Here Without You.

07. Ice Box.

            Cam watched Nat leave from Kim window in her bedroom. She couldn’t believe this. It all happened to quickly. One minutes she was happy and the next when she saw him, her world came crushing.

            She turned away from the window when he was out of sight. She went over to the bed and laid down on it on her stomach. She grabbed Kim pillow and hugged it. She suddenly felt depressed.

            She heard Kim door opened and her best friend came in. She gave Cam a small smile and walked over to the bed. She went behind her and held her. Cam knew Kim thought she needed comfort and really, she did. Kim was just like her sister and they knew when each other was hurt, they needed each other.

            Nat ran his fingers threw his hair for the five thousandth time as he paced around in Dan room. He was already sweating and impatient, what else does he need? He needs coke right now and if he doesn’t have it soon, he’ll end up watching the wall.

            The door finally opened and Dan came in with a guy he didn’t know. He looked like he lived on the street, though.

            “Nat, you remember Jay.”, Dan said.

            Nat was about to shake his head and say ‘no, just gave me what I need’ until he looked at him again. That couldn’t be Jay. Jay was a rich preppy boy from the town next to Storm who he hanged out with a few times.

            This guy looks like a bum.

            “What?”, Nat questioned. “No offence dude, but you look like shit.”,

            He shrugged and pushed his long hair behind his ears, “You don’t look so hot either. I hear you use to be super tan. You look a little pale now.”, he said, smirking.

            Nat rolled his eyes, “Whatever. You have what I want?”,

            He reached into his pocket and out a really small bag, but it had white powered in it. Nat reached out to take it, but Jay snatched it away. “This is not Cocaine, it’s Heroin.”,

            “Oh.”, Nat said. “So…like the needle drug?”,

            Jay nodded, “Yeah. I mean, unless your still a pussy about needles.”, he chuckled.

            Nat punched his arm and smacked his teeth, “Just set it up, I’m dying right here.”,

            Jay just chuckled more and sat down on the Dan’s bed, using the table stand next to the bed.

            Nat knew he shouldn’t do this anymore, but he couldn’t help it. He needed it. He wanted it. He wanted to feel relax, not feel like he’s in pain. His whole body was hurting and aching, like sleeping on a worn out couch.

            He needed to feel relax. He needed to feel relax.

            Jay filled the needle with the liquid to how much it should be and placed it down on the table and turned to both Dan and Nat, “This stuff is the feel shit. I mean, Cocaine is heavy shit to, but they’re two different drugs. You seriously want to look like me?”, he asked.

            Nat was barley paying attention, “Just inject it.”, he said.

            Jay just shrugged and asked Dan for a belt. He wrapped it around Nat arm tightly and waited till he saw a vein pop up. When jay injected it in his skin, his hand made a fist from the stinging pain.
