Fixing Lexi

Chapter 7

"Are you sure you want to do this? It's dangerous and I don't want the blame if something happens to you dude." We were at Peters house again and of course his brother was out so he invited all of his friends around. Obviously I don't know any of the people, they all look so much older compared to me. The girls are like Amy, they look so much older than they probably are, they are tanned, curved and everything a guy could ask for.

Anyway, this guy I believe his names Dylan or something? I'm not sure I'v already been drinking and I'm Spinning around in circles with Amy. He has a needle In his hand, he's warning Peter about the consequences and side effects of meth, which I'm guessing is in the needle.

"How did you even manage to get meth anyway? isn't it like extremely expensive and hard to get?" I stop dancing and walk over to Peter and his friend. Peter smiles at my curiosity and welcomes me to come sit next to him, putting his hand on knee. By this time the needle is in his skin and it hits him right away, as if it just stopped his brain from working. His grip on my knee loosens as if his soul is floating away.

"Why are you here anyway? you look a lot younger." the guy says whilst putting more shit in the needle.

"Well I'm not, and I'm here with Peter and Amy." I roll my eyes. He chuckles and all his friends around him join in with the laughter.

"So your just a tag along? Thought so. You don't look like your into this kind of stuff." his tone is smug and I want to slap him across the face.

"And you're probably still a virgin but am I interested in your business?" I defend myself.

His friends all burst in to laughter and smile smugly, his face goes red and I can tell how angry he is. 

"let me inject you. That is if your not to scared of course." I look around at all of them who are waiting for me to say no and laugh at me.

"Fine." I simply say. I really don't care if they inject me. I honestly couldn't care less. My life is fucked up anyway, needles don't bother me and I'v done shit like this before. He raises his eyebrows and I give him the bitchiest smile I think he will ever receive.

I look round at Peter who is making his way up the stairs, when I feel the needle enter my skin and everything goes numb.

"Shit." I cuss and everyone laughs, but it's like it's far away in another planet and I have immense hearing skills.

"My turn." Amy shouts.

"Amy." I scream so that she can hear me. She just laughs and pushes me. How is it even possible for someone to push me when they are far away. And then I remember that I know where Peter is, and he's in walking distance away from me. I start to walk and feel like I'm floating upwards, and that I'm going to get stuck to the ceiling. I can hear Peter singing from the bottom of the stairs so I walk up and into the room that I hear him in.

"Oh Hey beautiful little Lexi Evans." he walks over to me and cups my face in his hands.

"I'm not little." I protest and the floor feels like it's tilting.

"You are little." he says as if he is confused.

"I have to lie down." I float over to Peters bed and crash on it, closing my eyes. I open them immediately and Peter is right in front of me staring at me.

"Peter!" I smack him with a pillow.

"It felt like you were a monster, or a demon, and you were using your telepathic mind to tell me to open my eyes because you were waiting for me. And then I got scared because I didn't know if I should be one of those girls in the movies that do all the wrong things and end up getting killed, or be the smart person that ignores the shit." I sing the story of my thoughts to him, I don't know what tune, I probably just sounded like a broken record. He bursts into hysterical laugher.

"Are you okay?" he says In between breaths and I become confused.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be." He shakes his head and places his warm hands on either side of my waist, pulling me across to sit on his lap.

"You are so different," he stares at me and we have this intense staring competition.

"I'm Lexi?" I replied confused and he just chuckles.

"I love you Lexi," he smiles and I smile back.

"I love you too Peter." I reply sort of slurred.

He pulls me down so that our faces are only inches away from each other, and then all movie cliche like, we kiss. The kiss lasts for a long time, he runs his tongue across my bottom lip and bites it. I push my hands through his hair and his hands slip down to my waist, hunching my top of slightly so that his cold hands could touch my skin. I suppose you could say it was heated and it was the first proper kiss I have had with Peter. Then I removed myself from him.

"I should probably go home," I groan.

"In this state? you'll be grounded straight away. I know that's what your mum and dad threaten you with anyway."

"Yeah, not that I pay attention. it's either the 'we won't let you out of this house' or 'we'll send you to boarding school' shit but does it ever happen? no. They can't afford to loose another daughter." I laugh insensitively. Peter ignores that comment.

"They must think you are impossible," he turns round to face me.

"I am impossible." I stay facing the ceiling.

"Yeah, a little." he smiles and I chuckle.

"If I miss school tomorrow, they might consider throwing me out." I change the subject.

"And the funny thing is that when they said it, it didn't effect me at all, I just shrugged my shoulders." I state and from what I can see from the corner of my eye he just nods.

"Can we do this again tomorrow?"

"Do what again tomorrow?" I ask finally turning around to look at him.

"Meth." he laughs and I join In. I'm about to agree when I remember that Michael is coming to tutor me, and i have no choice In the matter.

"We could be dead by then." I blankly state and turn around, closing my eyes, Peter snakes his arm round my waist and we both fall asleep.
