"It's getting kind of late, maybe you should go home"
"Not yet"
Her hungry mouth was assaulting his, her body pushing into him He felt his arousal grow, but also knew this wasn't what she wanted, needed right now He broke their kiss
"Why don't you wanna go home?"
She rested her head against his shoulder, she felt his erection against her leg but welcomed the sensation
Her voice was soft, breathless "I don't wanna face my father right now"
He pulled away from her to look into her eyes "Didn't you talk to him last night?"
She sat up, fidgeting her hands
"I kindof uhm didn't go home last night"
He felt concern bubble up inside of him "Where did you sleep?"
She clenched her jaw at the memory "With an old friend"
"What aren't you telling me?"
He tilted her head to face him "He was my uh drugdealer"
He ran his hand up her arm "Tell me you didn't"
His eyes were pleading, and she wanted to lie to him, but she knew she couldn't She rolled up her sleeve, for him to see the fresh trackmarks, in the crook of her elbow His thumb stroked the sensitive skin of her arm, his eyes were dark
"I thought you were clean"
She nodded
"I was, I had been for ten months"
He cupped her soft cheeks
"So why..?"
"It's the only way I know how to deal with things My mom was an alcoholic, My dad hides in his work And I shoot up"
His expression was blank
"I'm not trying to make excuses, what I did was wrong, I know that"
He look at her intensely, trying to read her eyes
"Are you gonna do it again"
"I don't know"
Disbelief flashed across his features
"I'm an addict, look, right now I don't plan on it but I don't know"
He took her hand in his, brushing her knuckles with the bad of his thumb
"Sara, I can't be with you if you're on drugs"
She nodded, got up and moved to leave he caught her arm, turning her around to face him
"I don't want you to leave, I want you to tell me that you'll stay away from that stuff"
She wanted nothing more than to fall into his arms
And that's exactly what she did
"I'll try"
His arms tightened around her
He whispered against her neck
"If you really don't wanna go home, you can stay here"
She pulled away from the warm comfort of his body "No, I should go, get this over with"
He kissed her cheek
"Can I walk you home"
She kissed him on the lips
"Yeah I'd like that"
