"Ray, hurry the fuck up!" Smitty shouted from outside of my room, making me laugh slightly. 

"Bro I have to do my makeup! How else will I attract the men at the bar?" 

"We're not even going to the bar first! We're going shopping with Matt!" He said and I rolled my eyes. Of course we were. When were we not if we were going out?

I finish my makeup and walk out of my room, meeting Jaren at my door. He smiled and walked away, me trailing behind. He grabbed his keys and we left, and then we set off to Matt's house. 

— ~ — ~ — 

We got there soon enough and he got in the car with us, and we were now heading off to the mall. 

"Why do we need to go shopping in the first place?" I asked the two boys who were now in the front seat, because I got into the back for Matt to be by Smitty. 

"I don't know. Why not?" Smitty responded, now pulling into the parking lot. I sigh and we get out once he finds a spot, soon going into the mall and heading to the first store. 

We didn't know were to go, so we walked into any store we could. They forced me to go into stores that I wasn't that interested in and I forced them to go into stores that they weren't interested in. 

"Ray, what is this used for?" Blarg asked me, holding up a random piece of makeup. 

"Read it, you'll figure it out." I say and go back to shopping for some other things. 

We were looking at facewashes now, me picking out the ones that I knew I used. The two boys kept looking at random things and showing it to me, asking what it was for to which I just responded to read the labels.

 We were done going to the stores that I was interested in, now we were leaving the mall and heading to the bar. 

"Who's ready to get fucked up?" I asked and smiled. I was the only one who was truly going to get fucked up, but the others would also try to get as drunk as they could, but safely. 

— ~ — ~ —

I was still stood next to Smitty and Matt, me being drunk as fuck now. I watch as some hot dude walks up next to me, smiling. 

"Hey, do you want to come with me?" He asks and I nod. He took my hand and dragged me away from where I was. 

"So, what's your name?" I slur, looking at the taller man who had pulled me away from Smitty and Matt. 

"That's something you don't need to know, dear." He shushed, putting his finger in front of my mouth. He pulled me closer to him, wrapping his free hand around my waist. 

He smirked, pulling out an orange prescription bottle. The label was ripped off, small white pieces of paper still left behind. He twisted the white child-proof cap, taking it off and tapping the side of the bottle on his hand. Small white pills plopped in his hand, and he held them close to my face.

"Do you want one?" He asked. There wasn't much time for me to respond before he cupped the hand that held the pills over my mouth, forcefully shoving them in my mouth before taking the shitty drink he was holding and dumping it in my mouth.

"Swallow." He demanded. My eyes widened at the sudden force, doing what he said so he wouldn't get more forceful.

"What were these?" I asked after they painfully went down my throat. 

"Nothing of your concern," he said, his voice low. "Now go back to your friends." He pushed me away from him before turning around, looking around the bar for his next victim.

I stumble back, dizzy from whatever the fuck I was just forced to take. My vision was blurry, and I couldn't see three feet ahead of me. Peoples faces were fuzzy, and I couldn't make out any of their features. I hit people as I stumbled around, knocking myself off-balance. The people turned to face me, but I couldn't hear if they said anything. My ears were ringing and I felt my heart beat faster. I was confused and scared. I was lost. 

I couldn't feel much, but I saw what looked to be two men walk up to me and grabbing my arms. 

I was dragged away from everyone else in the bar, brought to the fresh air. They sat me down on a bench, seeing if that will do anything. 

My heart slowly stopped thumping in my ears, and my breathing went back to a normal pace. I could hear something other than what sounded like church bells or someone humming loudly. I could hear what they were saying, but I couldn't see their mouths moving. 

"Breathe, Ray." They kept saying. My head was down and my chest was heaving. I put my hand over my heart, just feeling how fast it was going. After a few moments of silence, Matt spoke up. 

"What happened, Ray?" His voice was quiet, but still had a tone of concern. At the same time of his speaking, the door to the bar slammed open, followed by some shouts. 

"Why did you think it would be good to drug women?" Someone shouted. I looked up at them, Matt and Smitty doing the same. 

"Why?" The man being yelled at laughed. "I was waiting for one of them girls to sleep with me!" He tried to reason. 

"What type of touch-starved, horny, fifty-year-old man drugs women for sex?" The other person shouted again. 

I look away from the two guys at the door, looking back at the ground. 

"What happened?" I whispered. "Him." 

— ~ — ~ —

They brought me back home, Smitty being sober enough to drive. When we walked in, I went to the couch as they went to the kitchen to grab some things. Jaren walked to me with a bottle of water, Matt trailing behind with something small to eat. Jaren sat down next to me and Matt stayed standing, setting the food on the table next to me. I was handed the water and took it, taking a sip before sighing. 

"Do you know what they gave you?" Smitty asked. 

"All I know was that I was forced and it was in an orange bottle." They nodded. 

"Do you feel okay?" This time Matt asked this. 

"I still can't see properly, but I should be fine." I muttered before taking a bite of the food Matt gave me. 

— ~ — ~ —

Matt stayed for a while before he got tired and left, leaving me and Smitty alone. He brought me to the bed, and sat with me for a while before speaking. 

"Hey Ray, how do you feel right now?" He asked gently. I turned to face him, thinking about everything.

My vision was still fucked up, sure. I was tired. But, I was feeling fine. 

I think. 

"Ray?" 

"Yeah?" He nodded at me to answer his question. "Sorry, um, I think I am doing okay." I stated and he smiled at me. 

"Well, I'm tired so I will be leaving you. Goodnight, Raylee." 

"Goodnight, Jaren. I love you." 

He went to my door and looked back, smiling once again. "Love you too."
