As soon as she said that I was out the door. I couldn't be in there with their sympathetic eyes and words. I don't want to seem ungrateful but I don't want to be treated like a helpless bitch. I walked through the park and saw the same kids that we're drinking an smoking. One of them came up to me and wrapped their arms around me. They reeked of alcohol and marijuana.
"Hey, I've seen you around school and me and my friends were wondering if you wanted to come to a party and hang. You've always seemed pretty chill." I thought about it for a second. should I go? I have never had alcohol or any form of drugs other than my prescribed pharmaceuticals. Yeah... I'll go. Maybe I'll forget about Ever and Rain
"yeah I'll go, sounds like fun."
I hopped in their van and we drove for a while and we finally ended up at an abandoned self storage place. I recognised it from when Rain and I would come here to hang out. We left because some kids started drinking in our spot.
"Salem, welcome to paradise!" One of them said to me. I believe that her name was "Skinner". "Here, take this with some water." Skinner handed me a little pill. "What is it?" I asked holding the pill in my hand.
She laughed "What is this? It's ecstasy. Down the hatch." She hit my hand to my mouth and gave me a bottle of water. "I don't feel anything... What's supposed to happen?" I was confused... "Give it a minute you'll feel better." Five minutes later I felt weird... A good weird. I'd never felt so alive everything was full speed. Lights and colors were all around me. It was beautiful. "Smile!" Skinner snapped a picture of me and her. I was only in my undies... My bra, shirt and pants had gone missing. "Can I tweet this?" She asked like it was just a normal "selfie" or whatever living kids call it these days. I shrugged "Sure #toplessandstoned" I heard a twitter notification from every conner of the room. There was at least 50+ of us. I didn't realise that everyone would see me topless until I hear the birds tweeting. "Nice rack, Salem!" I heard one kid shout from the other side of the room followed by cat-calls and girls screaming "SLUT!" I was humiliated yet satisfied. I likes the attention it made me feel normal but also I felt a pang of guilt... Almost like I betrayed everything I ever stood for and everything I ever was. "What would Ever and Rain think...?" I said to myself. I started to cry... I didn't know what was wrong with me or why I was so sad. I was coming down from my high and I regretted every bit of it. I left people that cared for me and got high. I think I deserve the asshole of the year award. I was sobbing in a corner I found my bra... It was covered in vomit and beer. Other than that my clothes where nowhere to be found. "WHO INVITED THE LOSERS?" Some douchebag kid shouted. I looked up but I didn't see any losers. I saw the kind young man with the raven hair and the girl who never left my side. "Salem, are you alright? Come on let's get you out of here." Ever lifted me up and carried me to his truck as I sobbed into his chest. I sat in the back with Rain. "This is so not like you... What were you thinking?" She looked me in the eyes with a sad almost disappointed expression. "I just wanted to forget everything. I felt like you guys see me as the whiney little maggot that you have to look after because she's basically withering away." I whimpered. "I'm taking you back you place and you can get cleaned up." Ever said trough the rear view mirror.
