Chapter 5
When I woke up the next day, I almost passed back out from the pain. I decided to stay inside mostly today. I'd wait until it was tonight and I could get my fix. Then I remembered I had to go see Danny. I got up and got dressed with a few moans. I walked trying to hide the pain and then I went into Danny's shop. He wasn't there. I cracked a small smile and then winced, he must have been sick today. I limped up to the guy at the counter.
"Will you tell Danny, Duo came by?" I asked him. He looked at me strangely but finally nodded.
"Thanks." I gasped as fire clawed up through me. I limped back out and made my way home as fast as I could. I mostly just lay in bed trying to ignore the pain that wouldn't go away. Finally, it was eight o'clock. I staggered back down to David's office and knocked on the door, he let me in and I handed him the money. He took it and stuffed it into a pocket.
"How are you doing?" He asked me, as if he really cared.
"It hurts, my fix." I moaned as pain hit me again.
"You'll get your fix soon, but I have a new drug I want to try out. Will you let me try it on you?" He asked me sounding for all the world, like a nice elderly man. Alarm bells went off in my head.
"N-no. My fix." I stuttered. My body nearly gave out on me, clearly it was not happy with my decision to say no. It wanted a fix.
"If you let me try out my new drug on you, you can have your fix. Think of how it will feel, free of all pain again. You can be happy and it won't hurt anymore. You want to make me happy, right?" He asked. Fear clamored up at the thought of not making David happy. It is good to make David happy. He just wants to make me more addicted. I get my fix if I let him give me the drug. But I'll lose all chance of getting away. It hurts and the pain will go away. Not another drug. It's just one more, wanna make David happy, David happy = no pain. I don't want to become more dependant. IT HURTS! The different sides fought in my head. Pain rushed through my body and I fell to my knees, a soft scream tearing from my throat as my body started shuddering.
"OK." I said, the word falling out of my mouth before I thought about it. I shuddered again. "Then I get my fix, right?" As long as I get my fix everything will be OK. My body continued to ache.
"Yes. Now come over here and I'll give you your fix." I managed to stand up after my second try. See? It's good to make David happy. I walked over to the medical area with him. He pulled out a syringe with a blue drug in it. My eyes lit up. My fix! He injected it into my arm and I felt the insane smile start to creep across my face. Almost immediately the drug began to make the pain disappear. Then he pulled out another syringe, this one had a red liquid in it. He stuck it in my arm. "Now hold still this might hurt a little." He injected it into my arm. Fire lanced through my veins and I heard myself screaming, then all of a sudden everything went black.
