Chapter III: Drink & Forget

I entered the party, quiet and reserved as I silently observe my surroundings, I averted my eyes in what I thought was disgust and discomfort by all the people fucking around, only to realize that it was embarrassment stemmed from re-imagining them as Kayden and I. I felt my face heat up at the thought. I looked at a girl who seemed to be approaching me. 
“Oh wow! You must be Keith, Shane told me alot about you… you look so much bigger in real life than I imagined!” She murmurs suggestively. 
“I'm.. glad to hear that…”
“Why don't you have a drink with me?”  She says while pulling my arm, “Come sit over there with me!” she drew me closer with a subtle yet alluring gesture. 
I smiled awkwardly while I was dragged towards a couch. With drugs and drinks scattered all over the place, she handed me a drink that was already on the table. “Drink up, Don't be shy!”  she urged, leaning in closer to my arm, giving it a slight hug.  
I drank it, the burning sensation hitting the back of my throat, but it felt a thousand times worse. I instinctively clutch onto my neck, feeling the heat course through my neck to my stomach, and release a nervous chuckle. 
“That was a pretty harsh drink…” I say.
My body starts to react to the hard booze in almost an instant, I realize it wasn't your typical alcohol drink. 

I rested my head on the girl's shoulder as my vision turned into a blur. I lounged back on the couch, sinking into the cushions with a lazy slouch, weak and dizzy.
“Look at him after just one drink, how cute!” A girl from the distance says. 
Feeling a bit woozy, my senses dull and my movements extremely unsteady, the girl makes me look at her, tenderly cupping my face. She kissed me, as our mouths met, my vision blurs completely, feeling overwhelmed by my dizziness from the booze. I close my eyes as our kiss deepens involuntarily. 
As I re-open my eyes, Kayden was suddenly In Front of me, kissing me passionately as he caressed my cheek just as tenderly. 
"Kayden!-" I say. 
He shushes me, only to let out a little giggle afterwards. 
"What are you doing here?" 
"I was planning on doing you, actually. Thanks for asking." He says slyly, winking at me seductively. 
I flush at the comment.  He continued to kiss me as he slowly went down to my chest. He unbuttoned my shirt, revealing more of my body. I groan in pleasure, feeling the touch of kaydens lips on my chest. I’m still confused about Kayden's sudden presence, wasn’t he upset with me? I hold his waist as he goes down further, tugging at the waistband of my pants, running my fingers through his soft hair, I feel delight over his touch after what felt like an eternity. His warmth floods through me for the first time in weeks, weeks felt more like years. As he caresses my body up and down, his cold touch sends shivers down my spine. I close my eyes, finally feeling relaxed, my sense of worry seems to melt away. 
I get on top of him as I engage in a gentle grinding motion against him. 
“Oh.. at least warm me up, big guy..” I hear a girl moan in a husky tone. I felt my eyes widen as I heard her voice instead of Kayden's. 
I made myself get up, still weakened from the alcohol. I'm not normally good with alcohol.. but I could normally handle more than that. I look around, everywhere I look is a blur, I saw what looked like pills scattered all over the table near the glasses of alcohol. That's when it hit me, like a brick to the head. 
I was spiked. 

“Where are you going? You can’t just leave me here after what you’ve done to me!” the girl yelled at me, reaching her hand out to reach me. 
"Are you out of your damn mind? What were you thinking?" I scream at her furiously. "Do you know how fucked up that is? Those drugs could kill people!" I storm off, tripping on my own shoes. 
I look around at my surroundings, seeking shelter from the relentless downpour of rain outside. I ran, running desperately, frantically looking for a way to escape, away from them, from the drugs. I feel the drugs take over, and I feel my own consciousness slipping away from the tips of my fingers. Slowly succumbing into the effects of the drugs. 

I lean back at my office chair, rocking back and forward anxiously. I wipe the cold sweat dripping forming on my skin. Must be from the drugs. 
I hear my phone ring, the annoying buzzing noise ringing in my ear. I proceed to pick the phone up, only to see Kassandra calling me. 
"Hello?-" I was cut off by Kassandras yelling. She wasn't yelling like usual, however. His voice carried a tinge of fear and concern in it, like something dreadful had happened. And with all the drugs the boss had given me, I doubt my ability to handle any more problems.  
"Kayden! Keith, he was at a party." 
"A party? Keith? He knows he doesn't handle alcohol or loud noises very well.. he only goes to parties with me. Do your job properly, kass." I say in disapproval. That's when I heard the rest of Kassandras story.
"Me and Kristian tried catching up with him— but we lost him.. I think he's hiding in a parking lot nearby." 
My eyes widen in shock, gradually, slowly but surely realizing the situation that has dawned on me. Keith is in danger, but it isn't common for him to cower this way, was he drunk? My mind swirled with these overwhelming thoughts until Kassandras voice cut through the chaos, calling out to me.
"Find him."
"Yes sir." They said back immediately and ended the call. 

I look at my watch, the watch that showed me Keith's exact location. It was true. He wasn't at home, he was at a place that— seemed familiar, but I couldn't wrap my finger around it. I felt the cold medicine flood through my body. I let out a rough grunt of pain. Keith, I told you to stay at home. What the fuck do you think you're doing?...
I realize Keith's location. The feeling of shock courses through my body, widening my eyes. 
My mind returns to the time where my boss asked me how important Keith was to me. Maybe he's finally making his move on me. 
I pay attention to the red glowing dot on my watch, signaling Keith's location, the red glowing dot begins to shift.. gradually picking up speed, but not at the speed of a human walking. It's almost as if he was in a vehicle—a car! Boss!
