Tuesday, April 10th:

It's late in the afternoon as Drew & I are in my room watching tv. I get a text from Odessa asking if I want to come out to drink with her & our mate Luke somehow them also being in Charleston.

"Who's that?" Drew asks as he see's me typing.

"We are going out tonight with my friends Odessa & Luke." I say not looking up from my phone.

"We?" He questions me deciding that he is coming with.

"Yes we are meeting them at a club at 7:30pm." I say.

"Okay." He says not fighting the fact that he's coming.

"You can meet my other friends. Don't worry they are really sweet especially Odessa I think you'll get along with her." I say as he nods listening to me.

It's 5:30pm when Drew goes back to his apartment to get ready knowing I'll take longer to get ready, promising me he'll come back before we leave. I'm in my bathroom putting on a light green silk dress matching with white heels.

I'm honestly nervous not because Drew is meeting my other friends but the fact that my drug addiction gets bad when I go out to clubs & I don't really want Drew to see me at that state

I'm honestly nervous not because Drew is meeting my other friends but the fact that my drug addiction gets bad when I go out to clubs & I don't really want Drew to see me at that state. I question myself whether or not to do drugs tonight besides weed but I know without Rudy or Odessa it'll be hard to stay away.

6:32pm rolls around & Drew walks into my bathroom where I still am getting my hair straighten.

"Wow you look good." Drew says eyeing me up & down in the mirror.

"Thank you, you look handsome." I say blushing hoping he doesn't notice.

I finish straightening my hair & we are getting ready to leave. As we go in the living room I see Rudy on the couch looking at us. I walk over to hug him bye & that I'll be back later tonight.

"Be careful okay! Don't over do it alright?" Rudy whispers in my ear making me hum telling him I understand.

"Stick close to Odessa." He finishes as we break apart I just smile & nod turning to Drew as we head out the door.

We make it to the club at 7:34pm seeing Odessa & Luke standing outside in the line. Me & Odessa scream as we hug something that isn't unusual to us while Drew bro hugs Luke introducing each other.

"This is Drew guys, Drew this is Odessa & Luke." I say smiling really hard as I introduce Drew to the others watching as he hugs Odessa.

Everyone is getting along while we wait in line. I watch as Drew & Luke talk about something I don't really know what because I'm admiring Drew the whole time til Odessa whispers in my ear.

"Does he know?" She asks stating about my drug addiction.

"No, nobody knows besides y'all & Rudy. Don't have the heart to lose anymore good friendships." I explain as Odessa nods & links our arms.
