One Chance (Part 1)(39)

By:T. Renee Fike.


“No, I want to go home,” I snap.

“But if you were drugged we should find out,” Meg says kindly.

“I’m fine, just tired. I just want to go home,” I say, looking and pleading to Kenzie to take me home.

“Home it is then,” she says shutting everyone else up. We finally get to my car and Kenzie takes my keys to drive us home.

“How are you going to get her into the house? She could barely walk to the car,” Brody says.

“Shit, I don’t know, we’ll figure it out,” Kenzie says as she opens the back door. I climb in lying across the seat, wanting nothing more than to get more sleep.

“Christ look at her,” Liam shouts, “She needs to go to the hospital.”

“She doesn’t want to. So we’ll let her sleep it off,” Kenzie snaps back.

“Then we’ll sneak her into our house,” Brody says, “She can sleep down in the game room. This way we can take turns keeping an eye on her.”

“That sounds like a great idea, thanks babe,” Kenzie says as she gets into the driver side of the car.

“I’ll go with Kenzie, since you need to get to the airport,” Brody says to Liam and Meg.

“Shit, I didn’t even realize the time,” Liam says frustrated.

“Me either, but babe we need to go, they can take care of Haley,” Meg says.

“If things get worse keep us posted,” Liam says before heading towards Brody’s car.

“Will do,” Brody says before getting into the passenger side. Kenzie leaves driving us home.

I don’t even know how I got into bed, but I can hear people talking, I just can’t make out what they are saying.

“Haley, can you hear you me?” Liam says softly.

“Yeah,” I whisper, trying to sit up, but having slight difficulty. He sits on the edge of the bed and helps me sit up, “Thanks,” I say blinking trying to figure out exactly where I am.

“You’re in the game room on the spare bed,” he says answering my unspoken question. “Can you try to drink some water?”

I don’t bother trying to talk, I just nod my head yes. He hands me a bottle of water that has a straw in it.

After drinking half the bottle I hand it back and look around, “What time is it?”

“A little after 2:00 a.m.,” Brody says.

“What?” I shout.

“Shh, do you remember anything that happened today?” Liam asks.

“Yeah.”

“What do you remember Haley?” he asks.

“I went to Hanna’s, had a couple drinks, and took a walk.”

“How about after that?” he asks with a concerned look.

“I…I don’t know,” I say trying to think of what I’ve done.

“Do you remember who came to get you?” Brody asks.

I can’t help but shake my head no, “I don’t know how I got here. Where’s Kenzie?” I ask worriedly.

“She’s sleeping on the couch,” Liam says pointing over to where she’s at, “We found you on the beach asleep Hails. Kenzie and Brody brought you back here and you’ve been sleeping ever since.”

“What? I slept the entire day away?” I ask confused.

“You don’t remember anything?” Brody asks confused.

“I told you what happened.”

“Do you remember anyone giving you anything?” Liam asks.

“No. I opened my own beers.”

“Did you eat anything?” he asks.

“Yeah a couple cookies, but that was it.”

“Cookies?” Brody asks.

“Yeah, chocolate chip cookies.”

“Who gave them to you?” Brody asks anxiously.

“I don’t know, a guy was walking around, we all ate them.”

“Haley you were drugged,” Liam says not holding anything back.

“What?” I ask shocked.

“He’s right. You were out of it when we found you and you don’t remember much of your day after eating the cookies. They were laced with something. I’m just glad we found you.” Brody says looking relieved.

“You need to stay away from Hanna’s house,” Liam says looking serious.

“Yeah I will.”

“Why did you go over there anyway?” he asks.

“She asked what I was doing and I wasn’t doing anything, so I agreed to go over and hang out. I didn’t know she was having a party before I went.”

“Well, when you saw the drugs you should have left,” Liam scolds.

“Liam stop. It’s over, she’s safe,” Brody snaps.

“Do you think you can sleep anymore?” Liam asks.

“Actually yeah, I am tired,” I say as I lay back down. Thanks for taking care of me,” I say before falling back asleep. I can hear the two of them argue, but can’t make out what they say.
