My eyes go wide and I instinctively reach for the baggie, but he pull's it just out of my reach.
"Eh!, not so fast". "You haven't earned a reward yet, Pet!".
"Please, sir!". "I need more, just a little bit".
"And what will I get, Trix?". "What do I get out of this deal"... "Hmm, Pet?".
I shuffle forward, still on my knees looking up at him pleadingly for any type of praise.
"Stand up!, pet".
Like the obedient pet I am, I am up on my feet in a flash. Not caring if anyone else is watching because, Julian certainly doesn't seem to give a damn if he has an audience. As long as he get's what he want's, that's all he cares about.
"I asked you!"... "What will you give me if I help you out, Trix?".

Have you ever met someone who alters the course
of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad
you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this.
*** TRIGGER WARNING***
SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have.
The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late?
PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
