Cough Syrup (Zach Dempsey)

Chapter 18

Marcus's Pov

"What's her problem?" Scott asked Monty as he laughed at Perri who was stumbling into the house

"Who the fuck knows. She's probably on her period." He said causing the guys to laugh

"How much did she have to drink?" I asked and Monty shrugged

"So let's be real man at you hitting that?" Scott asked Monty didn't say anything he just smirked.

"He is! Look at his face." Scott and Jamie laughed

"Shut up man we're just hanging out...for now." He said sinking the last shot, winning the game of beer pong

"Dude you're killing Zach you know that right?"

"Whatever I told him Perri is fucking hot there's no way she's staying single." He said then turned to me

"Alright you know the rules losers get the refills." Monty said I rolled my eyes as I headed towards the house to get more beer.

"Hey Bryce we need-" I froze as I stepped into the kitchen. Bryce had Perri pinned against the counter, and his hand was up her skirt and she could barely open her eyes. I looked at Bryce who just smirked

"She had way too much to drink. I was going to let her lay down in one of the guest rooms." He said with a shrug I just stared at him I didn't know what to say, hearing about what Bryce did to girls and seeing it was two different things. Suddenly I didn't feel like hanging around him anymore

"Did you need something bro?"

"Uh, beer." I said not being able to look him in the eye

"That's it?" He said with a laugh,

"You know where it is help yourself." He said then picked her up and carried her upstairs

I was stuck, what do I do? I pulled my keys from my pocket and left the house.

"Marcus where are you going?" Scott shouted as I walked to the gate

"My mom called she needs her car."I said they started laughing

"You're so lame bro." He said I just walked over to Monty

"You should go check on Perri she's really sick."

"Well where is she?" He asked with a smile

"Montgomery she is sick and Bryce was taking her to a guest room." I told him and he frowned then nodded

I got in my mom's car and drove straight home my parents were in the living room watching a movie.

"Hey you're home early." My mom said and I nodded

"Yeah I got some homework to finish, so I didn't want to stay too late."

"Did you have fun?" Dad asked me and I looked at him not knowing what to say, I thought about telling him everything.

"Yeah, here's your keys mom." I said handing them to her and then I went into my room and called Zach but it went straight to voicemail.

"Fuck!"

Monty

"What the fuck is his problem?" Jamie asked and I shrugged and chugged the rest of my beer

"Hey that asshole left without getting the refills." Scott said and I thought about what he said and I looked around, no Perri or Bryce in sight

"I'll get them." I said then went inside, I looked around and I heard nothing but silence. I went upstairs

"Perri?" I called but got no answer, as Bryce came around the corner with a smirk on his face.

"She passed out in the guest room first door on the right." He said slapping my shoulder as he moved pass me. I went into the room and found Perri passed out on the bed

"Shit Perri?" I walked over and put her in my arms, she was like dead weight but she was still breathing. I checked her pulse it was still going steady

"Perri baby wake up, come on open your eyes pretty girl." I said shaking her, I looked around the room when I noticed not to far from the bed a pair of green underwear, and the blue flannel that Bryce was wearing over his t shirt.

"Shit Perri!" I said shaking her harder and she opened her eyes a little

"Get, off Bryce." She slurred I just looked at her as her eyes closed again. I quickly picked her up and carried her downstairs, and out the front door I laid her in my backseat trying to figure out what to do. I knew I couldn't take her home so I drove to my house. I knew my dad would flip out, I made sure he was sleeping and he was in his chair in front of the T.V with a beer in his hand as usual. I kept as quiet as possible as I carried Perri into my room and laid her on the bed.

I sat on the edge of the bed watching her sleep, I wanted to keep an eye on her I didn't know what happened or what she took. I wanted to go back to Bryce's and find out what happened but I couldn't leave her. I went into the kitchen and got a glass of water and sat it next to my bed then grabbed an extra pillow and laid on the floor but I couldn't sleep
