How To Stay Afloat (BxB)

Chapter 78: Did I lose sight of the surface?

"Sam." I hear Harry's voice.

Shouldn't he be at school?

"Sammy, there you are." He says relieved.

I open my eyes and look up to him. I'm lying on a bench on the sidewalk. He leans down to me and touches my shoulders. "Hey, are you okay?" He asks me concerned.

I nod my head slightly.

"Thanks!" He says as he turns around and talks to a random homeless guy.

"Hello? Are you okay? Answer me!" He yells as he shakes me.

"Yeah." I say confused.

He lays his hand on my forehead. "Fuck, he's burning hot." He says.

I watch him look over in the direction he came from. "Adam!" He shouts.

Adam's also here? Did they search for me? Did my dad send them?

I don't remember how I got here. Where the fuck am I? Why am I lying on a bench?

"Is he alright?" Adam asks as he jogs over.

"No, he's not really responding." Harry says anxiously.

I am responding? What the hell?

"I'm fine." I say to them.

"Can you stand up or are you too high for that?" Adam asks me.

I groan and try to sit up. Yep. Definitely too high for that.

"Here. Open the car door in the back." Adam says and then I feel him lift me up. Gym does pay off I guess.

"Let me down please." I say to him.

"Sammy. We're bringing you to the hospital." Harry says.

"No. Don't. My dad is there." I beg them.

I hear a car door opening and then I'm suddenly in the backseat of Adam's car.

"Please don't take me to the hospital." I beg them. "Please."

"Sam. Calm down. We're trying to help you. Did you take cocaine?" Harry asks me, his head turned back to me.

"Uh. Yeah. I think." I say.

"You think?" Harry asks angrily. "How much?" He asks me.

"Uhm. Two lines." I admit.

"Austin said you had a lot of it. How much of it did you take?" Harry asks me.

"Uhm." Why are they questioning me like I'm under investigation? Am I under investigation? Did I kill someone? Oh god. What did I do?

"Stay on your side please, we're there in a minute." Harry says, pressing my shoulder down.

"How much did you snort? Adam, do you know how much is too much?" Harry asks alerted.

"Harry. Calm down. I have no idea. He's gonna be fine. It's not easy to overdose on coke alone. Blowing a few rails won't kill him as long as it's not some pure premium shit." Adam says.

"Okay, okay. Fuck, Sammy. Why do you always have to take so much? Where did you get that?" Harry asks me.

"Just leave me alone." I say angrily. "I don't want this."

"Can you please shut up?" Adam says angrily. "We're not leaving you dumb fuck alone. Your dad asked us to pick you up, so just shut up."

"Dad wants me to go to a rehab clinic. You can't bring me to him." I shout desperately. "Please turn around."

The car stops and I look outside the window. They actually brought me to the hospital.

"I'm gonna drive to school now. Harry, can you bring him to his dad?" Adam says angrily.
