" Said Gary standing up next to June and spreading his arms wide. They were both out of breath and every one just laughed at them.
"How have you two coped this week when your running round like your arse is fire because of a spider" commented Gina swigging her beer and passing another one to Sheelagh even though she wasn't finished.
"Who's arse is on fire?" Asked Debbie joining them throwing her stuff on the pile.
"The spiders!" Screamed June and Gary together.
"What you fed them two?" Asked Debbie looking at them as if they were mad.
"Same as everyone else" Said Jo moving up for Debbie to sit down.
"Sit down" Said Tony sitting June down on a seat.
"And chill out" Said Gina once again passing a beer to June
"You too" Said Cameron whilst Gina passed him a beer.
They sat there for another few hours and steadily the fire built up bigger and bigger. Sheelagh was extremely tidderly even though she had only had four beers and was only stayed sat on her seat because she had propped herself up against Cameron. Leela was in a similar state but she had drunk twice as much. All of a sudden she stood up and just stared at Neil who had finally joined them, not that they really wanted him too.
"I yate hou!" Shouted Leela slurring also nearly falling over. Everyone stopped there little conversations to watch what was happening. Looking round though no one seemed to be disagreeing with what she was saying.
"meee to" Joined in Sheelagh standing next to her leaning on Cameron still who was holding her up round her waist.
"That told you" Laughed Gabriel evily.
"Shut it Gabriel" Snapped Neil "If the girls have got something to say to me I am more than happy to listen". He turned back to face them.
"you're a Evil, cwisted, torrupt, crafy, villainous demon" Screeched Amber getting some of her letters mixed up.
"That's a good one" Laughed Sheelagh. Everyone laughed too. "Wait,wait….wait. I want to say something too….your…you're a Cursed, wicked, dishonest, controlling, hell bane bolt" Satisfied with her answer sheelagh smiled lifting her hands up for a cheer. Everyone did. They gave each other a high five which made nearly the both of them fall over.
"If that's how you feel, I'm glad you said" Neil replied to both of them but mainly directed it at Sheelagh.
"Good…cause gere wlad you are" Smiled Leela.
"I was going to tell you how I felt about you but I think I'll wait till your sober" Said Neil
"We'd still leel fike this even if we were sober" Argued back Sheelagh tripping up on Cameron's foot as she stumbled round. " So you might as well just tell us now" Said Sheelagh forcefully but not shouting.
"Ok if your sure" Smiled Neil
"Certainly are" Agreed Leela.
"Right Leela where should I start. I think you're a deceptive, false, illusioned, argumentative, attention seeking cow" He said. Gabriel gave out a slight cackle.
"Oh, wait…I'm really gonna have to write these down" He laughed getting a paper and pen out of his pocket and beginning to scribbled. Ignoring Gabriel, Neil continued unaware that the coach had pulled up.
"And you Sheelagh, I think….I think you're a crazed, man-eating, loose, self-obsessed, maniac, easy slut!"
"Say that one more time and I'll swear, I'll kill you" Shouted Des angrily standing up.
"What so its alright for her to call me but not for me to call her" Argued Neil defensively
"For one you took it way to far and secondly what you said wasn't true" Sneered Des still walking slowly forward to close the gap between them.
"Des, leave it, he's not worth it" Said Sheelagh clearly worried what was about to happen. "Please Des, don't" Sheelagh was practically begging, she put her hand on his cheek to try and divert his gaze to her, but he was filled with anger.
"Yeah, leave it Des, I'll sort it out" Came a voice from behind. They all spun round in shock.
"Patrick!" Said Sheelagh letting go of Des, but it was too late he had seen how close they had been. She stumbled over to him and gave him a slight hug.
"Your drunk aren't you?" Said Patrick calmly holding her steady.
"Not drunk, just a bit…." Sheelagh was stuck for what to say.
"Drunk" Offered Sam
"Yeah, that's it" Laughed Sheelagh.
"Go get on the coach, I'll bring your stuff" He set Sheelagh off walking to the coach. The rest of them all got up and started to put there stuff on and get on too. That left just Patrick, Des and Neil stood round the fire.
"I don't know what's been happening this week but I wanna find out, and if you don't tell me, I'm gonna leave you here" Said Patrick forcefully.
"What's happen here? You really wanna know?" Laughed Neil as if it was a stupid question Patrick had said. Patrick nodded his head just the once to show he was in control. "Ok, your wife has been offering her self round on a plate all week" Lied Neil
"You lieing bastard" Shouted Des "She has not, he's just a perve who can't deal with the fact that Sheelagh doesn't want to be with him"
"Yeah, like she really wants to be with you" Said Neil
"What you on about?" Interrupted Patrick as they had clearly forgot he was there.
"Oh, you don't know do you" Laughed Neil, Des stared at him giving him a look that said shut up.
"Know what?" Repeated Patrick angry
"Sheelagh has been getting very close to him whilst she's been away. In fact, they shared a bedroom for two nights as far as I know." explained Neil. Des's heart sank, he felt he'd failed Sheelagh.
"Nothing happened" Said Des knowing that he couldn't lie his way out if this.
"Like he's gonna believe that, everyone knows you're a womaniser Des" Said Neil with a sense of winning in his voice."Your busted"
"No mate you are" Patrick swung round and hit Neil in the face knocking him over. "Spread lies about him all you want, but about Sheelagh you can't"
"Your wife is planning to leave you for him and your on his side" Stuttered Neil in disbelief, blood pouring from his nose all over him.
"I know that Des would make her happy, unlike you!" Patrick finished throwing the last few bags on the coach.
"Nothing happened you know" Repeated Des
"I know" Said Patrick patting Des reassuringly on the shoulder.
"You mean your not angry with me" Said Des confused
"No, me and Sheelagh, were over. You've just made it easier for us to realise." said Patrick sounding releaved "She's yours, look after her for me" Patrick climbed onto the coach. Des and Neil climbed onto the coach and it set off back to Sun hill.
Most people fell asleep on the way back. Gina and Adam sat up front talking.
"I think we learnt a lot this week" Smiled Gina leaning against Adam
"Yeah me too, its been good" Agreed Adam
"You did a really good job" Congratulated Gina
"Thanks" Smiled Adam.
"No, I mean it, you did excellent" repeated Gina.
"Well I couldn't have done it with out you" They leaned together slowly, parting there lips. They kissed softly for a second before breaking apart spluttering and spitting like kids. They then burst out laughing.
"Its been a weird week" Said Gina making a excuse for what they had just done.
"Yeah, I agree" Said Adam happy with it. "Mad!"
