Chapter 5: Cook's Birthday Part 2
Once they arrived at Kayleigh's engagement party, Elaine stayed close to Freddie as she trusted him more than anymore in the group aside from Effy and Pandora who stood away and closer to each other. Cook attempted to walk in but a buff security guard had stopped him.
"Not coming in." The man said.
"Why not?" Cook asked.
"Private party, plus underage, plus I don't like the looks of you. You're not coming in." The man said.
"Listen to me, robot. You may rank way above me in terms of strength and size, but at least I can love. Now can you let me in?" Cook argued as he attempted to walk into the party once again but the security guard had stopped him in his tracks.
"Not coming in." The man said.
"Listen, fate has brought me here. Do you understand? You're not letting fate in the club. It's not like fate is wearing trainers. Fate just wants a couple of drinks, a little dance. And fate is actually also desperate for the toilet. Now can we come in?" Cook asked.
Elaine let out a sigh, shifting her weight on her other foot as she looked over at Effy who already seemed to be dead eyeing her. She gave her twin a confused look but all she got back was that usual Effy smirk.
"How about you fuck off?" The man asked.
"How about you're a fucking cock? I'll fucking break your fucking face, mate!" Cook yelled, getting irritated by the fact the guard wouldn't let 'fate' in.
Freddie walked over, pushing his friend back in order to prevent a fight.
"All right. You'll can get your fucking head kicked in here." Freddie said as the group began to walk away.
"I don't think he's gonna let us in here." Naomi commented as she looked back at the guard.
"Nah, he's just an obstacle. We're meant to go to this party. Fate will sort it. Just wait." Cook promised.
"Freddie?!" A girl called out. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
"Hi Karen." Freddie said.
"You can't come in, it's private." Karen bluntly responded.
"Don't be like that sis, it's Cook's birthday." Freddie pleaded with his sister.
Elaine silently observed, lighting another cigarette for herself as she looked at the girl who was getting married. Bimbo head, she looked at it.
"Unless you've got drugs, fuck off, and take your friends with you." Karen snapped back, it seemed like they were feigning for drugs.
"Oh, come on Karen. I'll make it up to you, I promise." Cook said, signaling to his cock before Karen had pushed him away.
"Yeah. Look, it's not my decision. It's her party." Karen said.
"I'm getting married." Kayleigh said as she showed Cook her engagement ring.
"Oh, congratulations." Cook congratulated Kayleigh on her engagement and the two engaged in an uncomfortably long kiss.
"Ugh, Jesus Christ Cook." Elaine spat, visibly annoyed by the stupid decisions the birthday boy continued to make.
Once the kiss broke, Cook smirked and walked closer. "Will you let us in?"
"Well, there is a pretty strict dress code." Kayleigh said.
"How strict exactly?" Cook asked, pulling out Elaine's MDMA.
The girls immediately smiled, letting the group into the party which was just ice cream, jelly, champagne, and boring conversation.
"When she said party-" Freddie started.
"You thought she meant an acid fueled sex rave without the Mancunians." Katie finished his sentence.
"This is more…" JJ began and Effy finished his sentence for him.
"Jelly and ice cream." Effy said.
We all walk to the bathrooms after Cook is introduced to Kayleigh's father, Johnny White who was a well known gangster around Bristol. Katie took a line first, then Effy, Freddie, and then Elaine. She quickly snorted the line, lifting her head up so none would fall out. Cook handed the bag to Pandora to hold so he could get ready to take another line.
"Weird girl, hold this." But Elaine didn't understand what was happening and instead of snorting it, she put the entire baggie of mdma in her mouth. "Panda! What the fuck."
"My mouth's gone all numb." Pandora said muffled as she looked around at the group worriedly.
"You're not supposed to eat it, you're supposed to snort it you want." Kayleigh said, annoyed that she didn't get any of the MDMA that was supposed to be passed around.
Soon, the effects of the drugs began to hit whoever had taken them and Elaine stumbled as she began to dance with her twin. Her body felt euphoric, she felt as if her heart was going to break out of her chest. She laughed happily and without even realizing it she had been splattered with cake due to Cook being thrown off of the railing. She felt so good that she continued but a hand grabbing onto her wrist stopped her and pulled her away from the scene. She didn't know what happened but she knew it was bad by the way everyone began to run out of the party and down a tunnel.
Elaine eventually rested against the concrete wall, gasping for air. "What the fuck happened?" She questioned, looking around wearily at the others.
"That's far enough." Cook said, gasping for air as everyone else did.
"Cool party." Effy laughed breathlessly.
"Cheers." Elaine laughed.
"You are fucking unbelievable." Freddie said, catching Elaine's attention as she eventually began to breathe normally.
Effy and Pandora began to spin each other around, giggling like children to each other.
"I needed to get laid, man." Cook said to Freddie, who smiled at his mate.
"You're always trying to get fucking laid, man." Freddie said.
"I try I succeed all right? Speaking of which, any one of you girls fancy it?" Cook asked, as he put a cigarette to his lips and stepped over to Katie.
Katie let out a laugh as Cook approached her. "No thanks, you're repulsive!"
"Werid girl." Cook said to Pandora, lighting his cigarette.
"You're beautiful but no, my tuppence feels all funny." Pandora said as she continued to spin around.
"Princess, you fancy a shag?" Cook said as he eventually approached Elaine.
"No, Cook." Elaine flatly said and he swiftly moved to Effy.
"How bout it then, peachy? Looks like it's just me and you." Cook said to Effy, placing his hand on the wall above her.
Elaine stayed silent for a few minutes, her eyes going to Freddie before she called for Pandora and led her home.
"Come on Amy Winehouse, home." Cook said.
"I'm going home…Freds? Could you walk me home." Elaine said, slightly stumbling as she walked over to him.
"Er-uh yeah. I can." Freddie said as Elaine took his hand.
