Drunk In Love (Hessa)

28

"What I'm talking about? I'm talking about what happened last night. If you don't believe what I'm saying, then I just put that drug in my drink and we don't have to know the truth. Is that good for you? Is that not messing your long friendship with Candy? Yeah. Okay! Thanks for breakfast." I get up from the table and I go to his room, locking the door. Maybe he needs time to think about what I said.

"Tess?" He knocks at the door.

"Can I be alone for a moment, please? I don't want to fight with you because I'm not in the mood."

"Okay..." I hear him sighing. "Call me if you need anything."

"I will."

I hear him leaving and I go to the bed. I lay down and I look at the ceiling. I can't understand why he trusts Candy. She was the only one at our table and I know his other friend are not against me.

I just stay there, looking at the ceiling, until my phone starts to ring. I take it and I see it's Nora, so I answer.

Phone call

"Hi!"

"Hi! How are you feeling? Hardin didn't let us to see you last night."

"I know. I'm feeling good, thank you."

"Me and Landon will come to see you later, if that's okay for you and Hardin."

"Yeah, I think it's fine."

"What happened? Do you know why you passed out?"

"Someone drugged me. The doctor told us that I had some drugs in my blood. GHB. I don't know how this happened. It was my third drink, I took a sip of it when Hardin bought it to me and when I was thirsty again, I went to our table and Candy was there, alone. And I think she's guilty. But Hardin doesn't think this. And it sucks."

"What?! I don't know what to say, Tessa..."

"Don't say anything. We will stop talking about last night and that's it."

"But Tessa... we should do research, we should look on the club's videotapes to see who wants to hurt you."

"I don't know. Hardin won't be happy if we see Candy on the tapes, so let's forget about what happened."

"Tessa..."

"Let's end this story here. I'm okay. I won't ever drink alcohol in a club and that's it. Let's talk about you. Landon was happy to have you on his birthday?"

"Of course, he was! But we didn't do anything. We were worried about you. Do you need anything when we will come?"

"Oh, no. Thank you."

"Okay, then. I will text you when we're on our way."

"I will see you later." I say and I end the call.

I put my phone back on the nightstand and I get up. I'm thirsty, so I have to face Hardin if I want to drink some water. I leave his room and I find him sitting on the couch.

"Hey... everything is okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just thirsty."

"Can we talk about what happened?"

"I don't want to talk. I'm fine and I learned my lesson, so the subject is closed. I don't want to fight with anyone, I don't want to get involved with cops. Shit happens and that's all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure."

"Okay... You don't want to look on the club videotapes?"
