Chapter Six

Drunk

A month. A whole month until she was allowed to leave the house again. When Mrs Hallow had returned home and being told by her father what had happened she had grounded her eldest. Esmerelda thought it was highly unfair, she had gone to see her sisters it was not like she was out with some boy or something but if her parents thought she was staying in for a month they were wrong.

Sneaking out was actually easy. Half the time no-one was watching her and she could sneak out the door, she didn't even have anywhere particular she wanted to go she just couldn't stay in that miserable house all day. One day after she had sneaked out she came across a bunch of people her age sneaking into a club, she didn't know why but she was just sick of her life so she followed behind them and immediately the noise hit her as she entered the club. The music was so loud that it made her ears ring and she was about to leave, thinking she had made a mistake when she saw a bar. She walked up and sat on one of the stools there.

"How did you get in?" the bartender asked as he turned around to see her sat there "I am calling security" he told her and Esmerelda gasped. She didn't even realise she wasn't allowed in because of her age, but the thrill of being somewhere she wasn't supposed to was fun to her. She jumped off her seat and ran off and the man sighed as she disappeared into the mist of bright lights.

It didn't take her very long to find alcohol. She was walking past a table when she saw a man with his head on it asleep, clearly having falling asleep from the amount of alcohol he had drank. There was a bottle of drink next to him and it was still half full. Esmerelda took it and found an empty table before she opened the bottle, took a gulp, and coughed as she felt her mouth burn. She had never tasted the stuff before and thought it was nasty.

How on earth did people drink this stuff? She asked herself. Your mouth burned and the taste itself was nothing to write home about, in fact it was pretty disgusting but if it was such a popular thing there must be something about it so Esmie took another sip and this time it wasn't as bad, it did burn her throat but it was strangely a pleasuring feeling.

She knew for her personally it would not take long until she was drunk if she was not careful as her body was not used to the liquid but she thought a bit more wouldn't hurt but as soon as she swallowed another gulp she knew she had made a mistake.

The alcohol and the fact she had not ate properly in days was not a good mix at all. She could feel herself about to throw up and ran to the toilets before being violently sick. Now she just felt stupid to have put herself in that state. She stood up and felt like she was buzzing and her head hurt from the drink but it didn't stop her leaving and drinking a bit more. Stupid choice. She was back within minutes throwing up. This time she left knowing she would not be able to stomach anymore of the stuff with her empty stomach and headed out of the club, tipsy and walking not quite straight. She walked straight into someone who was coming out of a shop. It was not that late after all, maybe six or seven at night.

"WATCH IT" the girl she walked into shouted annoyed before tutting "Maybe if you weren't drunk you could see where you were flaming going!" she shouted before walking off and Esmerelda felt ashamed of herself then, she didn't want to be just another of them people who were drunk on a Saturday night so she walked quicker, preparing to go home and sleep it off before anyone else could notice.

However her sense of direction was not quite the same, did she go left or right on this road? Her mind was to fuzzy to remember. She turned left and started heading down the path before she ran into someone who was out running themselves.

"MOVE" Esmerelda shouted thinking it was his fault for jogging and getting in her way

"You ran into me!" he told her before he looked closer and saw she was drunk. The guy must have only being a few years older than her, eighteen or nineteen at most.

"Look love you best get home" the guy told her seeing she was young and intoxicated and worried about her being young, he was not going to do anything to her but there was people with sick minds who would if she fell in their paths.

"Oh well why don't you come with me" Esmerelda told him making an awful attempt at flirting before falling over. The guy helped her up knowing he couldn't just leave her. He might not know her but if he left her here god knows what would happen to her.

"Come on, I will walk with you" he told Esmerelda wanting to be sure she got home.

"I can walk myself!" Esmerelda told him even if she couldn't

"Maybe so but I will feel better if I came too, you get some weirdos out at this time of night" he told Esmerelda with a sigh who nodded to drunk to argue or care.

It took a while for the stranger to get her address out of her because she didn't seem to understand what he was asking, he didn't even know where her house was so he used a google map to take him, hoping this was actually her address and she had not made up something.

"I am Wilson, what is your name?" he asked her just trying to make conversation.

"Esmerelda.." she slurred out and Wilson felt bad then about how she had got in such a state when she was clearly really young.

"Do your parents know you are out?" he asked having a feeling he knew the answer to that.

"You can't say anything because they will be angry" Esmerelda slurred out at him hoping he would pity her.

"I think it is best to tell them so they can keep an eye on you" he told Esmerelda wondering if he should call them but they were not far from the Hallow mansion now.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Esmerelda asked smiling at him slyly.

Wilson chuckled at her and shook his head, knowing even if she was his age and sober he wouldn't sleep with her or date her, it wasn't personal, she was not his type.

"No, I am gay so I don't think I so" he told her.

"Oh" Esmerelda said looking confused and a little disappointed by that confirmation.

Before long they were at her house and Wilson stood staring at it for a few moments

"Wow that is a huge house, I can barely afford my flat" he laughed "Come on then time to go home" he told her and Esmie nodded before talking.

"You can go now" she told him not wanting anyone to see him.

"Not until I have seen you go in, I think I better inform your parents" he told her knocking on the door before Esmerelda could stop him. Sebastian answered looking confused and concerned when he saw who was at the door.

"I think she lives here? I happened to walk into her and she has had a bit to much to drink" Wilson told him and the butler nodded.

"One second" he said before calling Mr and Mrs Hallow who appeared looking annoyed.

"Esmie, what on earth?" Mr Hallow said

"Are you her parents? I found her walking around the streets and she is intoxicated, I thought I best bring her home" Wilson told them and Mr Hallow glared at his daughter.

"You stupid girl, inside now!" he told her pushing her in the door as Mrs Hallow followed him without saying anything to Wilson.

"Thank you, it is lucky she came into contact with someone nice like you" Sebastian told him.

"No problem, I just wanted to make sure she was safe, see you" Wilson said as Sebastian closed the door.

"GET OFF" Esmerelda shouted as her mum held her arm shouting at her.

"Get upstairs and sober up, we will talk about this later, I don't want to hear a squeak from you, now go!" Mr Hallow shouted. Ursula followed her up making sure she got to her bedroom. Once she saw that she was in bed she slammed the door shut and magically locked it.

Esmerelda felt stupid then unable to believe she had just got herself so drunk that she had to have a stranger bring her home but she didn't have time to think about it for very long, or about how badly she will be punished because she found herself falling asleep and it was not long until she was in a deep sleep.
