Short Story - Party's Over.

in #story7 years ago (edited)

Jenny tries to steady her hands as she stretches them out in front of her but they seem very blury and she doesn't seem to know why, it appears like she has 8,9 maybe 10 fingers. Her mind raced back to when the got to Tim's house for the party all in an attempt to figure out if she's taken in something "unusual' but she can't seem to place her hand or mind where, the room was spinning now and she needs to steady her self as she scans the room for a place to sit or lie but all seem to be occupied, the ones that are sitting and dancing uncontrollably to what sounds like FIA FIA by someone she used to know like 3 or more hours ago.

She manages to find her way by holding the walls and chairs or whatever seems to be more upright that she was, finally she found her way through what seemed like a kitchen to her, she reached out for a cup on the sink, the first fell off but on the second attempt she was able to get hold of one and she took a drink of water which tasted a bit too cold as it went down her throat. She dizzily seats on a rocking chair at the balcony which shared a door with the kitchen. She was still not sure what happened or what she drank, from when she got in and moved together with the group of her roommates to the sitting room where music was blasting at its maximum as she tries to remember it sounds more like the music is playing in her head for the world to hear rather than the radio, she had insisted that she was going to take just alcohol and be their "party mom" when they get wasted and as far as she could remember she had stuck to the plan, so what is going on? She now feels a bit dizzy and can feel as blood flows through her veins now.

Just the Jide came through the kitchen door, he is a bosom friend of the celebrant Tim and he had had an eye for Jenny since they met in a general class about a month ago and he hadn't let her go a day without hitting on her and she guessed today won't be an exception that was why she didn't want to attend the party but was convinced by her friends to, at this point she looked back through the open door to see if any of her friends where around somewhere all to no avail.

Jide now sited beside her runs a hand over the neck line of her dress and continues through her 'V' necked blouse down towards the base of the V and almost past her cleavage into her dress, she felt irritated but was too weak and numb to tell him off, he smiled mischievously as he goes round again trying to do same, she jolted up and gave him a stern look with no words came out even though there where thousands of them in her head. He came closer this time a bit slower and took her hand and whispered into her ears...

You remember the beans wey you chop as you enter ba? Which means I hope you remember the beans you ate on arrival? The next words were shocking and scary...Igbo dey inside meaning we added weed (cannabis) in it. She felt more numb now because she does not know how or what to do to get out of this, before she could process these things she felt him gripping her tighter and down she went as she felt her head striking something hard and everything else went blank.
When her eyes opened she was facing her friend Kay who had gone to the party with her and was still on her party dress, the look Jenny gave her obviously demanded explanations and Kay did of how she was feeling too hot inside and came out just in time to see Jide bending over her and she too was too stoned to understand what was going on but Hide had explained that you got so high that you could not find your around and you fell down hitting your head on something and he was trying to get you up but he didn't have the energy and so the party ended because they all came out to take her to the hospital before they all left for their houses leaving him to take care of her, and Jide had been nice enough to offset the bills before he left that night.

On hearing this the only words that came out of Jenny's mouth were...NOW WEY MY EYE DON CLEAR MAKE I USE MY EYE SEE THAT IDIOT JIDE- now that am OK let me set my eyes on that idiot called Jide!!

Hope you had a nice time reading this short story ))
