Theodora rolled up the dollar bill in her hand, leaned over and sniffed the thin line of white powder on the table. She slumped back in the seat, rubbing her nose slightly, energy pulsing through her.

Gigi went next, whooping excitedly and grabbing Theo's hand. Everything was tingling and numb and she could barely feel Gigi's hand in hers.

Her heart thumped against her chest as she stood up with Gigi and they left their booth to go to the bar.

Music pounded loudly in her ears and she could feel each beat pulsating through her body, and it sounded warped as she was dragged along by Gigi.

She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, as Gigi ordered them two shots each. She decided to just go with it and suffer the consequences tomorrow.

They girls downed each one easily, Gigi's grip on Theo's hand still tight so as not to lose her. Her heart seemed to slow down as she smiled to the ceiling for no reason in particular.

She stumbled after Gigi as she dragged her back to their booth. Gigi had obviously hit the sweet spot where she was the perfect amount of drunk. Theo on the other hand...

"Who wants to dance?" Gigi asked the group, which consisted of Andre, Myc, Brett along with other celebrities from the movie.

Andre took a deep inhale from the blunt he was holding, his eyes red. It didn't look like he was getting up anytime soon.

"I'll dance if you dance, Theo." Zac said, standing.

"I'll-" She struggled to say, "I'll meet you on the floor." And with that, Zac and a couple other celebrities left to go to dance.

She slumped down next to Brett on the couch. "Brett," her voice felt like it wasn't her own, "come."

He looked nervous, this was definitely not his scene anymore. He had joined them most of the time when they went out to clubs and parties and sure, they always did drugs and drank a lot, but he had never seen Theo this bad and it made him worried.

"Uh, maybe later." Brett said, sipping on his drink mindlessly.

Theodora nodded, her eyelids getting heavy. She leaned over him, and spoke into his ear, "You'd better."

Brett was sure she hadn't meant to, but Theo's hand was on his thigh, awfully close and he shifted nervously. She then struggled to get up, smiling at him before following Gigi away again.

Somehow Theodora had another drink in her hand as she danced with Zac, their bodies pressed up against each other. It was sweaty and uncomfortable but Theo couldn't care less. Her body felt weak and her muscles felt loose, Zac almost had to hold her up at some point because her legs wouldn't work.

As Partition started to play, Theodora grabbed Gigi excitedly, well at least she hoped it was Gigi. "G-Gigi, it's-"

"BEYONCÉ! That bitch!" Gigi screamed loudly, and both girls squeezed through the crowd to the front where there was a platform.

They climbed onto the platform with struggle, but the crowd was feeling them as they began to dance on display to the whole club.

Theodora was way too drunk to remember the words but danced anyway. Gigi took a hit of her vape before handing it to Theo, who inhaled it, holding it for a second before letting it out slowly. The air around them smelt like passionfruit ice and the French part of the song started playing.

Brett's eyes went wide at the sight of the girls on the platform. Theo didn't look okay, she didn't look like she was even there. Her eyes were hardly open and she could barely stand for a couple of seconds without stumbling or nearly falling off.

He wasn't sure what to do, he couldn't just sit there and watch Theodora kill herself trying to fit in this crazy world. "I'll be right back." Brett said loudly over the music to Myc next to him, who had multiple blunts in his mouth.

"Mm-hm." Myc responded lazily.

Brett stepped outside, the breeze, despite being warm, was like heaven as opposed to the sweaty club. He rang Reagan, growing impatient as he waited for her to answer.

"Brett, it's like 3am." Reagan's voice sounded tired and groggy. "What is it?"

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Brett asked nervously.

"No." Reagan responded sarcastically. "What do you need?"

"It's Theo. I'm worried for her."

"What's she done now?" Reagan didn't seem surprised.

"She's like totally blacked out. I need your help, please. I think she's gonna pass out any second."

"Alright." Reagan sighed. "Send me the address."

Brett paced back and forth as he waited for Reagan's arrival. She finally pulled up in an Uber, disgruntledly approaching him.

"She's inside." He said, turning to the security guard to let them in. "We're on the list." He said quickly.

"Names?"

"Brett Hand and Reagan Ridley." Brett was becoming impatient. "For God's sake, just let us in!" Reagan raised her eyebrows, she had never seen Brett this angry in her life.

"The one night I'm not here..." Reagan sighed as they were allowed in. She wanted to cover her ears as she was met with pounding music, California Love to be precise, that was almost ear-splitting.

Brett panicked as Theo was no longer up on the platform with Gigi, he scanned the room, landing back on their booth, where he noticed her laying down. "There she is."

"Dude," Andre spoke airily as they arrived at the booth. "she legit just passed out."

"You're so useless!" Brett barked, squeezing past him to sit next to Theo. He shook her shoulder gently but she was unresponsive. How could he let her get to this point? Reagan furrowed her brows, her sister had clearly taken some heavy drugs tonight and it kind of frightened her.

Then, Gigi appeared at the table. "Reagan, you're here!" She exclaimed, hugging the girl tightly.

"I'm just here to take Theo home." Reagan explained, as Brett managed to get Theo to sit up.

"Wait, she's going home?" Gigi frowned.

"How could you be so careless?" Brett snapped, he was a little tipsy as well, so his emotions felt heightened. Gigi's mouth opened then closed, not sure what to say, immediately feeling like a bad friend.

With his arm around her, Brett coaxed Theo to her feet. Her head lolled, legs like jelly. "Reagan, order another Uber."

"Uh, okay." Reagan pulled out her phone with shaky hands, the sight of her little sister like this made her sick to the stomach. Her pupils were blown out through her droopy eyelids and her face was pale.

He managed to get her out of the booth, until Zac approached them.

"Woah, is she alright?" He asked, putting a hand on Theo's shoulder.

"Like you care." Brett muttered, before helping Theo out of the club. Zac watched them go, a frown on his face.
