🌻62🌻

after taking the pills, the boys had come back inside to the living room where they resumed what they had been doing beforehand. niall didn't feel any different, although he knew it would take a while for the drugs to kick in. therefore, he reclaimed his spot on the beanbag, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. he's already a little buzzed from the weed, so he felt somewhat relaxed, but that didn't dull the worrying feeling he had from not knowing how the drugs would later take effect on him.

for the time being he tried preoccupying himself with eating, resuming to snacking on the chips he had before. his friends all appeared fine and unbothered by the fact they had just taken drugs, back to being their loud energetic selves. niall sort of fell into a quiet phase, disengaging from everybody while he waited anxiously. it somewhat frustrated him that he seemed to be the only one worrying.

usually, he's happy, easygoing and anxiety free. however, his thoughts were already starting to get troubled. niall isn't the world's most well behaved teenager, in fact he's far from it. but there are just some boundaries that he didn't see fit for being crossed, and this is probably one of those boundaries. weed and alcohol are great every now and again, but certain drugs or substances outside of that were always a line he didn't dare cross, because first of all, his dad would be enraged. especially based off the way he reacts to catching even a whiff of off louis. and second, they could be severely harmful.

therefore he could only imagine what the reaction zayn would have to him taking pretty much ecstasy. niall's ass wouldn't even be grass at that point, it would just be gone—nonexistent.

not only that but also the disappointment liam's eyes would hold..

niall swallows thickly. it'll be okay though right? neither of them have to know. he'll just stay here until the effects wear off and they won't have a clue, none of his family would.

it didn't take very long for the effects of the pill to set in. at first niall simply felt his muscles slightly starting to loosen up, working similarly like a muscle rexalant. nothing too bad, so he didn't worry about it. it was literally just like how marijuana made him feel, just slightly heightened. unfortunately, the teen had no idea that it was only the beginning. shortly after the calming effect set in, he noticed a rise in his heart rate. which didn't alarm him because his friend did mention that it would make their hearts race. after all, it was a party type drug, it's meant to make you feel elated and with that comes an elavated heart rate.

but then he started to feel this discomfort form in his chest, almost like a knot being tied right in between his lungs. the blue eyed boy rubs at his chest in hopes of easing the tightness forming there, but to no avail. taking a deep breath, niall tried to keep calm. albeit, as he sat there, it felt as though the knot in his chest was getting tighter. he sat up, rubbing at his chest some more to relief it, but it wasn't helping, not even a little bit.

niall kept reminding himself to stay calm, telling himself that it was okay, the drug is supposed to make him feel this way, it'll get better, that the pill was really harmless and wouldn't cause him harm. although, as several more minutes pass, his chest growing heavier, like there were cinder blocks placed right on top of him, he couldn't control the panic that started to rush through his veins. not only did the heaviness make it feel like it was impossible to breathe, but his vision started to become slightly distorted and he found it hard to focus on reality.

that mixed with the fact that his heart was already racing, making him feel like he had just run around an entire track field fifty times at full speed without any breaks between. niall stood up quickly from his spot on the floor, instantly regretting it when the room started to orbit. he could hear his buddies talking and laughing around him, but their voices started to sound distorted and muffled. he couldn't hear them over the sound of his heart pounding through his ear drums.
