    FRED'S POV:
    NASHVILLE, TN, AUGUST 24, 1986
    "Come on, Fred, don't be a big baby."
    He said, almost as if he was teasing me.
    "You aren't scared, now, are you?"
    He added.
    Something about him calling me a big baby, I just didn't like it.
    Yeah, I may be the youngest but that doesn't mean I'm a baby or just scared.
    I wanted to prove myself, but I knew that there would be consequences, even for that.
    And I didn't really want to face the repercussions.
    But then again, if I face them, would I become a cocky person?
    I'm not a cocky person, and I certainly don't want to have a big ego.
    "I don't know, Derek."
    "Come on, give it a try. If you don't like it, it's fine, I won't bother you anymore. "
    He said simply.
    "So?"
    He asked as he sat and got to work with the drug.
    Putting some on this curved spoon.
    "What do you say?"
    "I'm not sure, Derek. I don't want to be addicted to anything."
    "You won't, I promise."
    "And how do you even know that?"
    "Because I use heroin every other day, I don't seem addicted, do I?"
    "Well, no?"
    "See. It's all about... control."
    He said as he turned the lighter on.
    I bit my inner cheek as I watched the fire slowly start to melt the crystal.
    "Come on, Fred. Just once."
    He said.
    I sighed.
    "Can I just snort it?"
    "Shooting up is the best way. I promise you."
    He said.
    My eyes stayed on the crystal. 
    "Ok."
    I simply said.
    I honestly don't know why I said that.
    It didn't take long for it to have melted completely. 
    "Ready?"
    He asked as he pulled on the syringe, pulling up some of the melted crystal.
    "Yeah."
    I said.
    "This is going to help find your vein a lot faster."
    He said as he grabbed a band, and started wrapping it around my arm, tightly enough.
    "Ok."
    He started to get the syringe close to my left arm.
    "Derek?"
    "Yeah?"
    "I- I don't know about this."
    "Don't worry. You'll be fine. Besides, the show starts in about 5 minutes, you could use a boost of energy and something to help calm the nerves."
    He said.
    For some reason, I believed him.
    "Ready?"
