Evans Hansens Narration of Love

Chapter 21

What do you do when you're in distress and read to die?

Smoke up of course.

What else can you really do.

It took me a long time, but I found the one person I knew would have it.

I had a bunch of money from all the times I was supposed to order pizza but didn't want to face a pizza man.

'Um. I can get weed from you, right'

My voice was quiet, unsure and shaking.

The boy looked down at me.

His eyes were intense and ringed with black.

'And what would a kid like you.'

He spoke pointedly.

Ouch.

'Want with a thing like that?'

I tried not to take offense to the question.

'They said smoking drugs makes you forget'

I shook my head a bit, holding the money out with a frown.

'Please let me forget'

The boy was taken a back.

I could tell he didn't expect that answer from me.

'Ok'

His voice was guilty as he fished out a bag.

It didn't look like it did on Tv. It was rolled already.

I went to give him the money, but he nudged it away.

'First ones always free.'

With a smile I took the bag and placed it in my pocket.

Now more confident, I turned to walk away.

His voice stopped me.

'What's your name kid'

He called after me.

I sighed and turned to face him.

'Evan hansen'

He smiled the smallest smile filled with guilt.

'Stay safe Evan Hansen'
