remembered the day and made a big deal out of it. But with Taylor getting hurt, things had been hectic for all of them.
Or at least, that’s what Andy tried to tell himself. It was better than wallowing around and letting the depression get to him.
“It’s a big day, so we should celebrate it for a while,” Seth replied as he shoved a bottle into Andy’s hand.
Looking down, Andy saw that it was just a bottled water. “I prefer Evian.”
Seth grinned. “Trust me, you’re really going to like this.”
Shrugging, Andy opened it and drank. This was the third bottle he’d drank, and every time, Seth claimed that it was going to be great. All that Andy found was that it just water.
As Andy lowered the bottle, he noticed the room was spinning in slow, lazy circles. The lights were blurry, too. He laughed as he shook his head in an attempt to shake the weird away.
When he tried to set the bottle down, Seth picked it back up and handed it to him. “You need to drink it all.”
“I’m not thirsty,” Andy whined, his own voice sounding weird to his ears.
“Yes, you are. Didn’t I tell you that I’d always take care of you?”
Andy nodded. Seth had promised him that and so much more. He’d told Andy things that he’d always wanted to hear, yet never had. Seth always told him how good he looked or how smart he was. The last thing Andy wanted to do was let him down.
So he tilted the bottle back and dutiful drank up every drop. Once he finished, he handed the empty back. “You really do need to buy Evian. That brand you have tastes weird.”
For some reason Seth and his buddies thought that comment was a riot. Andy smiled, pleased that they seemed to like him so much.
Seth grabbed Andy by the chin and locked gazes with him. “I have one more present for you.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, it’s this way,”
As Seth led Andy away, the world grew even more blurry and fuzzy. Then the edges of Andy’s vision grew dark. The last thing he could remember was the sound of the door shutting behind them and then everything went to black.
