* Freddie is dragged to a fancy work party by his Dad (David Cook) who co owns Madison's business "Elio-Cook". Madison is there too. *

David: * adjusting his tie as he gets out of the car and walks into the party with Freddie moping behind him *

"Don't do anything fucking stupid okay? I brought you here so that you can somewhat improve my reputation as a father, so word of advice: don't be yourself, yeah?."

* Goes inside *

Freddie: * Looks visibly upset for a minute but then sighs and reaches into his pocket to reveal some weed and some pills etc., puts them back in his pocket and finally walks inside *

* camera cuts, screen goes black and [ HAUNTED BY LAURA LES ] starts playing with the title card *

* Focus shifts to Maddie *

Madison: * getting ready for the party *

Jack: * Laying on the bed Staring at her *

"Are you seriously gonna wear that?"

Madison: "um-"

Jack: "Where are you going..?"

Maddie: "It's just a work thing, Jack."

Jack:  * Grabs her by the wrist *

"Prove it."

* Madison's phone rings *

Madison:  * Yanks wrist away *

" It's David, He's probably wondering where I am.. I promise that it's just a work thing..."

  * Texts saying she's on her way, rushes out of the house and into a car that will take her to the party *

  [Slowed and echoey version of the beginning 'CASTLE' by Halsey plays]

  * Cameras flashing through the car window as Maddie pulls her sunglasses down and a flask of vodka from her coat pocket. *

* Focus Shifts back to Fred's Pov. *

Fancy guy: " And who are these three, David? "

David: " These are my wonderful Children, Charles and Elisa. They just got back from Yale in the states and Elisa over here is going to own the company one day, she works in the design department *whispers* however, she's more eye candy for the boys.. "

* winks, chuckles *

*Freddie looks visibly disgusted by what David has just said about his sister, he wonders in his head how you could talk so disgustingly about your own daughter.*

Fancy guy: " oh dear.. and who's that one? "

* forces a smile *

* Points at Freddie who is now draining a glass of fancy wine all at once and getting poured some more *

David: " What o- oh dear yes, that is Frederick- "

Freddie: " Freddie. i'm the butler. " * He says sarcastically, holding out his hand for a handshake and bowing a little *

David:  * flicks Freddie's ear *

Freddie: " OW!.. Butler-Son. "

* pause *

" in.. training. "

David: * cringes and puts his hand over his face *

* Meanwhile Madison has arrived to the party, however she is already seemingly a little drunk due to being upset beforehand. *

  * David pulls Freddie aside *

David:

* whisper-shouting angrily *

"Are you fucking serious Frederick?!"

Freddie: * slurred *

"My name isn't even Frederick..! It's Freddie. You named me Freddie. Or.. maybe Mum did, I don't know.. but my name isn't 'Frederick'"  

David:

" Yes well she's not here now is she. You are embarrassing me. "

Freddie:

* laughs *

"Fucking. hell.."

* drains his glass and walks away *

* Vampire by Dominic Fike plays slowly as he walks through the crowds *

* Freddie has locked himself in a unisex bathroom stall and is smoking weed while also being pretty drunk *

* Guitar Riff Plays as he is getting high and the camera is focused on a close up of his face *

Madison: *making her way to her seat*

* Camera pans out to a wide-shot and sideways view of Madison walking down the aisle to her seat. Every table she walks past stops laughing and conversing and starts to adjust things such as their hair and their clothing. *

*Camera cuts to a shoulder and head shot of Madison, still sideways*

*Madison sighs and goes to pull out her chair, her hand gets pulled away*

Madison: *turns quickly*

Random Employee: Please, allow me Ms McNamara. *Slowly and uncomfortably pulls out chair while forcing a smile and looking at Madison*

Madison: *clenches fist* thanks.. *she sits down with Jenny, her long time friend. Jenny doesn't work with or for the company at all, she just follows where Madison goes. It's Frustrating.*

Jenny: Isn't this incredible? People doing everything for you, stopping in their tracks at how beautiful you are. Darling there must be at least a hundred people here to watch your new clothing launch.

Madison: Im just.. living the dream Jenny. *She says with a forced smile*

*Jenny laughs hysterically and everyone goes silent. She's still laughing and Madison is looking around awkwardly and embarrassed.*

Presenter: Madam.. Madam!

Jenny: h- oh?

Presenter: Silence please..

Jenny: oop- apologies. *She says, still giddy with excitement.*

Presenter: Ladies and Gentlemen, please stay silent and applaud when appropriate. The new Elio-Cook line "Eventually." is minutes away from launch. At launch our models will..

*The presenters voice fades out as the camera cuts to Freddie bursting out of the bathroom, red eyed. As he bursts through the door, a variety of knock off children's watches fall out of his bag*

Freddie: Shit.. Argh fuck sakes. *He starts scooping them all up and then looks up and sees the door labelled "Models only." He double takes and stares for a moment. He looks back down at his watches.*

Freddie: Heh, Might as well make some money while I'm at it.

*He strides towards the door in confidence*

*The camera cuts to the models room where they're all getting ready. A variety of conversations are being had. They are all cut off by a knock at the door*

*One of the models open the door*

Model 1: Give us a break! Were almost rea- Oh,

*Camera cuts to reveal Freddie at the door*

Model 1: Hello hot stuff * she starts touching his chest and he grins *

Model 2: Erica no! *whispers* thats Mr Cook's kid! * Freddie looks disappointed, uncomfortable with the fear people feel when they find out his relation to his father *

Model 1: Oh no are we fired?!

All models: Fired!? *they all burst into tears*

Freddie: *whispers* oh yeah, these are the right kinda people.

Model 2: Huh?

Freddie: Nothing, nothing. Would you ladies be interested in some.. accessories?

Model 1: Erm, respectfully, no thank you, i think we're hot enough thanks.

Model 2: Yeah what she said!

Model 3: Yeah what she said!

Model 4: Yeah what she said! *turns to model 5 while brushing her hair* What did she say..?

Freddie: I mean are you sure? Not even, these? *shows children's watches*

All models: *gather around quickly and gasp* Ooooo.. Chiiiiic..

Freddie: Now I'm open to haggle but I'm going to start these off at 30 quid per-

*Camera cuts to Freddie's hand, all of the watches get snatched away and are all replaced by 180 pounds*

Freddie: *in shock, he pauses and clears his throat* Duuh- pleasure doing business with you ladies!

*he leaves*

* Camera cuts to Madison, she's tapping the table nervously. Jenny holds her hand across the table.*

Jenny: It will be fine Madison they'll love it darling.

Madison: Heh..

*Camera cuts to Madisons face, she smiles a little and turns to look at David who gives her a nod and a smile*

Jenny: How do you feel darling?

Madison: I kind of.. actually finally feel proud of myself..

*Freddie sits down next to his dad*

David: where the bloody hell have you been?

Freddie: * Shrugs * toilet

David: Toilet? what do you mean toilet? you missed the launch!

Freddie: Oh fiddle sticks, that sure is a shame * said sarcastically *

David: At least watch the models you junkie

Freddie: * Smug facial expression. He slumps down in his chair * "Junkie." *He repeats quietly.

Presenter: And now ladies and gentlemen, please can we have another round of applause for our beautiful models!

* The crowd cheer as the models walk out. Lo-Fi plays through the speakers as they walk out. This music choice is unusual for Elio-Cook, but so is this new wave of fashion Madison has brought to the company. This is a new era for fashion, Madison's launch is a huge success. So far.*

Madison: * Smiles and looks at the models. *

*The crowd goes silent and gasp. The camera cuts to the models, all wearing multiple children's watches.*

Jenny: Oh honey is... are they part of the set? They're um.. refreshing darling.

Madison: *Turns bright red and starts shaking*

*The crowd slowly start laughing and Madison gets up quickly and runs away crying.*

David: What the FUCK?

Freddie: * giggles a bit *

David: You little cunt.. is this your doing?!

Freddie: * stops laughing and looks at David * Oh fuck off it was funny-

David: No YOU fuck off, "Freddie". Never fucking come into my life again. You're just a bad luck charm. You ruined tonight, you killed my wife-

* Flashbacks of Freddie's. Remembers his younger self in a car with his Mum. He is happy.The sun is shining She is looking at him. Smiling. He made her laugh. She carries on driving. *

Freddie: Fucking take that back.

David: You've ruined my fucking life, Frederick! Don't ever come near me again.

  * Dramatic pause as the flashback gets darker. Freddie's Mum gasps and there are crashing sounds as the screen goes suddenly black *

Freddie: * Sharply gets up and walks away, his chair falls over. He looks scared and angry. *

* David turns around and notices the camera and crowd were watching the whole time *

David: heh.. uhm... publicity stunt?

Freddie: * Walks into the unisex bathroom, slings his bag into one of the open stalls, closes the stall door and sits down. He grabs his lighter *

* Madison bursts into the bathroom ugly crying and muttering to herself by the sink. She drinks from her flask, spilling most of it down herself, she is unrecognisable. Freddie is shocked by the sudden entrance and almost falls off of the toilet seat, he starts coughing and spluttering because of the smoke he accidentally ate *

Madison: * Quietly *

"oh no shit.. shit shit shit shit"

* tries putting the flask away quickly, wipes tears and makeup smudges *

Freddie:

* Comes out of the stall *

"What's uppppp.. wow you're like. hot."

Madison:

"is it possible that you're more wasted than i am..? because.. i- do not look good right now" * sniffs *

Freddie:

"Uh most likely uh.. *stumbles* yeah."

Madison:

"Who the fuck even are you.. I know everyone here except you. Did you sneak in..? Do I have to call security??"

Freddie: * Practically runs up to her and puts his hand over her mouth, Maddie notices that he smells like weed but doesn't say anything *

"No..no.. security.. My dad.. My dad brought me here.. to like improve his reputation..some shit like that.. Anyway how do I know you're meant to be here, who're you..? "

Madison:

"You don't know-? * Smiles * You know what.. nevermind."

Freddie: Seee.. your're like.. a crmiminal aren't you..

* Almost falls onto Madison but she holds him up laughing *

Madison: *Tells him the address and they drive away*

* Arrived. Madison notices Jacks car is gone and stares at the empty space for a second.*

Freddie: Whats up?

Madison: *snaps out of it and looks Freddie up and down.* "Nothing.." *she smirks*

*They both get to the door and Madison fumbles with her keys *

Freddie : " That's a big door.. "  * Between kisses staring at the house and how huge it is * " and a big house.."
