"Oh god my back" Virgil whined

"Are you alright sweetie" I wondered

"Nope I threw my back out helping Gordon lift those boxes" Virgil explained

He looked like he was in terrible pain

"Well let's get you to bed then" I suggested

"No I'll be fine" Virgil dismissed my concern

"But..." I didn't want to argue with him, so I left him alone

I was scared to make him lose his temper, I found his keys on the side

"Olivia, can you get me some paracetamol, my old injuries are playing up" Gordon requested

"Ok" I replied

I unlocked the door to the infirmary and I opened the cupboard where all the drugs and stuff where kept, I found paracetomol, I also found a box of Vicodin, I snuck that into my pocket and I was done, I handed the paracetamol to Gordon and I got a glass of water, I walked up the stairs to my room and I placed the Vicodin in my draw, Virgil will kill me for taking it, but he doesn't have to know, I took one pill and I swallowed it, I took a sip of water to ease it down my throat, I shut the draw and I walked back down the stairs and I placed Virgil's keys back where I found them, after an hour or so the effects of the Vicodin had started to kick in, I started to feel a lot happier and a bit nauceous at the same time, my throat felt dry

"Are you alright, you're not eating" Virgil asked me, I hadn't touched my dinner, it was because I felt sick

"Yeah I'm fine" I grinned

Sh*t, Olivia, why are you making it obvious that you took something

"Ok, well try and eat something, I'm gonna go to bed now because my back is killing me" Virgil sighed, he ruffled my hair and he kissed me

I eventually ate my dinner in the end, I stayed up until everyone else went to bed, Alan walked downstairs, I jumped when I saw him

"I know you took something" Alan growled

"I don't know what you're talking about" I lied

"Look I know what the effects of Vicodin are, I've taken it before" Alan snapped

"Please don't tell him, look you can have half of my allowance every month if you don't tell him" I begged, I handed him 10$

"Fine, I can live with that, just don't overdose, it will kill you" Alan mumbled, he took a bottle of beer out of the fridge and he went to bed

I trudged up the stairs and I collapsed on my bed, I felt so exhausted, I fell asleep after a while

*a few weeks later + Gordon's POV*

I noticed that Olivia was acting oddly, Virgil had taken me abseiling

"Have you noticed anything odd about Olivia lately" I asked him as he was handing me rope

"No, why" Virgil wondered

"Well it's just that she's acting weird, she's throwing up every five minutes and she has unpredictable mood swings, ranging from happy and sad, I think she's taken something" I told him

Virgil stopped what he was doing

"What do you think she's using" Virgil questioned my theory

"The other week I asked her for some paracetomol, she had your keys to the medicine cabinet and well I think she snuck something out of there, and by the looks of her symptoms I think she's taking Vicodin" I explained

Virgil stared at me for a while and he got back to what he was doing, how could he ignore something like this

"I'll talk to her later, I am going to kill her" Virgil muttered, he was making sure my harness was tight

"Don't hurt her" I squeaked
