Chapter 2

Ruthie made her way through the crowd not knowing anyone around her as they all danced around basically grinding against each other as the adreline of ecstasy and body energy floated in the air. Ruthie had never done any drugs and really never drank before, but tonight she was going to do anything to make the pain go away that Martin had caused her. She went over to a guy who was selling the tablets, Ruthie was scared but was determined she walked right up to him.

"How many miss?" he asked her counting the money he had just recieved, she didnt really know how to reply to that, she thought about it for a secound and he looked up "Miss?" he asked her " 2..that will be good enough" she replied. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a baggy, " 40 dollars" he said. Ruthie dug into her jean pocket and pulled out the money that she had earned for watching Sam and David. She gave him the money and he gave her the pills, she walked away and took them out of the bag analyzing them.She soon took them and when she swallowed she wanted to cry.

Ruthie danced along a little more to music, it had been 10 minutes since she took the drug and now it was kicking in. She wasnt planning on doing anything with any guys or anything just dance with them and thats what she did, she soon got glow sticks,necklaces and bracelets being passed to her. She excepted all of them and carefully put them on, she soon started dancing more to the techno beat. Soon a few hours had passed and Ruthie could feel herself growing tired, she made herself through the crowd and out into the field where her car was parked. She was very dizzy from the drugs affects and could barely walk straight, she walked over to her car and got in more like falling.

She fumbled with the keys, but soon had them in the ignition, she turned the key over and pulled out of the parking space, she knew she was messed up and shouldnt be driving but what would she explain to Meredith, and she didnt trust leaving her parents car there.

Luckily she made it to Merediths house without crashing, or getting into any trouble. She stumbled as she got out of the car and made it to the backdoor of Merediths house, she opened the door, and stumbled in, closing it lightly. She started walking towards the daybed and layed down, she then felt something moving, she let out a little yelp and got up falling back on the ground.

"Ruthie?" a voice asked.

"Yeah whos there?" Ruthie asked scared getting to her feet looking at the figure on the couch sitting up, she soon saw the bleach blonde hair.

"Skylar?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said standing up facing her, "What are you doing here this late?" he aske her. Then he realized what was going on, the glowing jewlery pretty much gave it away. He was shocked though he was at total lost of words.

"Ummm...here you can take the day bed, I'll just go over on the couch." he said going over to the couch and laying down.

Ruthie totally out of it layed down and passed completely out.
