"Andrew wake your fucking ass up now you piece of shit! You missed the fucking bus again!"
"Whaa-"
"Get your ass up now!"
"Fuck off!"
He threw the blankets over his head.
"You think I'm playing kid?"
Lucas pulled the covers off of Andrew's head and raised his fist.
"What are you gonna do? Hit me? Do it you pathetic scumbag"
Andrew felt a pain in his right eye and everything went black.
"I'm a scumbag? Look at yourself! Get your ass up and go to school! If your mom asks, you got jumped at school for looking like a faggot."
Andrew walked through the halls all day with his head down and his hoodie on.
"Hey Andrew!"
"Hey.."
"Man what's wrong?"
He looked up.
"What the fuck happened to you bro?!"
"My mom's dead beat boyfriend"
"That bastard can't lay his hands on you like that"
"Fuck it man"
"You wanna go out tonight? There's a party at Mike's"
"I don't know.."
"Come on, you can stay at my place. Get away from Lucas, and have a good time. Like old times."
"Alright.."
"Awesome! Meet me at my house after school and we'll fix you up a bit bro"
"Gotcha"
After school Andrew walked to Josh's house.
"Hey Ms.Martinez" he said with a smile
"Andrew! How have you been?"
"I've been better haha, is Josh here"
"Yeah his in his room, go on in!"
He walked into Josh's room.
"Andrew the party man!"
"That was like a year ago"
"Bet you're still a party animal"
"Nah.."
"Here drink this, then we'll go to Mike's"
"What is it?"
"Lean, my boys hooked it up. Its good, I promise"
He chugged the cup and let out a loud belch.
"How you feelin?"
"Great, this stuff is good"
"Alright get in the car, it's party time"
They arrived at Mike's house.
"Josh!"
"Hey Mike this is my bro Andrew, we've been friends since elementary"
"Any friend of Josh's is a friend of mine, want a drink"
"Hell yeah!" Andrew cheered.
Drink after drink, bowl after bowl. The night was going great.
"The big boys are here!" A group of jocks busted through the door. They started handing out pills to everyone.
"What is this stuff?" Andrew asked Josh
"No idea but fuck it, let's have a good time!"
Andrew looked a little worried but he threw the pill in his mouth and took a drink of his beer.
More pills were handed out and Andrew took them without knowing what they were or even how much he was taking.
Hours passed.
"Mike have you seen Andrew?" Joshed asked
"Nah" he continued to make out with a random girl on the couch.
Josh went throughout the whole house "have you seen Andrew? Does anyone know where Andrew is?"
The only answers that filled his ears were "who's Andrew?" "No but is there more beer" and "who's gives a fuck"
Josh thought to himself "maybe he just went home, I gotta take a piss."
He walked into the bathroom, turned the light on, and found Andrew passed out on the floor. "Andrew!" He softly pushed his index and middle finger on his neck. "Help!! Somebody help!!" The music covered his cries for help. He ran down stairs "Mike we need an ambulance now! Andrew's not fucking breathing!"
"Are you serious?! Call 911 I'll clear this place out"
- Hello 911, please state your emergency
My friend, he's not breathing. He passed out.
- Calm down sir what's your location?
9721 Alemeda Dr. Please hurry!
- Someone will be there shortly
Grunts and yells of disappointment filled the perimeter and area of this house as everyone began to leave.
"Fuck this party it was wack anyways!" Yelled some random kid.
The ambulance arrived before everyone was gone. A crowd filled the lawn. They carried Andrew out and Josh followed.
"Are you a family member?" Asked the paramedic
"No sir, he's my bestfriend"
"I'm sorry son but you can't ride with us"
"Fuck no! I'm not leaving his side!"
"You're going to have to meet us at the hospital. Your friend is in good hands"
The ambulance drove off.
"Get the car started!" Josh yelled at Mike.
"No, God no. I lost Lexi I can't lose Andrew too" he cried to himself wiping his tears.
