Her and Candie had spent the rest of the night on the roof, after a tone of drugs and booze, they’d loosened up and for a while everything was normal and it felt great. They’d fallen asleep in Tansy’s bed together. Tansy was the first to wake up that morning with a pounding head ach and the realization that her and Donnie were really over. It wasn’t him that she was waking up to and that made her heart twist. Her and Candie had spent the day trying to pretend that everything was okay, but the second Kaleb and Collin came back home there was a heavy tension, between the four of them.
Kaleb had wanted to talk to Candie and so Tansy went down stairs and put on a movie, hoping that Collin would leave her alone, but she wasn’t that lucky. A part of her wished that Donnie would come and fight for her, but she knew that wouldn’t happen he was sick of her. Collin told her things that completely broke her down, showed her pictures he’d taken of Donnie and Lauren making out and what hurt the most was how content Donnie looked. Eventually Collin had broken her down so much, she’d ended up back at his house and they’d spent the rest of the night fucking.
He’d promised he’d changed and part of her wanted to believe him. For the first week they were back together, they were actually sober and kind of happy. When they went back to school, Collin’s arm around her shoulder, everyone was in shock. The first time Tansy saw Lauren all over Donnie, something in her literally died. She’d lost the most important person in her life and it was all her fault. She hated the way Lauren looked at him, like she already had their entire life planned out and she regretted not looking at him that way. What she hated most that Lauren actually treated him the way he deserved. She wasn’t entirely sure if they were together or not, but they sure as hell acted like it and it made her sick to her stomach.
Every time she saw him with Lauren she had to fight back to urge to fall apart. But, just like she’d predicted everything had gone back to normal. She went back to being top of the food chain at school alongside Candie. As the weeks passed and turned into a month, Collin had gone back to being a complete fucking ass hole. Their fights were violent and she covered her pain by staying high. She’d gotten kicked out of school twice over the past month and even threatened to be expelled.
She actually hadn’t shown up too school in the past three days. Her and Collin had gotten into such a bad fight this time, the neighbors had called the cops on them. They’d cuffed Collin and had him in the back of the cop car until the two of them had finally calmed down. She’d brought up the fact that she’d rather be going to the dance with Donnie and Collin had nearly beaten the shit out of her for it. It had taken her a good two hours to cover up her black eyes and the bruises all over her body, to look decent enough to show up to the dance.
Finally she’d finished her make-up, before curling her long dark hair, and finally slipping into her prom dress. She looked incredible, he honestly looked like a princess, but she didn’t feel like on. In fact she felt like complete shit. She didn’t even want to go and she felt sick at the thought of Lauren, looking beautiful and sober, while she looked like a crack whore train wreck.
“You look good babe.” Collin smirked walking up behind her and kissing her neck and she pulled away from him rolled her eyes. He grabbed her wrist roughly and spun her to face him. “Disrespect me like that tonight, I’ll put your whore ass in the hospital again.” He spat harshly and her jaw clenched.
“Just shoot me up and shut the fuck up.” She hissed glaring at him. She kept her eyes on him as he walked away getting a needle ready, before walking back over to her and grabbing her arm.
“Put the claws away Tansy Bear, no one likes a bitch.” He spat tightening his grip on her wrist before jamming the needle into her arm and she tried pulling away, letting out a pained noise, but his grip was too tight. He shot her up ad whatever he’d given her was burning her veins.
Lux had gone completely off the deep end. He knew him and Candie were over, she was too far gone, she’d never just want him and that killed him. He had nothing to fucking live for because now that she was gone, he was completely certain he’d lost the only girl he’d ever really loved. He’d woken up the next morning, next to Lea only to find out that she was younger than her tattoos made her look. He’d fucked a sixteen year old and no she was convinced they were dating, not that he minded because when they had sex it seemed to make him forget about Candie. Lea was incredibly good with putting up withhis drugged up ass.
He’d turned into a complete reckless, psychopath. When guys looked in Lea’s direction he’d cuss them out and threaten to beat the shit out of them. He’d convinced himself that he could stay with her, because he didn’t love her and if she ever left him it wouldn’t hurt the way it had hurt loosing Candie. He was never sober, in fact he hadn’t been sober in close to a month and a half now and the only person aware of him getting sicker was Lea. She only knew because she’d walked in on him passed out in the bathroom, he’d stopped breathing, Demetri had been there and tried his best to give him CPR and the EMS had told them if they hadn’t given him CPR to keep air in his lung he would have been dead.
His grandpa had found out that he’d dropped out of school and that hadn’t ended well, it had ended him his grandpa forcing him to go back to school, he made sure that all of his classes avoided any of the group, it had been hard, but considering the fact that his grandpa had money, he’d made it happen. It had been a month sense he’d seen or heard from any of his friends. He’d seen Collin a few times but it was only to exchange money for drugs, Reed had always bought his shit from Collin not that anyone knew that.
Lux sat on his bed, face buried in his hands. Lea told him she’d missed her period and he was freaking the fuck out. There was no way in hell he could be a dad, he was worse than a train wreck, there was no way he could raise a baby.
“Babe?” he heard Lea’s voice and he glanced up to her all dressed up in her short sparkling yellow dress. She was beautiful, she really was, but she was nothing compared to Candie and he wondered if she’d even be there tonight.
“Are you pregnant?” he breathed standing up, Reed was mean and instead of forgetting about the possibility for the night and enjoying the night, he brought it up and his tone was demanding.
“Reed, I’m too scared to take the test, I don’t know.” She voice desperate as she took a step forward and he just rolled his eyes and straightened his tux in the mirror, before leaning down and snorting one too many lines of coke. “Baby, you’re going to kill yourself.” She grabbed his arm genuine worry in his voice.
“I’m already fucking dead. Get your shit so we can get this night over with.” He spat grabbing his keys and heading out the door not bothering to wait for her.
