Unexpected Turns (EDITING)

*Chapter 6*

When I think back to the first-time Dom and I went out I remember him telling me that he was going to teach me about things I'd only hoped to learn about. I wasn't sure then what he meant by that but I do now. Drugs, and I'm not talking abusing prescription drugs I'm talking about Heroin. He was a junkie just like Kyler said and I thought better of him. I'll never forget the first time I agreed to try it with him.

We sat in his room on his bed with a friend of his. He didn't say anything but he knew what to do. He handed me this needle full of the drugs. He showed me where it went and how to do it. I followed his lead and instantly I felt the monster rage inside of me. It took only a few seconds before I was lost between reality and ecstasy. My eyes dilated instantly my pulse quickened and I thought I was hearing things. I can't remember when it started to wear off but I liked the numb feeling it left me with. I couldn't remember much about what happened when I was high but I know we had sex each time. It's not a conscious thing more sub conscious and it's not able to be stopped.

Once the monster is in you it's hard to tell it no, because every turn you make it's all you're thinking about. It's all you want and need until you get that next fix. I'm not sure how long it took for Dom to turn me into a zombie and I wouldn't have known any different. I lost my job and lost track of school and the things that used to be important to me. All it took was the one hit and I was hooked beyond repair.

As the summer ended something inside of me knew I would have to make the changes. I wasn't sure that he would be on board with me but I would have to try. I needed to focus and get my shit together before the start of my senior year. My high must have been wearing off since there were normal thoughts running through my mind.

"I need to sober up before the school year starts again. I lost everything I had and you're at the top of the list of reasons why. Are you with me?"

"I am not going to be sober anytime soon. I am not about the same life as you. Maybe we should have thought that through before screwing around." He said

"So, just like that I mean nothing to you?"

"I guess it seems that way." He said honestly and it hit me hard.

"I can't do this anymore. I need to focus and get clean before school starts. I want to get back to the way things used to be before we started this downhill spiral. I'm sorry, I'm done."

I wasn't sure what I was going to do now that I had nothing, but I knew the one person I could count on for help. As I drove around for a while all I could do was cry. I wasn't sure if I felt sorry for myself or if I needed another fix but I wasn't about to turn around to Dom again. I find myself in the familiar driveway, but there are cars all over the place and now I know it's bad timing. I knock on the door and it opens. Kyler is standing there staring at me and here is going to be the decisive moment. He'll either slam the door in my face or let me in.

"Jesus Christ Brinsley." He says looking at me and I know he's debating what to do.

"Get in here." He growls and I know he's pissed. He pulls me into one of his hugs and I stand there and cry some more. We close in on his guests and they are looking at me but he's not saying anything.

He hands me a mug with coffee in it, but he knows Heroin isn't the same as alcohol it's not going to have the same effect. I take it and he's looking at me as his guests stare as well. No one talks but I can tell they know what's going on. He takes me to the only spare room in the house where he leaves me to sober up. I pass out as soon as I hit the pillow.

Once I'm awake I wonder into the kitchen but he's sitting there with a friend of his. I pay him no mind and sit, he hands me some coffee and looks at me. I know he's still pissed, hell I would be too.
