Addiction

Chapter 8

I looked at the time and saw it was almost 6. I ran upstairs and walked to jonahs room.

"What do you want for dinner?" I asked hesitantly

"Don't care" he said playing his video games

I walked in and sat on his bed next to him. I took the remote and shut the tv off.

"Hey!" Jonah yelled

"What is your deal lately you hate me all of a sudden I don't know what I did. We were so close what happened?" I said

"You changed" Jonah said

"What do you mean I changed" I asked

"You're a bitch to mom. You smoke and drink now. Mom might not know but I do. You're never home and now you're bringing home random guys and making out with them. I'm 14 I'm not stupid anymore Alex"  Jonah said.

I stood there staring at him, speechless. He was right I've changed a lot. I used to get straight A's, I didn't have an attitude I never smoked or drank. I got along with my mom and brother and making out with guys never happened.

"Jonah I'm-" I started

"Save it" he said cutting me off and walking out of his room into the bathroom, slamming the door.

I sighed and went in my room. I decided to text Nash, within seconds he made me smile. Nobody has ever been able to make me happy like he does. I've never felt the way I feel towards him.

We talked for awhile and then my mom came home.

"Alex come down here please" I locked my phone, slipped it in my pocket and walked downstairs

"Yeah" I said approaching her

"How was your day" she asked leaning against the counter

"It was good" I said smiling, thinking about me and Nash kissing

"Why was it so good" she asked confused

"I don't know it just was" I said smiling and shrugging

"Did you guys eat dinner" my mom asked with a confused look on her face

"No" I simply said

"Well what would you like" she asked

"I don't care. Let Jonah pick" I said

She nodded. I walked over to the couch and sat down. That was the fist conversation me and my mom have had where we haven't yelled at each other of given each other an attitude in months. It was nice

I checked my phone and had some texts from Nash and Riley. I ignored the texts from Riley and I answered Nash

I continued to talk to Nash and my mom came in the living room

"Is pizza okay. I had a long day I don't feel like cooking" she asked

"Yeah sounds good" I said smiling

"Okay what happened today." My mom asked sitting next to me

I looked at her confused

" you've smiled more in the past ten minutes than you have in the past three months. What's going on" she asked almost worriedly
