"Really Larkin? You brought cocaine into my house?" Aunt Shannon exclaims, holding the white powder up to my face, her eyes red with fury. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I want to feel remorse, to feel bad. But I don't feel anything; I can't feel anything.

She exclaims, continuing her rant, while my eyes glaze over, feeling the effect of my latest savior and heroine. "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?" She exclaims, watching the life drain from my eyes as the blackness of my pupils covers my emotionless blue irises.
