CHAPTER 13

As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard the machines beeping around me. It took me a moment to realize where I was, and part of me wished I hadn’t because then I remembered why I was there in the first place. Roman had taken advantage of me.

“Hey, Sutton,” Sunni hesitantly said as she stood over my bed.

While blinking repeatedly, I tried to speak, but my mouth was so dry that I couldn’t talk. As soon as Sunni realized what was going on, her hand reached out for the cup of water sitting by my hospital bed. I grabbed it with shaky hands and gulped it down in two swallows.

I tried again after clearing my throat. “How long have I been here?”

“It’s the next morning,” she whispered, her eyebrows creased in the middle. “Happy birthday.”

I groaned, closing my eyes. I winced in pain when I changed positions ‘cause I was sore between my legs.

When I heard her sniffing, I looked over to see her crying into her hand.

“Why are you crying, Sunni?” I asked, slowly raising my arm up to her face, removing her hand so I could see her clearly.

“I let that happen. You were right there, and I ain’t know something was wrong.” When she said that, I sat up higher and tried to be careful not to pull the IV out. “What do you mean? What was wrong?”

She frowned and opened her mouth before the sound of the door interrupted us. Moments later, a handsome black doctor appeared with a clipboard in hand, and mama rushed in behind him.

“Ma, what you doing here?” I wondered, shocked at her presence.

“I got on the first flight out, baby. How do you feel?” She touched my forehead to check for signs of a fever. “You slept for a long time,” she added.

“Ms. Garrett, I’m Dr. Drake. Good to see you up,” he said, gazing at the chart. “First of all, happy birthday.” I gave him a small smile as I balled my fist into the white sheet.

“Like I told your mom, you were on a high dosage of Ecstasy when they brought you in.” My heart dropped into my stomach. “Do you remember taking anything from anyone last night?”

He picked up the pen from the board. Embarrassed, I bit my bottom lip nervously and averted my eyes. It was so damn stupid of me to take anything from Roman.

I whispered, my chin quivering with emotion, “Someone gave me a drink and a few gummies.” After he nodded, he added something to his chart.

“There have been several patients from that party who told us the same thing about these gummies. It’s likely that they were laced. I’m glad you came in right away. The amount in your system could have caused organ failure,” he explained, giving me a sympathetic look.

Sunni spoke up as she grasped my hand. “The owner of the Airbnb is working with the police to find Roman.”

The doctor nodded to confirm her statement. “Mr. Creed has been a great help.
