Fighting Fire

"I can't do this anymore." I whispered quietly. The pills were sitting on the sink waiting for me to take them & to get this over with as soon as possible.

"But why? What made you get to this point?" He asked.

"There's nothing here for me anymore. My parents are money needing whores, My friends all ditched me and you're just always at work." I said.

"Well, then I'll try to be here for you as often as I can. I'll cut back my hours at work if that will make you happy." He said.

"Promise?" I asked.

"I promise." He said.

If only I knew that was just lies, if anything he was gone even more. There was another girl in the picture and I knew it. That's when I decided to fight fire with fire.
