ToriPOV

Melissa just had to text ,now Jade is even more on edge.I am so tired,I just wanna crawl in bed forever.

I get home and I have to basically force myself to go up to my room.I get inside and I shut the door behind me.I lay down on my bed and I'm almost asleep once my phone rings.

"What?"I groan.

"Vega,you need to come in early tomorrow,round noon."Melissa.

"What? No,I can't I have school."

"Well,looks like you'll be skipping."

"I can't,Melissa."

"You want your money don't you? You gotta pay for that little habit of yours."

"No,I don't.I don't need it."

She chuckles."Yeah,you and Sarah used up the rest you bought today remember?"

I sigh."Look,I'm not coming in early."

"Fine."She says and hangs up.

I plug my phone up as I lay back down.I don't need it.I don't need it.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Oh my god,it's way to early to be up.I'm literally falling asleep standing beside Jade's locker.

"Tori,you okay?"Jade asks.

"Huh?"I ask,pulling my hair out of my eyes.

"Are you okay?"She asks again.

"Damn Jade,be a little quiter can you?"I ask,holding my head.

"Tori?"Jade asks.

"Leave me alone."I say.

I walk down the hall,scraching at my upper arm.I haven't been this sober in a long time,and I hate this feeling.I just wanna crawl in my bed and lay there forever.I look inside Sikowitz's classroom and look down the hall.I gotta go.

I run down the hall,passing Jade in the process.

"Tori?"She yells after me.

I can't I run I'll make it.

I finally reach the club and walk inside.I go back stage and find melissa standing by my mirror.

"I had a feeling you would show up."She says.

I hate the fact she's right.

"Get ready."Is all she says before walking away.

I hate that I'm doing this,but I need it,I just do.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

"Here ya go Vega."Melissa says,hanging me 500.

I take it and walk out.I can't help but think of I left her there alone at school.I blew off my own girlfriend to get this stupid shit.

I sit outside the old burger place again,waiting for my dealer.

"Hey."She says.

"Here,just give it to me."I say,handing her all the money I have.

"Damn,needy?"She asks,handing me three small bags.

"So?"I ask,turning the other way.

I walk down the sidewalk till I find a old building that I can go inside.I go inside and wipe off a table and line out two lines.I don't have a straw or anything so I just put my nose to the dusty table.I take in a deep breath and both of them are up my nose,and I feel better already.

I leave the old,dusty place,only to be caught face to face with Jade.

"What are you doing and what are you wearing?"She asks,crossing her arms.

I look down.I didn't even change out of my performance clothes.

"I'm sorry."I say.

"Sorry just dosent cut it anymore."Jade said,almost crying.

I look up and try to hug her,but she pulls away.

"What?"I ask.

"Tori,you gotta help yourself.I mean,going inside that nasty place just to do a line or two?"Jade asks.

"I'm sorry,I just."I cry.

She pulls me into a hug this time.

"I'm putting you in a rehab,you have no choice anymore."She said.

I nod against her chest.

"Now,why are you wearing this?"She asked.

"Work."I say.

"Work?"

"Yeah.I,um,dance."I say.

"What kind of dance?"She asks.

"Special pays for this."I say.

"Okay,your quitting both."She says.

"It's not that easy."I say.

"Oh,the job will be.I promise you that."She says,almost growls.
