Reid.
"Yeah okay...Okay how many weeks now? ... 3? Wow that's not a lot, get here soon okay? Friday? ...Yeah okay, Bye Love you," I hung up the phone and shoved it back in my pocket. I noticed the halls were deserted; it was like a ghost town. I walked back to dorm and collapsed on my bed. For a minute I wondered where Tyler was and why there was sick in the sink. I got off the bed and walked around our room, there were cans of alcohol everywhere. The stench was un-bearable. Now I know why there was sick in the sink. I used to clean up the mess, I used to recycle the cans, I used to open the curtains and windows and used to get rid of the smell. I used to change my clothes, and again to wash the ones I had just taken off. And soon everything was normal again. My eyes stayed black. There was a tingling of electricity through my veins that made me feel powerful. Made me feel safe.
My phone vibrated and started playing SuperMassiveBlackHole.
I looked at it. Lex has sent me a text.
Quit with the damn U-I-G will you!
You're glad I haven't told Cale, stop it not or pay the price. And I'm not talking about what is happening to Will
What the hell? How did she know?
My eyes immediately flashed back to blue, almost like her presence was with me, her soft voice bringing me back to normality. I suppose using gave me that same effect as her. Power and Security.
I tried to think about other things, like the summer shenanigans, the first time we went camping without Lexa, when we got completely smashed and ended up on the roof of Nicky's with a pair of Portuguese twins. Oh man time ticked by so slowly.

Vibrating throughout the room, loudly and imposing. Rumbling through my head as a constant reminder there was not much time left.

I lay on my bed listening to minutes; that felt like hours tick by as constant frustrating noise, like a fly trapped on one side of the window, the way is clear but you are not clever enough to get out.

I felt my eyes flare, morphing into the black desire. I couldn't. I shouldn't. I looked at the clock and held it between my fingers. The metal was cold and dead. The longer I stared at it, the more the clock face resembled two black eyes staring right back at me. It was calling out to me...
Reid
Use
Reid
Use.
I felt myself slipping into the state of unconscious using. No Reid, don't do it. Lexi would hate it. This is bad for you.
I shook my head violently and threw the clock across the room. It hit the wall and the sound stopped. The room was eerily silent. Not a single sound rebounded from the walls. It was just silence. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I shuddered.
"You are losing it Reid," I said to myself; rubbing my eyes and heading for the sink. I filled it with cold water and splashed my face. The water was ice cold but refreshing on my skin; it was tired. I was tired. I grabbed a towel and rubbed my face trying to shake of the thoughts. I raised my head up from the cotton towel and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I hardly recognised myself. I looked older? I ran my fingers over my face examining the new dents and engravings.... I WAS older. I felt a sudden rush of anxiousness. My ascending. My hands started to shake as they ran over my face. I gripped onto the sink with my other hand and exhaled. I think for the first time in my life I was scared.
I jumped half a mile when my phone began to ring. My trembling hands grabbed my phone and the carefully raised it to my ear and coughed trying to get rid of the large lump in my throat.
"Hello?"
"Reid?" Tyler's voice mumbled down the phone, he sounded ruff.
"Hey Baby Boy," I said trying to sound cheery.
"Don't tell Caleb,"
"Okay?"
"I am in Jail, I need you to come bail me out,"
"You think I have that kind of money!" I shouted down the phone at him.
"Reid, please."
"Only because you are my best friend Ty, I will be there in about 5 mins."
"Thanks Reid."
I hung up the phone and dropped it in the sink I lost all sense, everything was beginning to look messed up. I mean I was Dumb struck. Tyler?! In...Jail. I thought I was the lost cause. Makes you wonder what the hell actually happened to get him in there. Maybe it was just speeding.
I fucking hope it's just speeding.
Meh, sorry (for the full apology with explanations visit my profile :P)
