Lady Blue

One day

I'm currently stuck in a dark closet waiting. Waiting for who ever just walked in to finally fall asleep or leave, anything. Travis is downstairs and I have no idea where the fuck he is hiding but we have to get out of here soon. We decided that we needed some extra money, I mean we have job's and all but ya know money is money we all need some, one way or another, and some more than others. But let's face it this thrill will never beat anything in life. The feeling that you might get caught or get away. My brother and I are very close to each other. I remember one time we were out and we actually caught for the first time with stolen cd's from a local record store and he took the whole blame, spending 3 days in jail, not sure how much he had to pay we never really talked about it, just let it go. He actually didn't even steal any of it, just a look out. But that didn't turn out well I guess our local "friendly neighborhoods" who claimed to "love us" to our parents actually called the cops on us considering, the record store was only blocks from them. Sometimes we forget that we actually don't live in the house and we are very loud most of the time but we learned our lessen that time, to shut the hell up. Usually we get away. But when a mission fails I learned to never panic that just makes things ten times worse. I'm taking my time on my ride, enjoying it.

I heard someone coming that's when I ran into the closet. They entered the room and I groaned quietly. They hit something that sounded like plush, maybe their bed? After about ten minutes I heard a groan but these groans were more like grunts and pants, this definitely wasn't a girl. Makes sense since there was a naked girl poster staring directly at me. Was this kid seriously masturbating? I mean I understand a guys needs and he didn't even know I was in here but man...guys. As I let him do his business I started getting curious so I was looking through his closet. Lots of flannels and jackets, might just take one. I felt something like a bottle, more like a container in one of the pockets of his jackets. I took out the container and saw that it was pills but the name was under a girl's name "Rose Mane". The container said that the pills were for insomnia but when I opened it I saw that these pills where blue and a bit thicker than usual pills. Ecstasy that's what he has.....or had. There was about five in the container I took two. After three minutes he let out one really loud moan before relaxing a bit, then I believe proceeded to get up. I heard him shut another door not really caring where he went and quickly wrapped a flannel around my waist and shoved the pills in my back pocket and hurriedly opened the door and flew out. I was hurriedly trying to look for Travis and ran down the stairs when I heard a soft groan and saw that I had stepped on a hand, Travis's hand, he was underneath the damn stairs. 

"Travis what the hell man! Hurry someone's here!" I whispered- yelled.

"I know dipshit! I saw him!...wait did you find some money jewelry anything?"

"Yes I did but let's go!" We ran out the front door quietly closing the door without getting caught. We ran for 2 blocks just to be clear and stopped, out of breathe  in front of some gas station. 

"I'm..gonna..go get..two beers...be right back." Travis said in between breathes. I nodded and waited for him outside leaning against a wall. I pulled out the two pills and looked at them debating what to do I can either take them or sell them. Sell them. I can get around $50 dollars or more for just these two. Five minutes went by until I heard a voice.

"What's in your hands?" I jumped , too deep in my thoughts.

"Shit Travis, you scared me. You know what these are and were not taking them this time. Were done with anything like that. We can never repeat what happened last time." I looked him the dead in the eyes, more than serious. He nodded knowing not to discuss more than what I said.

"Let's go home." He said, I didn't nod or anything just started walking home, Linda is probably wondering were we are at 3 am in the morning.

"You work tomorrow?" Travis asked me on the way while passing me a beer.

"Yeah I go in at 10 that's when my first session starts." Believe it or not I teach little children how to play the piano I've been playing since I was 6 and decided since that's the only thing I'm good at might as well use it for some good use.

"I'm teaching some 10 year old girl named Ella and from what I read from her form she seems pretty pure." Travis laughed shaking his head at me. We saw some man standing on the other side of the side walk, he looked about twenty three, waiting for someone maybe.

"Hey wait up, I'll be right back." I said. I ran across the street approaching the man he didn't look suspicions or anything so I trusted him. I immediately pulled out the two pills from my back pocket.

"Two for $50 bucks?" He seemed shocked at first, his bright blue eyes widening.

"Aren't you young to be selling?" He said with a thick accent, making me widen my eyes.

"Aren't you the one waiting for your prostitute?". He smirked at me and then pulled out his wallet. He handed me a $100 dollar bill, more than I asked for. I didn't say anything just took it and handed him the two pills.

"I'm Niall by the way" he said stretching out his hand.

"Dawn" I shook his hand and then explained to him how it's late and that I should get going. He agreed and let me go, not without drinking half my beer first. I ran back across the street to Travis.

"What took you so long?" He said then took a swig of his beer.

"We were just talking for a bit, no big deal" I responded.

"Whatever how much did you get and how much did you get from that house or what did you take?" He told me. I pulled out the money that I took form the kid's drawer. It was a not that big of a stack with about $500 dollars now $600 dollars with the extra money from the pills. He didn't even try to hid it or anything. It was just right there with a rubber band holding it together. Travis let a sad smile cross his face, obviously hoping for more.

"This is all I got before he came. What did you get?"

"Everything was locked but someone left this gold necklace on the kitchen table" He pulled out a very shiny, very expensive looking necklace. I smiled at him, impressed. 

"When we get enough money we'll leave. Everyone and everything. Finally just start our own lives start fresh, leave all this behind, even you Travis you know I love you but, we agreed that that was the best decision." He gave me another sad smile.

"I love you too sis and I know it's for the best. One day this will all be worth it."
