Everything goes by in a blur. The paramedics come and take Katy away. They say we did the smartest thing we could wrapping her in cold towels. I give Spencer all the credit for that. I wouldn’t have thought of it. I would have given in to panic.

Spencer, on the other hand, stayed level-headed and took control of the situation.

He and I ride to the hospital in the back of the ambulance. Once we’re there, we show the DNP to the doctors. They count the pills. There are ninety left in the bottle. The label says it contained a hundred. Spencer tells me that even four is an extremely high, extremely dangerous dose for professional body builders—the guys who weigh over three hundred pounds.

Katy weighs a third of that.

All we can do is hope and pray. Spencer stays with me in the waiting room. We don’t speak. In the silence, I start to blame myself. If only I’d have paid more attention, maybe I would have noticed something amiss with her. If only I hadn’t shut myself in for three weeks, maybe I would have noticed Katy was having problems. But, she was always so cheerful and happy…

“Hey.” Spencer nudges me gently with his elbow. “It’s getting late. They’re going to ask us to leave soon.”

“What? They expect us to just… to just… abandon her?”

“We’re not family, so we can’t stay in the ICU,” Spencer says. “I’ve been here before. They don’t like visitors in this hospital overnight.”

“She doesn’t have anyone else!”

“I know. But we don’t have to go far. My place is only a few block away, and—”

“You expect me to stay with you?” I exclaim.

“If you’re as worried about Katy as I think you are, yes. But I promise, no games tonight. Our friend’s life is on the line.”
