“Is this the point in the story where you tell me I should see the other guy?” Hannah asked, gesturing at my hand with her glass.

I chuckled. “I wish I could remember what he looked like when they pulled me off him,” I said. “I was too angry to take a proper mental photograph.”

“Bottled up frustration?” She smiled. “Is this what you do when you’re not fucking me?”

“Don’t flatter yourself.”

She laughed and got up, taking my glass back to the kitchen for a refill.

“At least tell me this wasn’t over some girl,” she said. “Because honestly, that would just be sad.”

“Hannah, seriously, I appreciate the gesture, but I think we’re past the point where you take an interest in my life that is cute and charming.”

She handed me the refill and sat down on the couch beside me. She looked at me, hard and long, and clinked her glass against mine. “Drink up, fire man. I’m just here as a friend, if that’s okay. Nothing more. To be honest, I think I’m over you.”

“That fast?” I asked, gulping down my drink. “What happened to being possessive and all that other crap?”

She shrugged. “We were good, but I can’t force you to stay with me. It’s frustrating, for both of us. And besides, I was starting to really live up to my nickname. I mean, I was actually stalking you.”

“Yeah, that was weird,” I agreed.

The swimming in my head intensified, and I felt a raging headache coming on. It was taking all my energy just to keep my eyes open, and soon enough my vision began to blur.

“I’m getting a little tired,” I said. “Thanks for passing by, but I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“Are you sure?” she asked. “I could stick around. I have nowhere to be.”

“I’m fine, seriously,” I said. “Thanks.”

“Do you want another drink?”

I frowned at her, then looked at her glass. Through the haze in my head, I noticed that she hadn’t taken a single sip.

“I’m good,” I said. “I’ve had enough for one night.”

The spinning got worse, a

nd I found myself putting in a lot of effort just to keep my eyes open. And for some reason, there was a strange aftertaste in my mouth.

“You know, I heard that Bobby’s sister’s been hanging out here a lot,” Hannah said. “Spent the night actually, right?”

I opened my mouth to ask her how the hell she knew that, but my tongue felt heavy, and all I could was grunt.

“Funny thing, that,” she continued. “I actually thought you were just being nice because she was Bobby’s sister. I didn’t know you actually liked her. Made me kind of jealous.”

I looked at her, unable to focus on her face. But her smile was undeniable.

“What did you -?” The words came out forced, heavy. They echoed in my ears, almost as if someone else was talking.

“I told you, Andy,” she said. “I’m very possessive. And you’re mine. I’m not sharing you with anyone, and especially not with that slut.”

I looked down at my empty glass, quickly putting two and two together as the world around me spun out of control. She drugged me. The bitch put something in my drink.

I grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, but the grip was pathetic, and she easily pushed my hand away. I fell back, my eyes closing quickly until I could see nothing but darkness.

I lay in bed, curled into a fetal position, hugging my knees and my eyes burning with tears.
