Chapter 5
Uncomfortable discussions
This may be a shorter chapter than all the rest but the best is yet to come! I just wanted to get the "item" out there for everyone. Thanks for all the reviews, keep sending them in cause they really motivate me to write! ENJOY!
Once Derek and Anna came home, it was completely silent between Anna, Derek, and Casey. Everyone else carried on their conversations as if nothing wrong was occurring at all. Once dinner was over, the 3 teens each excused themselves from the dinner individually. Derek went to his room to lock the door and blast his music once again. Meanwhile Casey was already up in her room when Anna came up.
"Anna, I know what happened to you was bad, but I had no idea you were doing this to yourself! You could die!" Casey exclaimed with tears now streaming down her face, but she did not move from where she sat.
"Casey, why, what's wrong? I don't understand." Anna now made her way to Casey's side to gently stroke her hair.
Without saying a word, Casey got up to walk to the jewelry box on the nightstand. She opened the box and took out a large container of prescription pills and thrust them onto the bed beside Anna.
"There! Explain why I found these pills in here!" Casey was now completely shaky and crying with a mixture of sadness, worry, and fear.
Anna slowly picked them up, glanced at them, and looked at Casey. She then wrapped Casey in a gentle hug and pulled away to look her square in the eyes.
"Casey, I'm not stupid, I'm not a drug addict…." Anna softly explained to Casey.
"Then, what are they for because you are really starting to scare me, I don't want to lose you, you're my best friend!" Casey explained still teary eyed.
"I know same here and that's why I wish this stupid incident never led up to this Casey! I couldn't bear to tell anyone from embarrassment and shame, the incident was hard enough to deal with now this, it sucks!" Anna exclaimed as she looked down at the medication.
"If you aren't an addict, what are they for? I swear I won't tell anyone unless you want me to!" Casey swore with her right hand in the air and the other over her heart, she was quiet.
Anna bit her lower lip and looked directly into Casey's eyes knowing this she needed to tell, "Casey, this is called AZT, it's and anti viral medication…"
Casey now watched her intently as she continued,
"I have AIDS." And both girls had never cried as hard as they did that night as they hugged just like they did when they were kids.
There see? I never disappoint! Bet you weren't expecting that one, I'm kinda having a hard time finding how Anna might tell Derek but all I know is it will be awesome! Keep watching out for my newest chapter!
