VERONICA
The person came inside but I couldn't see his face clearly because my face was covered with the bedsheet.
"Hello, I think you should come and pick her now. I don't know how you will do it but just come."I moved the bedsheet down a little but I could only see the persons back and I guess he was on a phone call.
He actually looks like a young guy and at least if he wants to attack me I can try something.
The voice sounds very familiar but I can't tell who it belongs to.
As he turned to face me,I quickly closed my eyes.
He came to the bed and sat down beside me, touched my cheeks then stood up and left the room and I was dying to see his face but I wasn't ready.
After he closed the door, I didn't waste anytime because I really need to get out of this place.
I started searching for my clothes and fortunately I found it folded by the dresser in the room.
I saw a picture on the dresser but it was a picture of a woman and a young guy.
Both of them were blonde but the guy has sea blue eyes while the woman had soft chocolate brown eyes.
They were both smilling in the picture and they look really happy.
Cute.
well,I wonder who they are.
I quickly wore my clothes then I searched for my phone and wallet but I couldn't find them so I sat down on the bed feeling restless because I don't even know whose house I was in and I don't even know if I'm safe or not.
After some minutes, I started hearing voices and it was as if two people were arguing downstairs but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
Later, the argument stopped and someone started coming upstairs to where I was.
I was nervous but thank God because at least I would be able to see the person that brought me here.
As the door opened, Hunter came inside and he was not looking very happy he looked furious and annoyed.
"Hey, Veronica you are awake."he said rubbing the back of his head.
"yeah,and I really need an explanation because I don't even Know what I'm doing here."I said folding my hands on my chest.
"Oh,so you can't remember how you got here?"he asked me.
"Yeah,I can't remember.
I can only remember that I followed you to a party."I said using my fingers to comb my hair so that it wouldn't look as rough as it was before then I remembered that I packed my hair when I was going to the party.
"So you have forgotten how you were drinking to the extent that you became so drunk and you could hardly walk."he said and I couldn't believe it because that was very unlike me.
"well, that's unlike me so you shouldn't blame me for asking questions."I voiced out.
"I was also shocked because I didn't know you could drink like that."he said grining.
"Me too."I replied with a frown trying to remember what happened.
"Anyway, don't stress yourself too much by thinking about it,let me take you home."he said as he started leaving the room.
"wait."I said as he wanted to open the door.
"w...we didn't do anything right?"I asked praying that we didn't.
"No,we didn't."he replied.
"Oh,thank God!"I said with a sign of relief.
"what did you say?"he asked turning back to look at me.
"Nothing,never mind but who changed my clothes?"I asked.
"You did that yourself."he replied.
"Alright, before you came upstairs I heard you arguing with someone.who was that?"I asked him because I know that the person that came inside the room while I was pretending to sleep was not Hunter.
"Veronica. I need to take you home and you really need to stop asking me all these questions."he snapped.
"Sorry."I replied as the both of us went downstairs but why does he seem angry?
As we got down,I didn't notice my mouth was wide open in awe.
"I really love your house, It's so big and the decorations are nice."I said to him.
"Thanks, but it's not my house it's my cousin's house and I'm very sorry for snapping at you earlier."he said.
"No problem."I replied as I continued looking around the house but it didn't occur to me that the cousin he is talking about is Bryan.
As the both of us got to the parking lot,he opened his BMW then we got inside but there were three other cars there.
I guess his cousin is married because the house kind of looked like a family house.
As we got inside,we closed the door then he drove off to my house.
****************
When we got to my house,he stopped the car then I came out and he told me he was going to call me later.
"Okay,"I replied then I left.
As I got inside the house,my plan was to quietly tip toe till I get to my room.
Besides this is Saturday and Liam is supposed to be asleep since he doesn't wake up early during weekends.
As I was about to check the time,I remembered I was not with my phone and I didn't even remember to ask Hunter about it.
what am I going to do now?
As I tiptoed upstairs, someone called my name and I knew I was caught because it was obviously Liam.
"why did you call my name like that?you scared me."I said as I faced him.
"Where are you coming from?"he asked.
"okay,I know you told me to come back early but something came up and I had to spend the night in my friends house."I said trying to hide every sign that will make him know I was lying.
" Is that so?"he asked looking at me suspiciously.
"Yeah,so what about mum?"I asked.
"She has gone to work and she told me she didn't want to disturb you from your sleep so she didn't go to your room.
If only she knew you were not inside."he said with an evil smile.
I guess it's my lucky day then.
"Can you please not tell mum about this?"I begged.
"I wasn't planning on telling her but I still don't believe your story because we both know the only friend you have is Sam and you weren't at his house."he said.
"Well,I made a new friend."I shrugged wishing he will just drop the matter.
"And who is this friend that I don't know about?"he asked obviously not buying the story.
"None of your business as long as you don't tell mum about what happened."
"I said I won't."he replied.
"Thank you, that's why you are my big bro."I said embracing him in a tight hug.
"Can you please stop this? it's so awkward."he said not hugging me back.
"Fine ,but I'm still your baby sister."I said and quickly ran upstairs to take my bath and do other things.
******************************
As I got upstairs,I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the person that was making that phone call in the room I was sleeping in.
I got into the shower and continued thinking about the party but I still couldn't remember and I hate when I'm trying to figure out something and it's not working out.
Was I drugged?I wonder as fear gripped me.
who will want to do that?
I have to find out what truly happened because I'm not sure I can trust Hunter but first I have to get my phone.
*Meanwhile in the Collins house.*
Sam is seen in his room checking his phone and he wondered why Veronica hasn't called or texted him.
"Or is it too early?"He asked himself but it was past ten already.
"I guess I will have to call her"he said to himself.
He called her but her phone wasn't connecting so he quickly changed his clothes and headed to her house.
As he got there Liam opened the door and let him inside so he asked Liam if Veronica was around and he said "yes but she is in her room."So,he went to her room, knocked on her door and she told him to come in.
As he came inside, Veronica was so happy to see him.
"Oh Sam thank God you are here,I really need your help." She told him.
As Sam sat down on her bed,she also sat down there and narrated the story about the party to him.
"So you mean you don't even remember how you got to the house?"he asked obviously surprised.
"Yes I can't but I have a feeling that my drink was spiked or I was drugged."
"But we agreed on you not talking more than two cups of alcohol."he said disappointed in her.
"yes I know but the funny part is the fact that I took only two cups of drink not even alcohol."she replied.
"Okay,so what are we going to do about your phone now?"he asked.
"I don't know and the worst part is that I don't even know his address so how will I even get to him.
I can't possibly wait till Monday before I get my phone."she said clearly exhausted.
Wait,I think I know what to do.
"what's your plan?"Sam asked.
"I don't know if this is going to work but I think I know the location of the party that we went to and maybe one way or the other we will be able to get his phone number.
I just pray this works because I'm very tired and stressed out." she said as she lay down on the bed with her legs still touching the floor.
"Let's go to the place then."Sam said.
"you are coming with me ?"she asked Sam.
"yeah,what are bestfriends for?"he asked with a smile.
"Thanks a lot,you are the bestest friend anybody can ever have."she said as she tackled him with a hug.
"I'm not sure bestest is an English word and we really need to get going" he said laughing.
Okay,she replied then the both of them headed to the place.
VERONICA
As we got to the venue of the party,we entered the gate and that was when I noticed it was a frat house.
It looks really different from yesterday.
"Are you sure this is the place?"Sam asked.
"yeah but I think the host of the party is not a student of our school."I said.
I got to the first door and knocked but the reply I got was not nice and it was as if my appearance made him pissed.
"what do you want?"he asked rudely.
"Nevermind."I replied and he closed the door with anger. more like jammed the door in my face.
I knocked on another door and it happened to be Harry's, one of the guys Hunter spoke with yesterday and I think he was the host of the party.
"Hi, I'm so sorry for disturbing you but I really need your help."I said.
"Okay?"he replied.
"I think I forgot my phone in Hunter's house and I really need his phone number or address so that I can get to him"I said.
"I will be right back"he said as he brought out his phone and gave it to me after dialing Hunters number.
After the second ring,Hunter picked the call.
"Hey man ,what's up?"Hunter asked.
"Hey, it's me Veronica."I said with relief.
"Hey, what are you doing with Harry's phone is everything okay?" he asked.
"I called because I wanted to tell you that I forgot my phone and wallet in your house and I will like to come get it but I don't know the address."I said.
"Oh,you mean my cousin's house."He said.
"yeah that one"I replied.
"Don't worry,I will search for it and bring it to your house instead."he said.
"Any other thing?"he asked me.
"No,just my phone and wallet." I replied.
"okay then"he said before he ended the call.
"Thanks." I told Harry as I handed the phone to Harry.
"It's absolutely nothing."he replied with a grin and I noticed he wasn't looking at my face but somewhere else and Sam was trying to hold in his laughter.
I nodded in reply.
"Till we meet again then." he said with a grin as he went inside his room.
"Okay then." I said and left.
" I'm not surprised he was staring at your boobs." Sam said laughing.
"It's not like it's anything new to me."I replied with a shrug.
"So,what did Hunter say?"he asked.
"he said he is going to bring the phone to my house."I replied as the both of us got into Sam's car before he drove off.
As he continued driving,he started telling me that he will advice me to distance myself from Hunter and his crews because he doesn't trust them and they are trouble.
"Okay,I have heard you."I replied then after some minutes we got to my house and as we got there we entered the living room and sat down on the couch.
It wasn't long before Hunter rang the doorbell of my house.
I went to the door and collected my phone after thanking him.
After he left, Sam and I went to the game room in my house and we started playing a video game.
After the game,we both went upstairs to my room and started watching kissing booth.
The movie kind of remind me about some things concerning me and Sam so I really love the movie.
We made some homemade snacks before we started watching the movie and when we were halfway done with the movie I asked Sam about Stephanie again to make sure he was truely over her.
"yeah,I didn't even know I will get over her that quick."was his reply.
As the both of us were still talking,the doorbell rang and we started arguing about who was going to get the door.
Then Sam finally gave up as usual and went to open the door.
He was obviously shocked by who he saw.
"Hi."The person at the door said.
"H...Hey."Sam stuttered.
"Everything okay Sam?" I asked from where I was but there was no reply so I decided to go to the door to check who it was.
I was so shocked to see Jennifer my childhood friend.
"Jenny!"I shouted as I hugged her.
"Oh my God, you look so good and I'm so happy to see you."I said with a smile as I invited her inside the house.
"Me too." she said with a smile.
"Veronica you have no idea of how much I have missed you."She said as she sat down on the couch.
I joined her almost forgetting Sam was there with us.
"Um this is Sam,my best friend."I told her as she turned to look at him.
"Hi, I'm Jennifer and It's nice to meet you." She said with a smile.
"I'm Sam short for Samuel." It's nice to meet you too." Sam said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Anyway,I will have to go now besides it's late and you guys need to catch up." he said.
"Okay,bye."we both said then he left and the both of us started talking about how our lives have been so far.
