I send a quick text to Alex telling him that I'm leaving to his house. I throw my red hoodie on and grab my keys and phone. I ended up leaving later than planned because of the whole thing with my mom. I open my window and stick my legs out. I crawl out of my window and shut it quietly. I walk down the side of the roof and jump down. I walk along the side of the house to the backyard where my car is parked. I get into my car and plug in my music and drive off. I turn on one of my favorite artists Post Malone and let myself chill out. It takes me about 20 minutes to get to Alex's house but when I arrive I can already tell he has people over considering the amount of cars there are. I get out and lock my car and walk up to Alex's. I knock a few times and then walk in. There's a few of my friends here but also some people I don't know.

"Hey Vic what's up?" We do that one handshake basically everyone knows. "Aye what's up, haven't been doing much lately." He nods. "I gottchu."

I take out my wallet and grab some money out.

"Nah bro I got you, remember?" He says.

"Nah I know I was just wondering if I could by 2 tabs of acid and a bag."

"Oh yeah sure, the acid is 10 and the bag is 35. Got some new bud too, I don't remember the name it was God something so I just call it God because it makes you feel like God. So good luck with this bud bro." I laugh and sit down in a chair. I grab my bong out of my bag and fill it with some water. I grind up a little bit of my weed and smoke a few bowls. After an hour or so I decide I should probably get going.

"Hey, I'm gonna bounce I'll talk to you later." I tell Alex. "Alright, see ya bro." I walk outside and I don't actually realize how high I am till I walk outside. "Holy shit," I whisper to myself. I walk over to my car and jump in. I grab my bottle of water and a little over a half tab of my Xanax. I know it's a really bad idea to do it while driving, but when was the last time I cared?



My body feels so... relaxed. I have nothing going through my mind. Everything is slow and nice at the same time. Everything feels so vivid.

"...Vic? Vic answer me." My mind is so clouded over.

"Vic, answer me. You're just mumbling." I feel so good.

"Vic why do you keep doing this to yourself." The words flow out of two soft, pale lips. The lips that belong to Kellin. He looks at me with worry, but I can see he's kind of amused that I can't form proper words. I smile and lean forward and grab Kellin and pull him onto me and wrap my arms around his middle. He smiles at wraps his arms around my neck and embraces me. It feels so nice to hold him. My body is so relaxed I feel like I'm melting into him. I situate us so that Kellin is sitting on his bed and I'm between his legs.

"You look so nice." He says. "Shh," I hush him and take part of the pill out of my pocket and hold it up to his lips. "Open." I whisper. He looks unsure and I tell him that it'll feel great. He sighs and parts his lips and I place it in his mouth. I run my finger tips along the side of his jaw and admire him. I wouldn't have the confidence to act like this towards him while I was sober. I haven't had an actual relationship since I was 15 years old, and I'm very... fond of Kellin. I'm sure he doesn't feel the same, or maybe he does, but I don't really care right now.

"My body feels like... like... cotton candy." Kellin randomly whispered to me and I couldn't help but snicker at him which eventually turned into both of us laughing. He's not really one to do drugs; he hardly ever even smokes or drinks. I have to always try and convince him to.

We've been laying in his bed for who knows how long at this point. Kellin sits up from looking at me and begins to talk. I can't understand what he's saying, it feels like I'm in a tunnel. I find myself slowly slipping into blackness as I hear him try to talk to me, until I finally fall asleep.
