Ty-
The bottle crashed against the pavement, glass exploding in different directions. Then she was gone, back inside the brightly lit station. I tried to stand, called out her name, but a force pushed me back down.
"Get that crap out of your system, before you go in there and appologize," a girl said.
The rough pavement scraped against my arm and I felt the burn of breaking skin followed by the sticky feeling of blood. A trail of swear words raced through my mind, a few slipping past my tongue. I couldn't stop if I wanted too, I wasn't strong enough. So I kept drinking. Most teenagers would think it was great if their parents let them drink, even bought them alcohol. I thought it was great too. Then I got addicted. It stopped being a party and started being a way of life. And when I managed to be sober my parents were a mess.
The bus pulled up and the others started filing out. I watched Alan climb onto the bus and when she didn't even bother a glance back at me something inside broke. I left the five empty and one shattered bottle on the curb and used my back pack for a counter weight when I stood up. The bus driver eyes me warily but let me pass. We took off with a jolt, sending me stumbling forward in to Alan. We fell into a seat together and I couldn't suppress the drunken laughter that spilled out.
"Get off of me," she said, pushing me back. But I blocked the aisle.
"Just lemme talk to you," I said. The cold wind whipped against my face and I could feel the buzz start to ware off. When you're and addict it's never enough, you always need more. She must have realized she didn't really have anywhere to go because she said back, arms folded across her chest. I lowered my voice, "I don't want to be like this anymore, that's why I left them."
"You're pathetic," she spat, the words flicking at me like fire. I knew I'd hurt her. I'd become something she hated, I could see it in her eyes.
"I know," I said, "I need help. I need you."
