of newspaper and snorting it up.
“Fuck that’s good shit!” She hears as she watches Leon take a step forward to take his turn.
“No…” She whispers to herself, her heart sinking in her chest as she watches Leon bend forward over the table.
She turns around, holding her hand over her eyebrows as she hears a loud sigh before a quick, high shout as Leon finishes snorting his line.
Alia stiffens as she feels a set of trembling hands wrap around her waist, Leon’s fingertips shallowly sinking into the front of her jeans as he kisses against her neck.
“Come on, baby.” He whispers into her ear. “Celebrate with us…”
She shakes her head, turning around, her eyes catching his blood shot eyes as she gazes into his dilated pupils.
“Can we go upstairs…” She asks, her voice catching in the throat as she takes a step back.
“Yeah, I’ll take you upstairs…” He smirks.
She grabs his hand, pulling him up the carpeted stairs and into the bedroom to the side of the hall before closing the door behind them.
“You’ll have more fun if you get a little high first…” Leon whispers into her ear as he walks her over to the bed.
“No, stop.” She whispers, pushing him away as she sits down, sinking into the mattress.
She rests her face in the palms of her hands before looking up at him as he sits down beside her.
“What?” He asks, his voice soft as he presses his hand against the small of her back.
She gets up, stepping away from him before turning around, angry tears beginning to sting her eyes.
“What they fuck was that!?” She asks, her voice cracking as she points towards the door.
“Alia, it’s not a big deal…” He says, shrugging his shoulders as he shakes his head from side to side.
“Yes, it is a big deal!” She says, bringing her hand up to her chest. “This whole night has been one big deal after a-fucking-nother.”
“Shh…” He hushes, trying to get her to keep her voice down as he reaches out to her, grabbing his hand.
“No!” She says, pulling her hand away from him. “I can’t believe you would leave me to sit by myself in a dark fucking parking lot in the middle of nowhere while you and your buddies by a fucking duffle bag full of drugs!”
“Alia…” He says, standing up and walking over to her. “It’s my job. I mean, you can’t pretend you didn’t know what I do for a living.”
“You said you were a place holder for a different gang… a place holder!”
“Alia…” He says, sighing out as he sits back down on the bed before rubbing his hands over his face.
“And then, you bring me back here, with the duffle bag of drugs, mind you…” She starts, shaking her head. “And now everyone is doing cocaine and you want me to be okay with that? Leon, I could go to jail for the rest of my life just because I’m here…”
“You won’t, Alia…” He says, tossing his hands into the air. “We’re not causing any trouble...”
“Do you think I’m stupid, Leon? Do you?” She asks sternly. “You honestly think I’m going to believe those fucking bricks of cocaine are so you can party it up?
Leon opens his mouth to answer, closing it again tightly as he watches Alia shake her head.
“I thought you were one of the good ones, Leon…” She starts, wrapping her arms over her chest. “I guess my dad was right about you and I was just too naïve to see it…”
“I would have never taken you if I thought you were going to get hurt, never.” He says, his bloodshot eyes zeroing in on her. “I will never let you get hurt, Alia…”
She turns away from him, wiping a tear away from her cheek with the sleeve of her cardigan.
“Take me home, Leon.”
