Chapter 50: Tobias

I was hard again, while we were discussing something so far removed from being sexy, but she had that effect on me. We weren't expecting anyone today and I was surprised to see Ellie at the door. I felt like shit, but she instantly brightened my mood. It'd been days since I'd seen her. I had been recovering. Lurkin's coke was good quality, not cut with baking powder to lower its purity, and the party itself had been a fucking nightmare.

I hated drugs. For me it was a sign of weakness. When I was in high school, I smoked some weed, just to impress my mates, peer pressure I suppose. Being at the party, though, when I took that high-grade coke that party quickly got out of hand. I lost touch with reality and started having vivid thoughts about Charlotte. I was hallucinating, thinking that she was still there, sitting next to me. I guess he dropped me some LSD somehow, maybe in my drink. Whatever it was, it was a bad trip.
