After Forever & Ever

Chapter 20

Hardin-Present

I know I should have let Vance help me. But I had to get out of there and away fast.

I immediately regret ditching my phone even though I am pretty positive that's how he found me.

I guess I should back up a little bit. I went to my studio and into the safe where I kept everything. I mean everything. The drugs...the money everything that would save my ass right now.

And it was all gone.

Everything was gone.

I lost my fucking mind. I just started breaking shit. Because why does it fucking matter. I'm fucked. And I can't protect my fucking family. The only thing I can do is hope they leave. Or force them to leave. My family that is.

I don't know. I don't know how to fix this.

I stop a few blocks away since that's where I parked because I was originally just going to drink at the bar after seeing the nothing that was left at my studio but instead went to get a little more fucked up.

Before getting in my car. I just sit on the curb and look down at the pills I just bought from the guy at MHS (Montgomery High School).

I'm already fucked up but I take them. All of them. because fuck it right.

I also realize I gave Vance the gun. And I guess I kind of needed that. I'm not exactly dealing with the nicest of people. 

I'm fucked up right now. I can't think straight. I can't sit in my car because if the cops come ill be fucked. I guess I'll just walk back to MHS and sleep it off. I'm sure Vance is gone by now.

I'm still on some medication from the hospital so this is really fucking with me right now.

I just remember getting into a room and crashing on the ground. And then lights out.

And I don't know how long later but I am waking up to someone picking me up off the ground and throwing me into a wall and punching me in the face. I spit out blood and kneel to the floor try to get up but just stay kneeled over the ground.

I look up and its Dean and his brother Reed.

"What the fuck?" I finally say.

"Scott, I have waited long enough...where is my money?" Reed says.

"I'll get it I just need some time." I tell him.

"I gave you plenty of fucking time." He yells.

I finally am able to fucking stand.

"I was away for a while and then..." he stops me.

"Yea fucking cancer I heard...you probably would have been better off just biting it Scott because now your indebted to me until I get my fucking money." Reed says.

"Okay what do you want?..." I ask scared of the answer.

"You are going to work for me now. And get me my money." He replies.

"I have to serve 30 days." I tell him.

"Perfect you can move product while you are in there." He says to me.

"Reed if I get caught I'll go away for 30 years not 30 fucking days." I reply.

"That's not my fucking problem Scott. Plus you wouldn't want anything to happen to that pretty blonde girl of yours....Tessa right?" He says.

I lose it and lunge towards him Dean comes in between us. Reed pulls a gun out and puts it to my head. "Stay the fuck away from her!" I yell.

"Scott I would watch your fucking back and do what I fucking say." Reed yells as he still has the gun to my head.
