Scott's Pill

Out And About

Elena got over what I said and let us take her and Todd to dinner.

She holds grudges toward me quite a bit but for now, we just enjoy the moment.

"So mom, do you like your salad?" Scott asked Elena as she stuffs her face. She nods. I smile. Everybody's happy.

I get a text in the middle of dinner and it's my best-friend Ale. I read the text, "I got us a fucking bad ass hook up!!!" I look up, I see everyone doing as they were before; stuffing their face. I reply, "When do you want to meet up??"

"10? 11?"

I agree. 'Fuck,' I think to myself. 'Its already 9:30pm'

I wait patiently, done with my food, on everybody else. Elena is smiling and I can't help but smile back. Everything is good at the moment and I hope I stays this way.

I hint to Scott that we have to get going and we drive his dad and mother back to their place. We sit and chat for a few minutes and leave.

"Ale texted me." I say.

"What did she get?"

"I'm not sure," I say. "All she said was she got a bad ass hook up."

"Oh okay cool. I wonder what it is"

"Probably acid," I say sitting back in my seat.

Scott turns on the radio and soon enough we get to Ale's apartment. Scott parks, "Want me to go in?"

"I will baby." I get out and knock on her door.

Same choppy short black hair, brown eyes, thin shape, and weed scent to her.

I walk in and she has little baggies of a few pills.

I ask, "Do you mind if I just pay and leave? Scott has work in the morning. We'll invite you over whenever, if that's fine."

I hand her the $70 and leave.
