163: The One With The Drug Test

CHERYL POV:

I open the door to Toni. "Hey." I look at her confused on why she's here. "What- what are you doing here?" I ask quietly. "You're gonna hate me." She says quietly. "What?" I ask concerned. "My mom is doing a drug test on me and I'm not clean." She confesses. "I thought you were." I say quietly. "I was for 120 days." I take a deep breath. "I'm not peeing into a Tylenol bottle for you." I say pissed. "My mom is gonna kill me." She whispers. "You were the one that was supposed to say sober, not me." She looks down. "What do I do? I have no one else." She ask. "You fail the drug test Toni, you deal with the consequences and it's probably for the best anyway!" I say slightly pissed. "I can't." She whispers. "Yeah you can. People slip up and I know for you it's probably the millionth time, and your mom will be pissed and you might not be able to leave the house for the rest of your life but you know that if you lie it's only gonna get worse and you're gonna regret it." She nods. "I'll drive you home." I say grabbing my keys. "I brought my bike." She says quietly. "I have a bike rack we can put it on." I tell her. We go to my car and go to her house. "I can't." She says quietly. "Toni. You can." I whisper. She sighs. "I don't want to die." She whispers. "You're gonna die if you keep doing drugs!" I say pissed. She takes a deep breath. "I just need a minute." She whispers. We sit there for a minute. "You ready?" I ask. She nods. We get out and Toni starts to run away. I chase after her and tackle her to the ground. "Toni. You have to do this." I say helping her up. I grab her arm so she doesn't try to run away. "Come on."

TONI POV:

"I thought you were sober." Mom says quietly. "I was, and than I wasn't." I say quietly. "I tried mom, I really did." She nods. "I know." She whispers. "What happened?" She ask quietly. "I got stressed and I couldn't get to a meeting and I tried calling you or someone but I really don't want to be such a burden. I panicked and called my dealer and I know you took him off my phone but I know his number by heart." I explain. "You relapsing isn't a burden." She says quietly. "Toni you know what no matter what the circumstances are I will answer and if I don't I get back to you as fast as possible." She tells me. "How much trouble am I in?" I ask quietly. "I don't know what to with you anymore." She whispers. "I tried grounded you and you didn't change. I did an intervention and you never changed. I sent you to rehab and you tried but slipped." I look at her and take a deep breath. "I don't know what to do anymore." She whispers. "Can I go sleep off my high?" I ask quietly. She nods. "We'll talk about this in the morning." I get up and go into my room. I rip off my pants, shirt and bra. I go to my drawer and grab a pair of shorts.

I open my window. "How are you doing?" Cheryl ask quietly. "I'm better. I feel like shit and you probably shouldn't be here." I whisper. "Your mom already saw me." I look at her confused. "Than why are you at my window?" I ask quietly. "Because I like it." I smile. "Cheryl, I really don't know what to do anymore." She nods. "You can call me anytime you think you're gonna relapse." She whispers before pulling me into a kiss. "Why do you always manage to taste like Juicy Fruit?" She ask quietly. "It's the only gum I like." She smiles a little. "You going to school tomorrow?" She ask. "I don't know yet. If I do I'll text you." She nods. "You should." She whispers. "This is the first time you've gotten out of bed today isn't it?" I nod. "Do you want to go out to do something and get your mind off of everything?" She ask quietly. "I really want to sleep everything off." She nods. "Can I at least stay with you?" I nod. I help her into my room. "Your mom isn't gonna kill you?" She ask. "I've done worse." I say as we go ever to my bed. We lie there for a minute in silence. Well, until Cheryl breaks it. "What are we?" She ask quietly. "What do you mean?" I ask quietly. "Our relationship." I take a deep breath. "Well, I really like you." I whisper. "I want to be with you and you've helped me a lot. Not saying that's the only reason I'm with you and stuff and I don't want to rely on you." She nods. "And you obviously can't rely on me." I say lying on my back. "I don't know how you rely on me either so I guess it's fine." She whispers. I look at her. "Can we not rely on each other together?" I ask quietly. She nods. I smile. Does that mean we can like kiss, like more normally and like, whenever I want?" She ask. "Yeah." I nod. "We kissed though." I whisper. "Yeah, but it was like us kissing when I drop you off and stuff." I smile a little. She pulls me into a kiss. "You should get some rest." She whispers. I nod. "I'm sorry about yesterday, I should have never put you in the position." She shrugs. "You've done worse." I smile. "I know for you it will be kinda boring but do you want to go to Betty's birthday on Friday?" She ask quietly. "Yeah, but I have to be home by 12." Cheryl nods. "I know the deal."

I sit up from my bed. "What time is it?" I ask quietly. Cheryl looks at me. "Around 6ish." I look outside. "At night Toni." I nod. "Have I been asleep?" I ask quietly. "Yeah you when to sleep right before I left for school this morning." I sigh. "I'm sorry if I kept you up last night, I just got sick." She nods. "It was a good excuse to get out of class." I smile a little. "How are you feeling?" I shrug. "Better." I whisper lying back down. "You hungry? You haven't tried eating since 3." I shake my head. "I never said I didn't feel like throwing up again." She nods. "Why are you here than?" I ask. "My mom is drinking again." I take a deep breath. "This is why you shouldn't be with me." She looks at me confused. "You already see what addiction does to someone, you don't need to be with someone like me." She shakes her head. "You're different, when you go off on a binge you're at least pretty out of it! When my mother drinks, I can't even breathe without her criticism, her, abusiveness! You sit there and go numb for a few hours and than throw everything up." She explains. I nod.

"Toni, where are you going?" Veronica ask as I walk out of the party. "I- I can't be here. It's too much." I explain. "You should at least wait for Cheryl." She says. I shake my head. "I can't." I whisper. "I need a ride home though." She nods. "I'm drunk but if you drop me off at home I will let you take my car since we literally across the street from each other you can walk a couple of feet to your house." She explains. She hands me her keys. "I got my license taken away." I say quietly. "Well, be careful and don't do anything that will piss of a cop." I nod. Cheryl stumbles out of the house. "Where- where's you are going?" She ask walking over to me. "Home." She kisses my cheek. "Can I stay with you?" She ask quietly. I sigh. "If you throw up I'm gonna kill you." I say quietly. "I have water in the car." Veronica says as we get into her car. I get behind the wheel and notice that her car is a Stick Shift. "V?" She looks at me. "I can't drive your car." I whisper. "What do you mean?" She ask confused. I motion to the shift. "Oh, I forgot about that." She smiles. "I'm gonna call an Uber and pick the car up tomorrow."

Cheryl and I walk into the house and go to the kitchen for some water. "You ok?" I ask quietly. "Yeah. You're the one I should be asking." She whispers. "You seemed off all night." I look down. "I thought I could go and be ok, but I've never wanted to do drugs more." She nods. My mom walks into the kitchen. "You're home early." I nod. "I'm gonna go to your room and get some sleep." Cheryl walks out leaving me and mom. "You know the drill." I nod. "I didn't, as much as I wanted to." She nods. "I know, I heard but I still have to." I nod. "I hate this too." She hands me the cup. I walk into the bathroom and pee in that stupid cup. She puts the stick in it and everything is fine. "It still says you did lines of crack." I nod. "Yeah, because it takes forever to leave your system."
I whisper. "It's only been 2 days Mom. Tomorrow there will not be a trace of it." I say quietly. She nods. "Your pupils aren't blown. Also if I pull a peace of your hair in like 6 months it might still be there." I nod. "Can I go to bed?" I ask quietly. "Yeah, get some rest." I go to my room.
