Chapter 4: Torture

STEPHANIE'S POV

I woke up with a splitting headache and no memory of my last trip. I'm guessing it was good since I'm not all freaked out. I've never had a bad trip, but I've witnessed some people that have.

"What are these?" Sage shoved a baggy of pills in my face. I blinked and when my eyes focused I realized they were mine.

"Uh...LSD pills?" I replied, trying to play the innocent dummy I rubbed my eyes and rolled over onto my side. Hey look, I'm in a bed!

"Don't play stupid, Steph. Why are you using them?" Sage was in hysterics! Why doesn't she act like that when Amanda and Belle get high/drunk. Oh yeah she doesn't know about them.

"I never said I used them," I lied easily.

"I found you with them in the bathroom," Dally was standing over my now too.

"It's just some pills, no biggie. It's not like I'm an addict," I sat up and looked the two of them in the eye.

"Okay, so you won't mind if I dumped them do you?" Sage didn't wait for an answer before chucking them in the garbage. She exited the room, leaving Dallas, my ex-love, and I alone.

"I never thought you'd become some dumbass druggie. I thought you were smarter than that Steph."

"I'm not a druggie. Besides everyone's taking some kind of drug. If they're that popular they can't be to bad," I tried to smile, but his cold eyes, that held a hint of disappointment, wouldn't let me.

"If everyone was going to hang themselves by an Oak tree would you?"

"If it bothers you that much I'll just stop."

"No you won't, once you're hooked, you're hooked."

"No I'm not Dallas, it's not like I signed a contract when I took them," I insisted, getting a bit angry.

"So why'd you really take them?"

"I just told you, everyone else is."

"Your not that complicated sweetie, I can see right through your lies."

"It's personal," I snapped.

"Personal?"

"Yes, which means I don't want to tell you."

"You know you've been acting real witchy since you've been home. What's your problem?"

"I don't have a problem!"

"Yes you do, don't lie to me. What is it?"

"I don't trust that little Summer sleaze," I grumbled. I just couldn't lie to him.

"Oh so your jealous?" he smiled.

"No, I just don't trust her.."

"Sure baby, believe what you want, but your jealous!" he kept smiling.

"I'm not, it's just she changed you into mush, your like play-do, and she's sculpting you into her dream of month."

His smile faded a bit, "She isn't changing me it's just after you left I figured it doesn't matter how hard and tough you are, you can still get hurt. I just softened up a bit around girls, especially Summer."

"What kind of name is Summer anyway?" I snarled, and got up. I walked over to my dresser and took out a roll of money, then counted it up. I wonder how much a bag of Acid costs around here.

"I like it. But I'm not here to talk about Summer, I'm here to talk about you," he got up and walked over to me. He ran his fingers down my arms, while his hot breath tickled the microscopic hairs on my neck.

"Stop being such a playboy," I growled and walked away from him, stuffing the money into my purse.

"You know you love it," Dally sat back on the bed, smiling up a storm.

"I love being teased as much as I love getting shot."

Dallas just smiled and grabbed my hips, pulling them to him. He kissed the small sliver of skin peeking out between my jeans and my t-shirt. This is what I hated about Dallas. He didn't care about how much this teasing killed me. I knew I couldn't have him, and he knew I couldn't have him. Yet, he goes on with this playing. Which is all it is to him, I'm just some game he can play around with, see what buttons unlock what secrets.

"Dally let go of me, I have to go.." I pleaded.

"Where you going babe?" he asked between pecks.

"The store, I need to get some food. C'mon Dal!" I struggled out of his grip.

"Fine," he sighed, but kept on smiling like a wolf. I just shook my head and walked out.

"Stephanie where are you going?" Sage nearly screamed. I sure did scare her.

"Sage.." Amanda warned her. She understood me, she took drugs too.

"What? I don't want her getting high again."

"Don't worry mommy, I'll be fine," I smiled at Sage assuring her.

She sighed, and shook her head. "If I find you with drugs, I'll make sure you don't go anywhere alone, ya hear?"

I just laughed and headed out the door.

"What's up Cat?" I walked into some hippie-house. There's a bunch of them there, most of them high, and the others babysitting newbies.

"You know where I can get some Acid?" I asked the blond-haired chick that greeted me.

"Go see Gonzo, he knows where it's at," she spoke in a daze, and pointed to a good looking guy in about his early twenties.

I walked up to him, "Are you Gonzo?"

He nodded, "What can I do you?" I could tell he was a pusher, and wasn't one to use his products.

"I have fifty dollars, how much Acid can I get with that?"

He smiled and we started talking business.

"Don't take to many at one time. They're pretty strong doses," Gonzo, who's real name was Adam, warned.

"I know what I'm doing."

"Hey and Steph," he stopped me from walked out the door.

"Yes?"

"If you ever need a babysitter, give me a call," he smiled charmingly and handed me a piece of paper. I nodded, smiling a bit and walked out.

I walked almost halfway home and then opened up the paper. On it was his name and his number. I folded it back up and stuffed it into my purse, next to my new batch of drugs. This should get me through the next month or two. I just hope no one finds them, cause I'm sure Sage is ready to kill me.

I know it was pretty short, but it's all my brain could think off. My dance recital is soon and I've been practicing my dances like a billion and three times. Hopefully my brain will be more creative next time. Love you all! Toodles!
