Junior Year - Twists and Turns

Chapter 11 - Trippin'

I was freaking out the rest of the day because he told me that he loved me and like I knew he probably didn't even mean it, but it was said. My uncle had to go run some errands so I tagged along and bought myself some Arizona sweet teas because I knew I needed to be hydrated if I was going to take 16 Coricidin pills. We got home and I went to make sure my pills were still hidden in my drawer, but this time I decided to read the box. All it said was that it helps with blood pressure and other shit, I put them back and went to do laundry early just in case the pills would affect me bad and boy that was a good idea.

I left the cloths so that I could fold it during the movie and got myself set up to take the pills, I went to my closet and just stared at the box for a while. I wasn't sure how I would react to the pills and wasn't sure if I should even take them at all anymore. I grabbed two full water bottle and the box and locked myself in the bathroom. I was in there for 20 minutes because I still wasn't sure if I should or shouldn't take them, my sister came to knock on the door and yelled, "Andrea! Uncle wants to know if you're gonna watch the movie cause it's about to start"

Shit I forgot that we rented Rio 2 and I wanted to watch it, "Yeah, I'll be out soon, just click play."

I heard her run off and I opened the box and started taking the pills one by one. I almost threw up because taking those pills was just a struggle, having to keep them down especially. I threw the box away and then threw some toilet paper on top of it. I walked out of the bathroom feeling sick and I walked into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and yelled to my uncle, "Start the movie I'm just going to get on of my Arizona's."

I drink like a forth of the can and put it back on the fridge and go sit on the couch where a pile of just washed laundry was there waiting to get folded. I get everything done and try to watch the movie at the same time but nothing about it was really catching my attention at the moment. I finish and put the cloths in my moms room and I go back to the living room to lay on the couch. The movie is almost getting to the halfway mark and I'm finally getting a reaction from taking the pills.

The movie seemed like it was just fading in and out, but in reality it was just me getting drowsy. I kept waking up in between scenes and then at one point I just knocked out. It was 8 when I took the pills and the last time I remember seeing was 8:30. In half an hour the pills hit me hard. When I woke up my mom was sitting on my tummy bouncing up and down, then she put an ice cream tub on my forehead and asked, "Are you awake?"

I was fried as fuck to even give a fuck as to how I answered but I looked at her and said, "Yes that's why my eyes are closed."

She got off of me and walked away I guess to her room and the next time I woke up was like 10 minutes later to go pee from when I took the pills. I looked at the time and it was like 11:20 and I was just like wobbling from one side to another hitting the wall as I walked down the hall to get to the kitchen. I walk in there and my moms boyfriend is standing there cutting some type of food and even though I know I shouldn't have done this I stared him dead in the eye.

I kept walking, straight past him like I never even saw him. He just looked at me weird because I was walking all funny and shit. Once again, I don't know why I did this, I stood next to my mom and started having a conversation with her, "So, Star said she's going to a Prince Royce concert and she said she can pay for me if we can pay her pack afterwards."

"Okay, that's fine," she said as she looked up from a take-out box of a sandwich. She offered me some but I didn't want any.

I went back to lay on the couch and fell asleep again. I kept getting up every 10 minutes to check my phone and Erick was the only one I was really talking to. I dozed off again and this time when I woke up all I saw on TV was a naked man running away through an office. I got up and said, "Why is there a naked man on the TV... weren't we watching RIO.... birds... what in the world."

My uncle mumbled something and I just didn't know what the hell was going on, I got up and left with my phone and charger. I got to my room and my little sisters were in there playing with paint. I'm tripping so hard that I didn't even care that they had pain on my bed. Kimberly, the one that comes after me looked up at me and asked, "Can we do your hand print on this?"

"I... guess..." I said trying to walk towards them without falling.

She grabbed my hands and just smothered paint all over them. I was just laughing the entire time and I couldn't see the paper so she grabbed my hands and just pushed my hands hard against the paper. She let go and said, "Done! Thank you."

They kept painting and I walked into the bathroom to wash off the paint. When I walked back into the room they were just staring at me and the room was spinning, I got into bed and under the covers and knocked the fuck out.

I woke up 4 hours later, it was 4 am and everything was like I was cross eyed, it was pretty trippy. I got off the bed and as I walked to the door I realized my mouth was so fucking dry. I checked my phone and messaged Erick saying that I just woke up and I didn't really remember most of my night. His reply was, "Damn girl you was fucking fried."

I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and saw paint all on my boobs, face and hair. Then I look at my hands before I try to clean my face and they were all blue... completely blue. I wash my hands and face as much as I could and then go watch TV until I see my mom and her boyfriend come out of their room, "Hello Mother."

"Hello Daughter," she says as she's putting on her boots.

I think of something to say that won't sound stupid, "Were you sitting on me last night? And then put an ice cream tub on my forehead?"

She looked at me weird and then said, "Yeah I did, were you really that tired?"

"Yeah, and now I have paint on this part of my hair and hands from whatever Yessie and Kimberly were doing last night," I was so glad she said she did that or else she would have figured something was up.

She got up off the couch and asked, "Do you wanna go?"

"Sure," I got up and went to put on my shoes and then we were out the door.
