freddie hasn’t remembered the last 36 hours. he’s on a bender from hell, brought on by a combination of factors he’ll never discuss with anyone ( is effy the factor ? he makes excuses, but she is the factor ). he dances; he drinks; he takes pills — & the only one that is watching is his mother — oh, what his mother would say. what he wishes she would say . . .
tonight, he is weaving his way through unknown crowds, thoughts entirely limited to how strange the lights above his head look, moving in tandem to the beat of the music.. . . there is a thin layer of fun coating all his fears & all his existence.
someone — something is touching him. a girl. a girl is grabbing his pants, moving her body up and down against him to the thudding of the music. he grins in automation, moving a hand down her body, allowing himself to grind to the music. the heat of the music registers perfectly in their ears, and soon, freddie notices that his tongue is somehow in the girl’s mouth. the warmth consumes him, and he is entirely lost.=
——— he doesn’t notice effy is there until he pulls back several minutes later. by then, it’s too late. his heart sinks. but still, he’s reaching for her. he’s reaching for her, high above the surface of the crowd.
“effy————“ he calls out. the girl is long forgotten; he’s searching for her in the crowd, tossing his drink into the crowd. “effy!"
