My birthday is ruined

" Come on guys, let's go !

You all have had more than required and unnecessary amount of alcohol !

Let's get going now.

Cole, at least you don't do this, please !

You have a job which can ask your presence anytime !

What if the department calls you for some emergency case ?

Derek won't be able to take your place, he is just a Detective not a Cop !

Stop drinking now, guys... "

I tried hard to get them stop drinking already.

But Derek have some other plans than concentrating on the important things, as always !

" How dare you call me, 'Just Detective' ?

Cole can solve his cases on the basis of the work I do for him !

You can't insult me like that.

I am... "

Derek continued blabbering about how important his work is !

He finally shut his mouth when, Cole gave him a death stare.

He gets intimidated by Cole; actually we all are intimidated by him !

Why won't we ?

He is so huge.

He is 6'9 and weighs 120 kgs !

He owns a very intimidating physique.

His biceps are of 20 inches !

He have not only hard and chiseled chest, but he have fucking 10 packs abs !

I merely have 6 packs.

Not only me but all of us have 6 packs except for Derek !

He have 8 pack abs.

Our profession don't ask us to have an intimidating appearance, but their do !

I am a Doctor by profession.

So I don't need very huge and muscled physique. But Cole needs it.

And he is very popular in his department.

Many criminals just start accepting all the crimes they did and sometimes even which they didn't, just because of Cole's presence in the interrogation room !

But Derek is a detective, working with Cole in his department.

Cole doesn't likes Derek's company because of his silliness; but there's nothing he can do about it !

Yes, he do have a big and all time uselessly babbling mouth; but he is the best detective they have.

Cole doesn't appreciate him for his work infront of him, but he always tells us how helpful he is at work.

Cole loves Derek's work it's just that, he just can't stand his stupidities !

But he won't leave Derek, for that.

After all we are best friends and we are together since our childhood.

By us I mean, myself - Dominic Allen, Cole Miller, Derek Cooper, Lauren Baker and Jules Ford !

Cole is super Cop, Derek is the best detective, Lauren is well known and successful Lawyer and Jules is senior Judge and I am also very renowned Doctor.

We met at Saint Paul orphanage.

Yes, we all are orphans !

We are together from the orphanage.

All the children got adopted and we were the only ones left.

And we all are glad no one did or we wouldn't have been together now !

.

.

.

But right now, these spoiled kids need proper discipline.

I have to take them out of this bar.

Today's my birthday and they took me here to celebrate but, I guess everyone is enjoying himself, except for me !

I paid the bill and started pulling everyone out of their chair.

" Come on, get out.

Get your asses moving, we are leaving.

Now ! "

I said firmly.

" If you won't come with me, I am gonna leave you all here !

Come on guys, please let's leave.

We have enjoyed enough...."

I was getting irritated.

" Shut up Dominic !

It's your birthday and we are enjoying.

You haven't even had a single beer !

You'll have to drink with us.

One drink.

Just one ! "

Jules said handing me an empty can of beer !

He is so drunk.

" For god's sake Jules, let's go !

You all are drunk.

Let me be sober or else how'll we get home ?

We can't drink and drive.

Cole will charge us ! "

I told him.

" He is drunk too, Dominic !

Why would he charge us ? "

Lauren said slurping on the empty can he was holding.

" Don't you know Cole ?

He won't spare himself either for breaking the rule.

He'll also pay the fine.

So better, let me be sober and let's leave. "

I said.

" I have already asked you guys to celebrate my birthday at our place.

We would have ordered some food and drinks and in that way, I would have been able to get drunk myself without worrying about breaking the rules !

Now that, you haven't listened to me, so we are left with only one option, me being sober and get you all safely home. "

I said getting irritated for not being able to enjoy myself on my happy day and have to take care of these grown up kids !

Nobody is listening to me, I must get Cole under control and he'll help me get them out of here.

" Cole, as a workaholic cop, I expect you to co-operate with me.

I will get these drunk fellows to the car, please get your ass there yourself.

I can't take YOU there.

Please ! "

I said begging him.

" Ok ! I'll leave.

Derek, come with me, I'll take you to the car. Anyone wanna join us ? "

Cole said heavily.

He too is drunk but holding himself.

" Excuse me !

I haven't said yes to your proposal, in the first place !

How could you consider my answer to be yes ?

You don't have....

Ohhhhhh....

Hey !

Leave me !

Help. Help.

This huge guy is trying to rape me !

Ha ha ha ! "

Derek said making jokes.

He is so drunk, I just hope he doesn't create a mess till we reach home !

Cole picked him up over his shoulder and started walking towards the exit door and that's why he was yelling.

" Keep your mouth shut, Derek !

If someone took your words seriously, they might call the cops !

Shut the fuck up, will you ? "

I said scolding him.

" Is that so ?

Let's see who is the responsible citizen here ! Help ! Help !

Somebody call the co.... "

Derek started yelling.

Cole placed his hand over Derek's mouth.

The bartender is looking at me suspiciously !

Excuse me, we are sitting in front of you since the evening, dude !

How could you even think that it's true ?

I gave him an awkward smile and got Jules and Lauren to my both sides and left the bar.

When we reached the car, Derek was puking !

Oh god, only this was missing tonight !

And when he was about to get control over himself, Jules as well as Lauren were in the action !

Fuck this night, dude !

What's wrong with the day ?

Once they were finished throwing up, I pushed them in the car and started driving back to our home.

Thank god at least Cole wasn't looking like he was gonna puke in my car !

Derek was doing something stupid and Cole was trying to slap him.

It was past 2 in the night and no was on the road, so, I turned just to see what was going on and....

" Noooo...

Fuck !!!!!!! "

I screamed.

" What ?

What happened ? "

Cole asked sluggishly.

" I hit someone ! "

I said panicked.

I got out of the car and ran to see whom I hit.

An almost teenage girl !

Her head and knees were bleeding.

Fuck !

What have I done !

" Hello ?

Hello miss ?

Are you ok ?

Can you hear me ?

Hello ? "

I tried to check if she was conscious and could listen to me.

" Why are you greeting her ?

Do you know her ? "

Cole said confused.

Drinking alcohol is seriously injurious to brain as well !

I am so fucked !

" Please, Cole.

Shut up !

I am not greeting her, I am asking her if she can hear me ? "

I said irritated.

" Why would you do that ?

Is she... "

Cole was getting on my nerves now !

" Shut up, Cole !

For god's sake, shut up !

Hello, miss ?

Oh god, she isn't responding.

We need to get her to the clinic.

Cole ?

Can you... "

I looked at him.

" Yes, I'll get her inside the car. "

Cole said trying hard to keep his balance.

" Are you sure, you can do that ?

You can't handle yourself right now, so handling her.... "

I said.

" Shut up !

I am strong.

I can handle her.

Hello miss, I'll have to pick you up.

Please co-operate... "

Cole said trying hard to keep his eyes open.

He somehow managed to pick her up in his arms. But I am not sure he can make it upto the car.

He can't walk straight then how will he...

" Watch out, Cole !

Are you really sure that, you are alright and can get her to the car ?

I mean.... "

I guessed from his situation he wasn't feeling good.

And I was right !

" Take her, take her, take her....

Ughhh...

Bugghhh...

Aaaaa... "

Cole hurriedly put her in my arms.

And with that, last player gone !

He gave her to me and puked beside the road. What the hell am I supposed to do now ?

I was getting her to the car when, he stopped me and tried to take her back in his arms.

" Cole, you just... "

I resisted.

" I know.

I am sorry.

I am alright now.

I am feeling light and ok.

I'll take her inside. "

Cole said sounding better than earlier.

" You sure ? "

I asked confirming.

" Yes, I am.

I am feeling good now.

I am almost sober. "

Cole said confidently.

" If you need to get something out more, tell me right now !

I don't want to take my today serviced car again there for washing tomorrow ! "

I said feeling crying at the thought.

" No. No.

Trust me, I am good now.

And I am... "

Cole tried to explain me that, he was sober now. But now's not the time !

" Ok, ok.

Let it be.

We need to get her to clinic immediately.

Take her to the back seat and make sure she doesn't hit her head somewhere.

Can you do that ? "

I said.

" Yes, ofcourse. I can.

Let's go, miss.

I need... "

Cole said and missed his balance while getting her inside the car.

" Watch out ! "

I screamed.

" I am fine.

You don't have to worry about m... "

Cole said.

" I am not worried about you !

Watch her head.

You almost banged it at the door frame.

Don't be clumsy, Cole. "

I said getting mad.

" Alright, alright.

Fine, I've got her.

There you go, miss. "

Cole said.

He successfully got her in without hurting her.

I started driving and somehow, Derek opened his mouth !

Oh god, why ?

Why are you doing this to me ?

" A girl ?

Hello, sweetheart.

I am Derek.

Nice to meet you.

I am sorry to be rude, but I haven't seen this beautiful face before.

May I know who are you ?

Let me guess... "

Derek continued his blabbering even when he was so drunk.

He is such a womanizer !

What us he gonna guess now ?

"Ooohhh !

Are you ?

Dominic, do you got her ?

If you wanted a stripper, you could have asked us !

And why didn't you told me about this plan ?

Is this why you desperately wanted to be sober, so that you can enjoy her performance all alone ?

How mean, Dominic !

I didn't expected this, from at least you ! "

Derek said what he felt.

" Cole, ask him to keep his mouth shut !

I am trying here to focus on the road.

And... "

I said irritated by his words.

" Keep your mouth shut, Derek.

I don't want to hurt you but, if won't shut it up; I'll break your jaw ! "

Cole said his now common threatening way to Derek.

" Why do you always have to be the god of death, Cole ?

Can't you talk properly someti.... "

Derek tried to calm Cole.

I am sure, Cole have gave him his famous death glare which made him shut his mouth finally !

" Ok, ok.

I am gonna sleep now.

Dominic, wake me up when she starts her performance.

I don't wanna miss out anything. Ok ? "

Derek said.

I didn't responded anything to that bullshit.

But he is Derek !

" I am asking you something, Dominic !

Answer my fucking question !

You'll wake me up wh.... "

Derek got all heated up !

" Yes. Yes, I'll wake you up.

Now go to sleep. "

I said wanting him to shut his mouth already !

" What ?

Are you out of your mind ?

She isn't a strip... "

Cole got his protective instincts on 24/7 !

The next time we are going out for the party, alcohol is banned !

I can't handle this much bullshit from all of them all at once !

Cole is a very serious and smart guy but, when he gets drunk, he becomes the most stupid guy, even worse than sober Derek !

Can you imagine the severity of the case ?

I breathed deeply to calm my anger at his words.

" Yes, I know, she isn't !

But I can't argue with Derek right now !

I have to focus on the road.

I don't want to hit someone else. "

I said.

" Who got hit ? What happened ?

Why didn't anyone told me anything ?

You guys... "

Derek said getting into his detective mode.

And I thought he was asleep already !

" This girl got hit by our car !

She isn't a stripper !

We are getting her to the clinic for first aid !

Got it ?

Now, just shut your mouth ! "

Cole answered his questions and tried to shut him up.

But, as usual !

" Why didn't you told me earlier ?

Is she alright ?

How bad is it ? "

Derek said seriously sounding almost sober.

Relief washed me down.

" We don't know anything right now.

That's why, we are getting her to the Doctor. "

I told him.

" A Doctor ?

Then, who the hell are you ? "

Derek said.

And I thought I could get some relief from his madness !

" I don't have my first aid kit and equipments with me Derek !

I can't check up on her.

I need to get her to the clinic where I can check her and we can know how bad it is ! "

I said clenching my teeth.

I was already mad as I couldn't enjoy my birthday, then I hit an innocent, the drunked guys and getting on my nerves and my brain is slowing down in anxiety of where and how badly really is she hurt ?

" Oh ok.

Do you know who is she ?

Her name or anything.

If we need to contact her family... "

Derek opened his mouth and I seriously want to hit him with something !

" She isn't my friend, Derek !

I don't know her.

And... "

I said trying very hard not to loose it completely.

" What the fuck are you doing ?

Get your hands off her.

You can't touch some unconscious girl without her permission !

It's against the law... "

Cole started yelling at Derek and I wonder what is he doing ?

" What's going on guys ?

What are you doing, Derek ?

Why are you touching her ? "

I asked as, I couldn't see it for myself.

" Shut up, I am not touching her !

It sounds so cheap !

I am checking her for some identity proof.

We'll need it to contact her family or how else you are going contact her family, Doctor ?

Am I right ? "

Derek said sarcastically.

He's got point.

We'll need something to find out who she is and belongs to which family.

Cole too kept his mouth shut.

" There's nothing.

She doesn't have any id proof.

Something is wrong.

She might be... "

Derek said suspiciously in his detective tone.

" Isn't it possible, she might have left in a hurry and forgot id at home ?

Or may be going back to home to take the id which she forgot at home ? "

Cole said what he felt.

" Yes, there's also this possibility !

It can definitely happen.

Dominic, why did you hit her ? "

Derek asked.

" Excuse me ?

What do you mean, why did I hit her ?

Why would I hit her on purpose ?

She isn't my enemy.

She came from nowhere infront of the car !

I didn't hit her on purpose.

It was an accident.

She came so suddenly, I couldn't stop the car in that instant. "

I said offended by his allegations.

" There you go !

She came running from nowhere !

If she was heading to take her id, she would be more careful on the road; especially at this time at night and we haven't passed any other car in long time.

The road was clear.

She should have been more careful at the sound of a running car, unless... "

Derek said matching the pieces of the situation.

" She was running from someone !

Or something like that. "

Cole finished his line.

" Exactly !

Even if we consider that, she might be heading back to get her id for an instance; for getting the permission for having a drink, as she is still a teenager.

But, there are no homes near by that, someone might run back to home to get something.

One must need some vehicle to get to the place. "

Derek said pointing out the empty neighborhood.

" I hate it, when you get a point which erases mine ! "

Cole said getting irritated at his work as always.

" Yeah, I love you too. "

Derek said.

He proved once again, why is he called the best detective !

I would never have thought like this; and that too when he is drunk as hell !

Hats off, dude !

We somehow get to the clinic and called the staff to get in the examination room.

As it's our rule,

' No drunk people allowed inside, except for patients'

Cole stopped everyone outside.

I asked one of the staff, who was heading towards our place for some work, to take my car drop them home and get back with the car.

I got into the examination room and checked her. Her vitals were seeming not in danger.

But her right forearm was swelling and so we did the x-ray check and my doubt was right.

Her right forearm was fractured.

I should have known it when it started swelling.

I dressed her injuries at her knees and right side of the head, the side she fell on the ground.

And put the plaster on her arm.

It wasn't a major fracture.

Nothing serious.

Nothing to worry.

She should be fine in few days.

It's the fracture, which will take time to heal, or she would have been fine by tomorrow !

I asked the nurse to keep check on her and give her some painkillers if she faces unbearable pain of the fracture.

The staff member returned after few moments when, I left her in the room.

I went home and found everyone sleeping in the living room itself on the floor !

Wow !

What a birthday !

Worth remembering.

I didn't made any efforts to wake them and send to their respective rooms as punishment for ruining and not letting me enjoy my own birthday !
