Chapter 10

Liz

Us girls found ourselves back at the motel, we were laughing over what happened at the club when all of a sudden the door slammed open.

We all looked up and saw Max acting weird, like he didn't know what was going on.

"What the hell happened?" I demanded as Jake and Alex dragged a drugged Max through the room, Michael was dragging Max's legs through while Kyle just followed them, not doing anything.

"Some guy gave him a beer, the next thing we knew that he was staggering all over the place, one of the girls tried to take him up the stairs but we intervened." Jake explained as they moved him over to the bed.

"Liz, this is bad, Max rarely gets drunk, you know that." Alex told me and I nodded, I had a gut instinct that it had nothing to do with the drink. I hurried over to the bed and lifted Max's face toward mine.

"Max, look at me Max." I stated, Max tried to focus his eyes on me and smiled drunkenly.

"There's she is, the girl I love." He slurred out and I cursed.

"Someone slipped him a drug." I told them.

"What?" Tammy demanded as she hurried over and looked at him then looked at me. "Date rape." She muttered and I nodded.

"What can we do?" Tess asked and I shook my head.

"There's nothing we can do, the drug doesn't last in the system for very long, Max will go still through the night so I need to get him to fight back the drug. Can you get me a glass of water, he'll need it." I told her and she nodded as she hurried into the kitchen and I looked at the boys. "Has he had anything to eat?" I asked them and they looked at each other, thinking before shaking their heads.

"No, we never saw him eat." Jake told me and I nodded.

"Okay, everyone needs to get out, we'll see you tomorrow." I told them and they all started to protest and I shook my head. "Trust me guys, you don't want to be here for this." I warned them and they nodded as Tess came out with some sandwiches for Max to eat once he got himself out of the drunken daze he was in and some water so he could get rid of the taste that would be in his mouth. "Thanks." I whispered to her and she nodded before leaving and shutting the door, leaving me alone with Max.

I groaned in fear before stripping myself of my jacket and straddling him, I hated the fact that I had do this but I had to. I lifted his arms and pinned them to the bed, causing Max to jerk his head and try and focus on me. "That's it Max, fight." I whispered, Max looked puzzled so I pinned his hands harder on the bed and this provoked him into trying to push his hands up, I could see that he was getting scared and I hated it but I had to. "Come on Max, fight it." I pleaded.

He started thrashing slightly, trying to get me off him while fighting to get his hands freed but I refused to let go, I needed to get the drug out of his system as soon as possible so that he was alert to what was happening around him.

He whimpered slightly as I pressed his hands harder onto the mattress when he all of a sudden thrusted his hips upward, causing me to fall onto my side as I landed on the bed, I watched as Max turned on his side and promptly was sick into the bucket that I had brought through, I rubbed his back as he was sick, his colour was pale and he looked shattered as he turned onto his back while I grabbed the towel and wiped his mouth while he closed his eyes slightly, breathing deeply.

I stroked his hair while watching him, making sure that he was okay, he sighed before opening his eyes and they landed on me, I could see that he was still slightly fuzzy as his eyes was still slightly glazed over. "Max, you okay?" I asked.

"What's that taste in my mouth?" he asked and I sighed.

"You threw up the drug that was in your system, here, drink some of this." I told him as I lifted the glass and held it up to his mouth, he took some sip before I set down the glass and held up a sandwich. "You need to eat, give your stomach something else to focus on rather than the drug." I told him, he grimaced and I shook my head. "You have to eat, even if it just half of It." I told him and he nodded as he took the sandwich and chewed gently, trying not to through up while I thought, what would have happened if the boys hadn't intervened when the girl was trying to take him upstairs?

Tammy

"What the hell happened at that party?" I demanded to the guys.

"When we entered, a guy walked over to Max and told him that he was their 1000th customers and because of that, Max got a free beer, we didn't think anything of at it at the time, after that, he got weird, he seemed dizzy when all of a sudden this blonde walked over to him and said something to him, she took his arm and was about to led him up the stairs to the management's office, well you get the rest, we intervened and brought Max straight here, he spent the entire ride telling us how much he loved up and all that." Michael explained and I rubbed my temples with my fingers.

"Okay, we can safely say that someone wanted Max to be spiked and it was all planned, the one thing I want to know is, how the hell did that guy knew Max was going to be at that club?" I asked before shaking my head.

"Someone is really after Liz aren't they?" Isabel asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, looks like it because the cat is directed at Liz considering Liz is the one who has Sooty, they must have went for Max because he linked to Liz." I told them.

"They could be after Max." Kyle piped up. "He's the one who gave Liz the cat and he's the one who got drugged, we gotta get Liz away from him, he's a danger!" Kyle snapped as he moved over to the bedroom door but I stepped in his way.

"Don't even think about it." I hissed to him.

"Tammy." He snapped.

"Max is not a danger to Liz, the only person right now is a danger to Liz is you." I told him and he scoffed.

"Like hell." He snapped and I looked at him.

"Why do you want Liz?" I asked and he looked at me. "Seriously, why do you want Liz? The last time I heard you were pretty much in love with Tess now you're chasing Liz, no offence to Liz and I seriously doubt she will be, I don't think she is really your type." I told him.

"I love her." Kyle hissed out.

"Really?" I shot back at him. "Or are you in love with the idea of her?" I asked.

"What the fucks are you on?" Kyle snapped. "Why is it so hard to believe that I actually love Liz, more than that prick, who I may remind you, was more than willing to sleep with that blonde." He spat at me but I refused to back down.

"Yeah because he was under the effects of the drugs and I'm willing to bet anything that you were more than willing to let him be raped." I spat at him, he just held my gaze while the others shifted slightly and I knew I was right, I scoffed. "You have got to be the most pathetic man I have ever met in my entire life." I told him, he just glared at me before storming off to his room. "Right, I want answers and I want them now!" I told them and they all nodded as they sighed.
