ACT iii

chapter fifteen; colors

kala drakos was pronounced dead on scene while an old red mustang drove off in the distance.

everyone knew that venus had made such a dramatic departure. they banished her from supposedly killing the boarder patrol officer and possibly kala.

i don't believe that she killed her own best friend in cold blood. she couldn't of, there was no reason, hell kala was helping her escape it wouldn't make sense.

the officer though. he was shot right between the eyes. he was apart of the solano house. they believe that kala was trying to convince her to stay, but she ended killing the two for her escape.

titus. well, titus has been mourning. they had a fling before, and they had strong feelings for each other. i couldn't imagine my special other being murdered. i wanted to be there for him, but when titus mourned, he did it by himself.

our group has been distant. cyrus has began to apply for colleges out of state, possibly out of country also. sean's been exploring and exporting certain things while trey's been following him, probably be his co-worker.

i felt distanced from everyone. venus hasn't called yet, and i'm not sure if she will. i don't know where the fuck titus has sauntered off to. cyrus is trying to be the next einstein or something, and i'm sure sean is aspiring to be the next pablo escobar.

i stopped going to church. my parents are infuriated by this decision, but it doesn't matter. they think somethings up, but i don't think they care. i mean, they only want to know if i will ever get back with annalise.

i haven't seen annalise. she's been gone, and i'm glad for that.

i was over in the room where we'd all smoke. the room faintly smelled of weed from the last time i was here. i lit a joint, going through the drawers until i saw a small packet that had a flat square piece of paper.

it was obviously acid. sean had left a lot of stuff, including some cocaine, and i could see a rubber band, a small syringe, a spoon, and some other substances.

i wasn't planning on doing heroin as i took out the small piece of paper and placing it on my tongue.

originally, i didn't feel anything, but whenever i thought, i'd go in depth. i could hear venus' voice from the first night we met. she had lolita in her hands. lo-li-ta. the word easily rolls off the tongue.

venus loved to read. she had romeo and juliet with her once, i think she took it with her. we'd agree that it was a cliché, but that it was a good read.

something that was interesting about acid was the colors. they were brighter and it almost felt as though they had emotions to them. it was like my senses were somehow heightened.

i didn't feel as though i needed anyone. i could be on my own. i just had to wire cash into my account and then i can leave. i don't need anyone in this town.

••

the drugs. they make you see everything different. originally, i just wanted to some of the basic stuff, but then i was intro to heroin.
