PURE HEROINE II 13 REASONS WHY

rich kid parties pt. 1

"Hey, Bryce", I started thoughtfully when we've been done, "Sorry for being such a bitch last week. You were right, I shouldn't have asked for drugs and I won't consume them anymore." "I knew you were just angry", he waved it off, "But what happened that made you change your mind?"

"Well Sheri, Scott and Monty here found pills in my handbag. Justin had agreed on sharing with me a certain amount of drugs but I followed him to talk to your dealer", I looked down to the bottom regretting how I've treated my friends because of that. "We've finally told Will so he could keep an eye on our cute liar here", Monty added laying his arm around my shoulder.

"Yeah, thanks for that. He would have almost told dad or sent me to rehab. I don't need that." "Nah, Els, they've done the right thing. Take care of you, alright? I have to meet mom at home now. I'll see you guys." "See you, Bryce."

Mountain 🏔

Bryce goes to a party by some rich Hillcrest kid

He said he's bored without us

Ellie 👸

I'm not going

Scotty tries to spend his time with time with me

Especially after the incident at the last party

There won't be any drugs

He could come

I know you guys are fine again

but he's still angry about Bryce

So you won't tell him that we hang out again?

You heard Bryce, he's a wreck

I know but I don't want to lie to Scott anymore

Then just tell him Els

Again, they're no friends anymore

Scott's really mad about what Bryce did

What's his deal?

He's no girl

You can be so dumb

I'm just trying to make you go to a party with me

AND Bryce

Ellie please

you're not going to give up, are you?

nope

just say yes

I'm going to regret it

I'll pick you up, thanks

"Did you hear me?", Sheri turned her head to look at me while I was typing. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to drift away. Will you tell me again?", I smiled annoyed about myself. "I'll message you everything. You don't look so good, what's going on?", she asked instead. "Monty just asked me if I would go to a party with him and Bryce since you spend the weekend with your dad."

"As long as he's with you we know that you're not going to get drugs. Isn't that enough evidence for Scotty?" "Scott and Jeff still hate Bryce for what he's done. They can't know that we agreed to be friends again. Both of us, Sher." "Yeah, I know. But you have to tell them anyways. If you do, I'll be there with you."

"Man, I hate rich kid parties", Monty complained when we were walking around the pool with Bryce at this massive house. "Can you tell me why I had to come then?" "Every party that I've thrown has been a rich kid party", Bryce smiled. He had told me earlier that he was glad that I came and really appreciated that. Sheri had to stay at home with her dad but she would have been here, too. Being around Bryce felt normal, especially after he became softer but I still thought about Scotty, Justin and Jeff.

"Yeah, but I knew everyone." "Come on, let's just get to know someone", I hit Monty's arm playfully to cheer him up. "Yeah, at least the three of us are doing something together", Bryce enjoyed it, "You three are the only good ones at Liberty." "Well, that's true."

I somehow lost Monty and Bryce which wasn't as bad since we said we would get to know someone new and the crowd was big enough to get lost. "Hey, Specter", one of those rich boys yelled at me - at least I guessed that they meant me -, "Yeah, you, don't be so shy, girl." "I'm not being shy", I stayed friendly and walked over to the three boys and two girls, "Specter's just not my name." "Come on, sit down. Whiskey? That's the best you could get."

"Thanks, no. I'm trying to become healthier", I tried to not mention anything like alcohol or drug abuse so that's my new excuse. "But aren't you Specter's daughter?", One of the girls asked throwing her hair back, "He's our attorney and helped us when I got in a car accident. He's expensive but worth every penny." "Yeah, I'm his daughter", I decided to not talk about our problems because they wouldn't care about it anyways so I didn't say anything about the fact that Specter is still not my name.

"A little alcohol won't harm you. By the way I'm Dean Holbrook", the blonde guy smiled at me so I sat down next to him. "I know, I just really prefer water right now." "Aren't you the kid from Liberty High who's been drug addicted and who's boyfriend almost died?", the other girl said with an arrogant smile. Monty was right. Rich kid parties are stupid. But I would wait until Monty and Bryce would leave so I would survive this.

"Not my boyfriend, he's my ex-boyfriend", I corrected her trying to find a topic to talk about, "And he's feeling way better again." "He's on the baseball team, isn't he? And he's hot. Is he rich?" "He's not rich if he's going to Liberty High", her friend rolled her eyes. I furled my eyebrows, "I mean he's good-looking. He's not rich. But he's got a good heart-" "Who cares about a good heart?" "Can you two not shut up for a minute?", Dean interrupted the two girls to my surprise and turned to me, "Come on, I'll get you a non-alcoholic drink."

Dean actually seemed to be really nice. We've been talking for about an hour since we've left the arrogant girls and the other boys. He didn't seem like the typical rich kid boy but I still wasn't completely sure about his intentions. "Where's the bathroom?", I asked him because I suddenly felt dizzy, "That was a non-alcoholic drink, wasn't it?" "Come on, Elizabeth, I'll bring you to the bathroom", he ignored my question but laid arms around me closely, his one hand rested on my butt.

"What are you doing? Get your hands off me", I tried to shout at him but instead just slurred and was too weak to push him away, "What did you do to me?" What the hell did he do to me? Why was I feeling so weak all of the sudden? I couldn't move my legs on my own. That wasn't normal. That couldn't be just alcohol. What the hell did he put into my drink?

"We're going to have some fun, Elizabeth. You're not going to regret it, I promise", I could hear him smile. Just when I tried to shout again, his grip loosened around my body. I thought he knew how bad his idea was but when I looked up I saw Bryce with throbbing veins and blood on his fist. I took the chance to open the next door near to me and shut the door.

"Els?", I saw Monty and another boy looking at me shocked when I slide down to the bottom. "Monty? Oh my god, Monty, I've never been so happy to see you", I managed to speak loudly but fast. "Have you consumed drugs? Where did you get them from? I swear-" "I didn't ask anyone for drugs", I suddenly cried, tears streaming down my cheeks - did he really think about me like that? -, "I promise, Monty. I, I.. there was this guy.. Dean-"

"Dean Holbrook?", the other boy said and I nodded. "What did he do to you?", Monty clenched his fist immediately. "I don't know", I muttered anxiously, "But Bryce hit him already." "Come on, we'll get you get you home."
