Chapter 20
-Mandy's POV
"Where are you taking me?" I asked as Torrie continued to lead me down the hallway. We passed Danny's room and I immediately knew we were heading toward forbidden territory.
"Adam's bathroom, there's something you have to see," She replied. I felt sick to my stomach.
"And what happens if Adam catches us in there? Are you going to be the one explaining to him why we are snooping around where we don't belong?" I asked not liking the entire situation.
"Adam isn't even here. He left right before you got here to go pick up the cake," She announced as we walked into his bathroom.
"Okay, we're here. Now what in god's name is so important for me to see?" I asked crossing my arms. Torrie walked over to his medicine cabinet and opened the door.
"This," She replied revealing an ungodly amount of prescription medication. I looked over all of it in shock. Taking even one pill from each bottle would be enough to kill a man considering the number of bottles that lined the shelves. Toward the left of the cabinet there was a ziplock back full of marijuana.
"Oh my god," I whispered to myself. I picked up one of the prescription bottles and read the label, "OxyContin," I picked up another, and then another, "OxyContin, OxyContin, my god he's gonna kill himself!" I sat down on the toilet in astonishment. I had never before come into contact with the drug, but I knew well enough to know that OxyContin was a highly addictive pain killer that had killed an unthinkable amount of people from overdoses. Torrie got down on her knees and put her hand on my leg.
"Honey, are you okay?" she asked. I looked at her in horror. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes but I refused to let them escape.
"Why is he doing this? They were right. Everything Brock and Missy said was right," I cried. Torrie wrapped her arms around me and tried to comfort me.
"It's okay. We don't know the real story we only know what we see. You need to talk to him about it," She exclaimed.
"And say what exactly? 'Adam, Torrie and I were snooping in your bathroom and found enough OxyContin to kill an army. Care to explain?' I feel sick," I announced rising to my feet, "How did you find this anyway?" I asked her.
"I like to know everything about the people I work with," She grinned. I couldn't help but smile a bit. This was so unreal.
"What about me? Did you go through my medicine cabinets too?" I asked. She nodded.
"Of course, aspirin and cold medicine. Yours was really boring," She replied, "Come on, let's get back to the party before someone realizes we're gone."
"You're sick Torrie," I announced jokingly. In all actuality I was thankful that she was the snoop that she was. Otherwise I would still be in the dark about the situation. As we made our way down the hall, Adam came walking up the stairs. Shit, now what do we do?
"What are you guys doing in here? The party's outside," He announced looking for an answer. Torrie smiled.
"Mandy was just showing me the work you guys did on Danny's room. It's amazing!" She replied.
