True Scars Never Heal
Ch 5: Harder To Breath
Radio Free Roscoe
I went to the medicine cabinet and got the aspirin, the results of my last over-dose had just worn off, but since it got me away from the world for at least a little while, I took another 8 pills, and watched T.V. until that familiar dizzy feeling returned...
I woke up 5 hours later, my mom was home, hopefully she hadn't talked to me, or even visited me, I was Over Dosed, I felt like a truck had hit me, the pain in my hand returned, I left and went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, was this me? A pale girl with messy hair, shades of purple under her eyes, and her eyes were so dark it was scary. The effects of the aspirin hadn't worn off, I was a druggie. I heard a phone, oh the ring hurt my head so much, it rang again, more pain through my head, I ran to get the phone before more pain jolted from my neck up.
"Hello" I asked groggily with a low tone to my voice.
"Lily? You sound different" He asked.
"I know, I know, I'm not doing so well, I'm probably not going to school tomorrow"
"Oh, well I'm coming over to give you your homework, I collected it for you"
"Thanks, I thought you were still mad at me?"
"I guess I am going to have to talk to you when I get over there"
"Ok, I will talk to you soon"
"Ok, Bye Lily"
"Bye Trav"
That was it, the boy I had fought with was coming over, while I was in the middle of an OD, this wasn't good, he could notice I looked different, it was as obvious as the sky was blue, I was scared he was going to tell my parents, then I would go to counciling, my life was just spinning down the drain. ding-dong oh the pain when through my head din- it got cut off, my mom answered the door I heard voices coming from downstairs, it was Travis and my mom, then I heard footsteps, I wasn't ready my hair was in a mess and my OD was still in effect, it was dying off, but I needed to get over it in 5 seconds, and there was no way I could do that.
Knock
The first one takes me a little off guard
Knock-Knock
The second one just sends pain to my head
Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock
The third know made me answer it.
"Hi Travis" I said putting a fake smile on trying to hide any OD after effects.
"Lily what happened to you"
"Just slept a lot today that's it, no time to straighten my hair or anything"
"Alright Lily" hands me, the books, my hands weren't prepared for the amount the books had weighed and dropped them square on the floor. When I knelt down my bottle of aspirin dropped out of my pajama pant pocket, Travis leans down to help and grabs my aspirin bottle without me noticing. He looks at it and notices the over-dose after effects. Drowsiness, Dizziness, Weakness, Nausea, and Bags underneath eyes. He looked at me picking up my books, I grabbed tightly on the wall while standing.
"Wow, got really dizzy there for a moment" I laughed a little and placed her books on my bed.
"You-You dropped these" Travis handed me the bottle, I fiercily grabbed it from him
"Thanks" I mumbled almost silently.
"Lily, are you by any chance taking more then 2 pills at a time"
"WHAT? I mean what? Why would I do something like that"
"Lily" he began, he knew she was over-dosing on aspirin, he also felt tears coming to his eyes, "I know you are taking more then the average dose of aspirin, why though Lily?" asking truly concerned.
"Because Travis", I began, "You and I practically lost our friendship, Me and Ray really have to talk about our relationship, and I found aspirin and it takes me away from the world for a little while" I finished with tears, this was nothing new for me. I had become this weak little child almost, who lost it's way, and then found his way by becoming an aspirin addictive. He hugged me and I cried into his shoulder, which wasn't a big thing anymore, I had never cried this much in my entire life, and now I needed to make the biggest choice of my life.
"Travis" I said, wiping a tear away from my eyes.
"Yea Lily?" he questioned, being one of the most concerned people I had ever known.
"Does this mean we are friends again" I questioned nervously
"Of course Lily it would take forever for me to get truly mad at you"
"Thanks Travis" I smiled, amazingly real this time, me and Travis stayed there and talked, one thing was right in my life, but there was still Ray, the one guy I loved. I was still mad and sad, So when I left I noticed Travis had taken the pills with him so I went to the store to get more, Travis cared, but he was a little slow that I could always buy more. I got home at 12 midnight, I took 8 pills again and felt so much better I slept until morning. When my mom woke me up, I tried to tell her to let me stay home, she wouldn't let me. My head hurt, I was dizzy and today it was weird but it's like it was harder for me to breath. I got dressed and tried to get me to look presentable, but of course, my OD hadn't left, so I had pale skin and bags under my eyes, wow today was going to be an interesting day of school.......
