Chapter 6: The Past
Craig enters the room. He approaches Emma slowly.
"Hi Emma," Craig says slowly. "How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"I just think you should know that taking drugs is a serious issue. You did
damage to your brain. The accident happened because of the drugs."
"Can't you see that I get that already?" Emma screamed. "People keep
telling me that over and over! I get the friggin' point!"
Craig sighed. "I'm sorry for stressing out on you. I'm just glad you're
okay."
"Sorry for yelling, I'm just really exhausted. Thanks for coming."
Craig leaves the room and Ashley enters.
"Emma? How are you?" Ashley says without a breath.
"Calm down! I'm fine!"
"Emma, how can I calm down? You took drugs for god sake! Even after we
apologized to you! Are you crazy? You almost got killed!"
"Would you just shove it? Why couldn't you be sincere like Craig? Why can't
you just be glad I'm okay?"
"Emma, I took ecstasy 2 years ago at my end-of-year party! Toby offered it
to me."
"What?"
"He offered it to me and Sean, only I took it! JT and Toby took it too."
"Sean didn't take it? I'm surprised."
"Anyway, I told Jimmy and I started goofing around like an idiot, breaking
things."
"Oh, I remember! I was at that party!"
"Sean and I sort of fooled around in the other room, you know what I mean."
"Really?"
"Jimmy caught us and started telling me that it's the drugs. I told him
that he wasn't good enough for me."
"Wow."
"I called Paige something really mean and the whole party was pissed with
me."
"Yeah, I was very disappointed myself."
"That's how I lost all my friends and started over, as a goth like Ellie.
Then the goth look got tired, so I went punk rocker to match with Craig."
"That explains Paige being so mean to you. So what's your point?"
"The point is that you're lucky you still have you friends, Emma. You're
lucky you're still alive."
"Thanks Ashley. You made me feel a lot better. Now I understand the
consequences of taking drugs."
Emma gave Ashley a big hug. Ashley then left the room.
I'm glad Ashley, Craig and Manny still want to be my friend, Emma thought,
I have to prepare for my parents though.
Too late for that, Emma's parents just entered the room.
(Emma is lucky that she still has Manny, Craig and Ashley. But what will
her parents say? Find out in chapter 7!)
