To crazy people.
I go bad to Christian's bedroom and see him exactly the way I left him, over the bed. He cries have subsided giving way to sniffles.
Seeing Ana has had a calming effect on me too.
I touch Jay's shoulders and he flinches.
I pull his boxers out of his legs and he starts groaning and sobbing again.
"Will you just listen to me once, please?" He sobs.
I pick him up in my arms, and get under the covers with him, snuggling.
"Talk."
"That was not drugs." He is holding my tee like his life depends on it. I know he is not comfortable at all because of his bottom.
"If you're lying to get out of trouble, I can assure you, all its going to do is land you in more." I tell him sternly.
"I couldn't sleep, haven't slept, at all, after you.... So, I called Mr. G and asked for something.... that would help me sleep. You can.... ask him. " He sniffles.
"Why not pills then? Why shots?" I ask him, incredulously. I rub his back.
"Ana.... She's going into a littler headspace. I was scared that she might pop some.... When I am not around or distracted. It's been difficult to keep track of... Everything she does all day long.... When I don't have help. Or money." He adds.
I hug him tighter. Thank you to the mercies of the Universe. Chris was not on drugs! I heave a sigh of relief.
"Why not tell me straightaway? Why give me the lip?" I ask him.
