Reality
Chapter 17

20 minutes later, I turned into a parking lot of a drug therapy building. I saw Bam waiting outside.

"You know, you're supposed to wait inside with the therapist, Bam." I said.

"I know, but I was hungry and I wanted to be able to get home faster." he replied. He was being much nicer since his therapy started. As we drove home, I had a flashback.

flashback

I sat up in bed and listened for my dad to come in. Bam walked into the house at 2:00AM and tried to creep upstairs to his room. He just got back from Finland. Suddenly, he saw the downstairs lights come on. That's when I cracked my door open and looked out. He had stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. Jade and Dico were standing there. Jade had her hands on her hips and Dico with his arms crossed.

"Well, hello, Mom and Dad." he joked. They just kept staring at him. Dico walked up to him and grabbed his collar and drug him back downstairs. "Hey! Take it easy, man." he said. He was obvoiusly drunk.

"Well, would'ja look at what we had catched!" Dico said in a silly voice. Jade chuckled but got serious when Bam faced her. She walked over to the couch and picked up a bag. She held it up.

"So, what's this, Bam?" she asked.

"It's a wag." Oh yeah, Bam was drunk.

"A 'wag'? A wag of what?"

"Wowder."

"Huh? Oh, powder."

"No, Mr. Drunk. It's crack."

"Wrack?" Dico laughed slightly. Jade shot him a look which made him stop.

"No! What is crack doing in your room?" Jade asked. He looked up at her.

"Where is Raab?" Jade went up and smacked him in the face.

"Wake the hell up!" she yelled, making the lights in Dunn's room switch on. "Raab died! Remember?"

"Who's Raab?"

"God dammit, Bam! Listen to me!" Jade said, getting teary. Dico looked at her and back up at Bam.

"Dude? What the hell? You just made your sister cry!" Dico and Jade slapped him both at the same time on the opposite sides of the face. I shut my door to my room and lay back down on my bed crying.

"Sami? Kid, what's wrong?" he asked. I wiped a tear away from my eye.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." I said, sniffing.

"Okay." He patted me on the back and I turned into our driveway.
