Chapter 5

|| I'm Not The Only One - Sam Smith ||

Alicia sat opposite the new boy and watched him, intrigued for his reasons of being at the rehab.

He picked at his sandwich and pulled it apart pinch by pinch. He left if on a tray as he stood up and walked away. Alicia watched as he left the cafeteria, confused by his actions.

She watched as he walked around the corner to the suicidal block, the same block she was transferred to.

She stood up holding her breakfast bar and left the rest of her untouched food on her table. Linda looked at her and nodded, which Alicia took as a yes.

Alicia followed the new boy around the corner and him walk into the room next to hers, which she had believed to be empty all this time. He shut the door behind him just as Alicia made her way downstairs.

Her mouth remained shut as she realised he had dropped a packet of pulls. She picked then up and examined them. 500g Zoloft (Sertraline).

She was prescribed these herself so she knew what the were for. They are used to try and cure severe depression, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and panic. These are the side effects she suffered with from the cocaine, which is the reason for her taking Zoloft.

She inhaled and knocked on his door, taking her lip between her teeth, a nervous habit she had developed over the years. After no reply from the first set of knocks, she tried again and he the shuffle of feet behind the door.

He opened the door an inch and peeked at Alicia through the gap. Her saw her holding the sheet of pills and went red from embarrassment.

"Excuse me, I believe you dropped these..." She held out her arm and looked down at the floor as the new boy removed them from her hand. He looked down.

"T-thank you. I-I'm Ashton.." Ashton stuttered as he believed he was taking a huge step. He came here to get better, and that's what he was trying to do.

"Hi Ashton, I'm Alicia." She stuck out her hand, which Ashton denied, and introduced herself.

"I'm going to go now..." With that Ashton shut the door and again she heard the shuffle of feet.

"Bye." Alicia's heart was pounding. This was the first contact with another patient she has had in the month she has been at the rehab.

She walked into her room next door and was greeted by more medication on a tray by the door. A bottle of water was also on the tray with a small note attached.

"Sorry I can't be here. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Much love Linda." Alicia looked up at the clock and saw that it read 5:45pm. She should be asleep by now.

She laid on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. Her mind wondering to Ashton and the Zoloft. What was his reason?
