Chapter 21

Munky was so nervous/anxious that he kept messing up the number to the house."5-1-1..@#%$!Thats not it!" Munky says though clenched teeth."545-1236.."
The next thing he heard was ringing."Please,please,please pick up someone!" Munky whispers."Hello?" answered Laurel."Laurel!Come down to the bar right away!" Munky says."Ok,ok!I'm coming!" Laurel says as she throws on her coat and runs down the street with Jayden.Laurel gets to the corner and screams.She fears Amir had been shot or killed."Holy shit!What happened?" Jayden says as Laurel kneels down by Amir."He wanted some fresh air,and then I came out to check on him and I found him on the pavement." Fieldy says feeling guilty he wasn't with him.Amir's eyes are rolling and he's jolting.Clear liquid runs out of the sides of his mouth.Laurel spots the plastic bottle and wafts the scent to her nose."Oh no,oh no,oh no.." Laurel says recognizing the smell of the chemical."What is it?" Jayden says getting worried."It's exstacy..." Laurel says trying to control freaking out."Someone slipped him exstacy through a water bottle."Laurels eyes tear up and Laurel puts her hands to her nose."Come on we have to get him home." Jonathan says as him and Brian pick Amir up and carry him.Laurel wraps her coat around Amir as the walk with him.They get home and Rita and Nicole are shocked and follow as the group goes upstairs to Laurel's room.Laurel yanks back the covers and Jonathan lays amir in the warmth as they try to warm up his skin rapidly dropping in temperature.Jayden comforts Laurel as Laurel sits with her head in her hands."I've never seen Laurel in this much pain." Fieldy says and frowns."My thoughts exactly..." Jonathan says.Laurel pulls a chair up to Amir and sits with her legs tucked to her chest and looks at Amir sniffling.The rest of the group are worn out and sit on the long couch at the far end of the room,leaving Laurel alone with Amir.
*the next morning*
Laurel Hadn't shut her eyes once.She was still upset and her black mascara ran down her face in steams of tears making small marks on the white carpet.Her face was red and her eyes were heavy from not getting a minute of sleep."Aww Laurel,Amir's gonna be ok.." Laurel arched her eyebrows and slowly turned her head up to Jayden."Jayden,look at me and say what you just said,then I will take it as the truth."
Jayden couldn't."It's gonna take a fucking miracle for him to come back." Laurel says as she puts her hand in Amir's.Laurel continued:"I have no fucking clue how someone could recover from getting slipped E."There's silence for a few minutes."He looks so peaceful,and more beautiful than ever." Laurel says quietly."Jayden,what do you think will happen to him?" Jayden replies:"I truely don't know,all we can do is hope he'll pull out of this." Laurel bit her lip trying to hold back the tears that wanted to flow out of her once again."It's ok Laurel,let the tears flow..."
Laurel had no more energy to cry,she just went limp."My best friend was slipped extacy at a party and literally dropped dead when she was walking home." "Oh my god I'm so sorry.." Jayden said getting on her knees to stroke Laurel's soft brown hair.Fieldy wakes up and comes over to Laurel.Jayden leaves Laurel and Fieldy alone."Are you stable?" Fieldy says rubbing her back.Laurel shakes her head slowly."Me and the guys are doing all we can.He should pull through,just hope for him now,just hope." Fieldy says as he gets up and goes to brush his teeth."Just hope..." Laurel thinks to herself,"just hope..."
