Try Me

Dominic's POV

I'm so glad.

Andrew has friends now.

I smile to myself, stuffing sushi into my mouth.

"Mmmm dis iz gud..... Wan sum, Drew?"

I slid my plate over toward him, and he looked at me in disgust.

"Don't eat with your mouth full!"

Our friends started laughing.

"He's right, Nic."

"Yeah, you have bad manners."

I pouted.

Charlie perked up.

"Hey, wanna have a party tonight? You know, a party for Andrew?"

We all nodded eagerly.

"Yeah! At 5:30 pm!"

"At Cat's Dinner!"

We all looked at Andrew.

He nodded shyly.

"It's settled then!"

~5:30 pm~

We headed to Cat's Dinner, talking and laughing.

"Here it is!"

Charlie opened the doors, and he all walked into the dinner.

The waitress took us in, giving us some seats in the back.

We sat down, ordering our meals and drinks.

After about 15 minutes, the waitress came to our table with our orders.

She smiled at us, but there was something a little off about her smile.

She noticed me staring at her, and lowered her gaze.

"Hmmm....."

My eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"Hey, Nic, whatcha lookin' at?"

I turned to see Skye staring at me curiously.

I smiled at her softly.

"Nothing."

"Oh."

She shrugged, turning back to Tristan and continuing talking to him.

I rested my chin on my palm, looking at Andrew.

He was talking excitedly with London, Robin and Dylan.

He had his exotic and rare smile on his face.

I lowered my gaze, frowning a bit.

He never smiled at me like that....

He smiles at other people so easily....

My chest tightened a little, and I looked out the window at the growing evening.

It looks like I'm not good enough for Andrew.

I grab my drink and took a sip.

The savory flavor tingled on my tongue, and I looked down at the drink weirdly.

...We ordered juice, right?

I looked at my friends.

Their faces were all a little pink, and they were all acting differently.

I looked at Andrew.

My eyes widened as our eyes met.

He was staring at me, his cheeks a light pink.

"A-ah...."

I covered my eyes with my hand.

He looked too tempting....

...But.... why were they all acting differently?

I took another sip of my drink, and gulped all of it down.

It was addicting.

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and I leaned over the table, clutching my head.

I gripped the glass, but my grip weakened and it slipped, crashing onto the ground and shattering into a million peices.

I gritted my teeth.

"Damn it.... They tricked us..... It's alcohol...."

I fought my eyes from closing, and slammed my fist on the table, getting up, and staggering to the front of the dinner.

Grabbing the waitress's collar, I slammed her onto the wall.

"You damn brat! You got us drunk..."

"A-Ahhh!"

She screamed as I tugged her hair up, lifting her into the air.

My grip loosened, and I felt drowsiness wash over me.

I dropped her to the floor, and soon after, I was also falling to the floor.

"Shit......"

I mumbled, my eyes closing.

"Andrew."

I whispered his name.
