SIDE STAGE TECH

Chapter 5

Mike got the part of Saliari in Amadeus. That means I'll be seeing him almost all the time since I had a lot of the same classes as him. I was walking back to our dorm after supper when I got a call for an emergency meeting at the drama room. I sighed and jogged to the set of the play. We ended up practicing the whole play and by the end of it, it was already 11 o'clock at night. I practically dragged myself back to the dorm that night. I was exhausted. Mike had got there before me. "Hello." I mumbled, as I flopped down on my bed. "Shut up." Mike retorted. I sighed and rolled over, not bothering to change or anything. I felt sleep beginning to take me over but suddenly Mike's phone rang. Loudly. My eyes snapped open. There was no way I was getting back to sleep so lay awake. "Vic, what's wrong?" Mike asked worriedly. I couldn't Vic's reply though. "Vic, it's alright. Relapse is part of recovery, okay?" Mike spoke in a soft loving voice. "Hey hey don't cry." He said in a scared tone.
Pause.
"No I'm not mad."
Another pause. I felt creepy listening to his conversation. Then suddenly;
"Victor put the pills down." He said, standing up, fear evident on his face. "Please, Vic. This isn't the answer okay. You're going to get better. I'm coming to visit you in December, remember? You wouldn't want to miss that." He said, running a hand through his hair.
"Thank you." He said softly, a few minutes later. "Yeah. Okay. Bye. Be strong Vic, you'll be fine...I love you too." He whispered the last part before hanging up and turning around. I quickly shut my eyes. "You heard that didn't you." He said, annoyed. I opened my eyes. "Yeah." I whispered.
"Do you know what's going on with Vic?" He asked. I nodded.
"Jaime told you didn't he." Mike growled. I nodded again. "Don't fucking tell anyone. I don't want someone to go find him and hurt him or something." He said, becoming protective. I nodded fearfully. Mike didn't way a word after that, he just got changed and went right to bed. I closed my eyes and soon slipped into a deep sleep.

The next morning it was Saturday. After lunch I had to go to the drama room so I couldn't do homework then. Before Mike was awake I quietly slipped out of the dorm room, grabbed some breakfast from the caf, and went to Jaime's room to study with him. Thankfully Mike didn't show up the whole time. "I got to go to the drama room, see you later." I told jaime after lunch. "Okay bye dude!" He said, stuffing his last taco into his mouth. I smiled and basically ran to the drama room not wanting to be late. Avoiding people at all costs I sat down at the tech table on the side stage. I began practicing the lights to kill time while we waited for everyone. That's when I heard him. "Yeah my roommate is fucking annoying dude. I wish I could switch rooms but I can't. I quickly got up, made an excuse to the drama teacher, and ran back to my dorm, trying to stifle my tears.
