Weeds: - Down With the Sickness
Karmil lay on the sand on Hartman private backyard beach, sunglasses on, iPod blazing in her ears, a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a bong in the other. She just lay there, motionless, except for when she took a swing of the whiskey or a hit of the bong. She was a broken girl, nothing had been going right for her lately, first her parents abandoned her for Japan, her business was going downhill, and not to mention getting shot five times. This was her healing process, getting drunk and high on a beach behind her house.
There was a knock at the front door and Abraham answered,
"Hey Abe" greeted Nancy as she stepped inside,
"Is Karmil home?" asked Shane walking in behind his mother,
"What's up, Botwins?" Abraham smiled, "She's out the back, I gotta warn you though, she blind drunk and high" he shrugged as if it were nothing.
"She's what?" Nancy asked, horrified by Abe's lack of concern. She placed her things on the kitchen bench as she stormed outside to the beach, the boys hot on her heels.
"She's been like this for hours" Abraham said,
"Karmil Hartman" Nancy shouted angrily. She stood over Karmil, casting a shadow over the girl face, causing her to pull out her headphones,
"Fuck off Nancy" Karmil groaned, "You're in my fucking sun" she sat up and put the bong her mouth, inhaling the smoke that rose to the top. She exhaled slowly and took a swig before lying back down on the sand. Nancy snatched up the bottle and bong, and as soon as Karmil realised they were gone she jumped up followed Nancy back to the house, shouting profanities at her.
Shane and Abraham turned to one another with a smirk,
"I gotta warn you, she's not a happy drunk" Abraham smirked raising his eyebrows.
"What is wrong with you?" Nancy asked,
"You fucked up my whole life Nancy Botwin" Karmil snapped. "I had everything going for me until you showed up, now everything's turned to absolute shit!"
"You came to me Karmil",
"I didn't know you had so much fucking baggage. I thought you were some fucking soccer-mom drug-dealer. You got me in so much fucking shit because of all that extra-baggage you dumped on me"
"Is this about Guillermo?" Nancy asked softly, taking a step towards Karmil,
"No, it's about how I got shot, and had to kill people to protect my family and yours… Yeah, that's right Nancy, I killed them. Do you know what that feels like, to put a bullet through a man's brain?"
Nancy looked horrified and tears started to roll down her cheeks,
"You did that?"
"Are you fucking retarded, what the fuck did I just say, huh?" Karmil shook her head and took the bottle upstairs with her to her bedroom. "Stay the fuck away from me Nancy".
