His name is Matt, he has mocha eyes and dirty blonde hair. He's a tall guy, he could easily be mistaken for a 'bad boy.' Matt has a few piercings and a tattoo, he's never showed me the tattoo. One piercing is a lip ring and another is an eyebrow piercing.
I walk home everyday because whenever I take the bus nothing good ever happens. I pull out a cigarette and bring it to my lips, I put my hand In front of the end of the cigarette and light it with my black lighter that fits perfectly in my hand. I then pull out my phone and turn on Sleepwalking by Bring Me The Horizon. After a few minutes I feel someone take my cigarette out from my hand. Matt.
"Hey Matt." I say as I take my earbuds out and put my phone away.
"Hey love, wanna hangout?" He takes the cigarette and takes a few hits.
"Sure, my dad's at work, but my mom is home." He hasn't met my mom yet, and today isn't gonna be the day he does. "I'll have you climb into the bathroom."
"Ooo exciting." He looks at me with a smile showing his perfectly straight teeth and then winks. He knows a little bit about my parents. He's really understanding and doesn't push for me to tell him so much stuff.
"Hey, I need to stop at the gas station to get more cigarettes and we have to stop at Owen's house." Owen is the guy that gets my mom the heroine. My mom has me get her some once a week, being wednesday I do, but I also get some weed for myself. It's not the only time she gets the heroine but it's just wednesday she wants me to get it for her, I'm not sure why. Matt and I fool around as we walk to the gas station. I jumped onto Matt's back, let's say it wasn't an easy task.
"Fuck you" I can just tell he's rolling his eyes by the tone of his voice.
"You know you wanna"
"You bet your fine ass I do."
"I do have a nice ass don't I?" We got to the gas station and we walked in. "2 packs please sir." I kindly asked Joe.
"Hey Emma." He's the one that owns this gas station. He nodded and hands me the cigarettes and I handed him the money. I signaled towards Matt, and Joe nodded and I nodded back.
"Thank you, have a nice day Joe" I gave Joe a kind smile and we walked out.
"So what was that all about?" Matt looks confused as I hand him a pack.
"Well, since you're always asking me to get you cigarettes or just taking one of mine, I just let him know you are trustworthy. So, now whenever you want cigarettes you can get them. Or you can get some for my lazy ass."
"Ahh, thanks love." We've been walking for 10 minutes with no words passed back and forth between us. We finally get to the old beaten down trailer park and I have Matt wait at the swings by the entrance. I keep walking and passing several severely run down trailers and watch several young kids go in and out of them. I frowned to myself thinking about the kids. I finally gets to Owens and i knock, i take a step back and look around. I noticed that his trailer is a dirty white and that the sides are rotting. He opens the door and smiles showing his yellow teeth.
"Hey Emma" Owens opens the door further allowing me to walk in. It's very messy and the first thing i smell when i walk in is cigarettes.
"hey Owen , whats up?" I Say as I take a Seat on an old beaten down chair.
"Nothing much. So what you getting today hun."
"Ah the regular, do you have the Werewolf today?"
"Yup i sure do, it was specially delivered from my buddy. He had to get it from the dispensary. So i have 5 grams for you, i'll only charge you 45 because you're my favorite customer, you and your mom."
"Holy shit! Thank you so much. You're my favorite dealer, you never rip us off and i appreciate that very much." For the innocent ones, werewolf is a type of weed, it's my favorite strain. A gram is about 15-20 dollars depending what you get, Whatever type of heroin he has is what my mom gets. Weed is very easy for him to get, its nothing compared to the other shit.
"Yeah i know, i try, the other assholes i have to deal with don't get these huge deals like you guys." He puts the beautiful buds in a bag and hands it to me "So the regular for your mom?" I nod and he smiles and goes in the back room. I wait, nodding my head to a beat stuck in my head. "Alright here you go," he hands me a small box and i put it in my bag along with the weed "the overall total is 120."
"Alrighty sir, here you go," i handed him six 20's. "have a nice day Owen."
"You to hun. Stay safe, i know how your dad gets along with your mom." I smile and leave.
I walk up to Matt and sit on the swing next to him.
"Hey love, wanna have a cigarette before we go to your house?" Matt asked. I nod and grab 2 cigarettes and hand one to Matt. He takes his lighter and lights it. "I'm sorry i don't talk to you in school. " Matt looks down, ashamed.
"Awe babe its okay."
"No it's not, those assholes bully you everyday and i should be there to stick up for you." I stand up and hug him.
"It's okay. Really, it is. I don't want you to go through what i go through." We finish our cigarettes and we leave.
I take a deep breath before i open the front door of the house. I slowly walk in and i see my mother there. Her dirty blonde hair is all tangled and her clothes look like it's went through hell and back. Her face is full of acne. I miss my old mother.
"Hey, i have your stuff." I put my bag down and grab the box. I reach out to hand it to her. She takes her eyes of the screen and looks at me with empty eyes then the box. She smiles at the box and grabs it when she gets up. The spoon that i hated oh so much was pulled out along with the needle.
"Grab that rope thing." That rope thing was what she put around her arm before inserting the needle.
"Okay"
"Excuse you bitch, its mam to you" that's when i felt the stinging in my face. She slapped me.
"Sorry, mam" I handed it to her and headed to the bathroom. I quickly looked in the mirror and seen the redness. Fuck. I open the window to let Matt in. "Hey Skater boi come on in."
"Oh Emma oh emma let down your hair." he sang.
"Bitch i worked hard on growing this hair. Get you lazy ass up yourself" i laughed. He put his hand over his chest as if he was hurt.
