Running into old friends.

Chapter 1

Eve's POV

Me and Claire have been living with each other now for quite a few years. I'm now twenty-two years old and Claire is now twenty. She's turning twenty-one today.
We have been bestfriends since she moved into the Glass House when she was sixteen and I was eighteen. She began dating Shane when I began dating Michael...oh they were the days.

We haven't seen Michael and Shane for three years. When Claire left for MIT, I went with her. Me and Michael were in a rough patch in our relationship so I needed some time away from him. Although I didn't think I would be gone this long. Michael or Shane hadn't rung me or Claire since we left..probably because of the time difference or something.

But today, me and Claire were going to Dallas! Because its Claire's birthday I'm taking her to Dallas to crazy at all of the bars. Yeah, kind of dangerous for two young girls to be out on the town on their own but who cares! We are both old enough to drink.

'Hey, CB. You ready?' I say as Claire got ready in our hotel bathroom. We were in a big four star hotel in a huge room. The bathroom was awesome and the bedrooms were even better! I just wanted to stay in here throughout all of our trip...but I want to go and get pissed with my best friend to.

'Coming!' Claire shouts as she unlocks the bathroom door and steps out. Steam from the shower fills around the hall as the door swung open. Claire stood in a flirty red dress which stopped a little far up her knees. It was all rumpled up at the bottom left corner which made it look even more sexy. She wore tale bright red high heels to top it all of and her long, dark brown hair fell just above her waistline.

'God, CB! You look amazing!' I gawk. Claire's cheeks turn slightly pink as she does a little courtsey.
'Thanks.' She giggles. 'You look great, too!' I was wearing the sort of same dress, but obviously in black. I had calmed down on the goth make-up as I grew older. I just wear some tinted foundation, black mascara, a small amount of black eyeliner and red lipstick. My hair was still black and it swayed down my shoudlers, stopping at the same length as Claire's in small waves.

'Shall we go have the night of our lives then?' I giggle and link arms with Claire. We walk out of our hotel room and into the lobby. No one was there, which was the same as we came. Only a few people were in the lobby so not many people must come this time of the year. We walk outside of the hotel and look for any bar we could see. We found one which lit up the whole street. It was called, 'Beamers Night Club.'

'Found one!' I shout as I drag Claire across the street to the end of the line to get in. Crap, it was huge. It must be a really good club. A bunch of guys were in front of us and when I let out a small groan of annoyance, they turn around to look at us. They look us up and down because giving us huge grins.

'Long line, huh?' One says. I sigh. 'Yeah.'
'There is another way in, you know.' Another guy says. Me and Claire look at each other then back at the line that would take us hours to get to the front.
'Is there?' I say, raising my eyebrows.
'Yeah, round the back.' They say. We follow the two guys round the back of the club. It was about 9:00pm so it was dark. I instantly regretting taking me and Claire with these guys. Out of all the night clubs that were in Dallas, couldn't we have picked another one? We didn't even know these guys!

'Here..' One of them says. He lifts up a block of wood, leading to an outside area with tables and chairs. The garden of the club. As the block of wood got lifted, music flooded out around us and I instantly found the urge to dance. I didn't though, that would be weird. Me and Claire climb under the small gap in the wood and there we were, in the Beamer's Night Club.

'Wow, thanks!' I say as the guys climb under the wood behind us.
'No problem.' One guy smiles as he rubs the dirt from his jeans. 'Let us buy you a drink?'
'Sure.' I say and look at Claire who smiles and nods her head.
'I'll have a vodka and coke.' Claire smiles and the guys nods and looks at me.
'Beer.' I say simply. The guy who asked up for our drinks nudged the guy next to him and wiggled his eyebrows. The other one smiles and smiles at us before walking away. Me and Claire follow.

'No, no.' One says. 'You wait here.' And with that they both went inside of the club to get us our drinks. Me and Claire sigh as we sit down at one of the outdoor tables. God, it was warm.

'They're nice.' Claire smiles.
'I know right? Hard to find some actual decent guys around here.' I say and Claire giggles.
'That looks so pretty on you.' I say as I fiddle with the shiney pandora bracelet on Claire's wrist. I got it her for her birthday today.
'I know, thank you so much.' She smiles.
'Don't worry about it.' I smile. Just then, I see the two guys walking over to us with drinks in their hands.

'Ladies.' One says as he puts the drinks on the table. He was had short ginger hair and he looked slightly younger than us. The other had jet black hair and he was coloured.

Claire took her class of vodka and coke, which seemed to be fizzing more than usual and takes a bit gulp. 'God, I needed that.' She sighs. The two guys look at each other and smile. I raise my eyebrows at them before snapping the lid of my beer and taking a sip. It tasted normal.

'So, what're your names?' I ask as the boys stand there... watching us.
They glance at each other before the ginger one says, 'Oh, you don't need to know that.'
'Yeah, we best be going.' The coloured one adds. 'Have a good night.'

They both walk of, smirking and laughing. I shrug it off. No weirdo's are going to ruin mine and Claire Bear's night.

For the next couple of hours, me and Claire drank and danced. The two guys who gave us our first round of drinks kept on giving us more and more, then walking of. They were wierd... but I wasn't going to pass down free drinks!

Me and Claire danced, and danced, and danced. We couldnt get enough. By midnight, we were both drunk. Claire was very drunk, she kept on almost collapsing as we danced so I had to keep my hand on her fore-arm.

'Hey, Im going for a pee, coming?' I shout over the music. Claire blinks hard as she nods. I guide her to the bathrooms and leave her outside of my cubicle as I do my business. As I come out, I find Claire on the floor against the wall.

I gasp and run over to her. 'CB? Hey...Claire?' She wasn't answering me. She was concious but she wasn't responding. Her pupils were huge, and I mean huge. I put my hands on either side of her cheeks which were red hot. She was looking at me but as if I were something out of a cartoon.

Then it hit me. The guys who gave us the drinks...hers was in a glass..no lid...it was fizzing more than it should have been...the way the guys acted...they drugged her drink.

And by the looks of it, they didn't just drug one of them. They drugged every single one they gave her. When I let go of her head, she rolled onto the floor and hit her head. I lifted her up to look at me. She was still concious.

I started to panick. What if they put way too much drugs in her drink? She could have had an overdose..she still could...

Girls came in and out of the bathroom and as I pleaded for help, they just laughed.
'Someone can't handle their drink.' One giggled.
'Maybe keep the little ones at home next time, mummy?' Another said.

I wanted to get up and punch them, but that would mean letting go of Claire's head which meant she would fall back to the floor. The hotel is only across the street. If I get her there, someone will help.

I lift Claire up into my arms, which was hard because I was drunk and wobbling so it was hard to co-ordinate where I was going. I managed to get out of the bathroom and walked towards the door of the club.

As I walked out of the door, I saw the ginger and coloured guys sitting on the wall outside. As they saw us, they burst out laughing.
'Having trouble?' The ginger one said. I ignored them. Concentrate on Claire, she needs you.

I made it to the enterance of our hotel and opened up the door. I managed to get into the lobby where nobody was. I looked around as I panicked. I lay Claire down on the floor as I looked. I saw two guys sat down on chairs, laughing with each other. I debated whether or not to ask for help, seen as though the last two guys werent exactly friendly with us. But I had to do it, for Claire.

'Hey! Help!' I shout, which got their attention. Both of their heads shot to me and as they saw Claire lying limb on the ground they both jumped up and ran over. They crouched down next to Claire. One of them put a hand on Claire's head.

'What happened to her?' He said.
I raise my head to look at him the same time he did. 'We were at the club across the street and these two guys gave us drin-'

I couldn't believe who I was looking at.

Sorry that this is really long, I didn't know where to stop it! What do you think so far? Please review!xxxx
