Fine Line

16.

Tanner.

Chase seems way out of it, I know that her mother showing up fucked with her. Yet I can't put my finger on it she seems so zone out. It was like she is here but not mentally. She is sitting on my lap, and has been eating one slice of pizza for about twenty minutes.

"Chase, you know we don't care if you eat right?" looking at her

"Yeah, sorry just thinking you know." She starts to laugh, what the fuck is wrong with her?

"Hey, shut up you two okay like Berry just talked to the human." Davis says

"Hey, be nice." Chase pushes his head

"Dude, calm down." Davis laughs

"I'm tired, baby it's been a long day can we go to bed?" I whisper in her ear

"Gosh fine." Chase gets up putting the pizza in the box and storming off towards her room.

"What the fuck is that about?" Max asked

"Leave her alone, she really has issues with her mother." Olivia whispers

"You guys don't know all of it, it's a lot." Kenzie cuddles into AJ.

"We are going to bed, and guys thanks." I mumble walking back to her bedroom.

Chase pacing from her bed to her desk. It was like she was going fucking mental. "Chase, what the fuck?"

"Why did she come here, of all places she ruined this apartment for me I can't stay here I can't do it." She throws her book at the mirror.

"Chase, WHAT THE FUCK!"

"I can't be here anymore, I get me out of here get my out of here now Tanner or I swear I'm going to fucking do shit.." running her fingers through her hair "get me out of here!"

"YOU GUYS OKAY?" Max yells

"YEAH JUST BUMPED THE MIRROR OVER!" yelling back.

Chase takes hold of my hands, "can we leave forever?"

"Chase we have to graduate for and I promise after that you won't ever have to tell your mother where you are." my hands slide up her arm stopping at her shoulders "breathe because you need to sleep and my house is twenty minutes away and we can leave but I would rather stay here."

"You're right, you drove and haven't had time to rest I'm sorry Tanner." Tears formed in her eyes.

"Hey, no don't cry over that seriously you look like you need sleep." taking her hand, my free hand pulled the covers back letting her get into bed.

She scoots over for me to lay down with her. I knew she was tired because not even a minute had past and she was asleep. Of course I had the uncomfortable side well this is a cheap ass bed..she needs a better one. I'm always on the left, but tonight I'm on the right.

Fuck, why is it lumpy? Sliding from her hold getting on the floor, I lift my side up and there was the reason it was lumpy. Pills. Looking up at Chase and back at the pills..are you fucking kidding me. Putting my shoes back on, and reaching for my keys i shove the pill bottles in my jacket pocket.

"Hey man thought you guys were going to bed?" Davis says

"Yeah I need to go back to the house I don't have my books and shit for my morning class." Shrugging my shoulders

"Is she okay?" Olivia looks up at me

"Yeah, she asleep but y'all have a good night see y'all tomorrow." Shutting the door behind me, I am so fucking mad at her. Pills? How does she get these? Does she suck dick for them? Does she do sexual favors for these?
