Falling
Drugs. I walk over to my closet and look over in the corner where I have an old shoe box. I i take off the clothes that are on top of it and open the box. Its all gone, all of my needles and all the left over stuff that i had. Gone. Someone was in my room. Charlie. I run out of my room down the hall to Charlies room. I actually think i am going to explode in anger. I see him standing amidst all of the packed boxes, he's facing the window like he was when i first got home.
"Where are they charlie just tell me now" I say. He just turns and looks at me.
"I dont 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 suply.
"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.
"Im sorry Luce" he starts, aw come on! "but i kinda threw them away the day that you umm you know went to the hospital" he actually looks kinda of ashamed for being in my room at my greatest time of weekness.
Oh great. Now what am i going to do? Either i go down and dig through the nasty trash or i go to Dominic and ask him for more stuff. Hmmm this is going to be a hard choice, yeah right im going to the trash! Before i leave i turn back to charlie,
"Charlie i would watch your back in the next few days, there are some really dangerous people out there" He nods at me and for a moment i actually think that he really understands what i am trying to convey about Dominics outbursts but then he says
"are you one of those dangerous people Lucy" I surprised at his quesiton, am i dangerous?
"No charlie, im not somebody that you should be worrying about" I say then turn around and leave his room. Now.... to the trash. I have to get my stuff back there is no choice.
