Over the next week Lilly's addiction got worse, she couldn't get through the day without having a fix. Jeff and Dixie became suspicious, noticing she wasn't quite right. This was the first time they had seen her in a few weeks, she met them in the ambulance bay they weren't expecting her so it was a nice surprise.
"Lilly" Dixie questioned, seeing what she thought was Lilly standing outside the ambulance bay.
"Hi" Lilly replied to Dixie hugging her, she was wearing a cardigan that covered her track marks up and down her arms, the last time she had a fix was an hour ago so she was still feeling relaxed and calm.
"Where have you been, we have been trying to get in contact for weeks" Dixie asked, still hugging her taking advantage of when she was with Lilly, knowing it may be a while until they could catch up again.
"Just been out" She said, not knowing what she would say if they asked where.
"Yes well you could stop us worrying by keeping your phone on" Dixie felt anxious every time she tried to call Lilly and she didn't reply.
"Since when were you worried about what I get up to?"
"Since we first met you," Lilly smiled, then took a deep breath as the effect of the heroin was still kicking in.
"Princess you ok?" Jeff asked noticing her taking a heavy breath.
"Yeah" She replied snapping out of it, not wanting them to get suspicious. The three of them left the bay, going outside to get some fresh air and continue talking.
"Lilly how are you?" Jay was on his break and he could see Lilly was with Jeff and Dixie outside the ambulance bay.
"Go away Jay" she scowled Jay being the last person she wanted to see.
"Lilly I never meant to hurt your sister" Jay tried moving closer, but Lilly moved back
"But you did" Lilly spat, hating him Polly was never the same after he left her, and Lilly blamed Jay for her sister losing what people called her spark.
"I think she has made her point perfectly clear" Jeff jumped to her defence not wanting to feel Jay's presence any more than Lilly. Jay looked to them, before sighing and leaving he wanted to make it up to Lilly but didn't know how.
"Lilly, me and Jeff have been thinking. We have both been going to counselling, the trust wanted us to. It has really helped, we were thinking maybe you needed it to" Dixie spoke gently waiting for Lilly's reaction.
"No" Lilly replied harshly, backing away from them.
"Why don't you just give it a chance" Jeff tried, he never believed in it either but he was glad he went.
"No" Lilly repeated,
"Please we wouldn't be suggesting it if we didn't think it would help" Dixie really believed that Lilly needed help coming to terms with what has happened.
"It won't help" She snapped, feeling the need of more drugs she only had some a while ago, but all this was getting her worked up, the effect of the drug was being lost making her crave the feeling again.
"Why don't you…" Dixie started, putting her hand on the girl's shoulders.
"Haven't you heard me, I said no" Lilly was adamant she wasn't going to a shrink.
"But Lilly it could really help"
"Is it going to bring back Polly?" She asked, making Dixie look to the ground and shake her head sadly, knowing that Lilly wasn't coping with losing her sister.
"Then it isn't going to help me" she folded her arms, glaring at Jeff and Dixie.
"Please you're not coping" Jeff tried convincing but it was no good.
"How would you know that Jeff?"
"Because I know you, and you are not like this" he said knowing Lilly needed help.
"Let me get this straight, you knew Polly, not me, you will never know me" Lilly turned going back to the home, where she had her small stash hidden in one of her draws. Feeling annoyed, that Jeff and Dixie knew nothing about her and the only reason they were bothering with her is because they worked with her sister.
"Well that went well" Jeff commented, as Dixie left towards the ambulance.
"Hope you are being sarcastic there Jeffrey" She got in the passenger side, rubbing her hands together.
"Of course I'm being bloody sarcastic" Jeff got into the ambulance after Dixie, closing the door behind him.
Lilly made her way back, rushing up the stairs and into her room. Making sure the door was closed she searched through her draws, feeling herself beginning to shake and sweat breathing a sigh of relief as she found the needle, it was already prepared all she had to do was inject it.
Once she was finished she fell on her bed, feeling her breathing slow everything becoming distant her body set into a mode of relaxation. She laid on the bed for a while, before sitting up closing her eyes sat in a daze. After standing up she put the needle back in her hiding place, then looked at the near enough empty amount she had left, only enough for one more fix feeling worried about running out. She knew she would have to get some more today, she called Luke arranging where she could get more of the drug, already knowing the price she would have to pay. But she was so desperate she would do anything, even have sex with the members of the gang.
Going out the home again, Luke was around the corner. She was relieved that he hadn't let her down. When she was opposite him, he moved his hand to her hair stroking it gently. They left until they found themselves at his flat, once inside sharing a kiss. Luke had her on the bed within seconds, on top of her doing as he pleased, knowing this girl was putty in his hands knowing he could do anything to her as she relied on something only he could provide. As he moved his hands to her lower body, he let out a small moan, removing her clothing, then his own.
He then thought of an idea that made sure they both got what they wanted, Lilly wanted heroin, and Luke wanted Lilly… This idea was going to work greatly for him…
