Anna and Chonie. So please review or probably wont continue I know

it sounds mean but thats just the way I am. (Im ADD, hehe) Oh yeah,

takes place in the present.]

When I was little I had dreams of being a composer. People

said I played the paniol like a prodigy. Fuck, I WAS a prodigy.

Because in the eyes of a child the world is bright. Life is kinda

gay but it doesn't seem that way in the eyes of a child. I even

grew up in a real family. I got straight A's. My sister got

straight A's. Hell, even my fucking dog was perfect.

Unfourtainly, all that changed around the time I was 13. I met

Trey. We dated for a while but nothing serious came of it. But he

was my gateway. He led me into my world.



Walking down the dark street I smell wet pavement. It rained a

while ago, it is still sprinkling but I need my fix. I rub by arms

under together under my dark brown coat. I checked to see what

shirt I was wearing because I forgot. It's navy blue and says

Breckenridge (A place my perfect little family used to go skiing all

the time.) I think I wore it because it's the only shirt I have

that is long enough to cover the rip in my jeans right on my ass.

One of the many holes in this particular pair of jeans. As I near

the ally I can already smell the sent of sweat and booze. I don't

small talk and just get in to the bag. It's empty.

"There the fuck is the stuff?" I shout. I didn't mean it to

sound that mean but it just came out that way.

"Relax, he isn't here yet." Chonie muttered from under Race.

They were making out as usual. Chonie was wearing the red shirt of

hers that I love. In fact that is why is a little to big for her, I

stretched it out. Her brown hair is piled up on her head. It just

accents her eyes so it is obvious she is Mexican. Oh sorry, she is

from Puerto rican. She gets all pissy about that. Oh yeah, her

chonies are showing too, her thong is stretched half way to her

belly button. Thus, the name Chonie.

"What's up Jade?" Blink asked dragging up the last of the pot

before flicking it over his shoulder.

"I'm cold." I shuttered, my breath smoking up to the sky. I

lit a cigaret, a poor substitute for smack but it gives me something

to do.

"You've been cold a long time." He started.

"Yeah well it's winter."

"No I mean, have you got checked for AIDS? You know how you're

always sick-" I am so sick of that bastard.

"I don't have AIDS Blink." I say balancing the cigaret in my

mouth as I fixed my short blond hair back up into the pile on my head.

"How do you know?" He asked now just making conversation until

Trey got here.

"Because I am not a skank,"

"Like Chonie over there." Skittery pointed out just before

Chonie threw her bag at him. I just noticed Boots was there cause

he had been so quiet. There are others there but I can't make them

out, it's too dark. I sit down on an empty crate of pop and rub my

hands together. I hear footsteps and we all turn to the opening of

the ally.

"Wow, warm welcom." He mentioned as nobody was talking. It's

just Davie.

"Awww," A few of us moan. "Whadda bring the kid for?" Race

asked getting up and helping Chonie up, she dusted herself off.

"Aw Race I can be just as bad as you." Les muttered getting out

from behind his big brother.

"Sure Kid," Someone muttered in the dark.

"Hey, where's your sister David? Walking the streets as

usual?" Skit asked. But he wasn't really asking. We all knew what

he meant.

"You should know, you paid for her last." He smirked just

before checking the empty bag on the crate and sliding down the wall

to a sitting position. Less did the same.

"He should really come earlier." David wined. The bag was

usually full until Friday night, it's only Thursday night but still.

I guess we all had a pretty heavy week. We get enough for three or

four days. It's always been the same. Ever since I've been here.

Jack comes directly from Trey and brings the stuff. And if one of

us is in Brooklyn Spot takes care of us. There the two big shots

around here, besides Trey of course. Jack and Spot are kinda like

God's messengers, if you wanna think of New York as a really fucked

up universe. O course, since I'm dating Jack he always gets me

something extra.

It has been like 10 minuets. I reach for my bag and take out

my needle. I start wiping it down since theres nothing else to do.

Nobody is talking. The only sound I hear is of rain on the

pavement, the rubbing of the needle, and Chonie and Race making out.

I glance over and see his hand go up her skirt. I just turn back

to my needle

"I think Mom needs to make hot dogs more." Les begins. He is

such a quiet-aholic. "She makes tacos too much."

"Les," David began, "it's quiet time okay."

"Okay." 10 seconds later. "But I really like hot dogs."

"This is why we don't like the kid David." Like says from the

corner.

"I got a name." Les argued standing up and facing Blink.

"Yeah," He said getting into his face. "Yeah you do," he pulled

his pocket knife out but nobody is worried because he does it all

the time. "And you come around here with it again and Ill cut your

fucking throat until I can-"

"Blink stop scaring him before he shits his pants." I break it

up and they go back to their places.

5 minutes of silence go bye.

"I guess I need to start the party." Jack says after arriving

and surveying the scene. He dropped his black backpack on the crate

and we all gather around it. "Back up, back up." He says waving his

arms. "Blink, 40 milliontonth acid," He says handing me a pack, I

hand it to Blink. Rumor has it Blink it an acid user because when

his senses cross over he can see through his other eye. "Race and

Chonie 2 rolls, 6 X, and 8 caps." I hand them their bag. Most

people have one drug they stick with but they are still trying stuff

out. "Boots, 3 pills of GO." And "David, here you go man. He hands

him a new needle, and some SMACK." I cant tell how much but it's

not as much as he hands me.

"Your late." I say playfully as I pull him close. Nobody

notices because there all lighting up or whatever. We kiss and he

slips a couple pills in the pocket of my jacket. Probably X. He

likes to take it when we have sex. Best sex youll ever have is with

X.

"I forgot my-" I don't let David finish and hand him my spoon.

Without even looking away from Jack.

"I got a little something for you too Jacky Boy," I say

grabbing my bag and taking a bottle of whisky from the bottom. Im

not much of a whisky person so I give it all to him.

"Thanks Anna." He said kissing my neck. Headlights zoom bye

along with the sound of a Broadway Hits CD playing from a car radio.

We all turn out back to the road and hide out stuff.

"You know," I sigh "I think I'm just gonna light up at home." I

say grabbing my spoon from David. I shake it out of my hand and

quickly to by bag because its still hot.

"You sure Babe?"

"Yeah, Im tired." I lie.

"You know being tired it one of the first signs of AIDS."

Blink points out between puffs. He hands it to Chonie

"Shut up." I yell after kissing Jack goodbye. I am already

half way out of the ally.

It isn't that long of a walk home but I really need a fix so I

hurry up. I look both ways before I cross the street. Some thing

your parents teach you that you never forget. I push the door open

to the old building. Uhh, if they don't even bother to lock the

door why have one. I have to step over 3 squatters to get to my

door. I reach into my pocket to find my keys and I have to jiggle

them to get them in and out.

I step into the door only to see darkness, even after I turn

the light switch on nothing happens. I step over the clothes and

empty pizza boxes to my bed. I live in a box. With a toilet in one

corner, bed in another, kitchenette in another, and a shower in the

other. Ah, what a life. I sit down on the quilt. The only light

in the room is my lighter under the burning spoon. It slowly turns

into liquid and I put it into the needle. I set everything but it

down and slowly inject it into my body. It takes a while for me to

find a spot where I hadn't injected it before.

"Happy Birthday to me." I mutter as I lie on my bed and let

the total and utter lack of control overpower my body.
