Chapter 10
Drug Bust O.o
It was a Friday night, so Cailey hung with her friends a little longer than usual. Her parents would surely understand, I mean it was Friday. She stumbled her way home through the woods, swaying every which way. She had smoked six blunts in an hour and a half. There was no way that she would be conscious enough to communicate with her parents. That didn't matter at this point anyways, she was busted anyhow. Someone had snitched, but it wasn't Hailey.
She opened the front door lightly shutting it. None of her family was visible. It was oddly quiet for once. She peeked around the kitchen corner; her mother, father, and Hailey were sitting at the kitchen table. They were waiting for her, they needed to talk. Hailey looked into her sisters red, irritated eyes. She knew she was baked.
"Cailey darling, why don't you come have a seat." Cody pulled out the chair in between Bailey and him. Bailey stared deeply into her daughters eyes. Something was wrong, she didn't look herself. She was concerned, but mostly confused as to why she would possibly be doing drugs. Cailey took a seat looking at her mother's worried face. She began to snicker and covered her mouth with her hand.
"What's so funny dear? I don't think anyone's laughing or cracking a joke are they?" Bailey snapped.
"Cails look at you. You're a mess. You have a problem, and you need to address it." Hailey rubbed her shoulder. She knew what her sister was doing, but she had no idea it was this out of hand.
"Cailey sweetheart, your teacher, Mr. Beetles, called today. It seems that you have been acting a bit off in class, your skipping occasionally, and you always seem to be delirious or laughing hysterically at nothing in particular. He gave us a suggestion as to why you may be acting so awkward. I'm going to ask you this once, and only once. Please do not lie to me. Cailey sweetie, are you doing any kind of drugs?" Cody looked serious. He was not in joking matter at all. If Cailey was doing something out of the ordinary they needed to fix it now.
Cailey froze, trembling in fear. She was frightened by her father, but she knew that he was just trying to help. What was she supposed to do though? Lie or tell her family the truth. Cody crossed his arms and his nose flared. Well was she going to reply or what?
"Well…see…I…Yes you guys. I have been smoking…pot. I'll stop though, well try." Bailey's heart sank to the lowest it has ever sunk. A tear rolled down her face. They were so disappointed in her, she had so much ahead of her in life, so many good intentions she could be fulfilling. "Look sometimes I don't feel like I belong. You guys don't really understand me, or give me credit for much of anything. I just needed someone and my friends were there, along with the pot. Smoking was my decision though. I am so sorry I disappointed you all once again, seems I can never please anyone. Why do I try, I always fail. I mean look at Hailey. She kept herself up well and she may not have many friends, but at least she doesn't have any distractions or obstacles in her way. I am a mess, I treat my mom like dirt, I am to worried about what other's will think if I am seen with my own sister. That's my blood and look how I went about that situation! See what I mean, I am ready to just say to hell with it all and give up." She explained, angry with herself
Hailey hugged her sister. Believe me no one would have thought there family would have been the one with a 14 year old drug addict. Now everyone was stuck in uncomfortable situations. How were they going to juggle all of this news at once?
