I was finally leaving the hospital after what felt like forever. I was glad, I felt like I could breathe. As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Mikey and Cal were sitting down. Mike was holding onto Cal in his arms and Cal had a washcloth over his forehead. I was guessing it was because Cal had a fever which wasn't rare especially for his condition. I sat down on the couch, the tv was on mute. I just stared at Malum, they were cute. It was silent in the house. "What's going on" I asked Mike and Mike sighed. "Luke left and he's not coming back." Mike said to me and I just nodded my head. Mike carried a sleepy Cal to the bedroom and placed him on the bed. Mike kissed his forehead before leaving Cal all by himself. "You never told me how you cheated on Luke. In fact you never explained it" Mike pointed out to me and I just stared at him while messing with my hospital bracelet. "Come on Ash, don't you want to give the full side of the story." Mike raised an eyebrow up at me and he was right, I wanted to tell someone so bad and Mike was my friend, so I took a breath before starting the tale of the night that would shape my life tremendously. 

I was at the bar grabbing a drink, I was on my fifth drink and Emily pulled me to the dance floor and we were just dancing. It was harmless to be honest, I was drunk but not so drunk that i didn't realize my decisions but next thing you know the room was spinning around  and I felt dizzy beyond words. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar and I was laying my head down on the counter. The bartender looked concerned and he was saying something but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I was being lifted up and taken away from the bar, the bartender looked like he was arguing with someone. I didn't realize who this person was taking me. I found myself being thrown on something comfortable. I felt plump lips on my skin and I felt uncomfortable and I tried to push this person over but it didn't work at all. This person wasn't catching the hint that I wasn't interested at all. i felt the hands of someone that had cold hands. Luke's hands were nice warm and had a nice touch to them. I would shiver every time Luke touched me and that was true. I figured out that it was girl once I could hear her moaning as she kept touching me. I wanted her to stop and she got off me and I felt my eyes closed shut. When I woke up the next morning, I was naked and in bed with Emily on the side. She had a smile on her face. I got up from the bed quickly trying to grab my clothes but I was still unbalanced and I didn't know what had happened in that moment. I felt sick to my stomach looking at me. "Ash" Emily greeted me and I just glared at her. "What the hell is wrong with you" I screamed at her and Emily put her hands up in defense. "You never told me to stop did you" Emily answered and I just shook my head. "You are unbelievable." I put on my clothes before storming out of her house. I just kept shaking my head as tears fell down and I just sobbed into my hands still feeling slightly out of it. I didn't want to face Luke, I really didn't but I knew I would have to and I would have to tell him the horrible truth that would break his heart. I felt sick inside of me and I ran to the toilet to throw up. I wrapped my jacket around myself and entered the house. 

"Now you know the story of that night" I commented to Mike who looked like he wanted to cry. It was strange to see him that way. "Ash, Emily roofied you" Mike informed me and i just looked down at my feet not saying anything. I knew that she did that but it was kind of hard to remember that night to be completely honest. "You need to tell Luke." Mike was telling me and I just shook my head. "No way, it's better this way. Our relationship wasn't going to last. I'm going to stay in Cali and he was heading to New York." I commented to Mike and Mike shook his head. "He should know." Mike brought up to me and I rolled my eyes. "What has been done is over and that's it" I pointed out to Mike and Mike sighed before leaving me to my own thoughts which hadn't happen since I got home. Mike wanted to check up on Cal and I wasn't going to stop him at all. I just stared at the tv and that's when I took out my cell phone and I dialed a number and he answered. "Hey dad" I said to him while biting my lip while looking down at my feet. I could feel the tears burst out of me while I recited what happened to me during this vacation and Dad was sobbing on the other line. I never saw or even heard my father cry at all. He was doing his best to comfort me and he said the one thing that I knew he would say. I'm going to sue all those people. I couldn't help but laugh and I told my father I needed to get help and that I had to go fix myself before heading to college. I went on my computer and I found a center that I could go to, to get my life fixed in general. I packed up my bags and i knocked on Mike and Cal's door and I gave them a smile. "You leaving" Cal asked me looking much better than he did earlier. "Yup, there's a spot at this inpatient treatment." I informed them. Mike gave me a hug and whispered to me that he was proud of me and Cal hugged me tight. I got into my taxi that was waiting for me and we drove away from the house seeing that Cal was now leaning onto Mike while waving bye. I knew they both were going to head back home to be honest and I was actually glad that the summer was officially over in general. I arrived at the place that would be known as home.
