Don't let me drown (boyxboy)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7
*Austin*

I was almost fuming because I had been drawn into Oli's mess. What did I do to deserve this shit? I was still a bit angered by the way he'd treated me, and because his addiction he got away with it. No he wouldn't! Not if I had my way about it. My thoughts kept this weird chant in my head "He can't just ignore what he did." I grabbed my keys on the way out of the door. I couldn't just withdraw five grand from the atm. The bank was a short distance so I didn't have far to go, this didn't stop me from rolling down the windows letting in some warm California air and blaring some slipknot. Yes my music preference was like a mood ring in a lot of ways. When I was angry my choice would reflect that. I'd parked neatly beside a car that couldn't be real. It was one of the small town cars that sort of looked like the little wind up toys just a bigger version. I walked through the doors a blast of cool air conditioning hit me. I greeted the teller with a smile. "What can I help you with today?" She smiled, she was smartly dressed and hair pulled back in a sleek pony. "I'm withdrawing." I replied, and she handed me a slip. I quietly filled out the necessary boxes and scribbled my signature at the bottom, and handed it back to her. Without question she began typing in the info and talked about the beautiful weather we are having. The usual small talk. I smiled and agreed though I didn't have too much interest in it. She got up and returned with an envelope with the money placed carefully inside. "Is that all I can help you with Mr. Carlile?" The teller questioned. "Yeah that's all..except." I looked through the bowl of lollipops they have on the counter and chose a red one. "Technically I'm a kid at heart." I winked and walked away from the counter popping my treat into my mouth. I could feel her eyes scanning my body, as she mentally undressed me. "You still got it." I thought and smiled brightly. I pulled out my phone and told Oliver that the situation was taken care of.

*Oli*

I had finished taking care of my end of it when I'd gotten the message that Austin had as well. I reported this back to whomever was behind all of it. It all seemed so simple. Who knows who was behind it. Maybe I had owed someone. The thing is with my habits one would never know. All this pressure was getting to me and I felt the need to float on clouds again. It probably wasn't the best idea to get high right now. It was a pretty selfish thing to do to boot. When you're an addict though it's hard to think of anyone but yourself. This is why relationships failed because I was so goddamn selfish. However people who really knew me, knew that isn't the real me. I rarely spoke or thought of myself when I was sober. And let me say something else. People who leave you and don't support you during it all are arseholes! Support is the number one thing people like me need. The whole religion will get you through is bollocks. Most of the whole rehab process was, I'd tried it before and I left there addicted worse than before. I only had my parents support. I didn't ask for anyone else to be there for me. Let's get one thing straight though... I wouldn't have asked Hannah to go through that. She deserved much more than I could ever give her. Am I hurt that I basically pushed her out of my life? You fucking bet. I feel like I done the best thing for her. I keep getting off topic though. I was actually nervous to be seeing Austin today. He had been on my mind a lot lately. I'm still fucked though there's no way I could ever admit my feelings toward him. The K wasn't working my mind was still here on earth. I made a few more lines and snorted them back. Sniffling up what threatened to drop out, I felt the k take hold of me. It was as my nervous system had electric charges that I could feel throughout each nerve ending. What happened next I could never explain. I watched myself below taking out my laptop, and slumping over to examine each key. My fingertips positioned to type out an email. I was too high up, I couldn't tell what I was writing out. I maneuvered down a little closer. My eyes focused hard at the screen and the blinking line. "So I see you and your boyfriend know how to take orders. I want you to take the money to the bin outside and place it on top." My fingers typed furiously, inwardly I was stunned. I had made this entire thing up while I was high. Why the hell would I do this? It definitely wasn't making things between Austin and I any easier, or bringing us closer to anything more than just friends. I had already blown any chance with him I had just by being an addict. I tried my hardest to stay in a euphoric state, but failed. My eyes grew heavy, and breath evened out into a soft rhythm.

A/N: I apologize so so much for being away for so long. Things happen and I broke my phone (which is how I usually update). So I decided on trying to revive my laptop and use it. That was no good either the battery was done. Now that I am fully functional again I will be able to update this story and give you better chapters. For now though I hope you enjoy this one. Chapter 8 coming up very soon. Hopefully in just a couple of days. <3
