Chapter 6

(I know this chapter is short but I won't be updating this weekend so I thought I'd leave you with this:) )

"James! I'm home!" Darcy's voice called from downstairs.

I panicked, looking at the substances I had laid out on the bathroom counter.

I quickly began inhaling the white powder, feeling an immediate reaction.

I felt full of energy. Like I could do anything.

"James? Where are you?" Darcy asked again and I could hear her footsteps on the stairs.

I finished off the last bit of powder before throwing the box and bags away.

"HI DARCY!" I said, flinging open the door.

"...Hi? James, are you okay?" She asked, looking at me.

"Fine? Of course I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be fine?! I'm perfect! Happy! WONDERFUL!" I said, bursting with energy and feeling my heart begin to race.

"James, calm down." Darcy said, holding my shoulders.

"I just...feel like I could do anything! I BET I COULD FLY IF I TRIED!" I said, starting to hallucinate and running to the window, opening it.

"JAMES! What the hell?! No!" She yelled, pulling me from the window and closing it, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She asked, grabbing my shoulders.

I started to feel a pain in my chest, my heart racing faster.

Darcy looked into my eyes.

"James, did you..." She trailed off, "No, you promised me you wouldn't." She added, Letting go of my shoulders and beginning to walk away.

Danny came running upstairs.

"DANNY!" I said, excitedly.

"Jamie! You're so full of energy tonight! LET'S PLAY!" Danny said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to his room.

I felt the pains in my chest getting more and more painful and frequent.

It was probably nothing.

I leaned against the doorway, my vision starting to double.

I grabbed my chest, feeling the pain growing more.

Suddenly, I felt myself collapse. I grabbed my chest, yelling in pain.

"James? James! Get up, James! MOMMY!" Danny yelled, kneeling down beside me.

The pain was unreal and my vision was blurring in and out. I kept ahold of my chest, praying the pain would go away.

Why did I have to do it? Why did I have to get high one last time?

Because I'm an idiot.

My vision was blurring more and more. I remember Darcy standing over me, frantically calling 911.

"James, please don't close your eyes. Please stay with me." I heard her repeat numerous times.

I grasped onto her free hand, squeezing it. I felt hit tears stream from her face, hitting my shirt and my hand.

"James, please don't close your eyes." She said through her tears.

I felt my eyelids getting heavy but I desperately tried to keep them open.

It was no use and I felt them slowly closing, blocking my view from the world and everything started to fade away.

I remember my grasp on Darcy's hand slowly growing weak as she started crying harder.

"James, please stay with me. The paramedics are almost here. Please." She kept repeating as my eyes closed shut.

"No! James! Wake up. Please wake up! Don't leave me!" I heard her say before everything went dark.
