Chapter 22: Drug Take over

Dear Diary

It's two in the morning and my recent nightmare is still sticking to my skin like sweat.

My mind has been completely focused on the number burning a hole in my phone.

I have opened a message about a thousand times with the intent of telling Matt who I am and what I need, but something important stops me each and every time.

The way I left things when I passed out on him last weekend.

I blacked out with Derek pounding away at Matt's face, meaning I needed to make sure this guy wasn't out to kill me.

Derek made it out like it was nothing and that he and Matt were fine, but a part of me is still worried Matt would hold a grudge.

I can't have that.

I need him right now.

Because I need it right now.

"You're awful quiet this morning." Brian says as we make our way through traffic to school. It's Monday and today marks the last week of school.

I glance at my phone once more, still anticipating a new message but still not getting one.

"Babe?"

"What?"
