Madrid, Spain is a hell of a long way from Britain. This distance seems to further increase when you're in the worst physical condition of your life. After a 4 hour long trip on his private jet, Eric Quillington finally arrives. Walking through the streets, pale and sweaty, is a difficult task enough, made worse by the fact that he has no idea where Jason is, and has left his phone back home. Hoping to find help, he calls out to the people around him by using the only Spanish he knows, something taught to him by Matt Roberts.
Eric: Me gusta joder ovejas... me gusta joder ovejas.. |

Jason, who is wandering about the city aimlessly for some fresh air, comes across Eric.
Jason: E-Eric?! |

Not even bothering to think of just how lucky it is that he stumbled upon Jason in the middle of such a populated city, immediately gives his friend a hug. Looking as though he will pass out any second, he speaks with a slight slur and stutter.Eric: Ah, Jason, m'boy. Knew I'd find you, and I knew this would be a good idea. My doctor told me it wouldn't be advisable to travel while going through heroin withdrawal, but fuck 'em, what does he know? Anyways, how're you holding up?

Jason: Fucking awful man! Cassie cheated on me with that Merjos guy, well, not exactly cheated, but cheated enough, I've tried to kill myself and I've been having, like, serious thoughts over the last couple of days. I'm so sorry for neglecting you all this time though man... I'm never going to do it again, alright?
He hugs him tightly.
Jason: You look fucking awful, no offence. How are you? |

Upon hearing Jason's truthful comment of just how terrible he looks, Eric pops his collar, puts on sunglasses, and slicks back his hair. Sadly, this does the opposite of it's intended purpose, and just makes him look like a tool.
Eric: Don't worry about it, man. You've got some major issues going on, so I'm not going to be an attention-whore during this. What exactly happened, though? Like, how did you and Cassie split up? It seemed to be going strong the last time I talked to you. |

Jason: Well... I didn't split up with her... it was going perfectly... until she decided she'd rather be with that knob jockey Hayden Merjos. I love her. I always will. She's shattered my heart into pieces. That's not important right now though, let's go find somewhere to talk...
he sighs and puts his hands on his hips. |

Eric: I don't know who this Hayden punk is, but I imagine you're a better catch than him. You're Jason Smith, for fuck's sake. Anyways, yes... private place to talk. D'you have a hotel room? The more luxurious, the better. It's miserable out here.
On top of the painful symptoms of his heroin withdrawal, Eric is also developing heat stroke. |

Jason puts his arm around Eric and leads him in the direction of the hotel room.
Jason: Come on dude... you look like you're in pain. And no, you can see why she went for Hayden really... he's younger than me, "prettier" than me, has an interesting surname and, for some reason, girls seem to like douchebags.
He realises how hypocritical this is, before taking Eric inside.
Jason: Madrid is smaller than I thought... |

Eric: Madrid? Yeah, tiny bit... it's like a little... London. Just like London. Except it's not. And people speak Spanish and not English. As his words and sentences become more broken up and nonsensical, Eric stumbles into the elevator with Jason. Leaning against the wall, he quickly slides down the side of it into a sitting position.Eric: I think I'm just gonna nap here for a bit. It's a nice wall. Cozy. You go up to your room, though. I'll stumble across you eventually. Always do. After giving Jason a feeble smile, Eric's head droops and hits the floor.Edited by user 19 September 2011 05:36:07(UTC)

Jason sighs and picks Eric up in his arms. He then takes him out of the elevator and enters Laylas room again. He plops him on the bed and sits back on the chair, watching a Spanish TV programme. He has limited knowledge of Spanish, but enough to understand what's going on. He sees Layla.
Jason: Hey. |

Jason throws a cup of cold water over Eric as he watches TV to wake him up.
Jason: So... uhhhhh... I think I'm gonna be going to London tomorrow. Do you wanna come? |

She stops brushing her hair and shrugs.
Lady Raine: I don't know, should I? I don't think you need me anymore, you've got your best friend now.
She turns and looks at him. |

Layla sits there for a moment then she gets up and walks out. She shakes her head then walks downstairs to go into the city again. |
