Part 7
"I can't do this... not know...I'm sorry Krys..." was all A.J could get
out before Krystle ran off. Her tears ran down her face as she ran
towards Jennie's car. A.J ran after her. He wanted to tell her how he
felt but with Lisa there, the relationship would get nowhere,
"Krys... Krystle please... Listen to me..."
Krystle finally reached the car. She turned back to A.J with hurtful
eyes,
"Just fuck off A.J." she said as she got in the car.
"Why is A.J..." Jennie started, but Krystle cut off,
"JUST GO" she demanded as she cried. As the car sped off the road she
looked back at A.J who was standing in the middle of the street. She
turned back as she noticed him with a hurtful expression on his face.
'What's he got to be mad about?' she said to herself as she looked out
the window next to her. Jennie didn't say anything. When she got to
Krystle's house, she looked at her,
"Krys... I'm your best friend... and if you ever...ever need
anything...you got to let me know okay?" Krystle just nodded her head
and shut the door.
When she got into the house, she walked up to her room and lay on her
bad. She cried for what seemed like hours but really were only a few
minutes. She walked up and down the hallway biting her lip.
'You know why he doesn't love you Krystle.... Ha... Look at yourself'
she said to herself. She shook her head as more hurtful things entered
her mind. As she reached the end of the hallway, she turned into the
bathroom and grabbed her pills that were on the counter. She didn't
think twice as she popped 4 pills into her mouth. Soon, she began to
ease up. Now she didn't care where A.J was, or who he loved, or how
much she loved him. Her body got weak. It gave her a sense of relief.
She smiled at herself awkwardly in the mirror. Just then the phone
rang. She jumped up at the noise and ran over to the phone. When she
went to pick up the phone, it dropped on the floor...
"You...... Stupid.... HEHEHE....Stupid phone" she said in a slurry
voice. She bent down to pick up the phone and fell over. She laughed
repeatedly. When she finally got hold of the phone, there was no one
there,
"HHHH... hello?" she said,
"Hello... who's there?" she said again,
"Oh who cares... Probably wasn't for me anyway." She said hanging it
up. She went back to the bathroom. The pills were beginning to wear
out and she needed a new buzz. When she got there, she picked up the
bottle and shook it in her hand,
"All out?" she said with a laugh. She ran back to the phone and dialed a
number,
When someone picked up she said,
"Ya... Um... Hi.. Is... umm... Mark there?" her eyes began to roll.
"Ya, It's me. Krys.. Is that you girl?" he said in a seductive voice,
"Ahh.. Save the smm... small talk... I need more pills... cann you...
umm.. Bring them over... plee...please." she said, her words got slower
at the moment.
"Sure honey... I'll be right over," he said back.
Without saying good bye, she hung up the phone and headed downstairs.
~ At A.J's House ~
"Why the hell is she talking like that?" A.J said hanging up the phone.
"Krys... She better... She better not be...." A.J didn't finish his
words. He grabbed his jacket and ran out of the house. He jumped in
his car and sped down the street.
"She better be okay," he said to himself.
~ At Krystle's house ~
Krystle got up slowly from the chair to get the door when she heard the
doorbell.
"Oh... hey.. Hi..he.. Hey Mark."
"Hey yourself baby." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Get off of me" she said with a playful slap almost knocking herself
over.
"You got the stuff?" she asked him holding out her hands,
"Yes I do... but first... I want something from you.."
"What... I ain't got nothing.. fff.. For you."
"Trust me... You do baby." He said.
Just then the doorbell rang. Mark put the pills on the table as he made
himself at home.
"Oh.. I'll get it..." she said holding her hand in the air. When she
got to the door, she looked into the peep hole but there was just a
blur,
"Who is... Whoooo... Who is it?" she finally asked.
"Open the door now Krys." Came a voice.
'How demanding' she said to herself as she opened the door.
A.J took one look at her before tears fell from his eyes. She stood
there wobbling back and forth as she held onto the door.
"Krys..." he started, "you can't do this to yourself." Just as he leaned
in forward to hold her, he noticed someone standing there in the hallway
watching them.
"Who are you?" A.J said in a jealous voice,
"Her boyfriend... And who are you?" Mark said back.
A.J looked Krystle in her eyes,
"Is that what he is? Is he your boyfriend...cause this game..." she cut
him off,
"He's not my boyfriend silly," she smiled at him, "He's just here to
give me my pills... that's all" she said as she looked him straight in
the eyes.
A.J's eyes widened. It filled with a great anger, something Krystle had
not seen before.
Krystle stood and watched while A.J confronted Mark. Without saying
anything, A.J punched him square in the face. Krystle stood in the
corner and watched with two reactions, FEAR and RELIEF
