The people have spoken! So, here it is!
Addiction pt2

Evan's world was all blurry twisting colors.

Jonathan's world was fuzzy and distorted.

He didn't even know where Jonathan was by now it's only been a few weeks but he would bet money that he's in North Carolina again. He tried to contact Luke if only just to check and see if he was okay, but Jonathan must've gotten to him first because he'd already blocked Evan's number, social media, and hell even deleted him off Xbox and Steam. 

It took a few years but eventually everyone had stopped hearing from him, even Luke. 

Evan had just assumed that he had found a nice guy and they were probably in France enjoying their honeymoon drinking coffee and talking about the future and that was okay with him, that's what he told himself at least. So long as Jonathan was supposedly happy somewhere Evan felt like he could move on but that never happened. 

The only time Evan seemed able to get Jonathan off his mind was when he was higher than the fucking clouds. Though that was rare now a day, he barely smoked since Jonathan left. He barely even looked at the damn thing because it reminded him that his addiction was the downfall of everything in the first place. Though he always caved when the urge became too much.

When Luke called him up one day and asked if he wanted to go to a party in Utah Evan didn't even hesitate to accept. He might not have been as close to Luke but he wouldn't pass up the chance to reconnect with an old friend. 

"I never know, maybe it'll be good for me."

Famous last words anyone.

He and Luke had met at the motel before they headed to the party. Surprisingly it wasn't as awkward as one might imagine. They actually had quite a bit to talk about though the subject of Jonathan was still touchy for the both of them they weren't at each other's throats which surprised both of them though they didn't actually voice it aloud.

"Alright, you ready?" Luke called to Evan checking the time on his phone. "I need to move quick if I want this to work.." he mumbled to himself as Evan walk out of the bathroom. His hair was in his signature faux, along with his aviators. He had a thin hoodie and dark pants with a pair of canvas shoes. Luke gave him a once over and smiled. "You clean up nice." Evan chuckled shaking his head. "It's an acquired skill, being who I am." Luke nodded when his phone dinged.

"Are you sure about this Mar? I mean I used to be an alcoholic for god's sake, do you really think taking me to a party is a good idea?" Jonathan asked pacing the room and Marcel nodded. "Jay you need to relax!" he grabbed the man's shoulders and forced him down into the chair. "We're here to get you back out there. You've been cooped up in your house for nearly a year, I just didn't give a shit about boundaries and dragged you down here with me." he smiled. 

Jonathan sighed. "Whatever... But if I get shit faced drunk then it's technically your fault I'm back at square one." he pointed an accusing finger and Marcel scoffed. "The only drugs at this party are the tainted smoke machines and spiked punch bowls." Jonathan huffed. "My point exactly."

The smoke vapor settled in a thick fog across the floor making the room smell like strawberry. "They come in flavors?" Jonathan asked with a raised brow and Marcel laughed handing him a red cup. "Before you say, I know. But you've been clean for three years, I think you can handle just one." Jonathan sighed taking the cup. "Just one.." he told himself. 

Just one.

Evan took a few sniffs. "I didn't know they made vapes capable of something like this.." Luke chuckled. "You'd be surprised." Luke walked away leaving him by the door standing there until he came back with two red party cups and Evan sighed shaking his head. "I thought this was a party." Luke rolled his eyes handing him the cup before turning and scanning the crowd.

It took a few minutes until he and Marcel caught each other's eye and they both smiled meeting half way. Luke placed a quick kiss on his lips before he looked back at Evan who was slowly taking sips from the cup wandering aimlessly. "They have no idea do they?" Luke asked smiling and Marcel chuckled. "About us, or the fact that this is a setup?" Luke shrugged. "Both."

Jonathan could already start to feel the vapor start to fog up his head and the drink Marcel handed him only made the process speed up a bit, though he kept himself controlled only taking small sips so he didn't have some kind of relapse. He fought hard to get clean and it had been at least three years since he even thought about having a drink. Sure leaving Evan was hard but he'd moved on, not really. But he was pretty sure that Evan was probably at home getting ready to spend the rest of his life with some pretty girl, sleeping in the same bed where they used to...

Jonathan broke from his thoughts feeling something wet and sticky he saw that he'd crushed the cup in his hand at some point. He sighed shaking his head and went to find something to do, what was he supposed to do? He didn't know but for some reason, he followed the smell of strawberries seeing a small group of people sitting in the corner 'passing it around' as one would say. 

One of the girls noticed his staring and got up. "Hey, dude! Come on, stay watch the show! Is this your first time? Where you from? You gotta girlfriend- NO! Boyfriend, I can see the tension built up all over you. Come sit relax, let your mind flow free with the scent of strawberries. Let your aura return back to a soothing blue." she giggled and the man sitting against the wall called her out. "Lara, shut up! We haven't even started yet!" she rolled her eyes with a smile pulling him to the circle. "Okay but really dude, I can see the tension on you. How long has it been since you kicked back and just let the world give you a nice once over?" Jonathan chuckled. "About six years ago when I walked out of the apartment I shared with my ex." he didn't look up and the glass bottle was pushed in his direction without warning. "You should start man, you sound like you need it."

Evan didn't know how many drinks he'd had by now. Probably only two or three but this stuff was strong whatever it was and his head was already starting to buzz and things started to get blurry, distorted. "Is this what Jonathan always felt like?" he asked himself as he grabbed another. He could see how this can become addicting. Honestly, if he could do anything to bring the other man back he would. Wrap him in his arms and ask him to stay forever and never let him go, he'd suffer through anything to see him again even if it's only from a distance sitting with a group of strangers in a high circle. He smiled dumbly. "Jonathan..." 

It wasn't until he heard him laugh that his head seemed to clear and he began to see just a bit better. "Jonathan."

Hello again! Guess I'm looking at another Trilogy, huh..? XD
So, smut for the next part? Yeah... I think so steamy smut will go nicely with the next part.
So, without further ado, I bid my HEllions farewell.
