Davey sighed, "Well, I'm doing better. A lot better actually. Ya know, I don't think I ever fully recovered from last year."

Chapter 1
-----------------
"What do you mean? What happened last year?" I asked.
"I lot of things," he said with a shrug. I took a sip of my hot chocolate and waited for him to continue. After realizing I wasn't going to let him not tell me he sighed, "Well for one, I had to drop out of school."
Davey's comment flew right over me before boomeranging back and hitting me in the head, "Wait, you dropped out of school?" I said in disbelief, "but you were one of the smartest people in our group!"
Davey smirked, "It was only temporarily. Who do you think I am? Spot?" Davey laughed and I just focused on something else; those something else happened to be my shoes. Davey noticed and stifled his laughter, "Sorry. Are you two still good friends?"
"Not really," I said with a sigh. Spot was still a sore subject with me. "But back to you," I said changing the subject.
Davey shot me a look telling me that he wouldn't let me drop things that easily but continued with his story, "Well you know my history with health issues."
"Yea," Davey had the worst luck with health. I don't think I could remember a time where he was healthy for more then a week.
"Well, last year I had six surgeries in fifteen months. I was so sick I was missing three days a week. I had no idea how I was going to make up all the schoolwork I was missing, and it just snowballed. I got sicker and sicker and sicker, then surgery, then recovering from surgery for about a week and a half. Then I would get sick again. It was like a horror movie playing over and over again."
We sat in silence, contemplating on what he had said. "Wow," I said stunned.
"It was bad. I was on so much medication at the time I was like a zombie. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think, I couldn't remember anything."
I think that for the first time in my life I was speechless. I had always known Davey had it tough but I never thought he had it that harsh. Davey must have read my mind because he simply nodded, "Not many people know how hard it was for me. How hard it still is."
"I can't even imagine," I said, still dazed.
"I know you can't," Davey said with a laugh, "you're never sick. I envied you so much."
It was true, I could sit in the pouring rain for hours and not even catch a cold, "True, but you always got the girls. I hated you for that."
Davey laughed, "Yea I did," he said with a lopsided grin, "Too bad I'm gay."
I laughed, "Very true my man, very true."
"Anyway," Davey said, getting back to his story, "After I started getting better, my dad realized how much the medication had fucked me up emotionally. But the doctors knew how to help me with that," he said laughing to himself, "more medication of course! So they put me on Zoloft, which ended up making things worse."
"Zoloft's that antidepressant drug right? The one with the little rock dude that's sad and then takes the medicine and is happy?"
"That's him," Davey said matter-o-factly, "Ya know, you watch way too much television."
"I know. But that's how I know everything I know!"
"Very reassuring."
"Anyway, back to your story."
"Well I started to skip my medication since it seemed like it was making things worse. Not taking the pills helped but I didn't know what to do with all my stuff. So I started selling them."
"Goody goody Davey turned into a drug dealer?" I asked in disbelief.
"The one and only. I just did small deals with students from school that I knew. No big."
"Right no big," I said sarcastically, "But, where was I for all this?"
"I don't know," Davey said seriously, "Where were you?"
