Love hurts?

Family Intervention

Ocean's POV

Michael and I go downstairs for breakfast and look around for Nevaeh. "LaToya's taken her to the park for the day" Joseph says before we can ask. "she could have bothered to ask us first" Michael frowns. "she wanted to spend some time with her niece before you all go home tomorrow. Quit with the attitude" Joseph frowns. I'm about to speak when Janet comes in "I'm ready" she mumbles then looks and Me and Michael worriedly then walks out. "what's wrong with her?" I ask confused. "they had a drug awareness thing at school yesterday, she's been in a weird mood since the class. I don't know what the hell they showed the kids, but she's been freaked out ever since" Joseph sighs. "isn't that the whole point? To scare them?" I shrug. "yeah scare them. Not traumatise them" I'm about to speak when Janet comes back in. "where gonna be late" she mumbles and Joseph leaves to take her to school.

"I hope she's ok" I turn to Michael when they leave. "she'll be fine. at least we know she won't turn out like us" he mumbles. "nobody want's to be like us" I mumble back. "we'll be ok. And we're trying again remember? We just need enough to stop the pain and stuff. It's not like we're doing it for the buzz" he shrugs.

Joseph's POV

"so are you gonna tell me what's going on?" I ask Janet on the way to school. "nothing" she mumbles. "Janet, clearly something's upsetting you. Are you being picked on at school?" I ask and she shakes her head. "If you don't tell me what's wrong then I can't help you"

"It's not me" she mumbles barely audible "then who?" I frown confused and she looks away nervously. "Janet. If you know something then you need to tell me" I say getting worried. "I promised them I wouldn't say" she croaks. "who?"

"Ocean and Michael... I don't want them to die" she blurts out then starts crying and I quickly pull over at the edge of the road. "why would you think their gonna die? Did they say that?" I ask nervously.

"No" she mumbles, shaking her head. "Janet, your really scaring me right now. what exactly did Ocean and Michael say!?"

"I promised I wouldn't tell. You can't break a promise" she says nervously. "It's not breaking a promise if your telling your parent's. And if Michael or Ocean is sick or in trouble then you need to tell me. I can't help them if I don't know what's going on" she doesn't say anything and I sigh taking a deep breath "Your not gonna be in trouble and I'm not gonna get mad at you. Please just tell me what's going on" I say softly and she starts crying again.

It's take awhile and eventually Janet tells me everything and I sit in shock listening to her tell me about her taking DJ and what she saw when she went to see Michael and Ocean. "And your sure about this? You definitely saw them using a needle?" I ask softly yet sternly and she nods. "They said they were just playing doctors and made me promise not to tell, but yesterday in class, the teacher showed us a video and the people were doing the same thing I saw Michael doing... I don't want them to die" she sobs. "Their not gonna die" I reassure her "Do you remember the address of Ocean's brother?" I ask and she nods. "Are you gonna send them away again?" She sniffles and I shake my head. "Their not going anywhere. I just need to speak to Ocean's brother so I can help them" I smile through pursed lips. "Are you mad at me for taking DJ?"

"I'm not mad at you for anything. DJs fine and Ocean and Michael soon will be too. I just need that address from you" I reassure her. She's hesitant at first then eventually gives it to me. "Thank you. Now I'm gonna take you to school, don't worry yourself anymore about this ok? I'll take care of it"

Mollie's POV

"So what happened yesterday? Could you not get away?" I ask Michael and Ocean as I get in the back of their car. "Yeah, but we still had some left over is all" Michael explains. "I put a little extra in than you asked for" I smile handing it to them.  "You didn't have to" Ocean shakes her head. "we're actually trying to sto..."
