Narcotics
"It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy"
Drugs smell bad.
I'm shoving a dealer towards the man with handcuffs, and the wind blows a whiff of freshly grounded cocaine and marijuana into my nose. I nearly gag, and tears burn at my eyes. The dealer sees this, and flashes a toothy, yellow grins. He calls me a boy scout, and ask me if I've ever smelled the "hard stuff". I'm about to counter that marijuana isn't so much "hard stuff" then something a fourteen year old could find. I don't, though, and a police officer forces his head into the cruiser, and the door slams shut.
Another one, the police cheif, I guess, hands me a bag of white powder, and ask me ("giver take") how much I think it is. I have too breathe through my mouth, and my hands begin to sweat. My heart races, and images flash through my mind like lightning. I weigh the bag in my hands.
"...a few pounds. Maybe more."
The officer nods and takes it back. I start to back away, towards the T-Car, where Cyborg and Beast Boy have taken residence. They are laughing, and joking, and shoving each other by the arm. I approach them with my face stiff.
Cyborg looks up, "Ready to go? Star ordered pizza."
I shrug, and jerk my shoulders into something resembling a shrug. They nod, and continue their laughter. Cyborg hops into the drivers seat, and I slide into passenger's. The wheels begin to roll, and I watch the police lights disappear behind us.
"Dude, you okay?" Beast Boy ask from the backseat, "Your pretty quiet."
I want to say I'm fine, but the thing that comes out of my mouth is, "Drugs smell bad."
They snort, tell me things like, "no shit," and "what d'you think they'd smell like?". I don't respond, and keep my eyes out the window. The city passes in a blur of lights and smoke.
I had drugs in my hands, I think. Again.
Author's Note: I don't remember what my intentions were with this one. I wrote it a long time ago, found it, and I'm all like, "okay...drugs...narcotics...N...okay...". This fic is kind of about cleaning out my foldiers and stuff, so sorry if it doesn't make sense. Feel free to elaborate all you want.
