"This is what life is about Jamie, pure peace" His best friend Liam says to him after taking a drag from his Joint.
"Definitely" Jamie agrees, smoking from his own joint, which he had got from Liam. He knew drugs were wrong, but no-one ever said they were this good! Anyway it's not like they could ever get caught, they did it in Liam's basement which know one ever went to.
"Was that your dad?" Jamie asks when he thought he heard a noise upstairs.
"No, she won't be home for hours" Liam reassures him
"Liam! Are you down here?" Oscar, Liam's 24 year old brother shouts running down the basement stairs, when he see's the two boys sitting there smoking marijuana, his body stops and he stares at them both.
"What the hell are you two doing?! Both of you put them out!" Oscar shouts moving over to them
"It's not what it looks like Oscar" Liam says trying to calm his brother down
"Yes it is. It's two 16 year old boys smoking illegal drugs, I can't wait to tell your brother's about this Jamie, and I can't wait to tell ma about you Liam! Fair to say you're both dead"
"Please don't tell my brother's Oscar, I swear I'll never do it again" Jamie begs
"You tell them that, go get in my car, I'm taking you home" Oscar says looking at the blonde boy. He had known Jamie his whole life, him and Liam had been best friends for since they were in kinder garden so he had got to know the kid, and his family.
The car journey back to his house was one of the most awkward things he had experienced in his whole life. Oscar kept glancing at him with looks of disappointment before finally saying something.
"Why did you two do it Jamie? You're both good kids" Oscar asks confused
"Don't blame Liam, we were just being stupid, it won't happen again" Jamie says quietly
"Damn right it won't!" Oscar says loudly "If it was up to me Liam would be grounded for life, but hey you got it pretty bad, family of cops, good luck, especially with Danny and his no tolerance for drugs, you know growing up we all tried drugs Jamie, I'll be honest we did, but not Reagan's, Danny, Joe and even Erin never touched them"
"Really?" Jamie asks feeling even more guilty
"Yes really, so I just don't understand how Jamie Reagan; The most protected and looked after Reagan ended up getting caught in drugs"
"Maybe that's why, I've been to protected" Jamie tries to tell himself.
Oscar pulled up next to Jamie's house and got out when Jamie did, he then walked up to the front door with him, grabbed Jamie's arm, but not to tight and knocked on the door. Jamie knew Danny would answer because he had a day off and spent it here. The door opened and there just as he thought, Danny answered.
"Hey Oscar, what are you doing with the kid?" Danny asks confused
"I came home and found Liam and Jamie smoking a joint, they told me they would never do it again, but I thought you should know" Oscar says clearly
"He what?!" Danny asks with his voice raised "Tell me this isn't true Jamie?"
"I'm sorry Danny" Jamie looks at the floor
"You better be, get in here now" Danny says pulling his brother inside angrily before quickly turning back to his friend "Thanks Oscar, I appreciate this"
"No worries, catch you later Danny" Oscar smiles before walking off to his car, when Danny closes the door.

"Danny I-"
"I don't want to hear your excuses Jamie, you don't deserve an excuse, drugs are disgusting and people who use them are worthless, you know that right?" Danny looks at his youngest brother
"Yes"
"Then why? How could you be so stupid to go and take drugs?" Danny asks angrily
"I don't know" Jamie answers quietly
"YOU DO! So give me an answer! Why did you take those drugs?" Danny was shouting now
"It made me feel good, more independent...like no-one could tell me what to do" Jamie almost whispered that last part
"Well guess what kid, I'm telling you what to do! You're going to sit in that living room on your own and you're going to think about what you've done! Just you wait until Joe gets home! He hates drugs even more than me! When he found out that his friend Callum was doing them he made him go to the police! So I'd hate to see how he reacts, when he finds out his little brother was doing them!" Danny shouts at Jamie, who still wasn't looking at him
"Look at me Jamie" Danny shouts and Jamie slowly looks up until he was looking his brother in the eye.
"Just get out of my sight" Danny spits.
Jamie takes a sit in the living room, grateful Danny was the only one home, he couldn't face his parents. He only smoked one joint, that's not too bad, he knows people who smoke one an hour. Danny was making a big deal out of nothing!
No he wasn't, he was right. Drugs are for worthless people, who have nothing to live for. He was so dead. So dead. Ma is going to hate him, so will his dad. Erin will never be able to look at him in the same way, Danny won't talk to him but worst of all Joe will never forgive him.
"HE WHAT?" Jamie heard Joe shout from the kitchen where he had been talking to Danny. He had two options run or face the consequences. When he heard his brother coming up the stairs, he quickly moved over to his window and started to climb out. Hey he never said he made good decisions.
"Jamie!" Joe shouts before even getting to his room, when he does all he see's is his brother making his way out of the window "Jamie! Get back in here!" Joe shouts running towards his brother who looked just looked at him.
"Danny! Danny! Go in to the garden now!" Joe shouts, Jamie was hanging on to the edge of his window, too low for Joe to reach. Jamie looked down when he heard the door and saw his oldest brother standing below him glaring.
"Oh kid! You're so dead!" Danny shouts up at him
"So dead!" Joe repeats looking at his brother
Jamie hung, not knowing what to do, he could easily jump down and he would be fine but then he would be caught by Danny, he could easily make his way back through the window but then he would be caught by Joe. There was only one option just hang and hope they would get bored and leave so he could get down.
"Jamie! Just get down, you can't hang there forever!" Danny shouts
"I can try" Jamie shouts back but even he knew he couldn't, his hands were already losing grip, soon he was just going to fall, it wouldn't hurt, growing up all four siblings used to jump out of that window. The only thing that was going to hurt was when Danny got hold of him.
"Just pass me your hand and I'll pull you in" Joe offers
"So you can kill me? I'm good here thanks brother"
"Suit yourself, I can wait all day" Joe replies sternly
It had been half an hour and Jamie was still hanging there. Joe who now had a bottle of water in his hand, was slowly pouring it over his brother.
"You want to come in yet Jamie?" He asked dripping it over his head
"No, I'm fine, this just means I don't have to shower later" Jamie smirks which makes his brother even angrier
"Kid! I am so going to kick your ass when you get down!" Danny shouts
"Jamie!" There was a very girly shout from behind Danny and he turned to see Erin exiting her car and running over to them.
"What is going on?! Why are neither of you helping him?" She shouts at Danny and Joe
"He won't let us, it's a long story" Danny sighs
"I've got a while" Erin raises her eyebrows at her brother. After Danny had finished explaining what happened, Erin was equally as angry as he was. But before she said anything to Jamie, she quickly turned to Danny "Are you sure he's safe there? What if he falls?"
"That's what we want, Erin you know its fine, we used to jump out of that window when we were like 11, it's soft mud below anyway we never got hurt, did we?"
"I guess so, we need to get him down though" Erin says and Danny shrugs
"Joe, Push him off!" Erin shouts up to her brother
"I can't he's to low for me to reach" Joe shouts back
"Well we can't reach him either!" Danny shouts annoyed, he was about to give up when Erin got an idea, she whispered something to Danny in which he nodded and went to go get something.
Danny came back carrying a ladder from his dad's shed and set it up next to where Jamie was hanging.
"Joe come and stand down here" Danny shouts up to him
"Jamie, climb down this" Danny says to his brother who ignores him "Fine then" Danny sighs and begins to climb up the ladder. Jamie looks at him shocked, he didn't actually think they would go to all this effort.
Once Danny gets to the same height as Jamie was hanging he tried to pull him towards him but Jamie kept kicking him away.
"Come here you little git!" Danny snarls at his brother who just grins back and tries to move away.
"Erin this isn't working!"
"Try Plan B!" Erin shouts up to her brother who smirks and nods.
Danny edges closer to Jamie and sticks his long fingers in his sides causing Jamie to laugh and fight him off, Danny moves up to under his arms making Jamie laugh even more, finally Jamie had to let go from laughing to much.
Jamie falls to the ground and quickly recovers, as soon as he does he makes a run for it, but Joe runs after him rugby tackling him to the floor. Danny climbs down the ladder and all three siblings stare down at their little brother.
"I love you guys" Jamie smiles at them
"Save it kid!" Danny says to his brother pulling him up and marching him in the house followed by his brother and sister.
Danny pushes his little brother down on to the sofa and they all glare at him.
"There are so many things I want to shout at you for right now, so I'm going to let Erin and Joe go first" Danny says
"Jamie! Drugs?! What were you thinking! You're my baby brother! My sweet little 16 year old brother, why are you being so stupid!"
"I don't know Erin" Jamie sighs
"Don't give me any attitude Jamie! You're a disgrace and when ma and dad find out, I doubt they'll even let you live here, off to boarding school it is for you kid" Erin finishes turning to Joe waiting for him, Jamie knew Joe was going to be bad, but he never thought this bad..
Joe grabs Jamie by the collar and lifts him so they were eye to eye, Jamie would never expect this, maybe from Danny but not Joe. Even Erin and Danny were shocked by the out burst.
"I hope you realise how much of an idiot you are Jamie! I always tried to stay calm with you, seeing as you are just a kid, but this, this is just too far! Drugs are not cool! Drugs are dangerous! What about if you died? Then what Jamie, think of the grief ma and dad would feel, they wouldn't be able to cope! What about me, Danny and Erin? Did you even think about that? No because all you care about is yourself and your deluded teenage life. Don't act like you are an adult Jamie, don't act like you know what the world is really like! I have seen so many teenagers like you overdose on drugs and it makes me sick every time but if it was my own little brother, I don't think I could cope" Joe was shouting up until the last sentence, he releases his grip of Jamie and then walks out of the kitchen
"Well to be honest kid, Joe covered it all there but just so you know, he is really disappointed in you, you really messed up this time, just go upstairs until ma and dad are home, they can deal with you" Danny says to a still shocked Jamie.
What had he done? Drugs aren't that bad? Are they?
