Evelyn
After my encounter with Enrico at the park , I try and hurry home as quickly as possible. It's a good thing I only live a short 5 minute walk away. Pulling out my phone from my pocket i look down at the time to reveal its 7:55pm. I place it back in my pocket and sigh. Well if I'm gonna be late for dinner I might as well be extra late. I stop abruptly as I can hear the sound of sirens wailing, to be more specific police sirens. I shake my head and carry on walking. If I get nervous whenever I hear police sirens of course I'll look suspicious. I walk a little faster due to my heart beating faster from fear running through me. Why are they getting closer? I turn around and I see the police car cruising down the road. It seems to be the Sherrif driving? His badge glistens in the shrinking sun as his head hangs out of the window , with his eyes prowling as if he's looking for something....someone.
I dart my head around trying to avoid eye contact. I clasp onto my pocket tightly and walk just a little bit faster , just go round this corner and then I'm home. I keep on repeating in my head. The Sherrifs car goes past me , his eyes don't even meet mine once. I let out a sigh of relief. Just as I do i turn the corner and my house is in eyes veiw. Without thinking I start running until I'm at my door.
*Knock knock* I know my parents are going to be mad I'm late for dinner... They always get mad. The front door opens and my mum is scowling at me with a cigarette dangling from her mouth. "Dinner started at seven Evelyn." She says with clear anger in her voice. I gulp. "Sorry I'm late....I had some errands to run after school." I tell her. I walk inside, I can feel her eyes following my every move, I remove my trainers and head to the kitchen. My little sister is there doing colouring on the counter top. I head to the microwave and grab my dinner. I'm always late home so I know that my mum always leaves it here if I'm late. I turn to leave the kitchen and my mum's their staring at me. She takes one more puff of her cigarette and blows out. My lungs fill with nicotine smoke. She puts out the cigarette and throws it in the bin.
"Your father isn't coming home for a few days, he's on a business trip. I'll need you to pick up Angel from school." She says with her arms crossed. " so no more of these 'errands' after school." I huff and puff. " ugh that's so crap, why can't you pick her up?" I argue with her.
" because unlike you I have a life and a job so My work schedule doesn't work with school." My mom snaps back at me causing me to retreat my words to the back of my mind. I can't bite the hand that feeds me so I'm not gonna argue. " jeez fine I'll pick her up." I say annoyed and walk out of the kitchen with my plate of food in my hand. " bring that plate down once you're done." My mom shouts up to me as I'm walking up the stairs towards my room. I don't reply and just go to my room and slam the door.
I put my dinner on my desk. My mom may be annoying and smokes a lot but she can cook a good plate of food. For this spectacular Thursday evening she has made chicken alfrado. I'm not really hungry yet so I'm not gonna eat it yet. Now for the real reason why I was out so late after school....
My names Evelyn spades; I'm sixteen years old , I have sister, mom and dad, I have no pets and I have above average grades. On the outside I look normal, my family looks normal everything about my life seems normal. Except it's really not. I also take drugs...
I put my hand into my pocket and pull out 2 different types of drugs. LSD And Cocaine. I know it's bad... I know it hurts me but the feeling it gives is worth it. I would try and go for more harmless drugs like weed but the smoke...my mom would smell it ,and I really can't be bothered to leave the house just for a smoke. I've been taking drugs since I was fifteen years old. I'm surprised I'm not dead yet... I wouldn't even care if I were to die.
I am aware of what these drugs can do to me... I know that it can have a major impact on my health but still... I always go back to them. LSD is my sunshine during my dark days and Cocaine is....is amazing the rush that you get with it is amazing. I always feel like I'm on cloud nine. Most times I can't sleep tho but it's worth it. I don't just do LSD and crack. I've also tried weed , Kratom and heroine. I'll never do heroine again....that felt awful. My mouth was so dry and I just felt so defeated. I've tried to stop but I just can't and if I get help my mom will find out and.... if she find out I won't even be on this earth anymore.
I stuff my small bag of cocaine into my dresser and take a seat on my bed. Tomorrow at school.... I'll be messed up if I take this. I hold the LSD tablet up to my mouth and hesitate. Why do I do this to myself? Dad...why did you hurt her, she screamed stop ,She kicked back in self defence but you still hurt that poor ,poor person. I grab another tablet , that makes 2. I place them Both on the top of my tongue and chew slowly so the effects kick in faster. I then swallow. A few hours from now....I won't even be on this earth I'll finally be free. I get up and lock my door. It's just a waiting game now... a long slow waiting game.
