If I lose myself tonight, it'll be by your side.

Ridley.
I didn't like him asking these many questions,"Gavin,"I said sternly,"Im fine,"I said shaking my head. I pushed past him heading back to the bedroom.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I was shocked that she was being so blunt with me. I kept quiet and stayed where I was as I watched her leave. What happened to her? She seemed fine last night. She seemed more than fine.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I went into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. Ugh, my head hurt like a mother fucker. I set my coffee down and went to where I hid my stash, pulling it out and getting it ready.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
This wasn't like her at all. It made me extremely curious. I walked into the bedroom, seeing the bathroom door closed. I knocked on it lightly, "Ridley?" I asked.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I froze as I looked over at the door,"Uh, just a second,"I stuttered as I began fumbling around trying to hide my things. I was pissed off. Why couldn't he just leave me alone?

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I grew impatient, "Ridley what the hell is going on?" I asked angrily. She never acted like this. Like she was hiding something.

[lauren.]

"Just a second!"I yelled back as I ended up having everything fall onto the floor. "Shit,"I muttered as I dropped to the floor. Why now? I was almost ready!

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I didn't have time to put up with this crap, "Goddammit," I muttered as I grabbed a safety pin off the dresser. I was an expert lock picker. I quickly opened the door to see Ridley on the floor with...drugs. "What the fuck Ridley!" I yelled. I was angry, hell was, but I was more disappointed than anything.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
"I told you to wait!"I yelled at him so angry right now. Angry that I didn't get a hit, that he didn't listen to me, that I was caught. I picked everything up and held it tightly to my chest. I didn't look at him though for the fear of what his face looked like.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
"Is that cocaine?" I asked, my heart instantly sinking. "Ridley...what the fuck are you doing?" I asked. I grabbed her shoulder, turning her to face me. "Do you even know how dangerous drugs are? Did you even learn from what happened to me?" I couldn't believe she would even try something this...reckless.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
"Stop,"I said yanking myself away from him. "I don't care,"I said blocking his vision from my stash. "It makes me feel good and it makes you feel good also,"I said sniffing a little. I was surprised he hasn't seen the rawness from my nose but makeup hides that well.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I stared at her, "Makes me feel good? Baby you don't need to do drugs to make me feel good! I know you care Ridley. Fuck I know you care." I growled, my eyes burning with anger. "You just got cancer free Ridley, and you're only making things worse."

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I narrowed my eyes,"Im not making anything worse. I'm living my life,"I said the anger in his eyes frightening me but I made sure it didn't affect me on the outside.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I was in utter disbelief. "Living you life? Ridley you're going to end up dead if you keep doing this. I almost lost you once, and the thought of losing you again...I don't even want to think about it. When the hell did you start this?" I demanded, not taking my eyes off of her.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I swallowed hard but still looked him in the eyes,"It doesn't matter when I started it or that I'm even doing it. I can do whatever I want,"I said crossing my arms.
