Just Another Bad Boy Story

Chapter thirteen: New boy in town.

(Ethan’s P.O.V)

 

The door slammed and Haley was gone. My body was paralyzed from what she said, I didn’t know she thought about taking drugs again. I remember how much she used to cry about it and how she vowed never to take it again. I just hope she won’t start again, I know how much pain she feels after our dad and I can’t blame her. He was her hero, her rock. And that’s what I want to be for her now, but I will never take his place. And I don’t want to either I just want her to be happy, to feel that her life isn’t meaningless and find her way back to her old happy self. I shake my head and walks over to the couch and crashes down next to Aiden. He hasn’t said a thing since I told him to stay, I think he is in chock. He didn’t know about Haley’s drug abuse, and I guess he’ll be asking a lot of questions and I’m not sure if I’m ready to answer them. Instead he turns on the TV and watch the characters on the show carefully. I think he knows that I don’t want to talk about it.

“So.. Haley has been a stoner huh?” Or not. I sigh and take the remote and turn of the TV.

“Yeah, a long time ago” I replied. Aiden just nodded his head like he didn’t know what else to say or do. So I started to explain.

“It all started about two years ago, Haley spent a lot of time with some kids on the upper east side and one night she was invited to this party. And the morons she hung out with gave her drugs, and it made her feel like she was someone important” I took a sip of the beer I had on the table before I continued.

“Her friend Angelica found out and told me and together we helped Haley quit the drugs. But then a year later there was this guy named Mason-“

“Mason?” Aiden asked. I studied his face, wondering why he reacted at his name.

“Yeah, why?”

“Oh, nothing. What did this Mason guy do to her?” He looked at me and I could see him turning his right hand into a fist, like he knew what was coming.

“Well, he told Haley that he was in love with her and she believed him and fell for him too. Their relationship got serious and Haley said that they loved each other, but I couldn’t help but to find that a lie. And one day she came home crying and shaking, Mason made her do drugs. He told her that he liked her much more when she was high. And that broke my sister’s little heart into pieces” The anger was flowing in my vessels and now was also my hand in a fist. I wanted and still wants, to beat the shit out of that prick, I really hate him, more than anyone else in this stupid world.

“I went nuts, wanted to tear Mason apart but Haley told me he wasn’t worth it, but I couldn’t just sit around and watch her go back to abusing again so I told our dad. And he told Mason’s dad and now he is going to a private school in France” I said and took the rest out of my beer can. I looked over at Aiden but he was just staring out blank in the air, like his mind were some where else.

“Earth to Aiden, can you hear me? Earth to Aiden!” I said with a silly voice and Aiden shook his head and looked back at me.

“Sorry, It must have been hard for you” He said.
