A Boyfriend's Nightmare

Chapter 5

School had just ended and Iris was waiting for Chris outside by the stairs when Vanessa approached. Hey. I thought you were heading home. Vanessa said. I'm just waiting for Chris. We always walk home together. Iris explained. Oh, how about I drive you? I mean, I'm sure Chris is still busy and... Vanessa tried stalling her. Don't worry about it. He'll be here any minute. Iris smiled. Hey uh, you should take this. Vanessa sneakily put a small pill in Iris's hand. Don't worry, its for your brain. It will help you think and focus on your schoolwork. Vanessa lied. I mean. Mr T is giving us a quiz tomorrow, and it will definitely help with studying. Vanessa continued to provoke her.

And how do you know its safe? Iris murmured. Doctor's prescription. Duh. He said to take it in the morning before school starts. But I take it after school as well when I do my homework. Vanessa recounted. I don't know, Vanessa. Iris hesitated. How else do you think I keep getting all A's? Trust me, it will work, and tomorrow you'll be thanking me for that A. She pressured her. Iris looked at the pill in her hand and sighed. And without having anymore second thoughts, she took it. But what she didn't know is, Vanessa had given her an Ecstasy pill which is also known as MDMA or Molly, which she had gotten from a gang member she knew on the street.

The effects suddenly began to take control as Iris felt dizzy. I don't-I don't feel to good. She held her head as the world around her began to spin. Okay, lets get you home. Vanessa put one of Iris's arms around her and held her steady as they walked to her car. Vanessa put her in the front seat before fastening her seatbelt. She then got into the passenger's seat and drove off.

Chris arrived at the entrance, but there was no sign of Iris. Hey. Have you guys seen Iris? Chris turned to Cisco and Caitlin who had been standing at the entrance for an hour prior to his arrival. Yeah, we just saw her leave with her new friend. Cisco replied. New friend? Chris was confused. Yeah, the new friend she left us for. Cisco mumbled. Vanessa. Caitlin rolled her eyes. Vanessa who? Chris queried them. I don't know, she never gave us her last name. Caitlin said. By any chance did she have brown hair, and greenish eyes? Chris asked nervously. Yeah, that's the bitch who stole our friend. Why? Caitlin looked puzzled. I'll explain later, right now Iris is in trouble. Chris called out to them as he took off running.

Vanessa parked the car at the pet store where she worked, and got out of the car to help Iris out. After unlocking the door, she plopped Iris on the couch. Meanwhile, Chris was running as fast as his long legs could carry him. He couldn't believe she was back. Yet alone, hurt the woman that he loved. Where would she take her? He thought. Then suddenly, it occurred to him. The same place she took him where his mom found him. And without hesitation, he continued running.

Now, everyone will see how a slut you are. Vanessa took out her phone and was about to record her when she heard a banging sound at the door. I'm coming! She yelled as she rolled her eyes before unlocking the door. Chris barged in and saw his girlfriend drugged on the couch. Oh hi Chris. Long time no see. Vanessa greeted him, but he just ignored her as he helped Iris up by draping one of her arms around him and helping her out the door. Vanessa watched angrily as they disappeared out the entrance.
