Chapter 24: Maybe like 2... or 5

Milo

***

I lay in the back seat of the car while Dash drove and Thalia sat in the front. We were coming back to my apartment after going to the hospital and the only thing I could focus on was how dry my mouth seemed to be. Thalia was giggling uncontrollably and I couldn't help but chuckle a little at the sight while Dash just furrowed his eyebrows and kept looking back at me through the mirror. 

 When we got back to my apartment I chugged a water bottle and fell back on the couch and zoned out for what feels like five minutes but turned out to be for an hour. Thalia was still giggling and pacing the room.

I hear a knock on the door and Leo comes in with a few boxes of pizza.

"Aw yeah man! Pizza!" I shout as I jump up from the couch. 

"Yeah you told me to bring you ten boxes." He says looking confused.

"I'm so smart. Hand over one of them!"

"PIZZA!" Thalia screams and grabs the rest of the boxes in Leo's hands and hobbles over to the table with nine boxes. 

Leo looks over at Dash with a huge, childlike smile on his face. "Why's Milo high?"

"That's it! They're high!" Dash says with a snap, like he just figured out the biggest problem in the world. 

"Well yeah. Did Milo space out for an hour?"

"Yeah... how'd you know?"

"That's what he does when he's high."

"You've gotten high before." I hear Thalia ask astonished through all the pizza in her mouth and Leo starts laughing and throws himself into one of the chairs.

"C'mon Thalia. They're rich kids from the suburbs." Dash says while crossing his arms.

"We aren't rich." Leo and I say in unison and Thalia starts laughing.

"Have you two seen your houses? I could probably live in them and you two wouldn't even know. wait a second...I'm high?" she asks looking at her hands like they're foreign objects. As if they held any of the answers to her questions. 

"Thalia... did you eat anything in the chemo room when you were with Milo?"

"Well he ate a brownie or two... and I ate..." she starts counting on her fingers adorably. "I wanna say five."

"Well there you go idiot. You're in a room with a bunch of older women with cancer, anything they bring in is going to have weed in it."

Janell and January walk in with Chinese food. "Aw yeah, Chinese food!"

"Well yeah. Thalia told us to get some on our way here."

"Thalia's high, but she just figured it out." we turn to her and see she's lying on the table with her head hanging upside down, trying to eat a slice of pizza without it slipping to the ground. we all cant help but laugh at her.

"Aw she's such an innocent baby." Janell says walking over to her and pinching her cheeks.

After an excessive amount of the group laughing at us, for some reason I wasn't sure about, I noticed that Thalia had this weird look in her eyes when I caught her gaze. 

"I have an announcement!" Thalia screams and jumps on top of the table. She wobbles a little and I run over to grab her by her waist.

"No no. I wanna stand on the table. hold my ankles minion." she waves my hands away and I grab her ankles to keep her in place. "Actually turn around and let me hold your shoulders." Indecisive much?
