Dancing, drugs, colorful lights, sleep deprivation - it was a combination designed to make the night one to remember, albeit in a fuzzy, vague sort of way. Sunar could hardly recall a thing that had happened, beyond the euphoria, which had so overwhelmed him that he could hardly even be concerned when someone mentioned, at around two in the morning, that they were locked in. It seemed so inconsequential, that they would have to all spend the night in an old abandoned mental hospital. That his family would worry never occurred to him in his chemically altered state, and he couldn't hear his phone over the incessant pounding of the music.
Sunday morning rolled around, the sun peering into the jagged, broken windows of Burbanks, causing Sunar to squint in an attempt to see properly. He staggered through the crowds; he hadn't slept at all, had felt that being locked in meant they should continue the party all through the night, a sentiment shared with most of the other attendees. But now he could hardly stand up; his legs and feet were killing him, his head was throbbing, and his eyes kept wanting to drift shut. He peered groggily around, trying to focus on staying awake. Still locked in, he could hear people murmuring about this, concern now coursing through the crowds in ways it hadn't when the party was still going strong.
"How're we gonna get out of here?" Someone asked. He didn't have an answer. When the police came to unlock the gates they would surely round them all up, an unappealing option for sure. His parents would not be the least bit pleased if he got arrested for trespassing -- and for drug possession. They had left several voice mails on his phone, though he hadn't checked yet to notice this.
"Ugh," He stumbled over to the nearest person, "Still can't get out?" As though there were any doubt, now that so many people were milling worriedly near the doors, "What're we gonna do?!" He attempted to stifle a yawn, blinking sleepily. "Can't stay in here all day! That'd...that'd....that'd suck."
