ELLIE'S POV

I continued my way towards the bar and as I came in I saw Cat sitting at the bar stools on the bars counter so I went over to her

-" Hey" I said moving my left hand completely forgetting about my two missing fingers
-" Fuck Ellie what happened?" Cat asked as she grabs my hand and examining it
-" It's a long story.....come on, mind giving me  a drink?" I asked pulling away my hand and sitting next to her
-" Sure" she replied signalling Seth to get drinks
-" So mind telling me the whole story?" She asked when the drinks came
-" I don't think so" I said as I grabbed my drink and sipped a little bit of beer
-" Oh c'mon Ellie this is the first time we talked after you and Dina set life in your farmhouse" She said making me hurt all over again upon hearing Dina's name again but I kept my cool
-" Ok..........ok" I said as I take one more sip and then started talking

I tood Cat everything from start to how I lost my fingers and to finish. She seems overwhelmed to what I have gone into and she listens very well to what I'm saying

-" So yeah" I said finishing my story

I was about to drink more in my glass but I saw it empty so I signalled Seth to give me more

-" Jeez........I don't know if you've heard but Dina and Jesse are together again" she said
-" Oh that........I knew that already don't worry Maria told me about it" I said drinking my beer completely trying my best not to tear up
-" Hmm" she replied in agreement

Me and Cat talked once more until I felt more and more drunk as soon as I knew it me and Cat finished 17 bottles of beer already but Cat didn't seem drunk prolly because I'm the one who drank most of it. I was wanting to drink more but Cat stopped me

-" Ellie I think that's enough you're drunk" Cat said in a worried voice
-" No let me drink.........Seth four more bottles for me please" I said drunkily Seth then gave me four more I looked around to see that there's no more people in the bar except for me, Cwt and Seth
-" Ellie I get why you want to get drunk but this is enough I'm taking you home" Cat said
-" Cat no....If this is what it gets for me to forget my problems for just one night then I'll take it" I said drinking a all the beer inside the bottle in one go
-" Ellie it's 11:30 Pm and it's almost midnight we need to rest" Cat said
-" Then go....leave" I said
-" I'm not going to leave until you get your fucking ass up Ellie" Cat said

I remembered telling Cat everything and how I was crushed into pieces when I heard Jesse and Dina are back together and how I controlled myself not to be dramatic while infront of them earlier. I was in the state of about to got to sleep when I felt my phone buzz on my pocket I took my phone out and saw I have one message coming from Joel

JOEL 11:45PM
Kiddo where are you? it's getting late

ELLIE 11:45 PM
I'm still at the bar I'll be home in a bit

JOEL 11:45 PM
Ellie you're not drunk aren't you?

ELLIE 11:45 PM
I had a few drinks but I'm ok I just need to talk to someone before I go home. I'll be home in a sec

JOEL 11:46 PM
Ok , just be safe kiddo tell me when I need to pick you up

ELLIE: 11:46 PM
Sure

After messaging Joel I put back my phone in my pocket then continued drinking

-" Who is it?" Cat asked
-" It's Joel he wants me to go home" I said drinking the remaining beer in the bottle I am holding
-" I think it's really a good idea if you go home now Ellie" Cat said
-" Sure...I'll go home when I finished 3 more bottles....so are you gonna help me or not" I said handling Cat one bottle
-" Ughhh.....sure" she said taking the bottle and drank it

Cat and I finished all the bottles and waved goodbye at Seth when we got outside the cold breeze immediately gave shivers down my spine. I was able to keep my posture steady but immediately lost it as my drunk state starts kicking in

-" Do you want me to walk you home atleast?" Cat asked
-" No I can handle myself" I said walking while almost stumbling
-" Ellie no I'm walking you home Cat said wrapping my arm around her neck and grabbing me up my waist
-" Cat" I said in a refusing tone
-" Ellie I'm not leaving you at this kind of state" Cat said and started walking
-" Ok but don't drop me at home just walk me over at Jesse's" I said
-" And why do you want to get dropped there?" Cat asked
-" I need to talk to Dina" I answered
-" I don't think Duna would want to talk to you at your drunken state" she replied
-" Just fucking do as I say will ya?" I said
-" Ok.....ok but I'm waiting for you outside" Cat said
-" No yo don't need to do that you can go home after you dropped me there" I said
-" Ellie" she replied
-" Cat.....I'm going to be ok" I said
-" Ok.....ok....if that's what you want" she replied

We started walking towards Jesse's house and when we finally got to our destination we said our goodbyes

-" So I'll leave you here.......you sure you don't want me to wait here?" Cat asked
-" No I'm fine you can go home now" I answered
-" Ok it's nice catching up with you Ellie" Cat said giving me one final hug
-" You too" I said returning the hug
-" Ok I'll leave now bye" she said then walke away
-" Bye" I said under my breath

After Cat left I turmed around to face Jesse's house I let out a few sighs then started walking to the door completely ignoring that I'm drunk
