Chapter 13 I'm just stoned:
I sat on the couch with a bottle of beer.
I put the joint to my lips and inhaled then passed it to Kate.
I'd lost track of how many beers I'd had not to mention the shots of...what was it?
The small clock radio on the table said it was just after 6 pm.
The radio was turned on and '21 Guns' by Green Day was playing.
I had been here for awhile I think but I wasn't sure.
I heard my cell phone ringing; I reached into my jean pocket and answered it.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Hey Tre' where are you?" Jason asked.
"Uh...I'm with friends." I said.
"Oh, well Edward's pacing up and down the hall you've been gone for 5 hours." He said.
5 hours? Holy shit were did the time go?
"Oh yeah something came up...I was longer than I thought I was going to be." I said.
"Ok, hold on let me tell Edward."
The phone was silent and I took that as a chance to take another hit.
"Okay so when are you going to be back?" Jason asked.
I coughed, "Soon."
"Are you...smoking?" He asked in a suspicious voice.
I laughed, "Of course not."
"Uh-huh that's what they always say. Just wait till I tell Edward."
"Don't tell him, he'll freak out." I said.
"Yeah and maybe he'll talk some since into you."
"I thought you didn't care?"
"I don't, I mean I did all that stuff when I was younger but maybe you're taking it too far."
"No I'm not." I said.
"We'll talk about this later just get home so Edward will calm the fuck down."
"Is he that worried?"
"You said you'd be right back and it's been 5 hours I was getting worried too."
"Alright I'm on my way."
I hung up and put away my phone.
"I got to go." I said to Kate.
"Aw so soon?"
"Yeah, you still need a ride?"
"No, I'll get Mike to give me a ride." She replied.
"Alright, see ya later."
"Wait." Mike said.
He stood up and handed me a small plastic bag with a white cigarette shaped object at the bottom.
"Thanks," I said taking the bag and stuffing it in my pocket.
"No problem." He replied.
I walked out of the house, a bottle of booze still in my hand.
I walked down the sidewalk drinking the last remains of the beer.
When I was finished I chucked the bottle across the street and heard the shattering sound of glass breaking.
I stumbled to the car and fooled with my keys to get the door unlocked.
The keys slipped out of my hands and I bent down to pick them up.
When I finally got the door unlocked I slid in the car and drove back to the house.
I walked in and went to the kitchen.
"Hey Tre'. Finally back?" Jeremy said.
"Yeah, where's Edward?" I asked.
"Shower."
"Oh, did Jason tell him...?"
"That you were smoking? No."
I sighed.
"God knows he would've fucking flipped if he found out." Jeremy said.
"Yeah," I agreed.
"So what were you doing smoking...what was it? Weed?" Jeremy asked.
I nodded.
"What were you doing smoking Weed?" He asked with narrowed eyes.
I shrugged, "I happened to be at a place were they were smoking it."
"And you decided to join in?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Such a little troublemaker, reminds me of myself."
I laughed.
"Are ya drunk too?"
"Yep," I replied.
"Nice, you're high and drunk."
Jason walked in the kitchen, "Alcoholic and a pothead, what's next?" Jason asked.
I chuckled, "I'm neither of those things."
"Seems like your both." Jeremy said.
I ran upstairs and to my room, I brushed my teeth and put my jet-black hair into a ponytail leaving my bangs to fall into my eyes.
I took the bag out of my pocket and threw it on my bed.
I walked out of my room and bumped into something hard.
I almost fell but cold arms locked around my waist.
I looked up to see Edward.
His bronze hair was messy and wet and he looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Sorry." He said.
"What? Oh yeah, no problem." I said.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.
He wrapped his arms around me tighter pulling me against him in a hug.
"I was worried, what took you so long?" He asked.
"I-uh-I ran into an old friend we started talking lost track of time I guess." I replied not hugging him back.
He let go of me and looked into my eyes.
I stared into his dark, dark eyes and was mesmerized.
I felt a sudden urge to tell him the truth.
I tore my eyes away from his and felt dizzy.
I walked back downstairs with Edward.
"Eddie boy!" Jeremy said.
"Don't call me that." Edward said.
"Eddie I demand you come out with us tonight." Jeremy said.
"I-
Jason cut Edward off, "You have no choice, and you're coming. Trinity will be alright for a few hours."
"But-
"No choice." Jason repeated.
"Fine." Edward said.
