They Laughed Hard While I Was Dying

Summary

My girlfriend's so-called guy best friend found out I had epilepsy. He deliberately spiked my drink with stimulants.

The moment I drank it, my nervous system was overstimulated. My heart rate surged. My chest tightened. Then the familiar warning signs hit–blurred vision, fragmented awareness, the onset of a seizure.

The next second, I lost control of my body and collapsed onto the floor. My muscles convulsed violently. My jaw locked tight. My breathing turned uneven.

I struggled to pull out the emergency medication I always carried with me, trying to stop the seizure from worsening.
