you."
"Ok," I nodded. "I'll come for Christmas."
"Great. Now drink your coffee before it
gets cold."
~Jake- 5 hours ago~
    "Give it to me, Jake!" Oliver roared
flinging his bedside lamp toward me. Dodging it
just in time, it smashed to pieces against the wall.
    "I flushed it Oliver," I told him calmly. I
had been Oliver's friend for a long time now and I
have never seen him like this even when he was on
this shit a couple of years ago.
"YOU WHAT!" Oliver bellowed charging
forward.
    "Guys!" I yelled before Oliver plowed into
me. Slamming me back into the wall Oliver
punched me in the jaw. He was inhumanly strong.
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
    Shoving Oliver backwards did nothing but
anger him further. Leon, Logan, Alex and Tyler
flew into the room then and the five of us wrestled
Oliver to the ground. I had him in a headlock while
Logan and Alex had his legs pinned. Leon and
Tyler had his arms twisted behind his back.
"Oliver chill out man," Alex yelled.
"How much has he taken today?" Leon
asked.
"He did an 8 ball in under 12 hours, but he
was messed up when he started."
"What?" Logan gasp.
    "Shut up and help me get him in bed," I told
them. We could worry about how much he took
later.
Oliver was yelling and freaking out.
    "Man, there had to have been something
more than coke in that stuff," Leon grunted as we
slung Oliver on the bed. He stopped struggling and
just laid there holding his chest for a moment
looking like he couldn't breathe. Grabbing his
shoulder, I rolled him to his side. Suddenly he
vomited all over the floor. Yelling we all jumped
back out of the way.
"Eeehhuuuckk," Logan gagged.
    "What is wrong with him? You don't think
he overdosed do you?" Leon muttered watching as
Oliver shook violently.
"I'm not sure."
"Should I call someone?" Kimmy
questioned suddenly.
We looked up to find Angie, Taylor,
Kimmy and Jet at the door.
    "No, Kimmy. I think we're just going to
watch him. If he gets worse then we'll take him.
We don't need him getting into any more trouble
with the cops. He's already walking a thin line as it
is."
"I'll take first watch," Leon said grabbing
up a trashcan from just inside the bathroom door.
"Alright I'll be back about four to take
over."
    Leon nodded. Oliver groaned, he was
staring unfocused at the ceiling now. There was no
telling what was in the drugs. I had already flushed
the rest so there was no way to find out either.
I headed back to my bedroom where Taylor
was waiting for me.
    "Is he going to be ok?" she asked frowning.
I walked around to where she sat and wrapped her
in my arms pressing her head against my stomach.
"He'll be fine."
"I wish Ever would get her memory back
soon. She's is as depressed as he is."
    "I know Tater Tot but she needs some
space. She needs time to find herself. She's lost
right now. The best thing we can do is respect what
she wants."
    "I know. I still think that if she were here
she'd remember quicker," Taylor sighed lying back
in the bed I climbed in next to her.
"By the way, I hate when you call me Tater
Tot," she huffed.
"I know," I chuckled rolling over on top of
her.
She groaned. "Jake get off, you cow."
"Moo."
She laughed loudly. "You're insane."
"Yep," I told her winking down at her
lifting my body off hers.
"But, you can't resist my sexiness."
"Pshh...you wi-"
    I caught her mouth with mine cutting her
off. Her lips tasted like strawberries. After a
moment, I pulled back.
"You know Tater Tot, I'm thinking-"
"Thinking? Ouch, that must hurt."
Flicking her between the eyes, I dropped all
my weight on her again. She groaned.
"I think you need to go on a diet."
"I think you’re what I've been waiting for
my whole life."
    She froze. "What?" she said breathlessly.
Pushing myself up on my elbows, I looked down at
her.
"I promised you I would take care of you
Taylor, and I mean it."
"But?" she asked raising her eyebrow.
    It has always been so hard to earn her trust.
Why does she always think there is a catch
