Chapter 6

Bea woke up to Allie running to the bathroom closing the door behind her Bea got up and walked in the bathroom seeing the younger woman face down in the toilet again she grabbed a hair tie out of the drawer she sat by the blonde and pulled Allies hair up her head felt sweaty Bea rubbed Allies back as she continued getting sick when Allie was done Bea helped her back to bed she placed a trash can right next to the bed just in case she got sick again Bea Allie start shivering cold so she covered Allie up with the blanket the girl looked like she had the flu as the day went on Allies withdrawals were getting worse she wouldn't eat she couldn't hold food down even if she tried she pretty much stayed in the bathroom by the toilet Bea right there next to her the next night Bea finally got Allie to take a shower she helped her out of her clothes and turned the shower on for the younger woman

"I'll be right back with some new clothes" Bea said trying not to look at Allies naked body a blush on her cheeks

Allie only nodded getting in the shower Bea ran to her room grabbing a big t-shirt and shorts she came back and set them on the counter

"Allie the clothes are on the counter" no response

"You ok in there" Bea asked but got no response Bea was worried what if allie fell or something she was exhausted

"Allie" Bea decided to check on her when Allie didn't say anything she slowly opened the curtain seeing Allie sitting on the floor her knees to her chest letting the water run on her Allie looked up when she heard the curtain open

"Are you ok" Bea felt stupid for the question of course she isn't ok

"Um can you help me" Allie said standing up slowly holding onto the wall feeling dizzy and like she was going to be sick again

"With showering" Bea asked blushing instantly

Allie only nodded

"Alright then" Bea took off the t-shirt she had on leaving her in her bra and undies she stepped in the shower with Allie grabbing the shampoo running her hands through Allies hair she massaged the shampoo in Bea noticed Allies eyes were closed she quickly rinsed her hair and put in conditioner rinse that to she then grabbed the wash cloth and lathered it up in soap she started cleaning Allies body she couldn't help but to look at Allies body now wasn't the time to be checking her out and I'm not even gay Bea thought this shower wasn't sexual at all but it was intimate to Bea she finished quickly trying to get Allie out before she was sick again she helped Allie out of the shower wrapping a towel on allie then on herself she guided Allie back to the room taking the clothes with her Bea heard a knock on the door who would be here at this time Bea thought

"Ok dry off and put this on there is undies there to I'll be back to check on you the trash can is right there"

Bea closed the door and went to see who was here she peeked through the whole and saw it was Maxine and Franky so she opened it

"She is alive" Franky said sarcastically

"Thank god I've been worried sick Bea"

"I'm sorry but I'm confused" Bea said

"We have seen you and you haven't been answering your phone red"

"Oh yeah I've been busy why are you both here so late or I should say early"

"Busy with what and we were worried so we decided to check on you" Maxine said

"Don't worry about it I'll explain later but you to have to go I'll talk to you both in a few days" Bea said trying to get rid of them so they don't ask questions about Allie

"Red what's going on and why are you in a towel" Franky asked getting annoyed at Bea being secretive

"Nothing" Bea lied

"Bea you're a horrible liar" Maxine said

"I'll" Bea was interrupted when they heard someone getting sick in the other room

"who's that" Maxine said

"Wait here please I'll be right back I'll explain" Bea figured she would tell them tonight cause they won't let it go Bea went to the room where Allie was she opened it and saw Allie face down on the trash can Allie looked up tears in her eyes

"I need them Bea" Allies said Bea knew she was talking about the drugs her need for them was going to get worse Bea set the trash can down

"Hey you don't need them it's hard but you can do it" Bea said pulling Allie into a hug Allie was shaking Bea continued hugging her rubbing her back she felt Allie calming down

"Here lay down I'm going to get you water and some crackers you need to eat something"

When Allie finally laid down Bea got up and left the room she went to her and changed she then headed into the kitchen where Maxine and Franky were sitting on the bar stools at the counter

"Who is here" Maxine asked again

Bea didn't answer right away she was wondering how she should tell them she grabbed crackers out of the pantry

"Red" Franky said stopping Bea from what she was doing

"Allie" Bea said quietly

"What was that" Maxine said not hearing her

"Allie is here" Bea said louder so they could here

"Why" Franky asked

"I was driving home from the shelter when I saw her get dragged into an alley by some man he was going to hurt her he did hurt her he beat her up but I stopped him I brought her here cleaned her up she was giving up drugs before I found her she got sick last night asked me for help so here she is getting clean in my apartment I'm helping her"

"Why didn't you just take her to the shelter red"

"I don't know I couldn't I needed to make sure she was safe"

"Do you even know what you are doing you have never even been near someone who is an addict before" Franky said getting mad

"Yes I do know what I'm doing for your information" bea said getting mad at Franky for questioning her

"Calm down you two and Bea don't forget Franky doesn't know your past only some of it" Maxine said calming Bea down a little it was true only Maxine knew everything

"What am I missing here" Franky said still mad

"My ex-husband Harry was an addict I've gotten him clean before" Bea said not trying to get too much into it

"Shit red I didn't know I'm sorry i shouldn't of assumed you had no idea what you were doing" Franky said feeling guilty

"Well I know Allie is in good hands with you bea" Maxine said

"Why are you doing this red" Franky asked wanting to know

"I keep asking myself that when I figure it out I'll let you know"

"be careful please red"

"Well then we should get going" Maxine said

"Call us if you need anything red and try to get some sleep you look exhausted"

"Thanks I'll call you both later"

"Bye"

"Bye red"

Bea closed the door behind them she looked at the time it was almost 6 in the morning Bea went back into the room to see Allie tossing and turning in her sleep like she was having a nightmare

"Hey Allie it's ok wake up" Bea said shaking her slightly scaring Allie

"Get away from me" she shoved Bea jumping out of bed away from Bea

"Allie it's Bea calm down" Allie calming down a little she began pacing around the room crossing her arms around herself

"Where is my drugs" Allie asked

"You don't have any" Bea said

"I need to get some" Allie said desperately Bea knew this was coming

"No you don't"

"You took them didn't you" Allie said looking at Bea she wasn't herself Allie was getting mad Allie walked out of the room to the bathroom feeling sick all of a sudden Bea followed her in helping her up when she was done she led Allie to the sink

"Here why don't you brush your teeth" Bea said handing a toothbrush to Allie

"Fuck off" Allie yelled slapping the toothbrush out of Beas hand

"I need it" Allie mumbled to herself

"No you don't need them Allie"

"Do you have some I'll do whatever you want" Beas heart dropped

"I don't have any"

"I need to go get them" allie said walking out of the bathrooms making her way to the door

"No allie you aren't leaving" Bea said grabbing her

"Get the fuck out of my way" Allie yelled

"Let me go"

"No I won't let you leave here"

Allie stormed into Beas room trying to get away from her Bea brought some water in with her

"Here drink some"

"No I don't want that"

Bea set it on the end table and sat on the floor while Allie paced back and forth Bea watched Allie go back and forth for about an hour

"It's fucking stifling in here" Allie said trying pull her shirt off Bea got up and made her stop

"Why are you doing this to me"

"I'm helping you"

"No you aren't" Allies fingers going through her sweaty hair Allie grabbed the water glass and threw it causing it to shatter

"I can't do this I can't do this" Allie said over and over

"Yes you can" Bea pulled Allie into her Allie hitting her chest

"Get away I can't do this"

Allie finally gave up trying to get away from Bea she sobbed into Beas chest she cried for a few hours straight Bea eventually sat them both down on the floor she pulled Allie into her allies back to her front Bea wrapped her arms around her waist she finally got Allie to calm down

"Do you want to lay down"

"Yes" Allie whispered

Bea got up pulling Allie with her

"you can lay in my bed"

Allie lay down Bea covering her up

"Can I have some water"

"Of course"

Bea ran to the kitchen and grabbed water she made her way back to her room but Allie was sleeping contently Bea laid down to exhausted she hasn't slept in over two days now she wrapped her arm around Allies waist falling asleep quickly
