After I got inside my legs carried me, slowly, to the bathroom as I still felt queasy from the previous night. I turned the shower on, stripped off my clothes and stepped in. As the water washed over my face and trailed down my body, I started to think about all that has happened over the last two days. I mean, apart from the usual day at school, it has been pretty weird for me. Drinking, blatant flirting. These aren't things I thought I would be doing this weekend and there isn't any positives over what I did. The negatives are quite substantial though: I got drunk (end up with a hangover), I flirted with all the guys (very dangerous if I ran into someone who would've taken advantage of me), I lose my phone (there were loads of neat stuff on there like pictures of me and my friends, videos of funny things my brother did and all my puppy wallpapers...). The worst thing about it though was I came onto Beck which is so not good, not because I don't think he's hot, just that he's not my type. Maybe Sam has had an influence on me these last 4 weeks she's stayed here. I couldn't shake this feeling that something was off with Beck, and he never did explain what was in that bag, I guess I was too wasted to ask. I should ask him ASAP, I thought as I finished washing my hair, turned off the water and got out. After getting out of the shower, I pulled on some random outfit, brushed my hair and grabbed a jacket as I headed out the door and down the street.

About two hours later I had left the Pear Store with a new phone and started inputting my contacts that I could remember. Those lines are way too long for one store. The line made a loop around the place, it was that long. After I'd finished, I headed over to Beck's for a 'little chat'. Let the interrogation begin.

"Knock, knock," I said as I tapped the door of Beck's RV, "Come in!" Beck replied in a singsong tone. "Hey," he said, as I sat down on his bed. "What brings you back here?"
"I want to ask you a question about last night." I answered, calmly.
"OK. Shoot."
"What was in that bag you had when we went in?" Beck stiffened slightly and blew out a breath.
"I don't think that's important." He replied eventually.
"Well, I wanna know," I demanded. "You said it had something to liven up the party in it but you gave no other clues and you didn't show me."
"I'm not sure if-"
"Oh, just tell me!" I interrupted. He looked quite taken back.
"Alright then. The bag...it had...erm. You know when you refused to give me my drink back 'cos you wanted it?" I nodded. "As you know it was alcohol which I got from the drinks table. Except, I put a little extra in the keg of beer."
"What?" I asked, curiously.
"...Drugs." I gasped, covering my mouth with my hands.
"Which ones?"
"Mainly marijuana with a bit of heroin. Nothing that bad."
"That's illegal!" I yelled. "Aaah! I took drugs! I need to go rinse out my mouth." I started wiping my tongue with my hands, knowing that it didn't make a difference. "I feel disgusting."
"Come on, it's not that bad and by the way, you had alcohol too which you are too young for so..." He trailed off.
"I gotta go-"
"Where?" Beck asked, sharply.
"To the police, Beck." I retorted. "Friend or no friend, I can't stand by while you poison other people's lives with stuff that's dangerous!"
"You are not going anywhere!" Beck shouted as he put himself between me and the door. "You aren't gonna go to the police, Cat. You're staying right here with me." He said slowly. I tried to pushed past him but he pushed back so harsh that I fell on his bed. I pushed myself onto my elbows as I made eye contact with him. Looking deep, I knew he must have taken something before I arrived. He stepped closer to me with every word he said, "I can't let you leave. Not now." I gulped.

He turned to his bedside table, reached into the drawer and pulled out a roll of duct tape. I scampered as far back as I could while he walked, slowly, toward me. When I could go no further a smile appeared on his face, he leaned towards me and I covered my face in fear. I began sobbing when he whispered right in my ear, "Nighty night, V." I didn't understand, I wasn't tired... THWACK! And all I saw was black.


That's it for now. I think there will be only one more chapter but we'll see.

Please review.
