Pernicious H.S

You get me so high (7)

Even Though I hated the thought of asking Harry for any type of help I knew he was my only option. I thought about just calling an uber but to be honest that seemed unsafe after the scary conversation I just had. So I dialed Harry's number and became nervous as it rang. After only 3 rings the call was picked up,

"Hello? Who is this?" Said the British boy over the phone.

Taking a deep breath I finally answered.

"It's Amber," I say.

"Well what a surprise to be getting a call from you at this time. I hope you aren't booty calling me"

"Trust me I'm not, I need a favor" I say.

The call went quiet then was followed up by a snicker from Harry.

"You're calling me for a favor?"

"Yes, I need you to give me a ride home, please"

"Hmm, Let me think-.......No."

"Seriously please Harry, I'm stranded in the city" I say as I cross my arms.

'Sounds like a personal problem to me, whoever dropped you off can pick you up"

"My ride ended up being an asshole so I can't get a ride from him"

"Is the asshole the same guy from the mall?" Laughed Harry.

I stayed quiet for the moment.

"Yes- He is"

Harry didn't say anything, instead he started laughing over the phone. Finally catching his breath Harry went back to speaking.

"That sucks, the answer is still no" Harry said, ending the phone call after speaking.

What was I expecting? It's Harry he wouldn't do anything for anyone but himself. I stood there on the side of the building leaning against the brick wall. The wind turned cold as it moved past me. Great, now I am outside alone and the temperature is starting to drop. Grabbing my phone I went through my contact one last time to see if there was anyone I missed. I really didn't want to ride in an uber but that seemed like my best bet instead of walking. Looking through my phone I was cut off as it started to ring. I'll be damned, it's Harry.

Answering the phone I heard a sign from the other side.

"What do you want?" I mumbled.

"That's not a very nice hello for someone who is giving you a ride home" Harry sarcastically said.

"Now you want to give me a ride home, why?"

"No reason, I just figured it would be a friendly thing for me to do. Where are you at?"

Even over the phone I could feel he was smirking. There was no way he was doing this just to be nice. He's going to want something in return.

Putting my thoughts past me I told him where I was and waited for his arrival. Spending most of the time watching the door of the restaurant making sure that I don't see Oliver coming out. When I saw no sight of him and the crowd of people leaving died down I went back to my phone.

Shortly after a black car pulled up to the restaurant. Not paying any attention to it, I continue to be on my phone. Soon the black tinted window on the driver's side rolled down.

"Are you just going to stand there? Or are you going to get your ass in the car?" I heard Harry say.

I don't waste any time going to the car, over the fact that I was freezing. Opening the passenger door I entered the car. When I was seated I told Harry where my apartment was. Harry started driving while we sat in silence. Watching the sidewalk as we drove I looked at all the light we passed. The city was always crowded and loud but it looked so pretty. I noticed as we were driving we were going a different direction than I went to get to my apartment.

I then realized we were not going the way to my apartment at all. Instead we were pulling into an empty parking lot. Harry was not paying any attention to me and parked the car.

"You said you were taking me home" I scoffed.

"I said I was taking you home, I never said when" Harry proclaimed turning to me making direct eye contact.

Keeping my mouth shut I slouched back in the seat. While we sat there in silence for a bit Harry leaned toward me. Harry then opened the glove box grabbing out a little bag of white powder. Looking at the powder It soon clicked that it was not just any powder in the bag but coke. I watched Harry as he fiddled with the bag. As I was watching him he must have noticed because he put the bag down and made eye contact with me.

"Did you want some?" Harry questioned placing the bag in front of me.

I soon took a look at the little bag in front of me. It was strange seeing coke in real life, over the fact I have only seen it in my favorite tv shows or movies.

"Um-..I'm good" I stuttered.

Harry nodded his head then spoke once more " Give me your hand"

"My hand?" I asked

"Yes, that's what I asked for. Give me your hand" He demanded.

"Okay..." I mumbled.

Not in the mood to ask questions that I know he wouldn't give me, I placed my hand on his. I watched as Harry took it and separated my pointer finger from the rest. He then took my finger and placed it in his mouth. I was in shock looking at the boy in front of me sucking my finger. Harry removed my finger and gripped my wrist as he grabbed the open bag of coke. Taking the open bag of coke he poured the white powder across my finger. After carefully doing so he raised my finger to his nose. Taking a big huff of the powder he moved slowly across my finger.

When Harry finished he let go of my hand and placed it back on my lap. I was confused on whether I was uncomfortable or amazed by what just took place. All I knew was that my heart was beating ever so fast, and I didn't know how to stop it.

"You should give it a try." Harry suggested. "Maybe it will calm you down."

Taking a deep breath I thought about whether to say yes or no. My first thought was no, but one time wouldn't hurt. Right?

"Fine, only this once." I announced firmly.

Harry's lips parted into a smile. "Only once," He whispered.

Harry took the open bag and set it in his opposite hand. Once more Harry placed his fingers in his mouth and sucked on them. Taking them out he sprinkled the powder in his finger. I watched as he did so, becoming more uneasy about my decision. He then motioned for me to come closer, doing as he told me I leaned my body closer. This time I was the one taking Harry's hand. Harry this time placed his fingers in my mouth. The whole time I could feel his eyes watching my every move. I looked at the hand in front of me trying to work up the courage to do it.

Taking my last breath through my nose I snorted the powder in front of me. Look at me , how the DARE teachers would be so upset. Soon as the coke entered my nose I could feel the burning, god did it burn. Quickly wiping my nose I sat there completely still as I could see Harry from the corner of my eye laughing, I knew I would regret this.
