"Wait when did this happen?" I questioned

"Litterally yesterday?"

"Oh."

"Are you okay? You've been forgetting a lot of things lately..." my friend genuinely asked in a worried tone.

"Oh, yeah, I'm okay just a lot of school work, y'know..?" I awkwardly chuckled out

Karl

Answer . .. Decline

I sighed as I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Soooo break is coming up soon. Are we still up for what we said we'd do in high-school?"

"Uh yeah,yeah. What did we say we'd do again?" I questioned

"We said we'd meet up during breaks and catch up with eachother..."

"Oh, yeah of course. I got to go talk to ya later. " I let my accent slightly slip.

It has been 2 months since the whole phone call incident. I won't lie it still kind of hurts to think about but overall I've come to terms with it. I'm just upset about the fact that he's hasn't told me about what he did.

I mean it's not like we were dating or anything so it's whatever.

I was never one to be able to down pills. One time I got sick and the doctor said I either had to take nasty tasting medicine or pills. I was very young at the time so my small throat couldn't handle the huge pill.

My mom had gotten enough of me and shoved the pill down my throat. I've always had trouble downing them since and even stopped taking Medicine when I got sick.

But how did I get here?

Dry swallowing drugs?

The feeling burning my throat as the deadly oval slid perfectly down my esophagus.

How did I start from taking it once a week to almost everyday?

When did my life start going downhill?

Why did my life start faltering horribly?

Oh.

Yeah.

Wait.

No,

No.

I don't remember.

Don't

Be

Mad.

I'm fine.

I'm good.

I took one an hour ago?

Take another.

Did I not just take one?

You didn't. Take one.

No. I can't. I'm tired.
