Chapter 11

I wake up with pressure on my chest, unaware until my bleary gaze meets the ceiling that I slept at all. It takes a moment to realize that I can’t move because someone has their arm draped over my ribs just above my waist.

When I painfully turn my head, sore joints screaming at me in protest, I see Kai with his head propped up by his free arm and smiling down at me in a sad sort of way. “Don’t freak out.”

I try to get up, but the weight of his arm stopped me. “How the hell did you get in here?”

“Diamonds have skeleton keys, remember?” Lukas pops up at the end of the bed with a handful of over-the-counter medication and bottles of Gatorade in his arms that he dumps on the bedspread. “Let me know if you feel nauseous because I have something for that.”

When I shove at Kai’s chest with the hand that isn’t trapped against his body, he barely moves an inch. “What are you doing?”

“Detoxing you,” Lukas says gently as he grabs a nearby wastebasket and lines it with an empty grocery bag. “Or at least we will be soon.”

My body freezes as the word detox slowly filters over my awareness. “Detoxing me from what.”

“You can deny it if you want to,” Kai says with a heavy sigh. “But we’ve already talked to Asher, who is a total piece of shit by the way for letting it get this far. We’re not leaving until all the crap you took is out of your system.”

There doesn’t seem to be any point to denying it. “I have to go to class.”

“You’ve been excused for the rest of the week,” Kai tells me. “Jayden does a remarkably good job at pretending to be you and he called Dean Felton’s secretary this morning from your phone. Nobody even knows you’re back on campus.”

Part of me just wishes that I’d been able to hear Jayden Heart doing his best impression of my voice. “You guys don’t have any idea what’s going on here.”

Lukas’s expression is sympathetic, but resolute. “We know that you’re dependent on your pain medication and right now is the worst time for you to be using, so we’re going to help you get off it.”

If I had access to my hands, I would claw both their eyes out. “So this is some sort of intervention?”

“We’re kind of skipping over that part and going straight to the treatment. The lack of consent is admittedly an issue, but we’d rather you hate us and still be alive than just sit back and watch you destroy yourself.” Kai shifts back but still keeps me trapped on the bed with his arm around my waist. “If I get up will you stay on the bed, or do we need to tie you down?”

“You would really tie me down?” I ask, voice incredulous.

Kai shrugs. “If you make us.”

“This is ridiculous.” I’m already thinking about how long it’s been since I took my last pill, long enough that I’ll start to feel it pretty soon if I didn’t take another.
