Mandy
People were milling about in the long narrow crowded hall of the school before lunch that school day. The end of morning classes bell had just rang. I was at my tall thin metal locker which I'd opened bending down putting my books on the lower of the 2 metal shelve.
The hallway was cold.
"Wow you're thin," a medium sounding female voice behind me said.
I stiffened, very aware of this person behind me.
"It's ok I am too. You'll become one of us," she continued.
Evidently she thought bc I'd stiffened I was embarassed by her comment. I wasn't embarassed jut elf conscious.
I stood, moved to the side to talk to whoever it was and letting room for them to put their tuff in the locker. If it was theirs.
"One of who?" I asked.
"The wintergirls," she leaned down and forward to put her books next to mine.
The books slid onto the shelf. I watched her. She moved slowly. Her long dark brown hair formed a curtain around her head. She was thin, wearing black pants, white flats and a soft gray v neck long sleeve sweater.
"The wintergirls?" I asked.
"Yeah. Neither dead nor alive," she said, standing.
That seemed an odd name for something that was neither dead or alive given it had the word 'winter' in it. And in winter everything's dead. 'fall girl' seemed more fitting since in fall it was between summer when things were happy and festive and winter when a aid. Everything was dead.
She put one small hand on her back as she looked at the things - images, magnets and quotes - on the inside of my locker door. Her eyes landed on a picture of Twiggy. I recognised her hand on her back from doing it many times myself. It meant her kidneys hurt. Which meant she needed to eat. I'd spent quite a bit of time doing that myself last yr. when I'd been anorexic. And, no one paid attention to me. Well my mom didn't anyway. I wondered if they were bruised at all. On her lower back.
"Twiggy fan," she muttered.
Her eyes scanned the things on the door.
"Yeah."
Not for her personality but for her physicality back then. Twiggy. that's why I liked her.
I wondered what she was doing at my locker.
"I'm Lia," she said quietly, turning back around.
He looked right in my blue eye startling me. Her eyes were dark. I saw the sadness and depth in them.
"Mandy," I told her quickly.
"Oh. I just moved here and apparently, we share a locker."
"Oh ok."
That answered my question.
"Where'd you move from? Who are the winter girls? Want to have lunch? Nice to meet you." I told her.
"The northeast. Myself and who was my best friend," lia was annoyed then quieted: "And no. and you too."
"Oh. Was?"
"Yeah she. um. she died."
"Oh."
I wondered how. And how long ago.
We walked down the hall together.
"You wanna go somewhere?" she asked.
"Where? I mean I don't want to eat," I said.
"I know me either. My car's warm. Or. we could go outside but it's kindof cold."
"Um idinno."
"Ok."
Obviously she was at least 16. I knew you had to weigh a certain amount to drive but I didn't know what that was. But she evidently weighed enough to be able to drive as t hin as she was.
She grew quiet. Out of the women's restroom emerged Santana and Brittany. Santana had her arm around Brittany.
'she's gonna pass out,' Santana muttered when I saw her.
'oh', i mouthed back.
Lia and I continued walking. She was as thin as I was, her hips the most prominent part of her body.
"Heeyyy," Amber was approaching us and smiling at us.
She was with Dianna. Amber was in a yellow dress and dianna was in black and a big chunky brown and white cardigan over the kind that tied w/ a thin belt. it had brown deer on it and brown and white horizontal not quite stripes. Amber' dark hair a down. Dianna's was pulled bac in a low ponytail.
"Girlfriend's got nice hips," Amber looked down towards lias hip's and then back up again.
Lia smiled.
"Hi Amber. Dianna," I said.
"Hi," Dianna said.
"Wanna have lunch with us?" Amber asked.
"No," I replied.
"Oh. Ok."
"You don't have to eat. You could just. you know. sit," Dianna said.
"Dianna. That's like. the worst thing you can say," I said.
"yeah and?"
But clearly, she didn't care.
"so you don't care," I said annoyed.
Although this was clear.
"no I don't care I thought you knew that."
"and cmon be nice."
"why?"
"cause she's new. And we've only jut met. And I want this to be a good experience for her."
And something happened I thought. Well I knew what'd happened but I didn't know the details.
"yeah well I gave up my u…..shouldn't someone be nice to me?" dianna aid her voice cracking on the verge of tear.
"dianna cmon let's go have some lunch," amber told her leading he away.
Dianna had never been all that nice to me. Even when she'd been over at the house for my sister ashley's sleepovers last yr. she wasn't nice to me. So I wasn't too surprised.
Lia said nothing. I sensed her discomfort.
"Sorry about that," I was obligated to apologise: "diannas not always the nicest person."
She shrugged her shoulders.
We walked farther down the hall.
"She's right you know. Amber," I stated.
Lia looked at me; "the...?"
I knew she wanted to be nice.
I smiled at this: "yes the heavyset one."
"About?"
"You do have nice hips. Really. nice hips. actually."
She smiled at her shoes: "yay I accomplished something today. She'd be so. Um. Proud."
She was all excited.
I wondered who she meant.
"are you checking me out?" lia blatantly asked me.
she seemed excited by the prospect.
"um no I wasn't I just. I like hips," I said.
"oh so you do go both sides."
"lets just say I'm good w/ playing on either side of the tennis net."
"oh ok this could be interesting."
"I have a boyfrriend though. Sorry."
"oh. Damnit."
Rachel came out of the bathroom and walked quickly up to us. She was in a white sleeveless dress. Her dark hair was down.
"You guys," she said.
"Yes?" I returned.
"Mr. Schue needs to talk to us."
"Now? But it's...lunch."
I was surprised.
"Yes now."
"Ok."
"Not like you eat," she muttered, walking past us.
So therefore to her it didn't matter what time it was.
She was looking a little thinner these days herself.
"hey you should talk to your girlfriend," I told her.
"hm why?" Rachel asked.
"she seemed upset about something."
"oh. Ok."
She went off.
"Hey did you guys see what happened to Brittany?" Puck asked, joining us.
He was in a gray button down and jean. He gave off body heat which was nice since the hallway was cold.
"No what?" I asked, as we made our way to the big metal doors at the end of the hall.
We pushed the cold metal bar in the middle of the doors forward opening the doors and walked out of them. In front of us was a landing and then 2 flights of stairs. We were between the first and 2nd floors. The 3rd floor was above us and then the cafeteria which wasn't big enough to hold the entire school.
"she's gotten sick," puck told us as we made our way upstairs.
"with what?" I asked.
I turned to lia: "Brittany's in the club w/ us. The glee club. Do you sing?"
"not…not really."
"oh. As is amber. And dianna the blonde who was w/ her. And Rachel the brunette."
"oh."
I felt that she was still depressed over her friend which was why she didn't say more.
I wondered how you can 'not really' sing. Either you do or you don't.
"I'm puck," puck introduced.
"lia," she said quietly.
"nice to meet you."
"yeah you too."
"he's in the club too," I told her.
"oh."
So far she'd been quiet.
"I'm not sure," puck aid.
"oh. When I saw them santanna informed me Brittany was going to pass out. I don't know if I'd consider that sick unless she has…" I began.
What I had lat yr which was anorexia. Puck knew sweat I meant.
"yeah idinno."
We continued walking up the crowded stairs. We walked up the stairs through the doorway to the next floor down the hall and into the medium size choir room.
When we got to the choir room we all sat down on the gray carpeted bleachers. Dianna, amber and Rachel were already there. Lia sat next to me.
"finally I can sit down," she said relieved.
I looked at her: "tired?"
"yeah and a bit winded. don't you have an elevator?"
"no not that I know of."
"oh."
I wondered why she wanted one.
I knew what it was like to be winded. I got that way myself due to my anemia which was a result of my anorexia which I'd recovered from by developing bulimia.
"do you want water or something?" puck looked at her.
"I uh no," she replied.
"oh. Ok. Well let me know," he smiled.
"ok I will."
"cool. Righton."
Puck was nice to all the new girls the main reason being he was hoping to have sex w/ them.
"puck," I said to him knowing this.
"hm?"
"just. Um."
'don't. don't break her and don't. you know. We've only just met her', I mouthed.
'ok' he mouthed back.
He'd already had sex w/ me. Bc of my past we'd gotten me drunk and stoned first. I hadn't ended up pregnant. And the newest member before me had been my sister Ashley who he'd also had sex w/.
We all looked up when Mr. schue entered the room. As usual he was in a white shirt and a black vest and pants.
"Brittany, has a cold and she won't be joining us," he told us: "so we'll need someone else to fill her spot. How bout…."
He looked around and his green eyes landed on lia: "you."
I wondered what Brittany going to pa out had to do w/ her having a cold.
I wondered what Brittany going to pa out had to do w/ her having a cold.
"oh I um. I don't sing. In fact I'm only here by proxy. Mandy and I share a locker and so I just blindly followed her up here. I don't know anyone else here and I don't know Mandy well. Oh I'm lia by the way. Sorry," lia sounded annoyed.
"ok….hi, Mr. schue. Why don't you sing?"
"personal."
"You know music's a great way to express…."
"no I'm fine. not. Singing. Scuse me," she said and left the room.
"sorry about that. She's new," I said.
"mmmhmm so we gathered," amber was also annoyed.
"so she's here bc she doesn't sing? A lot of sense that makes," dianna said.
"well not here at the school," Rachel said, clarifying.
"ok anyway. Who wants to take Brittany's place? Mandy? I mean I know you can be a bit wobbly at times but…." mr. schue said.
He meant physically wobbly.
"um. Maybe," I said.
"ok. Well that's not a definitive answer."
"yeah I know and you know why. Now if you'll excuse me," I was annoyed as well.
"um. Ok."
I left going down the hall to the cold bathroom where. I heard retching.
"um. Lia?" I guessed.
"what do you want?"
"it's Mandy."
"yeah I know."
"I just. wanted to be sure you're ok. I mean obviously you're not ok but um. Maybe you want some company."
"yeah whatever."
I sat down on the cold hard brown cement floor since she didn't seem to care either way. The floor wasn't v. comfortable
She'd been so nice when we'd first met. Yeah a bit quiet and standoffish but nice. I knew what'd changed.
"omygod," she whispered; "omygod. I know this is my fault and that this is how cassie went but omygod. It sucks. Yes I'm one of those people who create their own storms…..maybe I shouldn't've said that but. No turning back now. I don't want to go through this alone."
"yeah I know. yeah well you're not the only one," I s aid: "I think a lot of people are like this they just won't admit it. And you won't."
She'd been more honest than most people when admitting this.
I wondered if cassie was her friend who'd left. I still didn't know a whole lot about 'the wintergirls'. this was the most I'd heard her talk since we'd met.
"I'm sick Mandy! Even my dr says I'm healthy which is really fukin ironic. Well it's not like I drink," she laughed dryly.
"yeah well so'm I. I'll be right back."
Sick I meant.
I stood going out into the hall. I knew part of the reason she was sick was she didn't have enough water in her. This had happened to me as well at times. So I went in search of my sister Ashley who was always prepared. I bumped into someone in the hall a tall guy in jeans and an open light purple striped button down w/ long sleeves. He had short light brown hair and hazel eyes.
"hey you got any water?" I asked.
"no but the vending machine might," he replied.
"thanks."
I continued on my way. If the vending machine didn't have water I knew it would have Gatorade. Which would help.
The guy seemed really familiar and I couldn't figure out why.
We started going our separate ways.
"I'm Mandy," I called behind me.
"Evan," he called back.
He continued muttering to himself. Which was when I realised why he seemed so familiar. He was the new guy everyone had been talking about. They said he was 'crazy' they said not to go near him. My sister Ashley was one of the few who'd given him a chance.
I got to the vending machine and got a big plastic bottle of red fruit punch Gatorade then brought it back to the bathroom. From inside I heard voices.
"look I don't know you but you need to eat. Or at least drink something. Otherwise you will die. Is that what you want?" my 17 yr. old sister alexa was saying.
"well what the hell do you think?" lia said.
"you and 2 of my sisters. I'm not leaving untill you eat. Here."
Alexa must've pulled something out of her bag.
"no," lia said.
"yes."
I went back into the bathroom. Alexa looked at me. She was dressed like Mr. schue. She looked relieved.
"oh good Mandy you're here. She won't eat," she informed me.
"yeah I know. I got this," I said.
"ok."
She left.
The bathroom was quiet again save for lia's dry heaves.
I sat down. I gave us both a few mins. to get used to the quiet.
"lia," I said after awhile.
She didn't reply so I assumed she was waiting.
"um. I brought you some Gatorade. You need it. That way you'll have something in you to come out. Here," I rolled it under the stall door.
"I'll keep you company but I won't. Come down on you like my sister just did. For now."
"thank you. If I don't always tell you that."
I smiled: "uh huh."
I heard her breathe shakily.
I knew how much better things were when you're thirsty.
Alexa came back in. I stood.
"why didn't you get her something to eat? I have food….Ashley has food…." she asked.
"why do you really want my opinion on the matter? Do you really want to know why?" I was getting upset.
"um well…"
Alexa was surprised visibly taken back. Usually the only people who replied this way to her were Ashley and Kate.
"now will you leave? You're not making her 1st day any easier."
"yeah make sure she eats something."
"I will."
"and don't talk to him."
"who?"
"the new guy. He's, you know. crazy. I know Ashley already talked to him, so. which is something I won't get involved in since she's older and I don't do that."
"yeah I know got it. Now leave."
"ok."
Alexa left.
I sat back down.
"hey sorry about that. That was my sister. Ashley's my other one they're both older."
"yeah I figured. It's ok. And thanks. And actually it's not my 1st day I've been here for awhile," lia said.
"oh. So you don't sing? Well I mean obviously you don't sing. But um."
"no. I did only around cassie. And ever since….well, after. The way she went was horrible and I'm doin the same thing."
O that answered that question. Cassie was her friend who'd gone.
"no I get it. Kindof. Ashley's the same way she won't play piano. Her mom, uh."
"got it. This Gatorade is really good."
I smiled.
When ashley's mother passed which was yrs. ago she'd stopped playing piano.
"you're probably just really thirsty. And dehydrated," I told her.
"oh wow," she said quietly somehow surprised.
"yeah it gets that bad."
"no I know. And stupid thing is my body wants me to live."
"yeah but pretty soon it won't."
"yeah I know that too."
Oh.
"hey if you ever feel like your skin's burning let me know," I told her.
"you're funny. I'm like never hot. Unless I get laryngitis or something but other than that no. and ok," lia said.
"yeah but believe it or not it can happen to anorexics which I think you are. I get cold easily too."
"oh. Are you?"
"what?"
"anorexic."
"oh. No I was last yr. but no I'm um the other thing."
"oh. so was cassie."
"oh."
sO my presumption was cssaie had passed from it.
"do I really have to eat?" lia asked.
"well I won't physically make you but um…" I replied.
"no I know. I'm damn scared to."
"yeah. I know. I get it."
And the thing was. I did. I'd been there myself many times when relapsing lat yr. I heard lia gasp for air breaking the quiet. I knew why.
"breathe normally," I told her knowing it was her anemia.
He did.
"it's those damn stairs," lia aid.
"I know," I told her calmly.
I stayed there w/ her untill 5 when rehearsal ended.
sInce I'd missed rehearsal I didn't know what we'd rehearsed. I was walking down the long hallway when I aw Brittany a few ft. in front of me sitting against a wall. She hadn't been at rehearsal when I'd arrived. I approached her.
"Brittany? Why weren't you at rehearsal?" I asked her looking down at her.
"I'm….really….cold and I….don't have the….ener-" she began looking up at me.
He couldn't finish.
I knew we had to get her somewhere warmer than the school. Down the hall I saw the guy I'd seen previously that day.
"hey you got a car?" I called to him knowing it would be warm.
"no sorry," he called back.
Oh. Damnit.
My next thought was dianna who'd been wearing that big sweater earlier. I saw her come out of the choir room w/ Rachel.
"hey dianna I need to borrow your coat," I told her approaching her.
"um no. then I'd be cold," she said.
"omygod," I said annoyed: "but atm Brittany's colder than you. Than any of us even lia."
Who was suddenly at my side.
"I'd give her my sweater but…." she began.
Then she wouldn't be wearing anything.
"no keep it," I said turning to her.
"yeah come on. Be nice," Rachel told dianna.
"you be nice."
"I am nice!"
"I know things haven't always been fair for you but. Um. Wow. I don't know that I want to date someone who's like this."
"well at least I'm good in bed!"
"oh are you saying I'm bad in bed?!"
I was looking at dianna and Rachel.
"I'd like to see that," puck muttered.
"yeah if you're lucky. You already had both of us," dianna said looking at him.
"and whoa hey what's going on here?"
"dianna won't give Brittany her sweater," I told him looking at him.
"dianna. Cmon."
"no."
"ok since you don't want to….I'll give her mine," puck handed over his black coat.
"thank you," I said taking it from him and putting it around Brittany: "good to know someone around here is nice."
I looked at dianna.
"mmm it's warm. And it smells good," Brittany said.
"I should hope so," puck said smiling.
"let's go," Rachel said to dianna.
They left. As they were leaving Rachel texted me; 'let me know if you need anything'.
'thank you,' I texted back.
"hey you ready?" my 18 yr. old ier Ashley asked appearing at my side: "cause I got dance in a bit."
"oh I'll take them," puck told her.
"oh ok."
She left.
Ashley was going to go w/ me back to our house via the bu and then she'd go to dance. We had a school dance coming up on the 21st. When I'd arrived at rehearsal she hadn't been there and I wondered if she'd come in late or something. Puck was saying he'd take me and my sisters back to the house.
It was nearing 6 and lia, Brittany, puck and I'd just come into my big house. It had gotten dark by the time we got there. Alexa and her 21 yr old. boyfriend tom were sitting on the white living room sofa. They looked our way when we came in.
"has she eaten yet?" alexa asked looking at lia.
"no we just got in will you give us a minute?" I told her looking at her.
"well she needs to and so do you."
"yeah I know."
"is he w/ you?" she asked meaning the new guy.
"no he's not you'll be glad to know."
"ok."
"honey they just came in will you give them a minute?" tom told alexa looking at her.
"no tom I won't. I can't run this household all by myself," she aid looking at him.
"and who said you had to? that's why I'm here."
"I'm the next oldest."
As the next oldest after Ashley she thought this meant when mom wasn't here she was allowed to run the household. she had a hard time accepting help from anyone.
"how long has it been since kate went in for her transfusion?" I asked of my 14 yr. old sister.
"a couple hrs."
"oh."
"oh."
"what do you want to eat?" I asked lia looking at her.
"um. Where's your kitchen?" she asked looking at me.
"right through there."
"ok."
She headed that way.
"I'll get her some blankets and stuff," puck said meaning Brittany.
"ok," I said looking at him.
He went upstairs to get some blanket. Luckily the heat was already on.
"sit down have a drink," my 17 yr. old sister lily told Brittany from the sofa.
"a drink won't help," I told lily looking at her.
"no but it'll distract her."
"oh."
Lily, much like myself and our older brother evan, was v. perceptive and knew when something was wrong. He said what he said cause she knew being distracted would help Brittany.
He was in a long white dress her dark hair down.
Brittany made her way to the sofa and sat down.
"mom's?…." I asked looking at tom.
"I'll get her some blankets and stuff," puck said meaning Brittany.
"ok," I said looking at him.
He went upstairs to get some blanket. Luckily the heat was already on.
"sit down have a drink," my 17 yr. old sister lily told Brittany from the sofa.
"a drink won't help," I told lily looking at her.
"no but it'll distract her."
"oh."
Lily, much like myself and our older brother evan, was v. perceptive and knew when something was wrong. He aid what he aid cause she knew being distracted would help Brittany.
He wa in a long white dre her dark hair down.
Brittany made her way to the sofa and sat down.
"mom's?…." I asked looking at tom.
"you doin anything tonight?" tom asked me.
"no adam might come by."
Adam's my boyfriend. We knew each other from school. We'd met last yr. he was 16 I was 15.
"ok then we're. Going to head out."
"ok."
They stood and left.
They were at the house a lot after school so they could look after louisa, rose and I. mom was often at bar and dad was either w/ jennifer, at the hospital or teaching an art class at the college.
"good now we can have some peace," I said settling on the sofa next to lily.
"yeah I know. You doin ok?" lily asked me looking at me.
"um. I haven't eaten much."
"oh. Yeah me either. Rose should be back. At some point from wherever she is. I'm not sure where that is actually."
"ok."
"Louisa of course is w/ cherie."
"right of course."
Cherie was my sister louisa's girlfriend.
"hey um mandy?" lia called from the kitchen.
"yeah?"
I looked toward the kitchen.
"is it ok if I make some pasta?"
"yeah that's fine."
"ok."
"god alexa should take up drinking. You know something to take the edge off," lily said.
"yeah I know but she won't. After Ashley and evan fell…." I said.
"right no I know."
"where's evan?" I asked of my 19 yr. old brother.
"w/ Rebecca."
Rebecca was his girlfriend. They lived together and had a baby. He was 18.
"right. Of course. How's anna?"
"well she wasn't great today she was sick. Again. Um actually later tonight Louisa's giving her more marrow."
"ok."
anna was 11. She now had cancer was diagnosed last yr.
"I don't know that they'll take the marrow of a drunk person," I pointed out.
"ooh good point. Um….well. Dad'll do it," lily told me.
Puck came back downstairs w/ 2 big fleece blanket which he wrapped brittany in.
"here you go sweetie," he told her looking at her.
He was standing in front of her hen he wrapped her in the blankets.
"thanks."
He smiled.
He thought of her and I as his younger sisters.
I knew while upstairs puck had put our stuff in my room.
"hey you want anything?" puck asked turning to go into the kitchen.
"um no not. Not right now."
"ok."
He left.
"You want any?" lily asked holding up a red plastic cup which I knew had alcohol in it.
"no."
"ok."
At that moment rose came into the house. He was in dark green. Her red hair was down.
"hey who wants dinner?" she asked.
"well I know I'm hungry," lily said.
"ok. Mandy you?" rose asked looking at me.
"well I should so…yeah ok. A little."
"ok."
She went in the kitchen.
"after this I'm going to see my mom," lily told me.
"ok," I said.
Last yr. Lily found out her mom was raven dad's sister who she now lived w/. she'd moved out over the summer.
"and Hannah's coming by to have dinner and then they're going to her parents'."
"ok."
'they' being Hannah and gavin.
and last thanksgiving Hannah found out her parents were mark and lacy, dad's friends from college.
"karen will be back at some. Point."
"ok."
So it would just be me, lia, puck, adam, Brittany and rose in the house tonight.
"how was rehearsal?" lily asked.
"I don't know I didn't go," I replied.
"oh. Yeah I know that's what alexa told me. She was all up in arms about it too you know her. And why? Er I mean why not?"
"yeah I do. I was keeping lia company."
"oh. Lia…lia…I feel like I should know who that I."
"the brunette that' in the kitchen presumably making pasta."
"oh her. He pretty."
"yeah he I. I only met her today. I don't know a whole lot about her other than she apparently doesn't sing."
Hannah and gavin came into the house followed by santanna.
"hey I wanted to see how she's doin," santanna told me coming in.
He meant Brittany.
"ok and hi. You're welcome to stay for dinner rose is cooking."
"ok."
"what is she cooking?" Hannah asked looking at me.
"I'm not sure," I replied.
"oh. We brought some if you want."
"no but alexa should have some. She won't though. Er not that he here to have it but," I aid.
"yeah I know."
We meant pot.
"rose might though."
"ok."
We meant pot.
I filled them in on who was where telling Hannah to tell rose. They went into the kitchen and santanna went and sat by Brittany.
At that moment Rachel came in.
"hey I wanted to see how she's doing," she said sitting on the other side of Brittany.
"yeah so did santanna," I told her.
"yeah so I gathered."
"oh."
I wondered who else would stop by. I noticed that neither roe, Hannah, gavin, santanna or Rachel had taken off their coat when they'd come in.
When Ashley turned 18 which was how old she was now shed moved into her own place which was in our brothers building. They were close. She'd been dating ben from school off and on for almost a yr. she and puck were still close. alexa, Lily, rose and Hannah were also all 17. Louisa and I were 15 and in our 1st yr of high school. Kate was 14 anna was 11 and evan was 19. dad was still w/ jennifer alexa still w/ tom I was still w/ adam. Louisa was still w/ cherie. Ben wa 19 and already in college. Next yr. ashley would be going off to college. Roe and alexa would get their own place though alexa might end up moving in w/ tom.
Ashley was still working 3 jobs and had taken another one as a prostitute. She still took dance. So she still barely got any sleep. We hadn't heard from marie in ages. One day she'd just left never to return. I hoped she was ok.
Ashley along w/ most of the people in the glee club except for me and adam were in their last yr. of high school. I wa 15 he wa 16.
Along the way Ashley had fallen as had our brother only he wasn't stripping or prostituting. Or taking dance. Or cutting. They both along w/ smoking cigs had taken up drinking. And smoking pot. Ashley had developed an eating disorder.
Rose also drank and smoked pot. Hannah and gavin were their suppliers.
Year 3:
