Lets Make a Pact

14 - Dilaudid

Jared's POV

      It was the weekend before Valentine's day and I wish that I could see Celia. I miss her so much but I have school to think about. I wish that I could go see her. Since New years Derek had become a lot closer to everyone and it was great but even though I gained a really great friend I hate being this far away from Celia.

      It was currently 4 am on Tuesday and I'm being brutally tortured as Marcus throws my clothes at me yelling something about earlier practice. I realize what he's saying and shoot up. I run and brush my teeth, I get dressed in my practice gear consisting of a  cropped t-shirt and football pants. I run out and put out my shoes meeting Marcus in front of the house, he had his car drove down by his brother. After I hop into the car he takes off down the street. 

"So there is a party later are you going?" Marcus asked looking at me for a second.

"Probably I haven't been to one since the first week of college I pretty much have no social life besides Derek" I admit as we get to the campus parking lot.

"Well I don't think I'm going since I have an early class tomorrow" 

"Ok dude but your gonna miss out"

      He chuckles then we both make a run for the field. We make it to practice on time but barely. After 2 and a half hours coach calls that practice is over and for us 'dirt balls' to hit the showers. I shower then head towards my first class. College classes are longer but more spacious in between. Around 9pm I had finished all my classes and hung out with Marcus and Derek for a few hours. I had gotten dressed for the party and hailed a cab. I assume its better to take a cab to a party so you physically can't drive home. I get to the party and walk inside. I go to the drinks table and get a beer. I walk around finding people I could talk to. This red head who seemed harmless enough came up to me and started talking. After maybe 10 minutes later and not even a beer and a half I started to feel dizzy. It was really odd being as I'm definitely not a lightweight. Michele, the girl who I was talking to, asked if I need to get some air outside. I nodded and she led me outside.

"Im sorry I don't normally get like this." I admitted.

"Here I'll call a cab I will help you get home" She says taking out her phone.

"No it's cool I think I got it"

"No I insist."

      Before I can debate she pulls us both into the cab and I tell the driver my address. After that I can't remember anything. Which is why i'm confused when I wake up to Celia yelling and throwing a piece of clothing at my face. I become fully awake realizing that it wasn't a dream. I look around and realize the reality of the situation. I see Michele beside me with a satisfied look on her face.

"I heard that you were on of the only guys in a relationship so I figured with a little slight of the hand and a little help from my friend a little Hydromorphone named Dilaudid I'll have you in bed it wan't hard" She smirks

"Get out" I growl

"What"

"I said Get Out" I say again and she shrugs grabbing her clothes. 

      I break down right after she leaves my room in tears. Marcus walks in a few minutes later seeing me in tears. He kept asking me what was wrong but I couldn't find the will to answer him. After a few moments I finally calm down enough to answer.

"I cheated"

"WHAT?" Marcus yells

"I didn't mean to I got dizzy after not even two beers and this girl wouldn't take a no and brought me home but we both know i'm not a lightweight." I choke of in a breathless explanation.

"Did she roofie you" He asks as clear as day.

"She said with something about Dilaudid I don't even know what that means... I need to take a shower I need to watch her filth off of me i've been crying for teen minutes. Celia was here. She woke me up yelling" I say and his eyes widen.

"Celia was here?" 

"Yes and she ran out I tried calling but she won't answer. I love her so much, I would kiss the ground she walks on if she asked me to. I'd would do anything for her and now it's all ruined. She was my first kiss, my first friend, the one who showed me that I love football." I start to cry again.

"Go take a shower I'll call Mary and see if she's talked to Celia"

      I nodded and went to the bathroom. I showered for maybe an hour washing my body till it hurt. I got out then got dressed in my laziest clothes before going into the girls' room and sat on Celia's bed. Marcus comes in with ice cream and m&m's. I couldn't even think about what's going through Celia's head. She probably thought I didn't love her anymore, or that I've been doing it for months.

"Mary talked to her, she tried to explain that you were drugged but she didn't believe it. She is still in Cali though she can't leave until Saturday that when her flight is and they don't have any seats earlier than that."

"I can't believe I let this happen my stomach is in knots, I want to cry every time I look around she is my everything Marcus I can't lose her"

"I know buddie it will be ok." He states making me stand up and start to pace.

"No its not this is not meant to happen Marcus, she was supposed to move in when she graduates and then we both will finish college and I'll get drafted into the NFL. Celia will graduate college. Then at my first game as a starting quarterback I'll propose to her at half time. Then we will get a house near the beach and we will have 2 kids and a dog. You and Mary will live next door, Mary will have her own fashion line and you will be doing whatever you want to do whether it be bio-engineering or football. You guys will have kids and our kids will be best friends and maybe fall in love and it would be straight out of a movie but now I ruined it all" I end my rant breathless.

"You thought everything out didn't you?"

"Yes." I nod firmly I feel the need to take something but I can't pin point the feeling. I feel empty inside. I try calling Celia again this time it doesn't even ring.

"what even is dilaudid" 

"its a hydromorphone its a pain killer that can cause dizziness and drowsiness I googled it when you were in the shower. I figured she used a common roofie but what she used is an over the counter drug so it's easily to get"

"I'm so screwed Marcus I don't know what to do she won't even talk to me."
