Daniel's P.O.V
I bent over the sink as the hot water ran. I hissed as I balled my hand into a fist, carefully, I picked at a shard of glass allotted in my hand. Slowly, I slid one out of the hole it made deep in my skin. God, this hurts. I dropped the small fragment of glass into the sink. One down, 33 fucking left to go.
There was a small tap on the door. "Yeah. " I answered.
"Daniel, are you okay?"
"Where are the Kit Kats?"
"Don't you think you should clean that up first? Stop the bleeding and try to make it hurt less,"
"That's why they invented Kit Kats. "
"Sit on the toilet seat, please?" I sighed heavily and sat down. She opened the box and pulled out a small pair of tweezers.
"This might hurt a little. " I cocked an eyebrow at her.
"I wouldn't feel a thing if you gave me some Special K. "
"Daniel," She sighed. "Stop being an ass. "
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know how. Teach me?"
She plucked another shard of glass from my hand with force. I hissed and snatched my hand from her.
"Gimme. " she took my hand in hers again. "I don't like when you guys fight. You're too old for that now, Daniel. "
"Hes been acting weird lately, like, as if I did something wrong. I can't find out what's bugging him because he won't tell me. Ow! "
"Sorry, sorry. " she pouted. She tucked her hair behind her ear and put the tweezers down. She picked up a wet paper towel and dabbed it on my open wounds.
"Did you do something to make him mad? "
"No! Nothing, but he keeps acting like a little bitch."
She shook her head and wiped my hand clean. She reached for the plaster and wrapped it around my wrist and knuckles.
"All done." she took my hand and kissed my knuckles.
I chuckled as I got up."You are so weird."
"But you love it." She walked to the purse parked ony bed. Pulling out a small container, she twisted the cap off. She waved the container in front of my face. I attempted to take it from her but she quickly switched the container to the other hand. "Uh-uh-uhh," she clicked her tongue. "For later. "
"How late is later? "
"Later. "
"What form is it in?"
"Your favorite...in a dose, of course. "
She twisted the cap back on and shook her head. "I don't like when you take these... you know how strong they are and I don't want what happened that one time to happen again, Daniel."
"Why are you always complaining?"
"I'm not. I'm just telling you how I feel when you take these. "
"I'm fine, it just helps. But, um, thanks for cleaning this up," I took the container from her. "Appreciate it."
She pouted and crossed her arms.
"What? "
She kept quiet and stared at me.
"What?" I dragged the word.
She bit the inside of her cheek. "Are you getting bad again?"
I rolled my eyes and turned for the door. "I'm not, but you're starting to annoy me. "
"I just want what's best for you, Daniel. "
"Thanks, mum. But I got this," I reached for the door handle. "By the way, you're gaining weight. Your thighs are meatier than usual. " I winked, clicked my tongue and left the room.
"Daniel, that's not funny. I don't need you to go through that phase again. You did too much drugs and the business sunk, remember? "
"I don't need you to remind me, thank you."
"Daniel," Her voice cracked and she let out an exasperated sigh. I turned to her. Her small hands covered her face and she sat at the top of the stairs. "I'm just trying to help you, but you're starting to scare me."
"Jesus..." I walked back up the stairs and sat next to her. "Crystal?" I shook her lightly as she sobbed. "It's okay, don't cry. Please? C'mon, buddy. Pal, Princess. "
"You never listen, Daniel. You never listen. I'm not telling you not to do it, but watch yourself. And-and I just want to keep you safe and together, but you ignore me."
"I will, I will." I threw my arms around her and pulled her into me. She smelled of lavender soap and something else, it smelled really good. "You smell really good. "
She sobbed a bit louder, but I could tell she was laughing a little.
"I hate you, asshole."
"I love you, too, you crazy bitch."
I held her for a while longer. I miss this. I sighed into her hair. "I'll stop taking them. " Her head shot up quickly.
"Really?" she beamed. My eyebrows furrowed.
"Is this what you were waiting to hear this whole time? "
She wiped her tears and sniffled."Yeah. Thank you, baby." Her lips pressed to my cheek in a quick kiss.
"I hate when you do this."
"You'll get over it."
"Only for a short while , I'll start again though."
"Im gonna go get changed." she hollered as she ran down the hall to my room.
I looked over the container and opened it. The tablets were small and white. Very simple looking. And it had no type of smell.
This time only and no more after that. No more.
I put a tablet into the palm of my hand and looked it over. Ketamine will be the end of me. I tilt my head back as it barely touches my tongue and goes down my throat.
I know that was so long of a wait, but I had to be a host for the past couple of weeks so I had no free time. Even if we went nowhere, they took up most of my time filling it up with laughter so....
But this chapter I hope you guys were able to kinds see what I mean when I say he's a really good guy, and he has been struggling with the fact that he likes taking Ketamine, even though the people around him hate when he does, especially Crystal. Yet, he took one after he said he wouldn't.
