Late Night Deals

Talia
"Go clean up yourself. You look like shit" he exclaims zipping up his pants. "Oh uh" he turns  around. I crawl up my bed covering myself more with the sheets.

He digs into his pockets. Grabbing some cash and throwing it at me. "Here is a little something for your troubles". He says before slamming the door. I felt like crying but I stopped it. I can't do this now not here.

I lock the door quickly before taking a long shower. I scrubbed every part of me making sure I removed his musky sent.

After taking my shower. I observe the bruises on my neck and arms. I don't even know how I am supposed to cover this up. Everyone will ask questions. I can't even use mom's makeup she'll immediately know I touched it.

I sigh putting on my clothes. I don't want to do this but I need to get my mind off this off everything. I grab the money off the bed. This is the most he has ever given me.

Since it is late and I don't want to wake them up I go down the fire escape. I ran as soon as my feet hit the pavement.

I stopped when I saw some hookers. I kept walking until I saw some guy leaning on a building talking to them. I walk over to him. I became hesitant when I saw the the gun.

I played it cool. "Hey" he looked down at me annoyed. I guess I stopped him from having a good time. "What do want shorty" he says looking around. The girl walks because of lack of attention for her.

"Give me the good stuff" i replied seriously. He laughs. "I'm here waiting on real customers. Go back to bed kid" he dealing some drugs. Angry with his reaction I take the money slamming it to his chest.

"Look I bin through a lot okay I don't need you messing with me. I give whatever that could get me" I point at the cash.

He counts the money "did you steal this?" "No now can we get to business" he shakes his head no giving me the cash back.

"I don't sell to kids. Go do some homework you don't need this in your system sweat heart." "You know what fine you don't want to give me anything. I'll find someone who will." Before I could leave a huge man stands between us.

I think I just peed myself. "What is the issue here Pablo." I guess that's the guy name. "It's nothing. I'm just sending this kid home"
He says to the big man. He turns to me.

"Why you out this late at night?" "I-I umm I need some of his products." I said nervously.
He chuckled "you can't get anything without cash." "I know I brought some" I handed him the money. " Well well kid you got quite a bit here. Since it's your first time customer you'll get a discount." He give me some money back and pockets the rest.

"Pablo give me the A20" he says looking right at me. "Boss she's too young for this we can't-"I didn't ask you for your fucking opinion.
Give me the it now" he cuts Pablo off. He give him a small ziplock bag.

"Listen kid this shit will have you see the stars up close. Do not take this until you reach home" i look at his eyes then the bag reaching out for it. He pulls it back getting my attention.

"Do you understand?" "Y-Yes sir" he gives me the bag. "Now go home alright. This is the only time you getting shit from me got it" I nod running back home. Quietly getting in my window I sit on the bed.

I swallow the pills immediately feeling the effects.
