Chapter 16 – The Party

It was my sixteenth birthday on Saturday I didn't want to do anything but as Mandy said you are only sixteen once so I was having a mini party, it's only really going to be people from the clinic and Justin and Mandy anyway.

The day of the party I went to the clinic even earlier than normal to help set up, it was my birthday and I had found Mandy had brought me a PSP it was second hand but I loved it and hugged her. Soon enough the party was starting and everyone who was attending came down from their rooms as the doorbell rang I opened it to Justin and a bunch of people from school.

"What the!"

"Mate you need to have a proper party so I brought some people" he said as they all walked in, a lot of them had alcohol but I couldn't exactly throw them out now.

"Leo where did all these people come from" Mandy shouted over the noise as she sipped her drink, being an adult she could drink and I wasn't concerned Mandy wasn't much of a drinker she would only have one.

"Justin's doing" I said annoyed "I'm going to go upstairs and tell Adam just in case it gets out of hand" I said as she nodded and we walked different ways.

When I came down I walked over to Mandy she had finished her first drink and was starting her second so I knew something was wrong. She was wearing a buttoned up shirt and it was buttoned up strange so something had obviously happened as I had been gone.

"Mands...what you doing?" I ask her concerned

"I a.a..a...am en...e... ..t...t...the ...p...p..party" she stuttered clearly drunk, I took the drink she was holding out her hand.

"You have had more than enough" I said slightly angry as I hadn't wanted this party in the first place.

"Give it back right now Leo!" she said looking at me properly that's when I saw her eyes and my anger fell and concern grew. She was stoned.

"Oh god..." I said knowing she wouldn't take drugs off her own will I smelled the bottle and as I thought it smelled of not only alcohol but drugs. Someone has spiked her drink.
