Three Shots || Jaden Hossler

30. Party Drugs

Jaden's Point of View

I scanned the room properly and wasn't pleased by it at all. I hadn't noticed that Kio and Tayler were actually here, playing beer pong against Madison and Rye. I was almost sure that they weren't allowed to be here, I guess I was wrong.

I'm not looking for a fight with those two, I just want to take my girl home and call it a night.

As I'm approaching Rye, I started to notice her wild behavior and how she's taking a hit from her juul every five seconds without coughing... This is not drunk Rye. she's sweating excessively, and jumping up and down for no apparent reason. Alcohol doesn't do this to her.

I stand next to her and she smiles widely at me while the others continued to play. Her pupils are dark and she can't seem to make eye contact with me properly, she also looks unhealthily pale. I tried grabbing her by the shoulders so she could stop moving but she couldn't help herself, she just laughed it off and continued to move like a maniac.

"What the hell did you take?" I ask her, but then I looked at Madison knowing she could probably give me a better answer, she doesn't look as high as Rye. And I'm not talking about weed high, this is something else.

"She didn't take anything." Madison states which Rye found extremely hilarious.

I look over at Kio and Tayler who are just waiting for Rye's turn and don't seem bothered by this at all. I'm trying not to think that those two fuckers might have put something in Rye's drink. I also wouldn't like to think that Rye willingly took something from them because that would mean that they were actually hanging out, which is very confusing and makes me very angry.

"Are you going to let her play or not?" Kio yells from the other side of the table. I let go of Rye to think what I could possibly do.

I have two options here; kick their asses or take care of my girl. As much as I'd like to call Bryce and smash their faces for the possibility of them drugging Rye, I'm choosing to take care of her. This is the first time I'm not letting my anger take over me. I don't care if she was hanging out with them (for now), she doesn't look okay and this can go very wrong. Rye isn't used to any type of drug, not even weed.

"We've been looking everywhere for you- what the hell." Bryce and the boys walked over us. Bryce immediately changed his expression when he saw Kio and Tayler who are still acting as if we're not standing in front of them. Usually they start acting up.

I just know that whatever they took, they gave it to Rye.

"Bryce!" Rye jumps on her bestfriend, screaming at the top of her lungs. "What are you doing up here with them?" He asks her.

She laughs, she just fucking laughs.

"Eh?" Bryce looks at me concerned. Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks that this isn't normal. Rye isn't hyper. She literally can't stop moving right now.

Kio and Tayler continued to play their game like it's nothing. Madison in other hand is very worried and looks like she's about to cry.

"Did you take ecstasy or some shit?" Bryce asks Rye another question to which she didn't gave an answer to.

"Did you guys give her something?" Bryce asks to the group from the other side of the table, letting go of Rye... causing her to almost fall on her face but lucky for her Griffin caught her just on time.

Bryce is not going to hold back. He's going to fight them.

"No." Kio laughs.

"They're fucking high too." Bryce turns over to us.
