Misguided

Family Leads To Drugs

He walked in and slammed the front door. Before he could walk up the door his mom walked his way.

"Andrew what the fuck's your problem?"

"Now you wanna care mom? Fuck you!"

"Don't talk to me like that!"

"What are you gonna do? Get Lucas on me? I'm not scared of that drunk!"

"You're just like your father!"

He got in his mom's face "I'm nothing like that fucker and I'm nothing like you, one more year and all you bastards are out of my life"

He turned around and went upstairs. He went into his room slamming the door and turning on his radio, full volume like usual.

"Sparks over your carpet while I chase you through the darkness. Somebody's supposed to fall in love, but nobody even calls."

He reached into his desk, he pulled out a zipped up bag, a razor blade, and a dollar bill. Takes out a white lump from the bag and places it on his desk. With his razor he chops up the lump into fine powder, he organized the powder into five thin lines about two and a half inches long. He grabbed the dollar bill and quickly sniffed up three lines. Tilting his head back making sure he takes in all of the drug. His eyes fell on a picture frame on his desk, the picture was of him, Lexi, and Josh at an amusement park. His eyes then trailed to the blade next to his last two lines. He picked it up, tears running down his cheeks, he places the blade on his left wrist and puts pressure till he feels it in his skin, he then slid it across his wrist. This created a trail of blood to drip down his forearm. He continued this process six more times "seven was her lucky number" he let out a fake chuckle. Placing the blade back down and picking up the dollar bill he snorted the last two lines, got up and threw himself on his bed. Blood trickled off his arm and onto his sheets.

He began to hallucinate.

"Lexi is that really you?"

"Hey Andrew"

"I missed you, I missed us. All three of us"

She sat down next to him.

"I miss it all baby, I do"

"I'm sorry.."

He laid his head on her shoulder and started to cry.

"For what?"

"Ashley.. I slept with-"

"Shhhh, I know what you did."

"Aren't you mad?"

"I can't be mad at you for something little like that"

"Lexi.."

"Yes Andrew?"

"Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

"You know.. Kill yourself. Why? You said everything got better."

"I gotta go Andrew, you need some rest"

"Please don't go"

"I'll visit again soon"

She got up and made her way to the door.

"Lexi!"

"What is it?"

"I love you"

"I love you too Andrew.. Bye baby"

Everything went black.
