Why Do You Even Care?

Their first joint

"Never been on a coaster huh? Well good, don't drink too much of that cheap shit. Your stomach will be everywhere. I promise. We're about there." Kelsey shouted over her music, Jarrett just nodded. The quiet one that he is. "I know a way into here without the paying and bullshit at the front. I used to work here long ago, and I know the employee way still."

He nodded again "You think we should be doing pot in a park you used to work at?" he finally chimed in, Kelsey turned down her music "Nope, but who the fuuuuck cares? If I get caught I get arrested and all that jazz, I don't hate handcuffs, I have a pair of them myself in the back so I don't care about that. What happens to you though? You'll just say it's legal where you're from, play the foreign card and they should let you pass. " "You've known me for less than three hours or so and you already care more about me than yourself?" she darted a look to him, "Ears, as I've said you're the only one who's properly listened to me. You didn't go screaming to my mom about my... Sugar, and you've already made me feel less shitty about myself. I've never cared what's happened to me, obviously, you have a clean slate. Something I sorta wish I could ruin but eh." She started.

" You plan on a future when I'm just trying to end my own. I don't want to end yours all cause I'm bored and I wanna get into trouble." she shrugged, "Why should I care about me? I'm just an addict, nothing more nothing less. I live for anything that'll get me remotely off. If it'll take away the pain, I need it." she stopped at a stop light and went into her jacket pocket pulling out a pack of cigarettes "Do you mind if I smoke smoke? As you know I haven't had one in a while." Jarrett nodded, so she pulled out a cigarette and placed it between her lips.

She then placed her foot on the gas, and went slowly forward as she searched for her lighter. She laughed in victory, "I'm trying to cut down I guess. But..." she light the cigarette and took a hit, letting all the smoke pool out and into her now cracked window, "But, I heard this shit can kill you. Here's hoping. To quote a John Green's Alaska "You smoke to enjoy, I smoke to die." She speaks to me I don't know." she took another hit, the ashes flying in the little drift that was in the car. "You know something, you don't even know me and I'm trying to prove something to you. I don't why, but there's something about you that's really getting to me Ears. You're making me want to actually have fun, fun for once, and that's saying something." She smiled, cigarette between her plump lips "I hate you so much already." he chuckled a long hit in her lungs.

For the rest of the car ride, she smoked and went on and on about her old job, and how she got fired. "I screwed my boss. He was pig, only hired the pretty girls, and the gay men. One day  I snuck up on the roof on some building. Higher than Snoop Dogg on a Tuesday, and he came up there checking to see if I was committing suicide or not. Pretty sure he saw me, and my skirt, got a hard on and came up here to fuck." She shrugged, "Our uniforms were always short skirts and crop tops so, I knew it was gonna happen eventually. So, when he noticed I was high, and smoking he blackmailed me. We had sex on that roof top and when some girl whom was like hella cool, came up to tell me my break was over, she saw it all happen and flipped shit on our boss. She tried having me press charges but he told the courts I was high. And he even had my joint to prove it. I was arrested, and in jail for a few months, that was it."

Jarrett's eyes widened, "Woww. I'm.. I'm sorry.. I really don't know what to say.." "Don't say anything at all Ears. We're here. Soo." She put her car in park and turned and smiled," I cut my hair in jail, ended up loving it. So this became my look. A good thing came out of it. After a while I found my theatre and a star was born." She laughed, "There's a bit of my little sob story that's my life. Not like it matters." Kelsey shrugged yet again, "You wanna stay in the warmth of my car, get baked, then sneak in the park? You'll be even more paranoid if we're gonna get caught??" Jarrett laughed, "Yeah. Doesn't sound that bad. First time getting baked, in a car then sneaks into a theme park, and an incredibly sexy chick I met today. Nicee."
Kelsey raised her brow and leaned over Jarrett to get to the glove box , "Huh? 'Incredibly sexy'? Yeahh? You flirtin with a girl who's taken?" She asked grabbing at the handle of the glove box to open it, she grabbed a bag out of it. Said bag had four blunts. "I might be, I don't know yet.." he chocked up, his face turning red. Even his orange freckles grew dull from this blush. Kelsey turned in his lap to look him in the eyes, she smirked, "Red makes those amazing green eyes pop." Her voice a whisper. Her face was inches from his, she licked her lips, "If you were flirting you see, I wouldn't mind since my cockhead of a boyfriend is fucking some cunt again. He had hickeys I didn't give soo." Her eyes darted to his lips, "Then again you and I haven't known each other for a whole day and I'm wanting to climb you.." Jarrett's face somehow went an even darker red.
Kelsey pulled away from him and sat back down into her seat, "I give this feeling a week. Not even." She pulled out a joint, a tool he lighter from earlier and lit it. Jarrett sat there, face still bright red, completely silent. Kelsey took a long drag from the blunt, and handed it over to Jarrett, "It'll it you, and it'll hit you fucking hard later I promise."
He just nodded as he took the joint from her, and took a long drag, and coughed his lungs out. Kelsey died laughing, "I forgot to tell you, this smoke is pretty different than a cigarette. But I'm glad.. That was amazing.. One of my dimple piercings almost fell out." Jarrett smiled out of embarrassment, and took another drag holding in the cough that was scratching his throat. "You're too funny Jarrett. Ears. Whatever." She smiled at him, her eyes drifting to his lips, taking the joint once again a long hard drag she took.
