And I'm posting two chapters up tonight because they are both really short and I feel bad [. So you lovely people get two wonderful chapters tonight. Reviews are greatly appreciated . Constructive Criticism only.
Sirius burst into the boys' dormitory to find James, passed out on his bed. There was a syringe in his hand and a cigarette in an ashtray directly next to him.
"Damn it, James!" he said pulling him up to sit up in his bed. "He better not throw up," he muttered to himself
"James!" he yelled in his face "Oh, come on." He muttered again, slapping his face a little
"James! James!" his eyes slowly fluttered open and he grinned "Hey, Siri..." his voice trailed off, really slurred.
"How much did you take James?" he said sitting him up straight so he wouldn't throw up. James eyes began to flutter shut again
"No! James! Its awake time! Time to stay awake…" James was so out of it, Sirius knew that he wasn't getting through to him, "Damn It James, you told me I'd never have to use this!" He pulled a tiny vile of potion from his pocket and poured a bit into James' mouth.
"Come on! Swallow!" A few minutes after James had swallowed the potion, his eyes fluttered open to stay this time.
"Oh. Sirius…man, I'm sorry…I guess I just got a little carried away." Sirius shook his head.
"James…you said you had this under control. It doesn't look very under control to me."
James sighed, "Its fine Sirius, it was an accident okay, just chill out." He picked up his cigarette collapsed onto the bed and took a drag.
"James, I feel like I got you into this…I'm going to get you out, man. This isn't you, you're losing it." James rolled his eyes.
"Turning into Lily now are you?" he snorted, throwing the cigarette aside, Sirius rushed to step on it, and then said "She's just trying to help, man; she misses you, the real you, the one who told her the truth and didn't blow her off." James sighed deeply and sat up
"Listen, I'm going to quit, I swear, I just needed one last high man, that was it. I'm done. I'll fix everything with Lily, and my schoolwork, and it'll be fine, alright? I promise." Sirius sighed and nodded.
"I better not ever have to use that potion on you again."
James grinned "Don't worry about it. You won't. I'm going to shower. I'll meet you at dinner."
Sirius watched him walk to the shower and sighed heavily. He wished he could tell him all the things he was risking if he kept going with this, but he'd only be hypocritical. When he was far into the stuff, he never let anyone tell him what to do. He had thought James could handle it, that he wouldn't turn into a junkie. But he guessed no one was strong enough to not succumb to the pull of the sweet high.
He sighed, collapsing onto the bed. James would stop, and Sirius would make sure of it.
A/N: intense? Yeahhh. Do that review thing you do so well .
