How good old days turned into bad ones; ones that I dare not forget or move on from even though I tried hard to. How I lost my friend to a senseless act that broke me and ruined my all.

With a nude video he made of me and posted.
I stared deeply into Jack’s eyes with compassion. He was literally the only friend and family I had and I do not take him for granted.
We have both been through a lot together and to think we met at a court premises was an unbelievable encounter. Ever since then, we have been good friends after venturing from helping him get a competent Lawyer for his child’s custody to him helping me see myself in a better light.
“What?” I asked shyly with a smile and he smiled back.
“You’re literally the one staring awkwardly at me.”
“I just cannot imagine life without being friends with you.”
“Yeah, right. Neither can I. I think we should celebrate life together. It's been a year? Or more?”
“A rough year, Jack.”
“We’ve really been through a lot together. You helped me throughout those times when I tried to get custody of my child. You’re a real one.” Jack complimented me and I blushed.
“You’re gonna make me tear up!”
“Feel all the emotions, Morgan,” he said and I nodded.
“Let's make the dinner tonight. I had a long ass day but I guess I can rewind with that,” I said and he nodded.
“I’ll come pick you up by 8:30.”
“Make sure 8:30 remains 8:30!”
“I promise to keep to time,” Jack said, smiling.
“Okay. I still need to be somewhere. I’ll catch up with you later tonight. 8:30!” I emphasized.
“Sure, Morgan! 8:30,” he giggled and I laughed before walking out of the cafe.
I jumped up at the loud ringing of my phone. I groaned as I reached for it and the caller was Jack.
“Oh, dear Lord. Where have you been?” he asked in a concerned tone.
“Uhmm…at home.”
“You can’t be at home after those thunderous knocks.”
“You’re outside my door?”
“I guess I am. That’s if I’m not at the wrong apartment,”
I got up and hurried to the door.
“I had no idea it was this dark!” I said immediately I opened the door. “Come in,”
“You passed out?”
“I had a rough day.”
“I guess we all do.”
“What's up with your day?” I asked him as I shut the door.
“Piper’s mum is suddenly claiming for her custody.”
“Where is Piper now?”
“At her mum’s.”
I furrowed my eyebrow at him and he rolled his eyes before sitting on the sofa.
“Don’t look at me like that. Sarah is a troublemaker. Heaven would break loose if I didn't let Piper go over to her place.”
“She’s only two. She doesn't deserve to go through all of this!”
“Please, Morgan. Don’t remind me of that. I came over to feel better, can you let me?”
I sighed, rubbed my eyes and ruffled my hair before sitting on the bed which was close to the sofa.
“Fine.”
“I brought a wine,” he said with a smile. “To feel better,” he quickly added. “Since it seems as though we aren't going for the dinner anymore,”
“Dear Lord, I totally forgot about the dinner,”
He smiled and nodded. “It’s fine. We have plenty of more days to do that,” he replied.
I nodded and brought two wine glasses. He poured the wine and I smelled it.
“Smells so…so decent and delicious.”
“It’s called Cabernet Sauvignon,”
“Never heard of that but I don’t mind,” I said as I took a large gulp of the wine. “Sweet Jesus! That’s delicious,” I commended and he smiled.
After a few seconds of taking the wine, I could feel my eyes getting heavy as well as my head. Coupled with that, I could feel my head spinning and my legs weakening.
“I do not feel drunk,” I said and I mean it but Jack laughed audibly.
“That’s what a drunk person would say,” he laughed more.
I do not feel drunk, I feel sleepy but I do not want to sleep. I feel tired and agile at the same time. I have no idea what that drink was but I felt different, not drunk.
“Strip!” I heard him say and without hesitation, I began to strip, till I was left with my panties and bra.
“Those too,” he commanded and I began to pull my bra and panties till I was butt-naked.
I was aware of what was going on but I was not in control of my actions. It felt like I was in a trance and I couldn’t stop what was happening.
Jack moved closer to me and caressed my cheeks, strolling his hands down my cleavage to my belly button while his other hand pulled my hair.
“Now, dance!” He instructed and I began to dance.
Then, the last thing I heard was the sounds of camera clicks as I danced.
