Monster
Chapter nine
There I sat on the wooden park bench, awaiting my fate. My eyes were red and puffy from crying, and no matter how many times I tried to calm down, the tears always resurfaced. I knew what I was getting myself into, but I couldnt live with the pain.
Johnny was the love of my life, the reason I got up in the morning. I know that sounds corny, but Its true. He was the only boy who stole my heart. But now he's gone. This heartache brought me here.
"Hey." Jessie said, sitting down next to me. I attempted a smile, but it didnt look like much.
"Wow, you look like crap." He noted.
"Thanks." I replied.
"Im just saying. Come on, we cant do this here. Lets go back to my place, my parents are gone." We stood up and walked to his car. It was nothing like Johnny's sleek black mustang. Jessie's car was a small, beat up red honda.
He opened my door, something Johnny never did, and I climbed in. I watched as walked around the front of the car and got in the drivers side. He started the car and pulled away in one swift movement.
"So, what brings you here on this fine Saturday afternoon?" Jessie asked, trying to make conversation.
"What do you mean? What brings me to you for drugs? Ha." I let out a sarcastic laugh. "Its complicated."
He slowed the car, stopping at a stop sign. He turned and looked at me.
"Its never complicated, Amy." He replied. "I got started cause I was lonely, and drugs brought me friends. But you have plenty of them. So what's your deal?"
I hesitated for a moment. Why was I here? I mean of course Johnny had something to do with it. But there had to be more reasoning behind this than a broken heart. I suddenly knew the answer to his question.
"My mom." I replied simply. He had begun to drive again, and glanced at me for a moment.
"Typical. What your rents do?"
"Well, my mom was never there for me. She was always pushing me into cheerleading, into being the best. She never stopped to give me a hug, or tell me second place was just as good as first. No, instead she worked me even harder, trying to make me into something she never was. Sure, shes better now. But still expects the best, and I cant give it to her."
We were parked infront of a small, white house. It had blue shudders and a white fence. Red and pink roses outlined the side of the house, giving it a homey look.
"Mom loves perfection." He said, watching me stare at the gorgeous house.
"Its beautiful." I said.
"Yeah, whatever. Its just another house." He got out of the car and retreated up the small stone path to the house. He turned and looked at me, still sitting in the car.
"You coming?" He called. I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped out of the car. I quickly followed Jessie into the small house.
The inside was even more amazing than the outside. A small wooden stair case greeted us as we entered the door, flowers resting on either side of the huge mantle. There were wooden floors throughout the whole house.
Jessie led me up the stairs into his room. He walked quickly, certainly wanting to get down to buisness. We walked down the narrow hall until we came to a room that had a sign on the front reading: KEEP OUT! I followed Jessie into the room.
He sat down on his bed, patting the spot next to him. I sat down and looked around. His walls were a deep blue, matching his light blue bed spread. His room was small, but comfortable. There was a desk with a computer on it in the corner of his room. By it was the door to his closet.
I watched as he pulled out a small tin box out from under his mattress. He opened it and inside were tiny bags filled with white crystals.
"So, you wanna try some?" He asked, opening the bag.
"Of course." I replied. I was surprised by how confident I sounded. Before he pulled out the crystal, I had begun to rethink this whole thing. But once I saw it, it intrigued me. I had to at least try some.
He pulled a glass pipe from the tin box and dropped one crystal in it. Then he lit it with a lighter from his pocket. He took a quick puff and then handed it to me.
I hesitated for a moment, deciding which was best.
"Come on," He urged, "it makes pain go away." That was his selling line. If it could make this heartache go away, I was all for it.
I took the pipe from his hand and took a quick puff, mimicking what he had done.
The smoke made my head spin. I closed my eyes and soaked it all in. It made me feel better, made the pain weaken. I opened my eyes and took another puff, and another until the pain was gone.
My body was tingling everywhere. My mind was whirling and spinning, take me higher and higher with each puff. When the crystal was gone, Jessie and I were flying. We were happier than ever before.
The Crystal made me forget about Johnny and my mom. It replaced them with bright colors and feelings of sensation. I was flying high above the world, with Jessie, and nobody could bring me down. Not even Johnny.
That was the best I had felt in months, and I wasnt letting it go. I would do everything I could to stay in that happy, flying state. And I do mean everything.
