took the bag from him and grabbed a small mirror off the bedside table. It had obviously been used recently; it was cloudy from the leftover powder that covered its surface. I dumped a small amount out and made a line with one of the credit cards from my wallet. I grabbed a dollar from my wallet as well, before rolling it and snorting the line.
Within minutes, I started to feel the effects. I smiled up at Jack as my body relaxed and I fell back onto the bed grinning. Why had I ever given this up? There was no feeling in the world like this high, all my worries disappeared and I felt like I could conquer anything.
I had no idea why I had gotten so crazy over Chloe, what the fuck did she matter anyway? No need to go all crazy over some chick that didn’t care about me. I could get any woman I wanted, and there were always several lined up and waiting with no strings attached. I had my music, money, my band, and a bag full of coke. What else could a guy ask for?
I stood and followed Jack back out into the living room, the cocaine and mirror still in my hand. I spent the next several hours sitting around and joking with them, snorting another line when I felt my high start to dwindle. By the time morning rolled around, I was out of Coke and out of money. Jack drove me to the nearest ATM and I withdrew a couple hundred dollars to make sure I had enough.
When we made it back to his place, I paid him for twice the amount of coke I bought last night, as well as enough “hydros” to knock out a horse. I spent the rest of the day high as a fucking kite off both the coke and pain pills. I hadn’t felt this good in a long time and I savored every moment. I crashed at his house that night and stayed late into the afternoon the following day. I finally decided I needed to get back to the bus before Jade or one of the guys beat the shit out of me.
Jack drove me back to the bar parking lot and I was relieved to see the bus still sitting where it was the other night. Before I got out, I bought enough to hold me over until I could find someone else to supply me.
“If you’re ever back in the area and need more, you just let me know kid.”
“Thanks, I will.”
I stepped out of the car and waved as he pulled back out. I walked across the lot to the bus and started walking up the stairs. Eric and Adam were sitting around our small table, and both their heads snapped up as they caught sight of me.
“What the fuck?” Adam roared.
“Thank God, where have you been?” Eric asked with concern.
“Sorry, I met some guy after our show the other night and lost track of the time.” I said as I sat down beside Adam.
“You lost track of time? You’ve been gone two days, not two hours,” he said as he leaned over and sniffed me, “And you fucking smell. Did you forget to take a bath?”
I grinned. “Sorry, I’ll go shower.”
I smacked him across the back of the head as I walked back to my bunk and grabbed a pair of clean clothes before stepping into the small bathroom. The cocaine I had snorted before I left Jack’s place was already starting to wear off so I grabbed one of Jade’s mirrors and did a couple of lines before getting in the shower.
Once I finished, I dried off and dressed before walking back upfront to join the guys. Jade came up the steps just as I sat down and launched herself at me.
“You asshole! Do you know how worried I’ve been?”
I grabbed her wrists and pushed her off of me. “Sorry, like I told the guys, I lost track of time.”
She stared at me with her mouth gaping open. “Lost track of time? LOST TRACK OF TIME? I get a text saying you’re going to some party and then no one can get ahold of you for two days! I thought you were dead Drake!”
“I said I was sorry, what else do you want?” I shouted back at her.
“I don’t want you to say anything! We had to cancel two shows because of your stupid ass!”
Eric slid out of
