WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10th 1987
"i gotta be honest, i thought i'd never see you again." iris, river's agent looks directly at me.
i sigh, sinking further into my chair.
she and michael are standing in front of the table river and i are seated at.
"what the hell happened last night?" michael asks, visibly frustrated.
"we got drugged." river groans, running his hands down his face.
"how did this happen? you didn't stay at the party with them?" michael asks iris.
"oh, don't put this on me. you're telling me you go to every party kennedy is at?"
"most!"
she rolls her eyes and then tosses the newspaper on the table.
river and i look at it. it's a photo of the two of us walking into the party last night, we both look rushed and worried.
"you see the headline?"
river phoenix takes kennedy white to party in bel air, what will his girlfriend think?
"this is great!" she announces.
"great?" michael almost yells, "these two got drugged last night and you're happy over the publicity?"
"they're alive, aren't they?"
i pick up the paper and begin reading the article.
"what if they weren't alive? would you like that publicity just as much?" michael argues.
i audibly gasp.
"what?" river asks, peeking over my shoulder to read along with me.
"it says, party goers saw the two head into a room and never come out."
"wonderful, what is martha going to think about this?" river looks to iris.
"and jason." i shake my head.
"where is jason?" michael speaks up.
"i don't know!" i exclaim.
"as great as this publicity is, there's also this." iris hands river and i a second newspaper.
stabbing at party in bel air, 4 injured, 1 dead.
"there was a stabbing last night? who just goes around and stabs people?" river's eyes are almost popping out of his head.
"so do you think it's great now?" iris turns to michael, "if they weren't passed out in that room together, they could've been the ones injured or dead."
"god bless the roofies." i sarcastically mumble.

it's around 2 in the afternoon and i'm finally back home.
michael dropped me off and gave me his suit jacket to wear since i'm still in the clothes i wore to the audition yesterday.
the minute i open my front door, i'm met with the corey's inside my house.
"ken!" haim runs to me, engulfing me into a tight hug.
"we heard about the party you went to, are you okay?"
"i guess so." i mumble into his chest before he pulls away.
feldman hugs me as well, "at first we heard about you going with river and we were jealous, but then michael told us about the stabbing and that you two were drugged?
