Juiced

“Kelsey? Kelsey?”

I stirred and opened my eyes, WHAT THE?!

“Zacky?” I said surprised.

“Yeah. It’s me. How you feeling?” He asked.

“I feel like I’m in severe pain.” I groaned.

“Oh. May I?” He asked.

“Um. Sure. Go ahead.” I said confused.

I sighed and closed my eyes. I was so tired. I felt a horrid ice cold sting on my stomach. I jumped up and fell off the couch.

“MOTHERFUCKER!” I screamed.

“Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!” Zacky said panicky.

He helped me off the floor and carried me out of the room.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“My room.” He said.

“Hey! If you think you can-“

“It’s not like that. You’re going to go rest some more okay?” He said.

“But I’m not tired!” I whined like a five year old.

“Well you can’t do much since your hurt, so for now you’re resting.” He said.

“Fine.” I mumbled.

He carried me upstairs and into his room.

Memories. Awful, filthy memories.

He layed me down on that filthy bed. He threw the covers over me and turned to leave.

“Zacky?” I whined.

“What?!” He asked a little annoyed.

“Read me a story.” I giggled.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” He asked.

“Yeah, don’t worry.” I said.

He chuckled and started to walk away.

“Wait!” I said.

“What now?” He asked.

“Stay with me.” I said.

“What why?” He asked.

“I don’t want him to get me.” I said with a serious tone.

“Who? The boogeyman?” He joked.

“No. Brian.” I said sadly.

He sighed and sat down on the bed.

“Look. As long as I’m here I promise Brian won’t come near you.” He said.

“But, what about when you’re gone?” I asked.

“Then he’ll get it twice as bad.” He said.

I smiled slightly and he returned a smile.

“Why am I here?” I asked.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at me odd.

“Don’t you remember? Your parents kicked you out.” He said.

“Yeah I remember. But, why did you take me here? You could have just left me their.” I said.

He sighed and layed down beside me.

“You want to know why?” He asked.

“Yes please.” I giggled.

He brushed my hair out of the way and caressed my cheek.

“Because you’re a little cutie and you wouldn’t survive a minute in the real world. I don’t like seeing you like this. You know, unhappy.” He said.

“Aww! You care! Care bear!” I giggled.

“You sure you’re not still high?” He laughed.

“I’m sure. I’m just, really happy that you would do this for me. Thank you.” I said.

He smiled and crawled under the covers. I wrapped my arms around his torso and snuggled into his chest. I felt a comforting arm around my waist.

“No problem kiddo. Now sleep.” He commanded.

He kissed my forehead and leaned his head into the pillow. I soon felt myself start to doze off.
