bloodstream

I brought the unconscious Lenzo back to my place and laid him down on the couch, I took off my shirt and saw bandaids placed on the scars Kyle left. I walked inside the bathroom and ran down warm water over a dry towel, once I was done with that I went back into the living room, man these scars hurt...

"Where am I..." His words were shattered up but I could comprehend him just fine. I used the towel and cleaned some of the blood off his face. but it wasn't enough they did a number on him.

"You're at my house, I can take you home if you want" but he just nuzzle up on one of my pillows, grinning

" It's been so long since I've been laid on a sofa that didn't have bugs inside" his voice sounds dehydrated and cracked, don't know why he could just swallow his blood and it'll make his vocal cords wet. I stood up and went inside the kitchen to grab him a bottle of water,

" Are you homeless?" I asked, sitting back down, he held onto the bottle but he wasn't strong enough to open the lid, I took the bottle away from him and twisted the cap until it popped in my hand holding it to his lips. He tapped my arm once he was done drinking,

"I just... Hop around.." he said sleepily shutting his eyes. This isn't good... His face is so swollen then they are going to ask who did that... Then all suspicion is going to be pointed toward me... I don't need that... I just need to care for him until he's well enough to tell that woman to not sign me up for that suicide-crazy house thing. Fuck God knows I don't have the resources to keep care of someone... I barely have any money... This can't be happening, not like I can kick him out either... I took a deep breath, thinking that the adverse won't help anything... I'll just go to rest. I went into my bedroom and I forgot that my mattress wasn't in my bed... everything is a mess...I misstepped into the hallway just leaning on the wall and slowly shutting my eyes

This restless feeling hung over me again... I don't even recall going to sleep... All I remember is talking about where my mattress is ...

"Sleepyhead" I jerked as I sat up, I'm inside my bedroom right now... I looked down and saw it was a mattress placed on my bed.. it was new as well.. what is going on? I didn't even notice Lenzo sitting down on my bed... Holding what appears to be a bowl of cereal. "Thank you for keeping care of me last night... I don't know how to cook, but I found this in your refrigerator" cereal?... I don't even eat cereal... I don't even remember ever having anything to eat... In this house suddenly I have cereal and this mattress...

"I don't remember last night clearly... Can you help me remember" I rubbed my eyes

" Oh well... I woke up in the middle of the night... My face was aching pretty bad, as I went to the bathroom" he had to pause looking up, trying to remember" then I saw you... You were in the hallway. Then you asked me something"

" What.. ? What did I ask?? " I don't know anything... He has to tell me, he looked back into my eyes, and it felt like years .. for him to finally say it

" How many drugs will it take for someone to overdose and die"
I choked.

" What... " I muttered

" That's what I said... But then you told me if I told you, you would buy some stuff for my face" I gobbled... Why would I ask something like that ..? I looked at him and I didn't even catch that he had bandages on his lip and nose .. that must mean that he told me. That also means I left the house...

" Then what "

" Hm... I went back to sleep, but I heard loud dragging sounds" dragging....sounds.?..die?...overdose? Did...I kill someone? Why would I kill someone ?"I opened my eyes and saw it was just you yanking in your new mattress" I let all my air out from my lungs, it feels like a great weight has
been removed from inside my lungs...
