Jamie's Survival

Thirty-two

Steven smiled sitting on the cushion.
"I kept wondering when you would come see me but you never did so I might have followed you last night" He said.

"Get out" I stood akimbo.

"Baby, don't we have a lot of catching u to do? Starting with the contract" He threw the paper at me.

"Jamie.." Nelson walked into the sitting room dressed for work.

"Just go to work baby.. Steven was just leaving" I said.

"No, actually I'm not.. hi, I'm Steven.. Jamie's boyfriend.. are you a sponsor or a new Manager?" Steven asked.

"None, I'm his boyfriend and you can't come into my house without permission it's break in" Nelson said.

"It's not, Jamie let me in, We have some unfinished buisness" Steve replied.

"Our buisness finished when you got me hooked on cocaine" I snapped at him.
"I didn't . You asked for it, you told me you loved me so let's go" Steven said.

"I'm calling the cops"Nelson brought out his phone.

" I'm here for peace offering, I want him to complete his contract "Steven said.

" He's not working for you anymore.. he quit"Nelson dialed the number speaking.

" Even at the expense of this?" Steve brought out a wrap of cocaine waving it.

"Get away from me" shiver rippled through my body.
"Common, you used to beg me for it.. even sucked me off for it" he tore the wrap and scoped it in his palm.

"You must be really thirsty for jail" Nelson glared at him.

"Jamie was my money bag.. His sponsors want him. Jamie jobs are piled up for you.. different magazine want you in their cover story" Steven said.

"I don't want celebrity life anymore" I replied.

Someone started knocking.
It was the police.
Suddenly, Steve threw the scope of cocaine to my face and Nelson pushed himself in front of me and we fell on the ground.

Part of it got in my face before the police walked in.

"Don't do anything.. lie still please" Nelson carried me into the bathroom dumping me in the bathtub clothes and all.

Spraying water on my face.

"You're okay.. you're okay.. none of it got into you" he whispered in my ears.

I started crying. I didn't want to go back to rehab. I wanted to start college soon and become a therapist.

I almost lost all that.
What if we didn't have sex this morning? Steven would have found me alone.

What if Nelson didn't shield me with his body soon enough?
What if I had licked that part of my face?
I could've lost everything I've fought for.

School.
Nelson.
My family.
My sanity.
