As we walked to his car, he turned to me.

"Maybe now you can tell me what this whole thing is about." He seemed cautious - but also curious.

I just nodded.

Maybe I could trust him after all.

"So Nick is your brother?"

"No, kind of, he's my adopted brother"

She wasn't lying.

Elle and Dave were sitting in a parking lot really close to Dave's place.

They had made a deal.

She would tell him everything in exchange for protection.

And she did it without hesitation.

Anything but there.

But a part of her also knew she was also doing this because she needed someone like him.

Someone she could talk to about absolutely anything.

A friend.

Her hope was shattered when she realised that Rae was her first friend.

Look what happened to that.

When Elle's addiction started, Rae noticed and he tried to help.

He really did.

And she let him.

He took her to rehab.

She was fine with that.

He told her he would be back.

She believed him.

The people there started treating her like she was crazy.

She hated that.

When he never showed up again, she gave up.

She shut her emotions and created a wall, hiding herself from everyone.

"So, do you know why he didn't show for 6 months?" He actually seemed concerned.

"He said they wouldn't allow him." Elle felt the bitter taste in her mouth after speaking these words.

I knew he was lying when he told me.

I told him it was fine.

My head was clear now, I could see behind his lies.

Someone called him on our way back.

I knew it was Nick.

He wasn't worried.

He was just curious.

This was all his fault.

He did this to me.

Always hated me from the start.

I thought he was past it when he asked me if I wanted to hang out.

That was my first big girl party.

That was the first time I smoked.

That was the first time I met him.

Deryk.

He was everythi-

"Wait wait, was it like love?"

I laughed.

"It was kind of, like, an I only love you when I'm high sort of thing."

I paused for a second.

"But I think I got addicted to him too."
