Thanks for all your reviews. Once again I own none of these characters
except for Halo and Madison.
Chapter 5
As Simon got home that day, he found the whole family in the living room.
"Hey Guy's. What's going on?" He said trying to sound cheerful. He feared that Matt had said something. He realised he would have to leave that night or risk the family finding out what he had been doing. He tried to think back to when he first tried E, he thought it was about the time that Madison terminated her pregnancy but he couldn't quite be sure.
"Oh. Uh, Matt and Sarah have set a date. December 15, thats okay with you? Eric said, looking up to Simon.
"Oh yeah sure." He said with a sign of relief. He ran to his room and put his bag down on the floor. He'd been planning this for months now. Now it was time to go he was actually kind of scared. He knew he needed to get away though. He got up and started to get his bag ready. He packed clothes; CD's to sell, a discman, brush (he thought it was lame but he knew he'd need it), and $500 cash. He also stole $80 from his parents. It was about 11:30 when he left. He snuck out through the front door. HE had left a note saying;
Dear Mom, Dad, Everyone,
I'm so sorry. I love you all but I just need to get away. I hope you understand. Don't try and find me. I will call in a week.
Simon
He jumped in his car and started to back out of the driveway. He wasn't sure where he was going. Only that it wasn't Glenoak. Maybe Greenville. At least that way he could maybe crash with Halo.
After about an hour of driving he reached Halo's apartment. He'd only been their once before. He hated the stairs that led up to it. They were old and rickety and he was always afraid he'd fall through. He reached apartment 4 and knocked on the red door. There was alcohol bottles and cigarettes packs everywhere and he swore he sore a rat in the corner. He felt sick just being in a place like this but he knew he'd have to get use to it.
"Halo. You there man? It's Simon. I need a place to crash. Just for a few days."
Halo came to the door.
"What you doin' here mate? It's 12:30. Family Probs? That family of yours always was too good for you. You're much more fun." Halo said, he seemed pretty drunk.
"Thanks. I left home Halo. I just couldn't stand it there anymore. You understand? I just don't fit in there. They don't understand me." He said starting to feel tired. He wondered if anyone had even noticed he'd gone yet.
"I understand. You can sleep on the couch. It was the same with my parents. Come over here, if the pain's that bad let me give you something that'll help. A freebie from me."
Simon followed him into the other room. The room was very similar to the last one, strewn with garbage and a very dim light. In one corner was an old torn lounge. In the other was small dark bookcase, that was full with porn magazines. This was nothing like his house.
"Here. Try this." Halo said, handing Simon the white powder.
"Thanks." Simon said, inhaling the deadly chemicals.
