"Slow down El." Marco told her as she swallowed her 4th shot of vodka.
"Why is Craig here with Manny anyway?" Ellie asked ignoring Marcos concern.
"Uh…He came with us. I don't know why he's with Manny." Ellie laid her head down on the counter.
"I just want a glass of E.J a big…big glass." She muttered under her breath.
"Yeah…uh are you trying to give yourself alcohol poisoning?" Marco asked her.
"Maybe." She told him turning her head to look at Craig and Manny.
"Here ya go. E.J for ya" The bartender said as he placed it next to her head.
"Thanks." She mumbled.
She grabbed the glass and started downing it.
She was drinking it like it was pop.
"Okay, you really need to slow your roll El." He told her grabbing the glass of alcohol from her.
She snatched it back.
"Get your own." She told him as she got off of the stool and stumbled into the huge crowd of people on the dance floor.
Craig watched Ellie stumble into the mess of people.
Manny was still rambling on about something.
Craig didn't know what she was talking about and he didn't care enough to listen.
"I'll be right back Manny okay?" He told her already walking toward Marco not even waiting for her response.
"Ok..." She said to herself quietly.
Marco sat at the bar shaking his head. "I never should've asked her to drink." He whispered to himself.
"Marco." Craig said as he walked over to the bar and sat next to him.
"Ellie is sloshed Craig, she is completely and totally wasted." Marco told Craig as if he could read his mind.
They both searched the crowd with their eyes hoping to spot Ellie.
"I need another." They both turned their heads to see Ellie demanding another glass.
Craig got off of the barstool and grabbed the new glass of alcohol.
"You're done." He told her holding it above their head's so she couldn't reach it.
"What do you care? Just go back to Manny and leave me alone!" She screamed reaching for her precious glass of brandy.
"What are you talking about and why are you drinking?" He asked now grabbing her by her waist helping her maintain her balance.
She grabbed his hands and pulled them off of her almost falling backward.
"Get off of me! You know exactly what I'm talking about! You like Manny, we're friends and that's where it ends Craig. Because you never wanted to give this a chance…You never wanted to give me a chance…" She told him leaning against the counter almost crying.
" I'm tired of waiting for you to realize that I care about you, I got so sick of it that I just gave up and told Sean yes…"
"You were the guy I was talking about." She told him hoping he'd automatically know what she was talking about.
At that moment, she confessed everything. Her feelings for Craig, how she was with Sean. Everything.
She fell to the floor knees against her chest, crying.
Craig was speechless.
He didn't know whether to feel sorry for her, love her, or hate her.
"You're back together with Sean?" Were the only words that came out of his mouth.
She cried even harder after hearing his question.
He kneeled down next to her.
He was so mad at her, he wanted to walk away, hit something or do anything.
But before he realized it, his arms were around her and she was sobbing into his chest.
Then without meaning to she pushed him away.
"I have to go." She told him grabbing a hold of anything near her to help her up.
"El, you're drunk you can't leave by yourself. You can't drive." Marco told her now getting off his stool.
"Yes I can." She said ignorantly pulling her keys out of her bag.
Craig grabbed them trying to pull them away.
"Let go Craig!" She told him gritting her teeth.
He yanked them away and then he felt it,
his cheek went up in flames.
Ellie had slapped him so hard he thought his face had gone numb.
"Well at least we had one sweet moment." He said to himself rubbing his cheek.
"Ellie! Wait!" Marco screamed pushing through the crowd and going after her.
Ellie ran to the bathroom and sat in one of the stalls.
She had done it again, she pushed Craig away.
She was so angry at herself for doing it.
She finally told him how she felt and when he wanted near she pushed him away.
Who was she kidding? She wasn't a beauty like Manny.
Maybe it was a mistake telling him how she felt. Maybe in the end, Craig would just break her heart.
She pulled out her cell phone and went to her phonebook and hit "Marco" Well the four "Marcos" that she saw.
"Where are you?" He asked worried.
"Can you take me home?" She asked, leaving the stall and about to open the bathroom door.
"Of course, I'll be by Jimmy. You think you can find your way over here?" Marco asked her still worried that something would happen to her.
"Yeah I can." She muttered hanging up the phone and walking out of the bathroom.
