"Don't you dare give me a lecture about not trying Charlie! You are the one that gave up your dreams about becoming an architect not me!" I scream in his face, I have such a short temper. His face goes red.
"I gave up! Are you kidding me Lucy! I didn't give up; I stayed only because of you! I'm here every day trying to cover up your drug tracks and your relationship with that freak so that mom doesn't catch you! It’s your fault that I am here wasting my life day by day!" he stops there. "Oh Lucy that came out wrong, I didn't-"
"No stop, your right. Now please leave Charlie, go be with Karen" and with that I push him out my door and then gently close it. Everything seems to be happening so fast. One minute Charlie is my best friend and he cares nothing more than to be with me then I turn out to be ruining his life. I can hear him calling my name on the other side of my door. He's saying that I don't need to do drugs now, my blood is clean and that I can start a new life. He says that I could probably transfer schools if I wanted to. "Go away Charlie" I say as calmly as I could.
Drugs. I need them NOW. I walk over to my closet and look over in the corner where I have my old shoe box. I take off the clothes that are on top of it and open the box. It’s all gone all of my needles and all the left over supply that I had. Gone. Someone was in my room. Charlie. I run down the hall to Charlie’s room. I am going to explode. I see him standing amidst all of the packed boxes; he's leaning against the window like he was when I first got home.
"Where are they Charlie just tell me now" I say. He turns and looks at me.
"I don’t think so Luce, this is the one good thing that I can do for you and I am going to do it no matter what you say or do to me" he says with a strange calmness in his voice. What does he think he is doing? Dominic is going to kill me if he has to supply me with new needles and more drugs; he left me with a three week supply.
"Charlie please I know that you are trying to protect me and all but for your safety and mine please I am begging you, give them back" I would probably be even more mad if I was actually still on the stuff but now that I am sober I guess I can actually keep my calm. I look up at Charlie and he actually looks like he believes my dire situation.
"I’m sorry Luce" he starts, aw come on! "But I kind of threw them away the day that you umm you know went to the hospital". He actually looks kind of ashamed for being in my room at my greatest time of weakness.
