Chapter Nine
Mia
While I lay peacefully fast asleep in my bed, I’m woken when my stomach contracts.
With my jaw tingling and my mouth filling with saliva, I pull back the sheets and blindly, I race into the bathroom and I fall to the ground in front of the toilet where the contents of my stomach are expelled.
While my body trembles, I also begin to sweat profusely, but the worst part is when there’s nothing left in me, but my stomach muscles continues to contract and the dry wrenching burns my throat.
At some point, I lay down on the cold floor and I fell asleep.
“Yo, do you think you can move enough to let me in so I can pee?” I hear Raine ask.
Slowly, my eyes open, but quickly, I close them again when the light hits me, surging a flash of pain behind my eyes.
“Fuck me, I feel like I went out and got fucking wasted last night. This fucking sucks!” I moan as I move onto my side, trying to give Rain enough room to gain access to the toilet because I’m not capable of standing, or even lifting my head off the wonderfully cold tiled ground.
“Yeah, detox sucks,” she says as she steps over me.
“How many times have you had to do this shit?”
“A few times. I’d give you some pills but I’m out and I won’t be able to get any in since they beefed up the screening process for visitors. I’ll be where you are, soon enough.”
My stomach once again contracts and I don’t even have time to tell Raine to get off the toilet. Quickly, I push myself up and I reach the sink, but even though there’s nothing coming up, it doesn’t stop my body from reacting. “Fuck. This. Shit,” I blurt. I’m exhausted and my body cannot hold itself up, so I lay back down on the ground.
Once Raine has done her business, she lowers herself down beside me, crossing her legs under her. "I know this sucks. I know you want that one last hit, but you will be okay. It’s up to you, but since you were so nice to me last night, I want you to know that I’ll be here for you too. And I know it’s going to be difficult, but I’m now committed to the process. I’ve never wanted to get sober but that was only because I never had anyone willing to do it with me. If you want, I can be your support? I know I’ll be pretty horrible when I begin to detox but I want you to know that if I do get bitchy, that it isn’t about you rather the pills leaving my system. Do you think you might want to get clean?” She questions as she rests a hand on my leg.
Even though the fact that she’s touching me makes me feel uncomfortable, I don’t bother fighting it. “If I get sober, then all the bullshit I’ve tried to run from will be at the forefront of my mind.
