*** JC hummed happily past Amber as he sang aloud, “Oh Meth OoO Meth.” Amber glared at him. “Asshole.” “Oh, hey, Ambs,” JC said, poking his head out of the hotel room. Not turning around, she replied, “What?” “I love you,” he said, placing his head back into the room. “Fuck off,” she muttered under her breath. “AMBER!” she heard a voice yell. “God damn it what is it now?” she said, getting ready to leave and find more drugs. “Amber please come here!” the voice yelled. Running, Amber finally reached the room where the voice had come from. “What?” “Amber, I need to talk to you!” Haley said. Giving Haley a look that clearly stated "Yea, right," she said, “What?” “Look, I think Justin is cheating on me,” Haley said bluntly. Raising her eyebrows, she replied with a devilish grin on her face, “I’m sorry?” “Well, I found a condom wrapper on the floor and me and him don’t use a condom,” she cried. Shuddering at the thought of her and her cousin fucking, she replied, “Why are you telling me this?” “You’re his cousin, he tells you everything!” Haley said, looking at her in need of a friend. “Listen Haley,” Amber said, craving the sting of the white powder going up her nose. “I don’t like you, and even if I did what happens between me and my cousin doesn’t fly into your fucking ears!! Okay?” She regarded the other girl with distaste. "I thought you we’re leaving anyway!” Stunned, Haley replied, “I was but I had to come back and get some stuff.” Still stunned, Haley watched Amber leave the room, not listening to a thing Haley said. ** “Brittney?” the husky voice asked. “Yeah,” the cracked voice replied. “Are you sleeping?” the voice asked as his hands felt around the bed. “Not anymore,” she replied, flipping on the light to see Justin’s face. “Justin!” “Hey, look we need to talk!” Justin said. “About?” she asked, sitting up and throwing her long blond hair into a ponytail. “You know what about!” he exclaimed. “Oh about last night?” She wiggled her eyebrows. “Wanna go again?” “No, look we need to talk,” he said, resisting the urge to go at it again. “Okay, what’s up?” she replied. “Ok, look, I didn't know you were only 17," Justin flat out said, getting to the point. “You didn’t know that? Who cares?” She arched a brow at him, obviously wondering why that was an issue. “I do. See, I thought you we’re 18, which isn’t illegal! But 17 is!” Justin said. “Look, I’m not gonna tell anyone, and besides, it’s not like we’re dating! Justin,” she said, slightly sitting up. “I like you a lot! I want to date you and obviously we can’t do that till I’m 18! Which may I add is in two weeks! Okay?” Sighing he replied, “Look this is completely HUSH HUSH! Until you are 18!” ** JC woke up to the hard bangs on his door. He slowly moved Cree out of his arms and got up from the bed. Opening the door he answered, “Hello??” “JC," the voice answered, pushing open the door more. “Rica, why are you coming to my room this late? Cree is in there! Besides I told you no more!” he said, not letting her finish. “No JC! It’s Amber!” Veronica said, pulling JC by his arms, “Justin wasn’t in his room and I couldn’t find him!” Following his best friend he replied, “Why are you getting me then?” “Because you’re the only one that knows about it,” Veronica said, finally reaching Amber’s room. “About wha…..” He tried to finish, but lost his voice as his eyes fell on the pale bloody-nosed white-foamed face. “Oh, my god, Veronica, what happened?” “I don’t know she just banged on my and Mandy’s door and was like, `Where’s JC?’ then she started to make funny noises and then it just got weird!” Veronica said, following JC to the girl. “Amber?” JC asked, trying to get a response from the girl. “You asshole, you flushed 'em, you did this to me! You did! I am like this because of you! And her! And Haley! And Justin!” she screamed, flying up. “Amber, lay down!” JC yelled, watching the girl fall down. “DAMN IT! RICA CALL 911! She’s not breathing!! Mandy, go find Justin! Christine, go find Cree tell her I have to take Amber to the hospital!” JC slowly picked Amber up as the three girls did as he told them. JC kept her comfortable, talking to her softly as she finally began to breathe but began to seizure. Justin ran in the room with Mandy, Cree, Veronica, and Christine following. Justin looked at JC. JC raised his gaze to Justin's and looked at him straight back. Not with "I told you so" eyes, but rather with "I’m sorry" eyes. Justin apologized, too, and they forgave each other, putting Amber into the car. They finally arrived at the hospital and got Amber admitted as the rest waited and waited. Finally the doctor came out …..DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!
