Parker

"How long have I been out," I asked rubbing my eyes sitting up on the floor.

"Eight hours," He snorted "W- we thought you'd never wake up." He laughed rolling on the floor. My stomach felt like it was touching my back. I hadn't eaten in what had to be a couple days.

I stumbled into the bathroom taking a quick piss,"Oh god." I stared into the mirror there were dark bags under my eyes, my lips cracked and dry. My skin pale with grey splotches here and there.

My phone started ringing in my back pocket. I answered without checking the caller I.D.

"Hello?"

"Parker, Parker sweet heart are you okay?" My mother asked through the receiver. I ran my hands over my face regretting that I ever answered the call.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I sighed not knowing what else to say.

"The university called Parker" I froze "They say you haven't been in class for three weeks and
asked if you had any medical issues."

"No mom I'm fine, I just haven't been feeling well lately," I leaned against the wall staring at my reflection.

"Sweet heart you had me worried sick," I pinched the bridge of my nose "Do you need me to come up there Parker." I didn't want her to see me like this.

"Everything's fine mom, I promise," I bit my dry lips.

"You don't sound fine? Baby" I held back tears. I'm not fine.

"Mom I'm sorry I'll try to call more, but I really have to go," I said quickly.

"Please sweet heart if you need anything just call me," I nodded.

"I know mom"

There was a knock on the door,"Dude we're doing another round hurry up in there."

I hurried to end the conversation,"Bye mom I gotta go."

"Parker I love y-," I hung up the phone.

I took a deep breathe opening the door everyone sat in the circle passing around a joint,"Damn dude, I thought you'd never come out of that bathroom."

I sat down taking a hit of the joint when it was passed to me. I grabbed the bottle of tequila chugging down as much as I could. Stacey grabbed the bottle,"Save some for someone else pretty boy."

I grabbed a fistful of my hair trying not to think,"I need something stronger." Everything around me seemed like it was falling apart.

"If you get anything stronger than this you'll die kid," I thought about what he said.

"I don't care," he smiled then handed me a fistful of pills.

"Take these"

"What are they?" I asked him.

"The good stuff," he laughed.

I put two of the pills in my mouth grabbing the bottle of tequila. I sat there for a moment,"Holy shit." I could no longer see any of their faces,"W-what's h-happ." I passed out.

The phone dropped out of my hand onto the floor. I recognized the black porsche completely flipped over on its hood. The front of the car was smashed into a tree. The guardrail separating the road from the woods gone.

"Elliot!" I ran screaming her name. It felt as if my feet couldn't move fast enough. A policeman grabbed me "Hey son! I can't let you go over there, it's too dangerous." I pushed passed him "That's my girlfriend, please that's her car!" he let go of me. I stumbled forward running towards the car. A fireman pulled Elliot's lifeless body out of the reck.

Her head was bleeding baldy, she was covered in blood and scraps. "Elliot!" I screamed the sound of glass crunching underneath my feet as I ran. "She's not responding, where's the ambulance!" the fireman yelled still trying to revive her. "No please! Elliot" A fireman grabbed hold of me. "I'm sorry son, we couldn't save her" I dropped to my knees. "Elliot please!" I screamed trying to get to her.

"Elliot!"

"Elliot!"

I slung myself forward,"let go of me I have to see her." I wasn't going to watch her die. I couldn't.

I woke up sweating.
