Hooked

Pt. 7 (POV Kane)

7 years later

I was skipping school. As always. I just couldn't be bothered. So instead, I went to the old harbor, where my friends were already waiting for me. "Yo bro I thought you'd never show up," Levi said while rolling a joint and then handing it to me "Here you go, man." I muttered "Thanks" and sat down on the floor. We always hung out in an abandoned building. It was kind of a ruin and dirty, but it still had a place in my heart because Aiden and I-... Aiden. Why did I think about him so much? I hadn't seen him for a few years and our friendship was ruined by that stupid fight. I leaned forward and propped my elbows on my knees. My dyed black hair fell onto my face.  I brought the blunt up to my lips and breathed the smoke of sweet release in. That stuff was the only thing that could calm me down. After a few puffs I immediately felt better and looked up at my friends. Levi and Dean were fighting as always and Joaquin was watching me. He was a few years older than me and his dark skin was covered in tattoos. His thick lips curled up in a playful smirk when our eyes met "So... How's school going?". I huffed and dropped my gaze back to the floor. "I've been to two classes. They haven't thrown me out yet just because my dad's loaded. All the people there are so fucking fake." "And we aren't?" I looked up at him and shook my head. "How'd you know?" I thought about his question for a few seconds and answered "Well... You guys are always honest. And you were the only one's that were there for me when I went through all of the shit in my life. " I looked up, only to see Levi and Dean had calmed down and were both looking at me. "Thanks guys!" They smiled at me. I hate being a burden to everyone. I took a swig of Vodka to black out the pain.
