"The more I know...the harder it is to leave. Looks like you need me."
He held her under water, she struggled, attempting to come out from the surface.
The bath tub was filled with icy water, splashing everywhere as she thrashed her arms and legs.
His grip was strong, pushing her face deeper under the water to kill her.
Night terrors woke Achilles up, shooting from his bed he ran to the bathroom where he fell to his knees, throwing up into the toilet.
Mahika groaned, rolling over to touch Achilles side of the bed,only to pull her hand back by how wet the sheets were.
Concerned, she sat up slowly, it was around 3am. Tiredly making her way to the bathroom, she leaned against the threshold as Achilles coughed and dry heaved.
"You okay?"
Sighing, he mumbles something under his breath. Flushing the nasty liquid down the toilet, he brushes his teeth and rinses it , before exiting the bathroom, brushing past Mahika.
He sighs when seeing his sweaty sheets. Already frustrated with feeling sick, he rips the sheets off and tosses it to the floor before slipping under the blanket.
Mika slips next to him, cuddling against his side, only to frown when his body starts to shake and sweat.
"Baby, are you okay?"
"Y-yeah...I just need..." it's been hours since he had taken any drugs and already his body was suffering from withdrawals.
In a panic, he reaches over to grab his bottle of Ecstasy pills. Swallowing three dry, he slips back under the covers, wrapping his arms around Mika before drifting to sleep.
By 10am, they had woken up to get ready to go over to Catalina. Achilles wanted to spend the day with the two loves of his life. Mahika and Lianique.
They got dressed silently, partially because Mahika wasn't talking. She was still feeling some type of way about Achilles holding a blade to her neck and beating Zakeel up, but as always she found her way back in his bed.
Achilles had skipped breakfast and instead smoked a blunt laced with Cocaine and took two Ecstasy pills.
He offered Mika but she declined, after seeing the way Achilles was in pain she wanted to stop taking drugs before he body became addicted...Before she became addicted.
He chose to drive his indigo colored Lamborghini, and on the way Mika played Jhené Aiko's Sativa and Deja Vu.
It wasn't long before the pulled up to the white brick house with the neatly trimmed rose bushes and fountain.
Mahika held Achilles' hand as they walked up the stone driveway. She was nervous to meet the women Achilles called his mother, even though this would be the second time.
"You sure you'on want one before we go inside?it'll make you less nervous." Achilles mumbled as they stood in front of the double doors.
