Chapter Six

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."

― William Shakespeare

I heard beeping and my eyes opened slowly. I looked around and seen that I was in a hospital room. I seen Declan, Damian, Rayna and Maddie sleeping on the chair and couch. Why am I in the hospital? And why do I have such a killer headache?

"Guys?" I said, trying to wake one of them up. My mouth has this weird taste.

"Guys!" I said again, a little louder than usual. They jumped up and looked at each other. I chuckled on how stupid they looked. Rayna got up and ran over to me.

"Oh thank god you are okay!" She shouted. Maddie walked out of the room to get a doctor.

"What happened? And why am I in here?" I asked. They all looked at each other and looked back at me.

"Do you remember anything dude?" Declan asked. I looked at them in a blank stare.

"I take that as a no." Damian told Declan. I raised an eyebrow at them in confusion.

The doctor came in rushing to my side.

"Hi, my name is Doctor Phillips." She smiled at me. I forced a smile back.

"Are you going to explain to me what happened?" I asked the doctor. She looked at the ground and looked back up at me.

"You had a lot of Ketamine in your system. It was a wonder that you didn't die. I know that someone had to spike your drink. A lot of cases that come in here, their drinks were spiked. Now do you remember who gave you a drink?" She asked me.

The first thing that came to mind was I remember going to the party with Austin and he went to go get us drinks. But he couldn't have done that. I thought I changed him for the good. I looked over at Rayna, Declan, Damian and Maddie. Then looked back at the doctor.

"No. I don't remember." I said. I know they are disappointed in my answer. But if it was Austin. I have a better plan in mind. He was going to do this to me, I am going to play even harder then he played me. Like people say, sweet revenge is always the best revenge.

Damian took me back to my dorm after the doctor released me. I told them to not call my parents because they wouldn't even care in the first place. Rayna got mad at me then left and so did Maddie. I told Declan he could leave to and that I was going to be ok.

We got back to our dorm and Damian slammed the door. I know he is mad. But dang, that was loud. I turned around to look at him.

I looked into his eyes and I could see he was beyond pist. "Why didn't you tell that doctor the truth? We would have but we knew you would be pist if we did." Damian shouted.

I flinched in fear. Who knew he could be this angry. I gulped and walked over to him. "Because what would they have done? His father is the dean for crying out loud. I have a plan in mind and I am going to need your help. Including Rayna, Declan and Maddie." I responded. He rolled his eyes.

"They could have put him behind bars. He has done this to a lot of people. We all warned you to not get involved with him. We about lost you!" He shouted. Tears started to fill my eyes.

"I'm sorry!" I shouted. He just grunted and walked out of our dorm, slamming the door behind him. Tears began to fall down my face. I never thought he would care about me this much. And it just hurts to see him so mad at me. I walked over to my bed and cried into my pillow. Now everyone that I am close with is mad at me. ME!

You know what, I am going to stop crying and go out there to find Austin. I am not this person. I am not emotional. I do not show my emotions. I don't know why I showed them with Damian. I never do that. I don't know what has gotten into me. I got up and walked out of my dorm to find Austin.

I found him talking to some friends in the courtyard. The courtyard was full of people laughing and talking away. Then there was me that looked like death and a walking zombie. I walked right over to him. I turned him around and my fist landed right into his. I heard people gasp.

"What the hell?!" he shouted as he fell back onto the grass, holding his face. I leaned down to look at him.

"If you ever talk to me again I will fucking kill you! You about killed me for spiking my drink. Wouldn't think I knew it was you, huh? I am smarter then I look. You better watch your back because I will be coming for you." I spat at him and turned around walking out of the courtyard. People had their phones out recording the whole thing. I seen Rayna and Declan smiling at me. I winked at them and walked back to my dorm.

I walked into my dorm to see Damian sitting on the couch, watching TV. He turned and looked at me then looked away.

"Look I know you are pist at me, but I dealt with Austin. If you think I am lying, go ask the whole courtyard out there." I said and walked over to my closet. I stripped out of my clothes and wrapped a towel around my waist.

"I am going to take a shower." I said and walked out of the room. I was smiling the whole time walking towards the bathroom. That so felt good to punch someone. But my hand hurts like a mother fucker!

I walked out of the shower to see Austin leaning against the wall. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I wrapped the towel around my waist.

"What do you want Austin?" I asked, walking over to the sink. He grabbed my arm and turned me around. I looked at his hand and looked up at his face. He had a black eye. I was laughing hysterically on the inside.

"I only spiked your drink because you was nervous. I wanted you to have a hell of a time. You needed it." He told me. I rolled my eyes and pushed his hand away.

"I thought you changed. I only agreed to date you because I actually liked you and I thought you were different from all those rumors those people told me. But I guess I was wrong." I said and brushed my hair out.

"I have changed! I only did for you. I am in love with you for crying out loud!" He shouted. I froze. Did he just say love?

I turned around and looked him into the eyes. He had tears falling down his face. "You about killed me Austin. I about died!" I shouted and tears was falling from my face. The bathroom door opened and we both shouted out.

He turned to me and grabbed my hand. "I regret it. I do. I never wanted to hurt you. I just thought since you were nervous, it would help you have a good time. I don't want to lose you Eric. Never." He said. I looked up at him. He was sobbing silently.

"You lost me when you chose drugs over me." I said and pushed him away. I walked out of the bathroom and back to my dorm. Why does life have to be so hard?
