Chapter 11: New Fix

I couldn't believe what I heard. I could have gone and found Tommy myself. I could have been with Ma. Maybe I wouldn't be stuck with Joe. Maybe Naomi and Joel would have come with me. I didn't mean what I said but I was so angry. I grabbed my phone and sweatshirt making my outside, pushing my way past Naomi and Brendan.

"Jade where are you going?" I head Naomi running behind me. "Just leave me alone, okay?" I reply grabbing the keys and heading out the door. Right now I just wanted to drink. I don't want to think or anything. I get in my car and drive to the same bar. I couldn't believe Brendan kept me away from Ma and Tommy. I couldn't handle all of this. I have to worry about getting away from Joe. This is too fucking overwhelming.

I made it to the bar and got out of my car, popping a few pills in my mouth before entering the bar. The familiar smell of alcohol filled my nose. I went and sat at the bar, ordering multiple glasses of whiskey. I quickly downed them. "You can sure handle your alcohol" a woman's voice spoke next to me. I turned to look at her and she smiled.

"What's got you comming to a place like this?" The young woman asked. "You don't wanna know" I mumble, examining her features. She was very pretty. Beautiful hazel eyes. "Sure I do. Im here to listen" She spoke, her voice sweet. "Ahh. It's a long story" I mumble ordering more whiskey, quickly devouring them. I was getting drunk. The pills started to kick in and I started to relax.

It was later and I was drunk off my ass. "Wanna go back to my place?" The woman, I know now as Dana, spoke, smiling and finishing her drink. "Yeah sure!" I spoke, with a drunken smile. I handed her the keys to my car and we both made our way to my car, getting in, and driving to her house.

We made it to her house and she helped my drunk ass out of the car. I began to get a wierd feeling. Like butterflies? Maybe it was the alcohol. She helped inside her house and helped me to her room, laying me on the bed. She layed down next to me and we talked all night. I had sobered up by now.

"Wanna try something fun?" She asked calmly. A sweet smile on her face. I didn't want to think. I wanted to forget today. She got some things out and I immediately knew what we were doing. "We can do this and I'll take you home. If you wanna get away for a while, you know where I'm at." She said softly holding my hand. "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with this." I mumble, nodding my head. I haven't done heroin. I had usually stuck to pills and other drugs. She tied a piece of rubber on my arm and filled the syringe with the cooked drunk and injected it. I immediately felt the rush. I felt relaxed. She helped my back to my car and she drove me home. She got out of my car and called a cab. I stayed there for a bit before stumbling out and going inside. Brendan and Naomi gave me worried angry looks. "Where have you been?!?!" Brendan spoke up, anger and worry in his voice. "Don't worry about-" I stopped myself. I layed down on the couch and I felt myself relax. I got stuck in my own thoughts of Tommy and Joe. I didn't pay attention to what Brendan and Naomi where yelling about.
