Love, Sex and Booze (Edited), chapter 12

Sophie turned to see Warren walking towards Billie and Mel. "What's going on?" Warren asked standing in the middle of the corridor looking at the four of them.

"Nothing's going on-" Melanie said.

Sophie widened her eyes at her looking from Melanie to Billie. Billie looked at the floor wiping his mouth frantically. "My ass is nothing going on... Something you wanna tell me Mel?"

"No let's just go back to our table... " Melanie said. Billie looked up raising his eyebrows at Mel.

"Mel-" Sophie started.

"Shut up Sophie!" Melanie said.

"You son-of-a-bitch!" Warren shouted pointing at Billie.

"Warren!" Melanie said surprised at his sudden out burst.

"It's written all over your fucking face Mel!" Warren said looking at her. "I don't believe it! Zoe was fucking telling the truth!"

"Whoa wait you heard something from Zoe?" Melanie said.

"Yeah can you believe that!?" Warren said angrily.

"What and you're gonna believe it?" Melanie laughed.

"Well it's a bit late to hide it now isin't it? You think it's okay to do that with your best friend's girlfriend!?" Warren said looking at Billie.

"I'm sorry man-"

"Fuck that dude! You even had the fucking audacity to tell us at the fucking table that you liked some chick and that you didn't know what to do about it! Asking me for fucking advice!"

"Warren-" Melanie said trying to stop him.

"Look Warren I was gonna tell you... "

"When? After you fucked her?"

"No! Jesus-"

"Hey what's going on?" Tre said suddenly appearing next to Mike who was watching the three of them wide eyed.

"Oh not you... " Warren said shaking his head.

"What's going on?"

"Go back to the table!" Melanie let out getting frustrated. "Warren just... Sort it out later!"

"Sort it out later!?" Warren repeated. "What do you think is Mel a spill in the carpet!?"

"Chill out Warren! Why should you give a shit anyway!?" Sophie said loudly.

Warren turned around to look at her. "Why should I give a shit!? Why should I give a shit that Billie had his tongue down MY girlfriend's throat huh!? Behind my fucking back Billie!" Warren said turning back to Billie.

"You had your tongue down Melanie's throat?" Tre said frowning at him.

"It didn't mean to happen like that... "

"'Course it didn't... " Warren said sarcastically.

"Let's do this somewhere else yeah!?" Melanie said loudly.

"No here will do fine!" Warren said moving towards Billie.

"Warren!" Sophie said moving towards him holding him back.

"You're a fucking asshole Billie!"

"Warren!" Sophie tried to push him back. "Don't be a jerk!"

"Why you stopping me?" Warren said looking at Sophie.

"Because he's your friend!" Sophie said pushing him back.

"Just leave it Sophie... " Billie said.

"Yeah let me punch the asshole" Warren said trying to get out of Sophie's grasp

"Warren don't be an idiot... " Melanie said to him.

"Sophie let me go... " Warren said getting angry.

"Just leave it Warren... " Tre said.

"Shut up fucker!" Warren snapped at him. Melanie shook her head burying her head in her hands. Sophie couldn't hold him anymore, Warren got out of her grasp as he pounced on Billie as they both fell to the floor. Mike quickly went forward as they pulled Billie and Warren apart. Mike finally got hold of Warren pushing him against the wall.

"Okay okay!" Warren said lifting his hands up in the air. Melanie helped Billie up off the floor as Sophie stood next to them watching Mike try and calm Warren down.

"You fucking dick!" Melanie shouted.

"Oh I'm a fucking dick!? Am I the one who's fooling around with other people's girlfriend's Mel!?"

"Go home Warren... " Sophie mumbled.

"Fuck off Sophie this has nothing to do with you!"

"Your drunk sort it out when your sober!"

"So are you! Just...... Go get more drunk with Tre!"

Tre's eyes suddenly widened looking from Warren to Sophie. Sophie looked at Melanie frowning at her. "You told him!?"

"Told him what?" Mike asked looking at her.

"I didn't I swear...!"

"Tell him Sophie... " Warren said pointing to Mike.

"What, tell me what!?" Mike said looking over to Tre.

"Yeah night of confession Sophie! Tell Mike how you got so stoned last night you don't remember fucking Tre in the jacuzzi!"

There were a couple of minutes of silence as everyone looked from Sophie to Tre.

"That true?" Mike said looking at Tre.

"'Course it's not fucking true!" Tre shouted.

"How did you know?" Sophie said looking at Warren.

"I overheard you talking to Mel this morning."

Sophie's jaw dropped as she stepped away from Warren looking to her side. "Emily-"

Tre looked to his side seeing Emily standing there looking at Tre. "Is that true?" she asked quietly.

Tre looked at everyone who were all staring at him. "We were so drunk... I swear to god it never meant to happen... "

"That's all I needed to hear... " Emily said turning around quickly walking off.

"Wait Emily!" Tre stopped turning to look at Mike.

"You fucking asshole... " Mike said shaking his head.

"Mike please-"

"I can't believe you did that! I don't believe you!" Mike looked at Sophie who looked at him trying to speak but nothing came out.

"And you... Just... You just... We were just about to fucking... And the whole time... You... FUCK THAT!"

Melanie shook her head turning around walking off. She couldn't take it anymore. Warren quickly ran after her and left Billie looking from Tre to Mike. Billie looked at Sophie shrugging quickly going after Melanie and Warren.

"Mike I'm so sorry... " Sophie managed. Mike shook his head walking in the direction Warren Billie and Melanie had gone. Sophie buried her head in her hands as Tre bit his bottom lip moving towards her. He embraced her softly as she stayed there for a while crying quietly....

"Tre Cool? You're being nominated right now." A guy suddenly said appearing round the corner looking at Tre who was holding a crying Sophie. Tre nodded, as the guy raised his eyebrows nodding back at him.

They somehow all made it back to the table with no signs of Emily. Sophie sat down as far away from Mike as possible sitting next to Melanie who had her head down smoking a cigarette and had a large drink in her hand.

"And the winner... For best rock video is... Green Day!"

Billie choked on his drink as Mike took a big gulp of his before they all headed up to the stage.

"Em... Wow... " Billie said into the microphone. "We'd like to thank all the producers, director, anyone who helped with the video... The fans for voting for us, you make it happen, and anyone else I forgot... Rock and fucking roll!" Sophie didn't even watch it. When she looked up only Warren was sat opposite her. "I hate you... " she mouthed to him before getting up.

When they came off the stage they all stopped to look at each other. Billie looked at Tre and Mike shaking his head and walked off. Mike didn't even look at Tre he just made his way down the hall the opposite way to the table.

"Mike wait-!" Tre said quickly running after him.

"I have nothing to say to you." Mike said turning to look at him.

"Yeah well I have something to say to you!" Tre said. Sophie heard them talking stopping before she turned the corner. "Listen you don't understand... It all came out wrong... "

"Okay how was it supposed to come out? How else to say it? You fucked Sophie, congratulations you got there before I did! How does it feel!?" Mike said sarcastically.

"Mike don't be like that."

"How do you expect me to be?"

"Well... I understand you're pissed at me... "

"Pissed? Pissed isn't even the word-"

"We got drunk and we got stoned and we made a BIG mistake... "

"Well done you got that right!"

"She really likes you!"

"Good for her! Maybe she shoud've said that before she decided to grab your cock! Or maybe she just got bored of waiting around for me... "

"It wasn't like that-"

"How was it!? She likes me?! Well she hasn't got a very good way of showing it!"

"Come on Mike you were just as bad!"

"I know but I didn't jump into a jacuzzi with Emily did I!? No I don't do that! I didn't do that because I love her!"

"Really-?"

"Yeah really!" Mike sighed out heavily. "That's all I have to say." With that Mike turned around walking off as Sophie looked at the floor seeing she had started to cry again she wiped her eyes going off to find Warren.

***

Warren finally caught up with Melanie grabbing her arm. "Mel-"

"Let go of me Warren!" Melanie said hitting him in the chest.

"Mel please!"

"Just forget it Warren! It's over okay!? Me and you, me and Billie it's just over all of it... "

"Mel!" Warren took a hold of her wrists making her look at him. "Do you love him Mel?" Melanie looked at him for a long time feeling the tears streaming down her cheeks. "Do you love him?" Unable to say anything she nodded quietly.

"Okay... " Waren looked at the floor swallowing hard. "Then go tell him... "

Melanie looked at Warren confused wiping her eyes. "What?" she managed to say.

"Go tell him... Go tell Billie that you love him... "

"You don't... You don't... "

"I'm not in love with you Mel... That would be a different issue if I was... But I'm not... And I want you to be with who you love so... Go... "

Melanie nodded not knowing what to say. Giving Warren a quick hug, she turned around and walked off. Warren breathed in heavily turning to see Sophie standing infront of him.

"You're such a dickhead!" she said pushing him.

"Thanks... "

"Why did you have to tell him!"

"Because he had a right to know!"

"No he didn't! He didn't need to know! No one needed to know!"

"Emily needed to know Soph! What if she found out later? Can you imagine how much more pissed off she'd be? Or even Mike for that matter."

"You interfered! You always interfere! Stop interefering! My life! This is my life!"

"Yeah well you're my little sister I have to take care of you." Warren smiled.

"Oh fuck you!" Sophie scowled. "I'm not your sister! You were adopted!"

Warren chuckled at her. "Good that means I'm not related to you!"

"Yeah good!"

They stood there for awhile as Warren gave her evils sticking his tongue out at her.

"You're not funny." Sophie said. "Where's Emily?"

Warren shrugged. "I dunno. Have you spoken to Mike yet?"

"No... I dunno where he is. Do you think he's still at the table?"

"Sophie the Awards ended an hour ago. If he's not at home he's probably at the after party."

"Okay... Well I'm gonna go find Emily. What are you doing?"

"I'm gonna go home... Sleep... This night's been weird... "

"Tell me about it...."
