A.N: For those of you who haven't given up on me yet... Here's a new chapter. I'm sorry I stopped updating for the longest time. Hopefully you guys will decide to start reading it again so I will try to be more dedicated to updating it more often. Once again, I'm sorry! And THANK YOU if you're still reading this :)
My mouth dropped open.
"W-what?" I stuttered, wondering if I may have heard my aunt wrong or something.
"Kyle is an addict," Aunt Mary repeated, more blunt this time.
I couldn't seem to process it in my mind, but I guessed I should've figured it out. It was so obvious. I guess I just hoped my suspicions were wrong.
"Honey?" She said, shaking my hand that she had taken, trying to will me out of the daze I was in. I shook my head. Why was I so affected by this information? I had just met this boy today, I shouldn't be so upset about it. I frowned and looked at my aunt, "that doesn't make any sense... How could a sixteen year old boy-"
"Seventeen, honey," my aunt corrected.
"Seventeen. How could a seventeen year old boy be a drug addict?" I asked her, my voice went quiet at the end of the sentance. She looked at the floor, her eyebrows pulled towards eachother in a frown.
"I never did get the details. You're going to have to find out yourself. Just, be wary around him, alright, sweetie? I don't want anything happening to you," she said, obviously concerned. I chuckled quietly, "I'll be fine, aunt mary. I can look after myself."
A few minutes later I found myself sitting on my bed, exhusted after the long day. I pulled out my phone and the anxiety from earlier today came shooting back to the pit of my stomach. A new message, from Kyle.
'Hey'
The simple word alone made my stomach do flips and my heart to sink. I blew out the hair I was holding in and replied quickly.
'Hey Kyle'
I sent the message and dropped my head onto my pillow. What was I supposed to do? Pretend I didn't know that he was a drug addict? I certainly couldn't talk to him about it, I didn't know him well enough. My phone vibrating interrupted my thoughts and the anxiety pierced my stomach once more. If this was going to happen every time I got a text from him, I was going to get an ulcer.
'Come hang out'
My breath hitched in my throat and I racked my brain for any excuses I could think of.
'Sorry. I can't... I'm not allowed'
Lame.
My phone vibrated a couple seconds later, making me cringe.
'Haha, that's gonna stop you? Come chill. I'm coming to your aunts house to pick you up, wait for me outside.'
My heart was pounding fast in my chest as I stared at my phone with a frown fixed on my face. I couldn't think of any reason not to. It was summer. I wouldn't have to sneak out, my aunt would let me go anyway, so I wasn't worried about getting in trouble. But something in my gut was telling me that this was a very bad idea.
'Okay'
***
A few minutes later, I was standing on the curb outside of my aunts house, and a car pulled into the driveway. Kyle rolled down the passengers' side window and leaned over so he could see me standing outside of the car.
"Coming?" He said with a giant grin plastered to his face, and he chuckled when I hesitated, then opened the door and stepped in. What was I doing? He turned his head to look at me, still with that rediculous grin on his face.
"You look pretty," he said, smiling impossibly wider. His eyes were darting around my face, and his pupils were blown so large I could only see a small sliver of blue around the edges.
"Thanks," I said awkwardly, turning away from him, trying to hide my blush. He chuckled -again- and pulled out of the driveway.
I could tell he was high.
