Poisoned

bring me to life

A couple months have passed and Bret was over here constantly, slash didn't really come around to much anymore. Bret was out running my errands and Bobby was hanging with me because I had gotten the flu. Bobby and I were playing poker for cough drops, he always ate cough drops like they were candy. Bobby won and so we put up the cards and talked.

Bobby: so how are you and Bret doing?

Me: we're good..

Bobby: what's wrong babe?

Me: it's slash....i miss him Bobby.

Bobby: well why not call him?

Me: I don't know Bobby. What if he doesn't want to talk to me?

Bobby picked up the phone holding it in front of me.

Bobby: just call him.

I hesitated for a moment than finally just decided to call him, I slowly dialed his number than pressed call.  It rang and rang and rang when finally I heard his voice.  It had been so long.

Slash: hello?

Me:.......

Slash: hello?

Me: hi Saul..

It became silent for a few seconds. Than he began to speak.

Slash: hi sugar how are You?

Me: I'm good but I have caught the flu.

Slash: oh you poor thing. You want me to come over?

Me: that would be nice. Bobby is here as well. 

Slash: cool I'll be there soon.

Me: alright see ya soon.

I hung up and handed the phone back to Bobby.

Bobby: so details woman.

Me: he's coming over.

Bobby: well maybe I should head out than.

Me: you don't have to right now.  Why not when he gets here?

Bobby:  alright

He smiled as he popped another cough drop in his mouth. I tried to laugh but I started coughing hard. Bobby rubbed my back till it was over.  A few minutes later i heard knocking at my door.

Me: come I-

I was caught off guard by another coughing attack, I watched as Bobby went to the door and opened it for slash. Slash walked in and looked worried as he watched me cough horrifically. He sat beside me and rubbed my back. It took me a few minutes to calm down than I was ok.

Bobby: so I'll see y'all later ok?

Me: ok Bobby.

He hugged me and shook slash's hand. I laid my head on slash's shoulder and realized how skinny he had gotten, And how thin his hair was.

Me: slash why are you so skinny?

Slash: It doesn't matter. How are you feeling?

Me: slash I'm fine bu-

Slash: I'll go make you some tomato soup and grilled cheese. With some tea.

He got up to walk out of the room and I caught his wrist showing his junkie arms. I looked at all the bruises covering his thin arms.

Me: slash I thought we gave that up..

He pulled his arm away and walked to the kitchen and made my food he came back out and sat in silence.
