"Okay Kelley, I want you to be careful these pills may cause hallucinations and other weird side affects." Dr. McKinley said as she handed me my prescription.

"Thanks" I said

I get home and my bestfriend/roommate Nathan is knocked out on the couch drunk. He is a freshman too he's brown skinned,tall plays football, has dreads, and he's bi. I signed him up for this sobriety thing cause he's always drinking and I care about him. No not in that way we're just friends.

"Nathan" I tap him he doesn't do anything.

"Nathan"

"What?" He moans sleepily.

"Get up it's time for your meeting" I say.

He moans again, at this point I decide to get some cold water and splash it on his face he wakes up instantly

"What you do that for!?" He says angrily.

"Get cho ass up you gotta go to that sobriety meeting today."

"Man I don't wanna do that shit I'm not an alcoholic."

"Yeah whatever."

We get in his car but I drive cause he's complaining about a hangover and while we're sitting at a stop light I pop one of the pills Dr. Mckinley gave me because I caught a slight charley horse in my calf.

We pull up and it's not many cars here. I see a red car a minivan and full van.

"Explain to me why I have to be here again." Nathan whined while he had his head tilted back with sunglasses on.

"Because I care about you and I only want what's best for you, now get up and call me when its over so I can pick you up."

"I'll go under one condition." He said with his head still tilted back.

"And what is that?" I said raising an eyebrow.

He lifted up his shades and told me that he wanted me to come in with him. I don't know why I don't even party as hard as him! I keep downstairs to myself while he's in the other room partying or screwing the next sleaze that checks him out, what a slut!

"Ugh okay." I say as I open the door

We walk in and there's this receptionist sitting at the front desk on typing on the computer. She looks up and smiles.

"Hi welcome to Montgomery Recreational Center. How may I help you two today?"

"Um hi we're looking for the sober living association meeting." I say looking at the flyer.

"Oh okay you're going to go past me turn to the left and keep going straight until you see the conference room and it should be right there." She says smiling again.

"Thank you." Nathan says. His voice was so deep I almost melted.

We start walking and I see a room with a oval shaped table with people sitting around it. As soon as we walk in everyone turns around and starts staring which is really annoying. I hate when people stare like don't you have a fucking life to tend to! But I just remind myself that I'm here for Nathan. As we make our way to our seats I see that's there's this one guy who didn't even turn around. It was like we weren't even in the room.

"Hello welcome to Sober Living Association what are your names and how old are you. Remember you don't have to be ashamed we aren't here to judge we're here to empower one another." The I guess leader says.

"I'm just here to support my friend. Is it okay if I sit in that chair over there?" I say pointing "I don't want to interrupt."

"That's fine." She says

Nathan takes his sunglasses off and introduces himself and everyone greets him except that one guy that didn't acknowledge us.

"Is he crazy or sumn." I say to myself quietly.

He looked up at me and shook his head no and looked down. That was a little weird but I don't think about it because he was so cute! He had nice curly hair and a sleeve of tattoos and his face was so perfect. He had hair around his jaw line and it was perfectly laid. His jaw line was so sharp it looked like I could cut my finger on it. He had big hands too ohhh Jesus take me noww! He looked up again chuckled and then looked down.

"Can he hear me?" I say quietly again.

He looked up again and shook his head yes and it was at this moment I got scared and next thing I know he was storming out and no one paid him any attention. Then I start getting sleepy and fall asleep right there in the chair.
