The cool liquid poured down his throat as he drank feverishly. He slammed the bottle onto the table and opened another, an needle sitting beside it.
Your bottle's almost empty
His deep green eyes were half closed as the smell of alcohol but still aware as they fell on the needle. Inside, the liquid was shadowed by the green glass. The liquid was known as MDMA, a hallucinogen that would help him escape.
He stared at the bottle of alcohol again, his fiery red hair falling into his face. He was beginning to grow dizzy from the alcohol. Use the MDMA, and he's out for the night.
Why would he choose this over everything?
You know this can't go on
Simple. Escape from the harsh world around him. He lost his father that he could barely remember, the mother who loved him dearly but died protecting him, and now, he's lost his sanity.
The boy grabbed the end of his sleeve and pulled it up. He then took a sanitized cotton ball and dabbed the inside of his elbow, marking where he'd inject the drug that would take him away from the harsh world for the while.
The needle poked his skin and the boy was about ready to pierce it when…
"Aerrow?" A worried voice said.
Because of you my mind is always racing
The boy named Aerrow looked up. He saw a lovely young girl his age with mocha skin and midnight blue hair. This girl, wearing her baggy shirt and shorts, stared at him with half-confusion, half-horror.
"What are you doing?" She asked, hoping it was a dream.
Aerrow smiled. "Piper, I didn't think you'd wake up. Couldn't sleep?"
"You're dodging the question." Piper said, stepping forward. "Please, put it down."
The needle's breaking your skin
The scar is sinking in
Aerrow smiled drunkenly and pierced his skin. "Too late." He said before injecting the drug. The warmth seeped up through the veins of his blood. His world blurred before he finally escaped.
And now your trip begins, but
He felt like he was flying through the air on his own; no skimmer, no wings…nothing. Just his body flying through the air.
It's all over for
It's all over for
Piper watched in horror as her best friend fell into a state of drunk and drugged. She couldn't help but be angry with him.
You
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
Aerrow was always the strong one, the one that held everyone together, the one that she cared so deeply for. She watched in trembling anger and grief as Aerrow swayed back and forth in a delirious state of mind, laughing crazily.
She guided him to his room.
"I can't believe you would resort to this, Aerrow." She said once she sat him on his bed. He sobered slightly upon hearing that, though she'd failed to notice it as she walked towards the door. "You were always the strong one. What happened?"
It's all over
The next morning, Aerrow didn't bother to get up from bed once he woke up.
A tight feeling in his chest kept distracting him from the rest of the world.
Guilt is what he felt, he knew for Piper's words would not stop echoing. He couldn't take it back, he knew. Piper's eyes would now fall on him differently, no matter what.
I know what runs through your blood
You do this all in vain
For the entire day, Piper had avoided his gaze. The rest of the Storm Hawks didn't know why but decided to leave it be. Aerrow understood; she had yet to tell anyone.
Because of you my mind is always racing
Hint. Being yet.
And it gets under my skin
To see you giving in
That night, he sat in the kitchen. This time, he wasn't drinking heavily or injecting drugs into his skin. He just sat at the table, staring at his hands. He was unaware of the gaze that was on him. Those amber eyes that had avoided his gaze for the entire day.
And now your trips begins but
It's all over for
It's all over for
You
For you
He only realized it when he looked up. All the guilt twisted inside of him.
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
"Pi-" He began but was interrupted by her.
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over
"Are you really you right now?"
Aerrow smiled weakly. "Yeah. I am."
Piper cautiously walked in. This girl stood in front of him.
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
"Piper, I'm so-"
It's
All
Over
"Not enough." She said quickly. Aerrow looked up desperately at his friend. "You can't apologize enough for me to forgive what I saw. That image of you is forever scarred into my mind."
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
It's all over
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
Aerrow felt shattered. He was falling. Nothing mattered now.
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you, for you
"I am going to help you." Piper said, kneeling down. She grabbed his hand.
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
When you're on the edge and falling off
Aerrow stared at the hands that were touching. He should feel happy and love the warmth of her hand, right?
It's all over for you
Wrong.
For you
For he was…
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
And now…
It's all over
