Chapter 21
Mandy's POV
Torrie and I went out for dinner after the party. Adam asked me if I would stick around a bit when most of the people left, but I didn't feel much like being around him so I told him that Torrie and I already had plans. Torrie chimed in stating that it was true, we were going out to dinner.
"What am I going to do, Torrie?" I asked sipping on my water. She looked across the table at me and sighed.
"I don't know hun, maybe you should just confront him about it," She replied. I just didn't know how to do that. If I knew him as well as I thought I did, he would just turn it around asking what I was doing in his bathroom in the first place.
"He's going to find out that we were snooping and then I'm going to look like the bad guy," I explained, "I'd blame the whole thing on you but I'm still a co-conspirator."
"Well, I'm glad to know that you would stick up for me!" Torrie teased, "That's beside the point anyway, he is the one with the issue, not you. Don't let him change the subject on you."
"I guess so, but I just have this horrible feeling. I can't believe this is happening!" I ran my fingers through my hair. It was an act of nervousness.
"Will you stop? You are feeling guilty about something you have no right to feel guilty about. You care about him and that is what the important thing is here. Do you want him to continue hurting himself? Plus, how would you feel if something really bad happens to him and you had the chance to help him beforehand and you never did anything about it?" She had a point. If something happened to him and I had the chance to stop it I think I would kill myself.
"You're right. I have to do something," I stated. Certain things were starting to make sense now. Like why our dates were so spread out. He was probably using during the period in between. I had never seen him high when I was out with him. He probably made sure not to be using when around me. I felt really bad for Danny. How much had she seen? Would he use in front of her?
"What about the kid?" it was scary sometimes how alike Torrie and I were.
"I have no idea, but I'm gonna find out. I'll call him tomorrow and ask to meet somewhere. We are going to have to have a long talk," I replied. Torrie shook her head.
"Good, that's what you need to do. Want me to come with you? Things might get messy," She asked. I thought for a minute.
"That might not be such a bad idea, but I want to talk to him alone. I'll bring my cell so I'll call you if I need you. Make sure you are on standby," I sipped my water again.
"Okay, I understand. You guys should work it out by yourselves!" she agreed, "plus, it might not be as bad as it seems. He did have that neck surgery. He probably got the painkillers then."
"That would explain maybe one or two bottles, but a whole cabinet? I don't know, I just really want to find out the truth," I exclaimed.
(AN-Ah, finally someone noticed I was naming my chapters after Evanescence Lyrics! Yeah, I'm in love with their music. Lizzie, where do you think I got the idea for the story? Okay...R&R!)
