I sincerely apologize for the suckish crap I gave you in the last chapter.  Not that this is any better.

        "What are you smiling about you idiot." Michael pushes my shoulder, knocking me out of my unknown trance.  I had been texting Koda, and was just about to go pick her up, right after I delivered something.

"Nothing." I mumble, obviously still grinning like an idiot at my iphone screen.

"So, who's this Dakota you've been talking to." Michael says as he passing a blunt between the four of us, reading my mind.

"A girl." I say after taking a drag.  "A younger girl, too." I smile and blow out the thick smoke into the direction of my mates.  "I have a date tonight."

"Is she hot?" Calum asks, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Nice ass?" Michael adds on.

"What are your intentions?  Are you going to get some tonight?" Calum grins.

        "Pretty smile?" Ashton says, chuckling to him self, ignoring Calum.  "You guys, she's obviously not a piece of meat, but a female." He comments, quickly shutting his mouth and turning his attention back to his phone..  Michael and Calum loose it.

"God, Kat's really changed me mates, shoot me now." He throws his head back into the pillow.

"Wait, who the hell is Kat." I sit up straighter, I wasn't really aware that Ashton was seeing anyone.

"A girl.  A younger girl, too." He mimics my last statement and snatches the blunt out of Michael's hand.

"Yeah, this bitch is cheating on me with a girl." Michael glares at Ashton jokingly.  "I thought what we had was real." He said.

"Mashton is real!" Calum shouts and stands up.  To be honest with you, I have no clue what the fuck is really going on right now.

"So is Cake!" Calum adds on, looking me straight in the eye.  "Your ass is mine." He glares at me seductively before he breaks off into hysterics. "I'm not homosexual."

"Well, neither am I!" Ashton defends.

"Yet." Michael laughs. 

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Ashton shoots back, laced with laughter.

"Um- you guys are weird, and I have to go, I have a guy waiting at 5th.  I'll be back.  Actually, I won't be back.  Dakota." I say, gesturing towards the door.

"Be careful, those guys aren't like us.  Hardcore druggies, they are." Michael says, brushing off some lint on his black skinny jeans.

"And please don't die, we haven't seen you in months, man." Ashton adds, nodding.

"Oh come on, they're not going to kill me." I joke, I know I shouldn't, because they very well could kill me on the spot.

"And you might want to break it to your girl before shit gets too serious, that you're a drug dealer you idiot!" Calum slaps my shoulder and pushes me out the door.  "Call us, we'll unlock the door for you."

"Cal- I'm not coming back.  Date."   Realization hit his eyes.

"Oh yeah, right.  Or death." He shrugged and shut the door.

Such great friends I have.

"Assholes." I mutter as I start the engine and drive away.
