chapter 45

MICHAELS POV

"a drug dealer?" Luke gasps as I tell him about my new career.

I end up talking to him for a long time about how it came about, an old friend of mine from high school ended up going to the same party as me.

we got talking and he began to tell me how he earns at least $500 cash every day.

he told me how he sells drugs, from class B through to class A. we got talking a little more and he told me that I was intimidating and sensible enough to be a drug dealer myself.

he now halves his batch of drugs with me and we sell them, I have no problem finding people to sell them to, since my friendship circle consists of Danielle and many other crack heads.

I buy a cheap pay as you go phone and give everyone the number, and on my first day of business, I have $350 to splash on whatever I like.

I'm not going to do any of the drugs, just simply sell them, my favourite drug is money.

Lauren bugs me a lot because she wants to know what my new business is.

I don't want to tell her because I know she will be deeply ashamed of me. it'll come out sooner or later but I'm not prepared to tell her now. not that I really care what she thinks, but that will probably be the final straw and I guarantee she will stop coming back to me.

we go to the pub to meet Calum and Lauren, I have drugs on me to sell if it comes to it - there's always a possibility. they're hidden in the inside pocket of my denim jacket.

Lauren harasses me the whole time we are at the pub with her whiny voice "what's your new business" and starts to really piss me off.

she eventually stops and I feel at ease, I can now drink my beer calmly.

we all talk for a bit and Luke and Calum go outside for a 'smoke' even though I don't recall one time that I've seen any of them with a cigarette.

after 10 minutes of 'smoking' Calum walks in and heads straight for me. if he's going to have a go at me about the dealing situation I will knock him out here and now.

"can I have a word?" he asks and I roll my eyes.

"if you're gonna have a go at me calum, I swear to god I will knock you the fu-" I begin but he cuts me off. "I wasn't going to have a go at you. come outside."

we walk outside so I take the opportunity to spark a cigarette.

"well?" I ask as Calum stands beside me.

"I need some of your drugs. not a lot, just some." he says quietly.

"Calum I'm not selling you drugs, I don't want you turning into a druggy. you've got your whole life ahead of you."

"just this once Michael. I'm in pain. I've had a rough time and I need to get high. like we used to." he pleads.

"this is the first and last time that this is happening Calum." I warn and he nods.

"$50 per gram." I say and he nods, counting out $50 and handing it to me. I reach into my inside pocket and hand him the small substance.

"don't you dare let Lauren find out Calum."

I stub out my cigarette and we go back inside. I sit next to Lauren in my original space.

"you smell of cigarettes." she says.

"just had one." I reply, sipping my beer.

"since when do you smoke?" she asks.
