Drug аbuѕе саn bе further dеfіnеd as thе dеlіbеrаtе uѕе оf chemical ѕubѕtаnсеѕ fоr reasons other thаn іntеndеd mеdісаl purposes and whісh rеѕultѕ іn рhуѕісаl, mental emotional оr ѕосіаl іmраіrmеnt of thе uѕеr.

I Wish I Had Listened to my parents.
There have been many times that things have happened and Ive said I wish I had listened but this…this has to be the worst.

I never should have gone….. I knew it was wrong but I did it anyways….God I wish I had listened…
It all started when my friends (Allison and Chloe) and I got invited to a party, now it wasn’t exactly for our age but we wanted to go anyways. Our parents said we couldn’t go but we kept asking and as the cycle goes….the more we asked the more they said no and the more they said no the more we wanted to go.

We came up with a plan, Allison would say she was going to Chloe’s house for the night and Chloe would say she would be in my house and I would say that I was going to Allison’s house for the night.
Now I don’t know how we managed to last a week without anybody finding out be we did. Friday night came and we were in the public bathrooms (classy) getting ready. We arrived at the party at ten o’clock and had fun.

After an hour of talking to random people, I decided to go and get a bottle of water.
After getting my bottle of water I went to leave and find the girls but I bumped into someone.
“Hey I’m Kyle” Now don’t get me wrong he seemed like a normal guy but there was something off ,but of course I didn’t notice that or I wouldn’t be here now would I?…
We talked and played 21 questions and there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it, but thinking back now I realised that’s where you learned everything, from having strict parents and no siblings to having 3 fish when I was 6. Everything we talked about didn’t seem that important, but it was to him.

After a while I told him “I need to go to the bathroom, do you know where it is?” He told me where it was and that he’d hold my water, I don’t know why but I trusted him…which was a very stupid thing to do.
I got back and we went out the front and talked some more, I suddenly got dizzy and Kyle “the hero” caught me when I fell, now I really should mention that Kyle was around 18 and I was 15.
I felt dizzy, sick, faint so many words to describe the feeling but the best word would be drunk but I couldn’t be drunk 1: I’m 15 and I don’t drink. 2: I don’t like the taste of alcohol and 3: I drank water all night!
But he caught me, when I fell and when people looked, he just said “oh she’s just had too much to drink, I’m gonna take her home” and people believed him, sure, nobody knew who he was, to them he was just a random guy helping a poor sick girl….. how wrong they were.
He carried me down the road and when he tried to put me in his car I struggled, as you would if you were in my situation but I wasn’t strong enough and eventually I must have blacked out.

I woke up in the back seat of a moving car. Nothing registered for a minute but then BANG! I remembered all that had happened and started to struggle yet again, which as I look back on, was really stupid, maybe if I’d kept quiet I would have been able to sneak out if he stopped the car, to get something, but who’s to say he would have stopped. He might have stopped already when I was asleep.
I must have blacked out again without realising it, because when I woke up I was lying on an old, dirty mattress with no blankets or anything like that.

Like any normal person I started to panic and bang on the door, and call out but I got no reply.
After a while of panicking I realised nobody was coming anytime soon so I should just sit back down and try to calm down.
That was the moment everything started to click why he listened and asked questions but only answered vaguely, why I felt dizzy after going to the bathroom, everything.
He Drugged Me. Why? I don’t know but I’m sure to find out soon.
I really wish I had Listened to my parents when they said ” don’t talk to strangers” “don’t leave you drink down” ” don’t go” and so many other things but I didn’t and now I’m trapped, in some dark, cold room.
I wish I had listened to my parents.
