Ecstasy

1

I scrubbed down the counters as 'Cool for the Summer' by Demi Lovato blasted through my headphones. I was working an opening shift at a diner that wasn't too far from my house, I usually did work here whether it was when I needed money for drugs or when I knew that my anxiety was getting to the point of almost killing me, or sometimes I did it to pass the times. Right now though, I was doing it because I could not stand to be around my dad at the moment. We had gotten into this huge fight over him finding my stash again, and it's just the hugest fucking problem now.

"Hey Freya." Martin, my manager, spoke up.

I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket and paused my music. "What's up?" I asked

"Your shift was over like an hour ago." he said

"Oh shit, was it really?" I looked over at the clock, and indeed my shift had been over for an hour, "Fuck, you're right. Shit, my bad." I said

I tossed the rag I had been using and started to untie my apron. I walked over and hung my apron on its corresponding hook. I proceeded to unclip my name tag off my dress and put it on the apron, then I grabbed my bag. "Bye, Martin. See you tomorrow. Maybe." I walked out of the diner and dug in my purse for the keys to my silver Malibu Chevy.

As I fumbled through my purse trying to find my keys, I heard the bell from above the diner door ring, so I turn around and Lujan was standing right there. Lujan is Noor's--my best-friend-- very much toxic partner.

Noor is a beautiful girl, and she's honestly one of the nicest people I've met in my life but sadly for her she met Lujan about four or so years ago and since then they've been in an on-and-off relationship. One in which they break up for a month, then they see each other at some club, have sex and suddenly they're back together, and although me and all the other girls have tried our best to tell her not to do that anymore, she continues on fucking herself over.

At the moment, Lujan and her were broken up, which, although I fucking love Noor, was honestly a benefit for me because when they were broken up Lujan was allowed to deal me drugs. Now on several occasions, Lujan sold me drugs while they were still together and it had been the cause of their break ups, and it wasn't really that Lujan loved to watch me hurt myself it was more like it was better for him and for business, so he had to put his relationship in jeopardy in order to keep his business flowing.

Which, I was fine with, and I know it sounds really fucked up because Noor is my best friend and I should think for the better of her but I'm an addict and I think a lot about drugs and he has access to the good stuff.

Lujan got into the business at a really young age, he has been selling drugs for longer than I've been doing them and to this day he still hasn't gotten caught, but that's only because he doesn't deal them first hand to anyone but me.

He has people that have people who hire people to distribute the merchandise, the only reason why I'm his only direct client is because I approached him when him and Noor first started dating and at first let me tell you, he was quite the reluctant fuck but after my offering of a hundred and fifty bucks for three tablets of MDMA he was more than happy to sell it to me, even though he knew that would most likely get him in trouble with Noor.

"Hey, you left your keys on the counter." He walked over and handed them to me. "Good looking out bro." I unlocked my car and got in.

I was turning the car on and then I heard a knock on my window, so I rolled it down. "Hey..um..I know this could be kinda weird but can you tell Noor to please text me back, I really need to talk to her." his voice sounded less cocky than usual, and he looked like he was depressed, and although I really didn't want to get involved between these two, simply because I kind of am the reason why they broke up this time too.
