"come on-" My twin brother said as he helped me escape from my bedroom window. The air outside was cold and refreshing as it filled my lungs, a great contrast to the air in my parent's disgusting house. Once my feet hit the ground, our older sister Rachel climbed out behind us. Once all 3 of us were out, Landon closed the window and we took off running towards the black truck parked in the driveway. I was feeling paranoid, looking over my shoulder expecting to see my father chasing us at any given moment. Rachel got in the driver's seat while I sat in the back, as Landon made it to the passenger side first. I didn't care, I wanted to get out of here. I was so stressed out about getting caught by our parents, my mom probably wouldn't care but our dad would blow a fuse.
"Rae, you got a lighter?" I asked my sister, ready to light the blunt I had rolled for us to smoke on the way there. She handed me the pink lighter and then cranked the truck up. She immediately took off, knowing she had mere minutes to get down the road before our parents came outside. She looked around nervously, making sure nobody was coming outside after us as we drove down our long, dark driveway, trees covering us on both sides.
I lit the blunt, passing it to Landon as I tried not to stress out about our plans tonight. I unlocked my phone and called my boyfriend Nicholas as I needed to tell him that we were on our way, so he could get ready for us to pick him up. I bit at my fingernails as I waited for him to answer the phone, eventually, he did. "Hey baby," He said, sounding like he was asleep. "Hey, we're on the way to you now we'll be there in like 5 minutes," I said to him as my brother passed the blunt back to me. "Okay, love you," He said. "I love you too," I said back before hanging up on him. As I was doing that Landon was calling Kylie, our childhood best friend who was also a part of what we were doing tonight
I spaced out, smoking the blunt while he talked to her on the phone, Nick didn't live far from us, so soon we were pulling into his driveway where he was sitting on the trunk of his grandma's car, smoking a cigarette. He hopped off and got in the backseat with me, sliding in close to me as he leaned in and gave me a gentle kiss, "Did you get out of the house alright? You didn't get caught did you" He asked me with this arm wrapped around me. "Nah, I crushed up an entire box of Benadryl and put half of it in his beer, and the other half in the crushed-up pills my mom was already snorting, they're both unconscious as fuck" I said, hoping my siblings didn't get mad at me because that was not apart of the plan.
"Holy fucking shit Leah, you're a little psycho," Rachel said, trying not to laugh. "That's insane they aren't gonna die are they?" Landon asked.
"fuck no dude I took 20 Benadryl the other night, I was high as fuck but I didn't die. They'll be fine" I said, making my brother and sister laugh. My boyfriend seemed bothered by that, and I immediately felt bad. I didn't know what to say so I just pretended not to notice his discomfort, if it bothered him back enough he'd bring it up. Sure enough, he whipped out his phone and began texting me.
"what the fuck do you mean you took 20 Benadryl the other night??"
...
"It's not that serious babe it's basically the same as taking a tab of acid"
...
" pls won't ever do some shit like that again if u want acid I can get it for u"
...
"I'll be fineee I don't do it that often I was just bored. I had Kylie with me if something bad had happened she would have gotten help"
...
"it doesn't matter pills are way too much I don't want u doing that shit"
I didn't appreciate Nick telling me what to do, so I turned off my phone and started talking to Rachel and Landon instead. I could tell this pissed Nick off, but if I didn't cut this conversation off now we were gonna spend all night fighting about it and that was absolutely not in the plan for tonight.
