Brian’s Point of View

I walked down the stairs to find Cole and Zack in a heated discussion no doubt about her presences here. But like I said I’m tired of everyone’s bullshit.

I walked over to her without a word and stood in front of her and in-between her and Zack. Normally, this is when I’d make Zack leave but he confessed that not only he but everyone else knows about my addiction, the severity of it is an entirely different subject. But hell, I don’t even know that.

"Just give me the shit and get the fuck out, Cole." I said with my voice full of resentment.

“Fine by me, the faster I get away from this piece of shit the better.” She replied.

“You think I’m a piece of shit?! You’re killing him, you stupid little bitch!” Zacky said before walking out of the living room and into the kitchen.

“He said that like I’m forcing the needle in your arm.” Cole said with a laugh as she pulled a bag out of her purse.

“No, he said it like your giving me the supplies to stick the needle in my arm. Which you are, so.” I said as I took the bag.

“If it wasn't me you’d get it somewhere else.” She stated.

I nodded in agreement as I looked into the brown bag to make sure that she wasn't trying to fool me again.

“It’s not pills this time, asshole.” Cole said looking a tad pissed.

“Yeah, like I’m just supposed to trust you.” I replied as I handed her the money.

“Whatever. “ She said more to herself than me.

“You can go now.” I said as I sat down on the couch. My mind automatically started going through ways to get Zacky out so I could do this.

Buying drugs with him watching I could do but doing drugs with him watching was a whole different situation.

Rosalie’s Point of View

“Boom! I beat your ass!” Matt screamed with a laugh.

“Oh, you beat a girl at Call of Duty, you’re so tough.” I mocked with a smile.

“Whatever.” He said as he sat the control down and turned the TV back on ‘My Name is Earl’.

I started to say something smart but stopped when I looked up and saw Ami.

“That was Zacky.” She stated as she sat down next to Matt.

“Is he okay?” I asked

“Yes and No.”

“How is that possible, babe?” Matt asked after he muted the TV.

“Well, he said that he hadn't realized just how bad Brian was. But that he was alive in the sense that his heart is beating and he’s breathing.”

“We have to figure something out ‘cause Gates is running out of time.” Matt said looking down at his Jimmy deathbat tattoo.

“Zacky also said that Brian knows that we know.”

“How’d that go?” I asked.

“It went good. Zack said it was kind of weird but he just isn't used to Junkie Brian.” Ami said with a sad face.

I know what they’re going through right now. I've dealt with addicts before.

“What are we gonna do?” Matt asked.

“Zacky’s gonna come over and we’re gonna figure this out, Matt.” Ami said sitting beside him on the couch and taking his hand in hers.

I wish I had that kind of relationship. You know the kind where the love is so obvious even when they just look at each other or hell even think of one another.

But, I always fall for the assholes that break me.

“I should probably see if I can get my apartment back.” I thought out loud.

“Why, you can stay here?” Matt asked

“Well, there really isn't a point anymore.”

“Just wait until we have a plan. You never know.” Ami said.

I can’t help but feel like she already has a plan to save Brian and somehow I have a feeling that I’m gonna be a part of it.
