Queen Flavia (Nate Archibald)

Drugged

I sighed "tired, exhausted, and drained"

He sat down on the edge of the bed "you look like it"

I nodded.

Nate asked worried "you wanna tell me what happened?"

I shrugged.

Nate "what was the last thing you remember?"

Me "Our argument. I got mad and left. I got drunk and the next thing I know I was with.."

Nate asked confused "with who?"

I shook my head "I don't know. I see his face, I know his face but I just can't put the name on it. "

Nate raised an eyebrow "so you were with some guy this whole time?"

I looked at him "Nate, I don't know what happened to me but ..."

His face fell "The drugs happened"

Me "Nate, drugs can cost me my career, i would never do that"

Nate "well, apparently you did. Or how can you explain the drugs in your system?"

I shrugged "then what's the story?"

Nate sighed "Fla-"

Me "What's everyone's version of how I ended up in here?"

Nate "You don't wanna-"

I nodded "I wanna hear it. I can handle it"

Nate "After our argument you left, got drunk and then did some drugs, and to top things you somehow ended up with some stranger –"

I shook my head "Nate, I didn't sleep with that guy"

Nate "are you saying that because you know or because you think?"

I looked down.

Nate "apart from the fact you don't remember anything at all from the night you spent drugged with some guy, why were you even doing drugs? "

Me "I already told you I don't remember anything about drugs. I have no idea how I even got to them. I don't remember them at all"

He shot me a look.

I asked confused "Nate, do you really think I would risk my career for drugs just because you hurt my feelings?"

Nate "they found drugs in your system. So you must've taken them somehow or how do you explain it?"

I shook my head "I don't remember, Nate, I don't know"

Nate "do you think that maybe that guy –"

I shook my head "no. "

Nate sighed "We need to consider-"

Me "he would never do that, "

Nate "so you do know that guy?"

Me "I told you I can't put a name on the face, Nate. But i have a feeling that he would never hurt me like that. "

Nate "Then what else happened?"

Me "I told you, I don't remember how the drugs got into my system and that I don't know how that guy fits in this but...Nate, I swear to you I didn't take those drugs on free will nor did anything happen with that guy"

Nate "you swear?"

I nodded "I swear"

He nodded and put a hand on my leg.

My voice cracked "Nate, I wanna go home"

Nate sighed.

I pleaded "Nate, please, I wanna go home. Take me home"
