Ah...Daniel. I never knew someone of his age could be this clever.

Tell, who on his age drugs people simply because he doesn't like that that person? Yeah, I can surely understand that by the death glares that little devil gives me and also by the powerful blows of his basket ball.

Like damn....

My eyes narrowed into slits as I returned him the same glare he's giving me right now. The pillow I was currently holding was shredding slowly as the wool started to come out. My nails dug hard on it as I tried to control myself from jumping at that pint size Lucifer.

Daniel was scowling harder but did not utter a single word not even a sorry. For God's sake he had drugged me and he did not seem sorry at all.

Travis who sat on the middle and worked as a barrier between us, dropped his head on his hand.

"Can you guys just stop fighting and concentrate on our current situation?" He asked meekly.

"SHUT UP!" Both Daniel and I yelled in unison.

He faintly shook his head, muttering "kids" under his breath.

"I AM NOT A KID." We again shirked together.

"See, that's what I'm talking about." He shrugged his shoulder, the infamous smirk returned again.

Sighing breezily, I gripped my hair tightly, my head propped downwards. That particular insult he threw at me was eating me now. Now, I felt like strangling these two to death.

I need to calm down

Taking a deep breath, I returned my attention towards Travis.

"So, you are telling me that he did it for his sister's sake? He drugged me because his angelic sister is sad because of me? Well that's so sweet! I've never seen a more devoted brother than him. How adorable is that!" I sneered.

"Well, that's not my fault that he loves his sister so much that he'll go to this extreme and take revenge. "

"Yeah, his little revenge could've killed me! Didn't you see the that I almost had a heatstroke because of that!"

" It wasn't his fault. These pills are out of date and he didn't know that. Alcohol pills are meant for getting drunk and nothing else. They even don't have any side effects. But these are expired so they took a toll on you. "

" WHOA WHOA! Who's side are you? Him or me?" I exploded.

"I'm on no one's side, I'm just saying the truth."

He ventured softly, his blue gaze fell on my brown one.

"He just wanted you to feel drunk and make fun of yourself, nothing else."

Sighing wistfully, I let myself slump on the bed. My mind was confused and chilled with coldness.

I don't even know what to say....

The sound of sniffing caught my attention. Tilting my immediately, I found that little boy crying silently.

His face was and eyes were patched in red as big angry drops of tears trailed one after another. The younger boy was shaking tremendously, his watery eyes settled on his little fists.

My lips settled into a thin line. He deserves this for what he did but again, I felt a pang of sadness as he reminded me of myself. I know how it feels to dissolve in guilt and cry out.

His pouty lips wobbled but tried his best not to cry loud. Gritting his teeth against each other, he closed his eyes shut and let the waterworks fall.

My eyes fell on Travis . I looked at him for help. His expression soften as he nudged me to tend the weeping child.

Biting the flesh of my inner cheeks, I raised my form from the plush mattress and made my way towards him.

I found myself sitting on the floor so that we were facing each other.

"Hey.." I said softly. "It's okay. I forgive you." I placed my hand on his hair, softly running my digits through the soft yet tangled hair.

I gasped immediately as he latched himself on me, his skinny arms rounded around my neck.

"I-I'm sorry..." He hiccuped. "I didn't know that it was out of date...I-I just wanted you to feel funny."

He cried more , wetting my dress alongside his cheeks.

A tiny smile rose on my lips as I stared down at the little guy.

"Now, now. Don't weep too much. Big boys like you don't cry much. You aren't a kid, remember?" Travis spoke up from behind, a smug tugged the corner of his lips.

Daniel shirked away after hearing what Travis said and harshly rubbed away the tears.

"I'm really sorry. ." He whispered, eyes cast downwards.

"But how did you get these pills?" I asked as I comfortably sat on the floor.

"I stole it from my big sister. " He face fell; he looked ashamed.

"What? But why would she need alcohol pills?"

"Maybe she likes to get drunk in the healthy way." Travis said.

"That doesn't even make sense." I retorted.

"She gives it to the people she doesn't like. " Daniel spoke up.

"In another word she takes revenge. She's a a public figure so she would definitely have rivals and enemies. And if you want to destroy some kind of celebrity's life than there is no better option than killing off their reputation. " Travis stood up from the chair as he crossed his arms.

"And making somebody drunk in front of the media is the best way to stab one's fame." I muttered.

Damn! That girl is evil...

But wait a minute! Did he say pills and getting drunk?

The conclusion hit me like a wave as my eyes enlarged in realization.

"Travis!" Raising myself form the ground I turned to him, grasping his arms tightly.

His cobalt eyes looked confused as his brows knitted together.

"Travis.. You are saying that these pills are meant for getting one drunk. That means that, it can dissolve in any kind of liquid substance, whether it is just water or any kind of beverage."

"Yes. It can dissolve into anything but why?"

"Think. Just think a bit more." Backing away, I took the bottle from the bed, my eyes focused on the writings over it.

"If someone wants to get drunk, then he can be drunk without drinking alcohol. He can even disband the capsule and drink it with the water. "

"Yes he can but why are you asking?"

"And if he tests his blood then he will find the presence of alcohol in his body because the makers are saying that it's just powdered alcohol." I showed him the plastic can.

"That means that, the reason behind me, getting drunk, without drinking any kind alcohol is no drug. It is-"

"Alcohol pills. " Both me and Travis said in unison.

"That's why, medical reports said that you were drunk. In reality, someone used these pills against you. " He said.

"U huh." I exclaimed.

Now, the question is, who?

Someone wants to save me on the other hand, someone wants me dead?

What's even going on?



Hello, Guys! Hope everyone's  safe and good. 

Hmm, so give me 50 votes and I'll try to update the next chapter as fast as I can!

And, if you don't know what alcohol pill is then just keep in mind that it's just powdered which can get you drunk without drinking.
