Are You Hearing Voices?

P. 14

Jason's eyes bulged open as he spun his head from side to side looking for the culprit. John looked up at him and began to smile. This is exactly what he wanted. He knew that Jason was a pothead and that he couldn't resist smoking weed. He just needed that little push, which is exactly what he gave him. nob

"Come out and face me!" Jason said to the open air.

He wasn't talking to anybody, nobody was there! He was not able to see John even though he was sitting on the bench right next to him. Allah didn't allow Jason to see him. He knew that Jason was adamant on smoking weed and would not leave it. So He wanted to play a trick on him so that Jason could see the bad side of it.

"I know you're there!" He said. John looked at him and continued to smile. Even though he was smiling, it wasn't even funny anymore, now it was just sad. Jason lifted up the blunt to his mouth and took another slow drag. He let the smoke fill up his lungs and his head. He looked at the blunt in his hand and started to shake his head slowly from side to side.

"I'm so alone." He said quietly.

Then Jason sighed and took another slow hit of the blunt. As the smoke filled his lungs his nerves began to cool. No longer was he anxious. The voice that he heard previously, it no longer shook and bothered him. He delved his hand in his pocket and pulled out his Samsung Galaxy Note III and decided to call his wife. He scrolled down his contact list and went to her name and tapped it and called her. The phone rang once, and she picked up.

"Jason..." Her voice came from the other end of the phone,

She was breathing hard and sounded out of breath, as if she just finished running a marathon.

"Bae..." Jason said.

"Yes?" Christy answered.

"I'm... scared... can you hold me?"

There was a slight pause and Christy began to snicker lightly.

"What... What are you?"

"Omg Jason are you high?" She asked.

"NO!" Jason immediately responded.

"I just wanted to call you because I miss you and I love you so very much. What you doing boo?"

Christy gave a short pause and then she sighed lightly.

"Nothing... just doing some squats, what about you?" She asked.

"Just sitting here at the train station bench smoking some weed." Jason said really fast and calmly.

"I thought you said you wasn't smoking?"

"No I didn't."

Christy gave another short pause and then she sighed again.

"Jason... I'm not gonna talk to you. I'm gonna hang up now."

"What! Por Que?" Jason asked.

"Because JASON. You always do this. Whenever you're really high you call me thinking that I'm gonna talk to you while you're not in your right state of mind. I'm not gonna do it anymore, I'm not gonna..."

"Bae can I ask you a question?"

"No." Christy said.

"Okay. Would you rather have sex with a 700 lb fat girl or a 50 lb toothpick skinny girl?" Jason asked.

Christy paused for a few seconds and didn't say nothing.

"Did you really just ask me that? What kinda question is that?" She asked.

"It's a DAMN QUESTION!"

"Jason I'm not..."

"BAE ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Jason bellowed.

Christy began to laugh.

"Neither!" She answered.

"Por Que?"

"Because I'MA GIRL!"

"So... what that mean?"

"It means..."

"But you gotta shirt that says 'I kiss girls too.'" Jason said.4

"Uhh yeah... I kiss girls, but I don't have SEX with them." She said.

"How come?" He asked.

"Bae do you have apple juice?"

"Bye Jason."

"What... Why?"

"I love you." Jason said.

Christy sighed again. "No you don't JASON!"

"If you loved me you would stop smoking that stuff... You need to grow up Jason. It's detrimental to your health. You need to stop being a little boy. I'm sick and tired of your bad habits. If you're gonna get high then just don't be involving me in it. I'm not your damn therapist Jason. I'm not no..."

"What about fruit punch?" Jason cut her off and said.

Christy burst out in laughter again. "You're so stupid boy."

"Why I gotta be stupid bae?" Jason lowered his voice and said.

"Because..."

"Bae I gotta tell you something." Jason said.

"What is it Jason?" She asked.

"Bae... I want you... I'm still... stimulated. I still remember our... 'unfinished encounter' at the hospital."

Christy began to snicker and smiled widely.

"Mhmm... And what do you want me to do about it?" She asked.

"Bae I want your body." Jason said.

"Go somewhere boy!"

"Why you gotta be like that?" Jason asked.

"You think you can have me when you all high like this?" She asked.

"I'm sober! What are you talking about?"

"Bye Jason, I gotta finish working out."

"Idk why you be working out anyway, it ain't like you gon' lose all that FAT on your stomach. And who you trying look cute for anyways?" Jason asked.

Christy erupted in laughter. "I am not fat!"

"And my damn self." She added.

"It ain't like I gotta man."

"Oh so you not married?" Jason asked.

"Nope!" She said.

"Bae I gotta tell you something."

"Omg Jason... ENOUGH PLEASE!"

"Bae noo, I'm foreal this time, it's really important."

Christy sighed. "What is it Jason?"

"Bae please don't leave okay."

"Why you don't want me to leave?"

"Bae because... I'm pregnant." Jason said.
