~Somebody Save Me~$crim

New Chains, Same Shackles

The look on Aristos face when I walked inside the house was rather humorous. He raised a brow suspiciously but didn't say a thing until I flopped down on the sofa beside him. "Well that was quick. I just dropped you off like, what? An hour ago?" I let out a deep sigh, running my hands through my thick hair. "The cops are out lookin for her so she gonna be crashin here wit us for a bit til it's safe for her to dip back home. I just picked her up a couple blocks away." Thankfully once Scott spoke up for me Ari didn't push the subject any further, like he knew that whatever Scott said was a done deal, no questions asked. "Well what's the game plan then? We gettin loaded and watching movies again? Or you wanna work on some beats Scrim?" I peered over at him with a curious gleam in my eyes. He scrunches up his nose and makes a pondering expression. "Both. But first I'm gonna show Sunny where she can sleep an shit." Ari just smirks coyly as I get up to follow alongside Scott upstairs.

I was half expecting to be staying in a guest room or something, but when he opened up his bedroom door my eyes widened a tad as my heart began to race. "Normally I'd offer you our spare room but right now it's our lil studio we got goin on. So I hope you don't mind staying here, I'll sleep out in the living room so y'all can have your personal space." I wasn't sure what exactly the fuck possessed me to grab onto Scott's hand but clearly I did so without even thinking. To my ever growing surprise he doesn't pull away though, he just stares down at it kind of unfazed. "No no, it's your room, that wouldn't be right of me. We already spent the night together, I really don't have any problem just sharing with you. I can sleep on the floor and you can have the bed." He scoffs, shaking his head. 

"Nah girl we ain't gonna do that. If you really don't mind then we'll just share my bed." A shy smile creeps onto my face as I realize he still was holding onto my hand so I nonchalantly give it a light squeeze to confirm my answer. His cheeks flush a tinge of pink as he lets go, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Ight good to know then. Just so you aware though it's been a while since I had anyone up in my bed, I'on really show affection." I press my lips together, shrugging. I wasn't expecting any to be showed. "I'm not worried about any of that, you're doing enough trust me." He just smiles weakly at me before motioning to follow him back down to the living room. "Come on, lets go keep Oddy company fo' he starts getting suspicious."

<p>Once we reach the bottom step I can see that Aristos is already hard at work sorting through different bottles of pills and baggies of other various drugs that I'm sure we would be consuming throughout the night. "Damn Norman, you ain't waste no time in busting out huh?" Ari just grins cheekily, presenting his display like a goddamn buffet. "Help yo' self to whatever you want Sunny, you're our guest an all." I simply grab another Oxy along with a Xanax, plopping them in and chasing them down with a water Scott graciously hands me. Aristos racks up a couple of lines of coke mixed with Valium, a balancer as he liked to call it which they waste absolutely no time in snorting up. The intoxicated grin that plasters itself across Scott's face is euphoric. Thankfully the pills only calmed me down to a drastic normal, the anxiety, anger, and paranoia I previously was experiencing became nonexistent all at once. 

Ari's eyes are proceeding to roll around in his head but he manages to get ahold of himself a few minutes later, leaping up off of the couch and grabbing Scott's MAC as he carefully sets it down on the coffee table in front of us. I perk up slightly, honestly a bit excited to finally see the guys in action. Sure I had listened to their music before a time or two but to actually get to see it be in the raw, behind the scenes stages was a complete different thing. Scott slowly drags himself from up off the sofa beside me, seemingly out of nowhere snapping to reality as his fingers start to fly across the keyboard. He's clicking the buttons at an alarming rate but in no time do sounds start to emit from the speakers.
