Long Way Home (Drew)

Chapter 14

" Drewwwwww, stop taking pictures."

"Why? I want to post this on instagrammmm."

I was face timing drew and we were talking about what we were doing this weekend. It’s been 2 months ever since I've visited Texas and I've been missing him so much.

" So, what’s happening in Texas this weekend? Any parties?"

"Yes, there is one happening tonight."

"Well aren't you gonna go?"

"I don't know, I don't really like to go to parties anymore because when i go all people want is a picture or a hookup with some promo." he said with a disappointment.

"Oh I didn't know that, but I think you should still go. Just don't let it get to you."

"Eh I don't know."

" Please go for me? I talked to Madeline and she said that you haven't really been going out lately and I want you to have some fun."

"Fine. If you want me to go then I have to go get ready." he said," I’ll call you after the party."

"OK, have fun!"

"OK bye."

"Don’t hook up with any girls drew." I said with a laugh.

"Don’t worry, I only have my eyes on you." he said with a smirk, ending the call.

Its12 AM and I'm waiting for drew to call me because I'm bored out of my mind on a Saturday night. Hopefully he acted safe and didn't drink and drive or do something stupid. I go to grab some chips from the pantry as I hear my phone ring from my room. I slowly and quietly run to my room, trying not to wake anyone up, and grab my phone.

"Hey drew? How was the party?"

I hear silence over the line.

"Drew, you there? Don’t mess with me."

Suddenly I hear a sniffle.

"Are you crying?"

"Lily... I-"

"Drew what happened?" I said, with the sound of worry in my voice.

"Remember when...you came to my house and you had a nightmare...you were crying?" he said, his voice cracking with every word he said.

"Ya... So?"

" I promised you something..."

"Ya you promised me that you would never... oh my god...you didn't...please tell me you didn't." tears filled my eyes. This could not be happening.

"I'm sorry... I'm really really sorry." drew said, "Please don't be mad...please don't leave me."

"YOU...HOW...HOW COULD YOU FUCKING DO THIS TO ME?!"

"I was having a drink, and then-then this girl gave me something stronger and I got a little bit tipsy. I went to go lay down and the girl was sitting on the couch. She-she started talking to me and-and then she was drunk and I was drunk and well I'm really re-"

"You. Promised. Me."

"I kno-"

"YOU. FUCKING. PROMISED. ME!"

"Please, I know. I wasn't thinking-"

"Ya you obviously weren't."

"Please don't be mad at me."

"You’ve done a lot of stupid things in your life drew but THIS is the worst thing ever." and with that I hung up on him.
