'I'm not an addict'

'L.A?'

Michelle, however, did notice that Carla had knocked her bag over, she decided to go and pick it up for her. She put all of Carlas make up back in and then found a load of receipts from LA??....
"Carla, come here for a sec" Michelle said, stern. Carla came back through she looked at the receipt Michelle was holding up. She immediately knew Michelle had found out. "Snooping were us?" Carla snapped. "You knocked your bag off, well?" Michelle replied. "Well what, can't you read?"
"Carla, you were supposed to go to Spain-"
"Oh well sorry for living a little"
"Well, it looks like you've been living a lot with the amount of receipts!"
Carla grabbed the receipts off of Michelle.
"No prizes for guessing why you went to LA.... Come on EXPLAIN!" Michelle raised her voice. "Alright! If your so interested, I spent all day in a casino didn't sleep much and didn't see daylight" Carla shouted back. Michelle stood up. "How much did ya lose?" She finally asked. "Oh! I lost count"
"Oh my god!!!" Michelle shouted as she put her hands over her mouth. "It's none of your business Chelle"
"Well I'm making it my business.... So what is it the thrill of winning or something-"
"No it's not about that, it's somet I can do without hurting anyone else"
Michelle sat down. "Your hurting yourself though Carla!...." She paused for a minute then realised something. "That's it isn't it, you want to punish yourself"
"Yeah I do because it's my fault that 2 of the people around here are dead!" Carla yelled. "It was an accident Carla!" Michelle said. Carla didn't reply...
"You can keep saying it but even you know it isn't true.... I started the fire and now Maddie and Kal are both dead, so yeah I'm punishing myself"
Michelle started to tear up. She stood up. "Your my best friend... I can't bare to watch you destroy yourself" Michelle said as she true her best not to burst into tears. "Well leave me to it then..." "I can't do that!"
"No go on get out!!! GET OUT" Carla yelled in Michelle's ear. Michelle finally left and cracked. She closed the door behind her and started to sob and cry. She leaned against the wall, and Carla did the same In the flat. She started to cry.
