We’ve been in the car for several hours now, and sitting in this position for so long has my chest sore. Anytime I pick up my arm to turn up the radio, reach for my drink, or just try to turn and look at Brooklyn, a pain shoots through my chest.

Finally, Brook sits up. “Here, take one of these.”

I take the bottle from her hand and study it. “What is this?”

“It’s pain medication. I stole it from the clinic while you were back getting that bullet removed. I figured you would need it and knew that he wouldn’t give it to you since it’s technically for animals.”

I read over the bottle. One pill per every twenty pounds. I try and count in my head how many I will need to take, but the pain is getting to be unbearable. I give up on my pathetic math skills and pour out fifteen tiny pills. They are small, round pills that are brown in color.

“They’re even beef-flavored,” Brooklyn says from the backseat. I can hear the amusement in her voice.

“I do love a good steak,” I say before throwing them into my mouth and chasing it with a drink of water.

They both look at my scrunched-up nose. “That does not taste like beef.” They both laugh while I reach under my seat and pull out the bottle of bourbon I picked up from the gas station. I unscrew the cap and pour some into my mouth, gargling with it in hopes of getting the taste of the pills out of my mouth.

“Do you really think it’s a good idea to chase pain killers with alcohol?” Brooklyn asks.

I shake the bottle at her. “They’re not that strong. They are for little bitty dogs.” I roll my eyes.

“Let me see that.” She motions for the bottle. I hand it over and she reads over the label. “How many of these did you take?”

“Fifteen,” I answer.

“John, do you realize you should have taken nine? Ten at the most?”

I look over to see Jake staring at me, wide eyed.

“I’m sorry! I can’t think straight when I’m in this much pain.” I rub the lines that are forming on my forehead as I lean back, trying to get comfortable.

Brooklyn smacks me across the back of the head. “You’re such an idiot. Why didn’t you ask me how many to take?”

I glance back at her. “Why didn’t you tell me how many to take?”

“Alright, guys. It’ll be okay,” Jake interrupts. “We’ll just have to keep an eye on him, that’s all.”

Brooklyn crosses her arms over her chest and leans back. I turn and face the front. My chest feels like someone reached into it and squeezed everything inside.

Jake looks at us both before saying, “How about we stop and get some food? You probably need something in your stomach with all that pain medication.”

“That sounds perfect. I’m starving,” Brooklyn perks up from the backseat.

I grow more and more tired as we drive towards town, undoubtedly due to the
