Moving On

45 Rehab

   I chuckled when I re-read Sky's text the next morning.
[SKY]: Meanie :(
It was funny how i was the mean one when she was the one who was being hostile every chance she got. It was at least good to know she didn't hate me as much anymore.
It hurt me a bit I couldn't continue talking to Sky last night. Thanks to Megan of course. She had knocked at my door so i had to cut the conversation short and when I asked her what she wanted , she said she needed tissues. As to what she needed them for,  I didnt know.
  Trudging out of my room in my tracks, i caught a glimpse of Megan in the kitchen . I was about shouting her name but stopped to scare the her instead . I sneaked up behind her and leaned close to her ear.
  " Booh"

I got the reaction I wanted . Her shoulders jerked roughly, the bottle in her grasp falling to the ground.
" What's wrong with you, Allen?" She said turning to push me aside as she bent down to clean the mess i had created. I was about laughing when my eyes caught the sight of the pills on the floor.
I waited for Megan to pick them up from the floor and then snatched the bottle from her.

"What is your issue?" She said as she stretched to grabbed it from my hand which was high up over her head.

" What is this?"

" None of your business" Megan said gritting her teeth.

" Drugs. You're still doing drugs " I said and lowered my hand . Megan grabbed it from my hand .

" What has that got to do with you?"

" We agreed you wouldn't anymore. I brought you here.  You're now clean and you're going back to this?"

" Of course, Allen doing us favours. Let's appreciate him more "
Megan said and turned to the countertop grabbing a tissue.

" You're my friend and sister, so no, I'm not doing you any favours. I'm merely just taking responsibility of you"

" Well maybe you shouldn't " She said aggressively.

"You're out of rehab now"

"And ?"

"And so you can't go back. We've come this far for you to go back"

"Look in it" she stretched the bottle towards me.

"What?"

"Look at the pills"

"Why ?"

"You remember the pills I used to abuse . Maybe look at the bottle more closely"

I raised my eyebrow a bit and then took it from her stretched arm doing as she said.  I opened the cap of the bottle and they were Tylenol pills. I looked at her and she had her lips pursed.

" It's that time of the month"

"Oh. ..but why didn't you say that instead ?"

"Just to see how much you trust me, i guess."
She said staring long and hard . She shook her head and walked away from me into her room , banging the door once inside. I felt bad I couldn't trust her.  It had been close to 6 months now since Megan got out of rehab and to be honest, i was merely looking out for her. Maybe I was really doing too much.  I sighed and went into my room .
I'lld give it a few minutes then go and apologize to her.
