"LET'S PARTY!" My best friend Nina screamed from the top of the bar. "Get down from there!" I laughed, realizing how stupid my best friend really was. It was my twenty-first birthday and all that was in Nina's mind was partying and expensive champagne. I on the other hand wanted a laid back night, that included stuffing my face with candy and binge watching friends, as usual though we went with Nina's plan. I sat at the bar sipping on some Chardonnay while watching Nina make a drunken fool of herself, AGAIN. All of a sudden a tall handsome slick man slid into the seat next to mine. "Is this seat taken" he said with the most beautiful British accent I've ever heard. "It was....." my voice trailed off as I looked at my foolish best friend stumbling to get herself another drink. "Ah, I see, don't worry just look at my friend." He motioned with his hand over to a passed out man laying across one of the tables cuddling a bottle gin. I laughed. "You're gorgeous by the way", he said studying my face as if it was a piece of art. I blushed and broke eye contact. " Thanks" I said while staring at my feet. " Why don't we make this night a little more fun." He said while pulling out two small pills. Usually I would decline after firing at least a thousand questions, but there was just something about him he was just so charismatic that I couldn't decline, I didn't want to wreck my chance with possibly one of the most handsome guys on earth. So I snatched it and swallowed. At first I felt fine, then it really started to affect me. It started with my vision, everything started to twist and stretch, It looked like when you look in a mirror at those fun houses, everybody's body's looked so disproportionate. Then it took over my mind, I couldn't think straight and I found myself staring into space more often than not. Eventually everything went black and I couldn't move, but I was still conscious. It was the strangest most terrifying feeling in the world. After hours and hours my mind finally let me sleep.
