Just get him out of your head Cookie, I thought to myself as I stuffed another handful of pills into my mouth. After waiting a minute for the usual effects to kick in, nothing happened. My head actually thumped even worse than before. These bitches ain't working! I grabbed the orange bottle and threw it, scattering the multi-colored pills all over the bathroom floor.

You know it's not that easy,my conscience battled against me. We've never been able to resist his temptation.
The sound of my phone ringing brought me out of my twisted thoughts. A heavy sigh left my lips when I saw the name flashing across the screen.
Lucious....
~Phone Conversation~
Cookie: h-hello?
Lucious: hey cooks you okay?
Cookie: um, yeah-yeah I'm fine just a little tired that's all
Lucious: you're tired at 8 in the morning
Cookie: I didn't get much sleep last night
Lucious: well I just called to remind you that we have a meeting in an hour
Cookie: (mentally cursing to herself) I'll be there soon
~End of Conversation~
I hung up. I didn't feel good at all. The pills weren't working and I felt weak like everything was in slow motion. But me being the hard working person I am, that didn't stop me from grabbing a quick shower, throwing on some clothes, and taking an uber down to Empire.

Walking soon became a problem while coming through the glass doors of the conference room. My knees might buckle any minute now. I plopped down at my end of the table, patiently waiting for the meeting to start so I can go home.
Throughout the entire meeting, I caught him every now and then sending me worried glances. I don't know why since he already has a fiance to worry about. Speaking of which I haven't seen that debutant in a minute. Suddenly my stomach started doing flips.
"Excuse me," I said quickly rushing out towards the bathroom. Jamal and Hakeem were talking by the elevators when they saw me. Their faces immediately filled with worry. I don't know why but Mal came over and grabbed my hand.
"Ma what's wrong? Are you okay?"
I shook my head, unable to hold it in anymore. All of the contents in my stomach poured out of me and onto the floor. Luckily none got on either of them. People that were walking by stopped. The last thing I saw was Lu rushing towards me then everything went black.
