My eyes opened to another day of guilt, another day without him. I sit up my hair draping down my shoulders, I gazed over at my clock it was already 7:25, I scrambled to my feet and slipped into my favourite ripped jeans and black crop top with a grey hoodie. I swiftly put on my make up a thick black eyeliner, lashes and some lip gloss. now I only had 10 minutes to get me and my annoying little brother Dustin to school. we were definitely going to be late, but I wouldn't make it threw the day without it. so I scrambled through my desk to find my little red notebook, once I found it I opened the blank pages to retrieve a little plastic bag with a white powder inside. I used my debit card to make the powder into a line, with a rolled-up dollar bill I snorted the whole row in seconds. " Amelia we are going to be late hurry your ass up" Dustin screamed. I grabbed my bad and we left a minute later.

We got to school just as the bell rang, Dustin ran to his little dweeb friends and I made my way to the most boring class on earth... Maths but hopefully James will have my order in so I could bear the pain even just for one more week. I won't last longer than another month without Billy, I didn't think I would last a week let alone 4 months but hopefully, my suffering would end soon. 

I took a seat and turned to James "do you have the stuff?"                                                                                "no," James said shyly                                                                                                                                                          "what! you said you would have it by now" I spoke just a little too loud                                                           "I couldn't get any. but if you really need it that Munson freak deals he should have some" James turned away 

Now I had to talk to Dustin's friend Eddie Munson he was the leader of the nerd club my brother is in. I didn't want to but I had to if I wanted to live in peace without the longing for Billy without the desire to end my suffering once and for all, to let all my problems sore away and have a glimpse into paradise. 

So at lunch, I found Dustin. 

"Dustin where is that little friend of yours?" I shouted to him from across the cafeteria                             "who?" he replied                                                                                                                                                                  "Eddie. Eddie Munson" after I said that Dustin looked at me in pure shock                                                 "He should be in the woods behind the school"

Before he could say anymore I walked off to find Eddie. I found him staring at a tree I tapped him on the shoulder. 

"Holy hell man you scared me!" he squealed                                                                                                                "god man calm down." I said blandly "you know what I can't be bothered to chit chat I want some stuff and I heard you deal can you hook me up?"  He just stared at me "so?" I asked again                  "yeah of course I can hook you up. I was just fingering out where I know you from, your Dustins older sister right?" he asked                                                                                                                                               "yeah that's me. So dude you gonna give me the stuff or what" I sat down on the bench                      He opened a metal bag box thing which had  DnD cards and little plastic bags in it.                                     " I can give you a half-ounce for 20?" he said picking up a bag and placing it on the table                   "Yeah that sounds good."

He stared at me his eyes in a trance " you know I  thought you would be different I thought you would be mean and scary."

" I thought you would be mean and scary to honestly you don't look like the fun type,"i said chuckled 

"This isn't the first time we hung out you know" he spoke happiness creeping into his voice 

"really?"  I replied 

"yeah middle school we did a talent show you did that little dance with your friends with the pompoms and stuff it was really cool actually" a chuckle escaped Eddies mouth 

"oh yeah and you were in that band I still remember your song"  I laughed 

"really" he replied 

Eddie sat back down. and handed me the bag of cocaine he gave me a 25% discount. After that, I left and he flashed me a smile. I headed to the bathroom.
