"Is that Karen? Say hi for me." Cook said to Freddie when he found him on the phone.

"No, I don't have any. No, I won't get you some." Freddie rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Fine. Okay." He hung up, sliding his phone in his pocket.

"What did she want?" Cook asked.

"Drugs." 

"We can give her some." He shrugged and smiled. "Where is she?"

"At some engagement party. But we are not going there. I don't want to go there."

"Party? Mate, free food, free alcohol. Consider it my birthday present!" He patted his best friend on the shoulder. Throwing the cigarette on his mouth to the floor, he entered the pub.

Mirabella, Pandora, Effy, and Katie were dancing. Mirabella drank while doing it and Samantha observed her. She knew she had fucked it up. She knew that pretty well, but now the damage was done and there was nothing she could do besides being sorry.

"Are you okay?" Emily asked her and she turned to the redhead.

"Yeah. I just need to talk to her when we get home." She smiled slightly.

"It seemed a tense subject."

"It is. I should have known better." Samantha sighed, giving, once more, attention to her sister.

"We are going to a party!" Cook announced, with Freddie behind him.

"But... We already are at one...?" JJ said from his seat.

"Yes, my dear JJ, but this one is shit. C'mon, move your butts. The boat awaits."

"Boat?" Pandora looked at Cook and he smiled, nodding.

The group left the pub, marching towards the boat, under Freddie's instructions. He didn't want to go or to do any drugs, but Cook used the birthday card and there was nothing he could do.

The group was all scattered through the street. The four girls that were dancing at the pub were talking, smoking, and laughing. Freddie and Cook were in the front, JJ and Naomi were walking by themselves and Emily and Samantha were the last ones.

"Does it also happen to you? Do you get shadowed by her?" Emily looked at the group of four.

"I don't know, I guess so. She's the one who goes out and makes new friends all the time. I think she's more sociable. I guess people don't acknowledge me as much as they acknowledge her. But I'm okay with that. That way I don't have to make up excuses to not go somewhere." She laughed low.

"Yeah, I guess that's a good thing."

"Holy shit, it really is a boat." Mirabella laughed when her eyes saw the boat. "There's even someone at the door waiting." She grabbed Pandora by the arm, dragging her next to Cook and Freddie.

"Good sir, people are waiting for us inside." Cook said, walking towards the man guarding the entrance. The man quickly moved so he couldn't pass. "C'mon!"

"There's a private event occurring right now. If you have no invitation you can't enter the boat."

"Wha--- What? I need a party. There's a party inside so I have to fucking go there!" He said, pointing with his arm to the boat and then trying to pass by the security guard.

"C'mon Cook, let's just go back." Freddie said when the entrance was, once more forbidden.

Cook looked at him, then looked at the man.

"Whatever." He turned is back, ready to leave and then, he stormed in the opposite direction, hoping to catch the man by surprise. But it didn't work, obviously. "Fucking hell."

"Let's go guys." Naomi said.

"Oh no... Karen!" Cook yelled. The girl and a friend were on the stern, smoking.

"Cook?" She squinted her eyes, pushing her body against the rail. "Freddie?"

"Hi, Karen." Freddie waved at his older sister.

"What are you doing here?"

"I have something that might interest you! The thing you were asking Freddie for."

"One second!" She yelled back at Cook she and her friend disappeared.

A few minutes passed and finally, Karen and her blonde friend appeared. Both passed by the security guard.

"This is Bianca, it's her party. She's going to get married."

"Cheers." Cook said, looking at Bianca and then reaching for her hand, kissing it gently. 

"Do you have it?" Karen whispered.

"Of course, I do, my love." He reached for something in his pocket. A small bag full of white powder came to the girl's field of vision.

They looked at each other, obviously happy. Bianca said they were allowed at the party. The group yelped and followed her. Cook put himself between Karen and the blonde holding them by the shoulders while walking. Once inside the boat, the group started to scatter.

"Is he caressing the bride's ass?" Samantha said, disgusted. "And she's letting him?"

"Does she have any underwear?" Pandora appeared next to her. "Wicked."

Cook motion with his head, giving the hint the drug will be consumed in that instant.

"Aren't you coming?" Pandora asked her.

"No." Samantha, smiled at her, resting her body at the counter.

"You don't do drugs either?" JJ asked her, observing most part of the group going inside of the bathroom.

"Not really." She looked at him. "Why don't you?"

"I take medication."

"Oh, I see..."

"Look, about that fish situation..." He started to apologize, and Samantha snapped her head at him.

"Cook was an asshole."

"I shouldn't have given him the fish..."

"Oh, don't blame yourself JJ! He's irresponsible and an idiot. That has nothing to do with you." She assured him. "You are a straight-up guy." She smiled.

JJ found himself blushing. No one ever said something so nice to him. If only Samantha was the girl, he really fancied.

"What's up with him?" Samantha asked, pointing at Freddie, that was looking at the empty.

"Love." JJ laughed. "It can fuck you up."

"I'll drink to that." She grabbed one of the many glasses in the counter and drank whatever was its content.

Emily's, Effy's, and Mirabella's laughs were heard, and the three girls approached JJ and Samantha.

"What's so funny ladies?" He asked.

"Pandora..." Mirabella laughed hard. "She... Oh my God, I can't."

"She ate all of the coke." Katie held herself on Effy. "She properly ate it."

"She didn't sniff it. She just..." Mirabella tried to talk again but was almost impossible to do so.

"Will she be fine?" Samantha worried for the girl.

"Yeah, she'll just get it harder. She'll be fine." Effy tranquilized her.

The laughs were starting to disappear. Cook passed them on the phone, almost ruining.

"Where the fuck is he going?" Katie asked.

"Who cares? Let's dance!" Mirabella started do move her hips. Effy and Emily agreed and started to move to the dance floor.

"Wait, Bella." Samantha grabbed her sister's arm. "Can we talk just for a second?"

"Whatever you want, sister." She laughed. "We'll be back JJ."

Once in a corner, Samantha started to talk. She couldn't wait until they reached home.

"I know I said I'm sorry. And I really am Bella. It really wasn't supposed to happen like this. We were just being each other bandages."

"Sammy. It's fine. Who cares? I just overreacted. I was fucking him, he fell in love, I ended things. I don't have to be mad."

"Yes, but... You have to understand that he was just there for me and I was there for him. We were both broken. Him because of you... Me because of the moving. I shouldn't have let that happen, no matter if you are mad or not."

"Sammy." She grabbed her sister by the shoulders, looking her in the eyes. "I don't care. He was just a good shag. And now we share that." She shrugged, smiling and in two seconds she disappeared from Samantha's front and was on the dance floor.

Samantha just stood there, swallowing hard. Those simple words made her realize everything. Charlie used her. She looked exactly like Mirabella and he took advantage of it. But everything seemed so real. He was so caring when he was with her. Maybe it was real, maybe she was just overreacting. But what if she wasn't? She probably was, right?

The party kept on going. Freddie was by himself; Samantha was by herself; Emily and Naomi had disappeared; Cook was probably with the blonde bride and the girls had pulled JJ to the dancefloor. Samantha made her way to Freddie.

"Why don't you go talk to her?" She asked, looking at Effy, just like he was.

"What?" He snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Samantha.

"Effy. You fancy her."

"What? No, I don't!" He laughed nervously.

Samantha laughed slightly, looking at him with her arms crossed over her torso.

"What if I do? It doesn't matter."

"Why not?"

Freddie shrugged, looking at Effy. '

"It just... Doesn't matter."

Samantha sighed, looking at Freddie.

"Do you fancy a dance?" She asked, giving her hand out to him. He looked at her hand. "C'mon I don't bite. I promise." He looked at her. "It's been a shit day, apparently for both of us. I think we own ourselves to have some fun?" She insisted.

"Sorry Sammy, but... I'm not in the mood."

Samantha pressed her lips together and retrieved her hand, nodding. She turned her body to the dancefloor, watching the people dance.

"It's Samantha." She nudged Freddie, laughing. He laughed too.

Of course, she had to have a crush on the boy who had a crush on Effy. Everyone had a crush on that girl, how could she compete with that? Both of them just stood there, watching the dancefloor for so long that they forgot the time. In-between someone gave a speech, two slow dances happened, and Samantha's phone was being filled with notifications. It was not until Cook jumped on stage and started to talk on the microphone that they woke up from the trance.

"Shit." Freddie said, looking at the scene. Cook was giving a speech like he was in love with the bride. "This is going to be bad" He took his hands to his head.

"What the fuck is he doing?" Samantha asked.

"Getting us all in trouble." He looked over at the father's bride. "Her father is the most powerful and sadistic drug dealer from Bristol." He mumbled.

"Shit." Now was Samantha's turn to swear.

Cook started to sing "I write the songs". JJ was also attentive and like Freddie, he was altering his looks between Cook and the blonde drug lord. He was now in a chair, singing his lungs out. If Samantha wasn't so worried; she would probably laugh. The bride's father was now walking in Cook's direction. Freddie immediately acted.

"Hey, sir..." He tried to reach for the man, but he was shoved and fell on the floor.

Two seconds letter, Cook was the one on the floor. Samantha gasped, reaching for Freddie and if the guy's goones hadn't picked up Cook already, she was going for him next.

"Let's give some proper manners to our lad over her gentleman."

Cook was laughing while they took them. Freddie looked at JJ, JJ looked at Freddie. Freddie was already up and ran after them, followed by JJ.

"Are they going to hurt Cookie?" Pandora asked Effy.

"I'm sure they'll just teach him some good manners." She laughed and Katie joined her.

"What's happening?" Emily asked Samantha.

"Cook. He..." Samantha tried to tell her but was cut off by a body flying out of the balcony on the cake's table direction.

Screams were heard. Some of them called "Cook" some were the regular ones. Cook fell straight into the cakes, not only getting himself dirty but also getting the green clothes lads dirty. He looked up, laughing.

"Oh, that's it. You stupid blonde ken." One of the green-clothed lad said.

"What did you just say to me?" He asked, his face getting red. Without even thinking he perched himself on the rail. "You twat." And then he jumped in the dude's direction.

Cook was still laughing, licking his fingers. And they a fight started. Everyone was screaming, throwing punches. Samantha was blinking fast. She couldn't believe her eyes. Freddie and JJ ran downstairs. Freddie pulled Cook out of the table.

"Samantha, c'mon!" Emily's voice passed through the girl's ears, but she didn't move. She felt her body being pulled to the outside of the boat and only then she started ruining by herself. The group was running, most of them were laughing. They ran and ran and only stopped at the tunnel.

"Wait, here's Naomi?" JJ asked, looking around him.

"Oh..." Emily started, letting her laugh die. "She went home."

"Well..." Katie said, still laughing. "This was fun, but we really must go home." She grabbed Emily by the arm. "Let's go, Em?" Her twin sister nodded. "See you at school." She said to the group and left with Emily.

"I ended up not having one present. Any of you girls wants to give one to me?" He asked the four remaining girls. "Bella, my love?"

"Not today." She laughed, looking at him.

"Panda?"

"Cookie, you have a lovely cock. But I'm too out of it. I'm so sorry." She apologized.

He reached for Effy who was leaning against the wall. Samantha looked at Freddie.

"Do you want round two?"

"Round two?" Samantha blurted out and then looked at Freddie again. That was why it didn't matter.

"It's getting late." Effy smiled at the boy and they looked at Pandora. "Let's go Pandora." She straightened her body and reached for her friend. "Bye." She laughed.

"This was amazing. We have to do it again!" Pandora screamed while walking.

"Well, that only leaves you, Sammy." He gave a few steps close to her and she started to walk towards the wall until her back hit it.

"It's a hard pass." She said to him. "And it's Samantha."

He smiled at her, putting a lock of her hair behind her ear.

"C'mon, that's enough." Mirabella said. "Let's go."

"A second." Samantha said, getting something from her purse and putting in front of Cook's eyes.

"Happy birthday Cook."

The boy's eyes widen with expectation.

"What is it?" He said, looking at the wrap, and taking it out of Samantha's hands.

"You bought him a present?" Mirabella said and Samantha looked at her.

"Of course, it's his birthday."

"Cheers." He thanked her, smiling and she nodded.

Samantha got away from him.

"See you, lads, at school. Have a lovely night." She waved at them.

"You gave him a present." Mirabella said to her sister when they were walking home.

"I did."

What do you think about the new cover? Do you like the previous one better?

And I don't if she's called Bianca but I think she never says her name in the episode. I watched the part where she appears for the first time and found nothing and even searched for it and I got zero .-.
