Shrunk

Chapter I - Part 4 - Friend In Need

(Present day)

"Jay it's Adam, please help me" you shout out frantically hoping that he hears your plea.

Jay crouches down to get a closer look.
"Adam is that you, why the fuck are you that small. What the hell man, how?!" Jay looks at you confused but you are grateful that he's spotted you.

"Help me, I don't feel safe" a thought pops into your head, 'I wonder if he can even make out what I'm saying.
"Man I can't hear what you're saying, is it ok for me to pick you up. I might be able to hear you better, maybe I need to turn this music down."

Jay reaches down, his thumb and his index finger and picks you up by your waist. You all sudden feel nauseous as he lifts you up to his face, it feels like a fair ground ride. His gaze is overwhelming and you feel all flustered and exposed, there's an awkwardness as he observes your body with his eyes. You can feel his breath, it's like a breeze running across your entire body. A moment later he speaks "right let me sort this music out, I'll take you with me to be safe"

Jay starts moving and takes you in his hand, making his way up the stairs, you start to feel nauseous again. 'I hope I'm not sick' you think to yourself. Jay walks into his bedroom and turns off his stereo.
"That's better now maybe I will be able to hear and understand what you're saying" Jay says as he puts you on his computer desk.

"Jay I don't understand, I took this pill on the way over and I didn't think I would end up like this! How is it possible?"

Jay sits down on his chair and starts to explain what he heard on the news the previous day.

"So I'm stuck like this?!" you shout "There's no cure, it's irreversible?
Jay sees the look on your face and try's to reassure you "Look mate, we can try to get help and maybe they will run some tests. There must be a way to get back to normal size. For now you'll have to stay with me and I'll look after you, protect you. You're barely a few inches tall, I don't want anything happening to you" Jay lifts your head up with his finger, you start to get a bit emotional.

"I don't want you telling anyone or informing anyone that this has happened, I don't want to be tested like a lab rat and I don't want to be put in any situation that might put me at risk" you say frantically. "Can't we just keep this between us until we figure out what to do next?"

Jay looks away for a second and then turns his head back to you, he smiles. "Well we will have to do that then won't we, you're gonna have to make sure you stay in my room and out the way of my housemates. God knows what they would do if they saw you." Jay says with a worried look on his face.

"Well I was looking forward to our night out but I guess we will have to just chill here! What shall we do?"
