Through The Night

20 minutes later......

       We arrived at the old abandoned mansion where we always meet the rest of the group on a day like today. The door creeked open and we ran upstairs, being careful not to hit any fragile spots that would send us to our doom. Once at the top we realized we were late because everyone was already there. Jimmy, the late Rick and roller who couldn't graduate. Tina, the alcoholic whod also posed as white after losing two children. And Brock, the supplier. I sat on the old couch that the last owners must have left behind. Ray sat beside me. He put his arm around me and told me he had a surprise for me. Ray never had surprises for me. Thats what I liked about him, he never had surprises. He got up quickly and jumped behind the couch. He threw the box on my lap and everyone laughed. I didn't really understand.
     " open it." he said , kissing my forehead. I unwrapped the paper gently and soon came to a box. As I opened the box Ray got in front of me. For a moment there I could have sworn her get down on one knee. I was kinda scared because we had only been together four years and we were both half high for half the time. When I opened it there sat a needle and a tube, with a rubber tie.
     "What's this?" I asked. I'd never seen this green liquid before in my life.
   "Well, we call it squatch. I've never tried it before though and I want to try it with the person I love. You. " he kissed my lips and we went back into the bedroom. I sat on the bed, the dust and old smell not bothering me anymore. I could see everyone else leave for God knows what reason. Maybe squatch made you horny, help I didn't know. But atthis point I didn't really care what I took. He tied the tube around his arm and held the needle up, flicking the top a few times.
    " are you ready?" I asked him. He nodded 'yes' and I found the vein. I inserted the needle and heard him moan. God I loved his moan. It was like when you take the first bite of the best pie in the world. As soon as the first syringe was empty I laid it aside and he took the rubber strip from his arm and I rolled up my sleeve. The blood had dried on my wrist as he tied the tube around my muscle he looked down at it.
   " does it hurt anymore?" he asked.  He ran his fingers over it gently.
   " Not as bad As living in that house does. " just then he bent down and kissed my arm. It stung a little but I always loved the way he kissed me. Like I was good. He leaned up and found the vein. Holding my hand with one hand he used the other to insert the syringe into my vein. I felt this surge of energy. It came suddenly and without fail. My eyes opened wide and I could tell this was something I hadn't tried before. Squatch was some hidden heaven that had just found me. I began to see things a lot differently. Suddenly Ray didn't look like Ray anymore bye didn't seem like the man of come to kno and love.
