Ander

Lying back on my bed, I set my phone down on the floor beside it. I came home and showered first before texting her. I didn’t want to come on too strong. A lazy smile plays on my lips, from a mix of the heroin that I just tasted minutes ago and from Hadley. She didn’t agree to it, but she didn’t say no and I know Hadley. She likes to play like a hard-ass at times, but her silence speaks words. After she said that she’d give me a chance to talk, her not responding already tells me that she’s more than willing to let me occupy her time tomorrow.

I was an asshole to her earlier. Blame it on the lack of drugs in my system at the time and the pain or just the simple fact that I’m an asshole. Either way, it was completely unnecessary. After all that I’ve put her through, she didn’t have to give me a ride tonight. She could have easily just walked away, not giving me the time of day whatsoever.

But she didn’t.

This was my chance to try and make things right. I would never expect her to take me back. Shit, I wouldn’t take me back at this point. The damage has already been done and I’m more of a fucking mess than I’ve ever been. But that doesn’t erase the fact that I fucking miss her, that I still fucking crave her almost as much as the drugs.

Hadley was the closest taste that I’ve ever had to heroin. Perhaps she’s my true addiction and the dope is just a distraction. The drugs numb the pain, but Hadley makes me feel everything.

A loud bang sounds through the room as my door flies open, bouncing off the wall. My head is heavy as I slowly lift it, looking in the direction of the sound. Anya stands in the doorway with her hands on her hips, shooting daggers at me with her eyes.

“What the fuck?” I mutter, dropping my head back onto the bare mattress. “Don’t you know how to fucking knock?”

“What were you doing with her, Ander?” Anya demands, narrowing her bloodshot eyes at me. “I fucking saw you in her car.”

A sigh escapes me as I roll onto my side and push against the pain to sit up. My feet rest on the floor that’s only a few inches below the top of the mattress. My hands fall to my knees as I glare back at her. “Since when is what I do any of your fucking business?”

Anya laughs loudly and the harsh sound bounces off the walls from within the small room. “It became my fucking business when I took your ass back.” She steps farther into my bedroom and stares down at me as she stops by my feet. “Did you forget who the fuck picked up the pieces after everything went to shit between you two?”

Now it’s my turn to laugh. I stare at her in disbelief, feeling my lip curl upward as I absorb her words.
