I quickly climb down the tree and jog to Micah's car While Adym watches from the window.
"So what happened to him?" He asks
"The police brought him home early this morning" I explain, "He almost got charged with trespassing and underage drinking but he didn't. He has To do 24 hours of this drug free class."
"Damn" Micah drives off
"Get this" I turn to Micah, "The police asked if anyone else was with him and he took the blame. He didn't snitch on me or you."
I say this because I know loyalty means a lot to Micah so when I told him Adym didn't snitch I know that means a lot to him. He acts like he's cool with Adym but sometimes things get tense between them and it gets awkward but Micah acts like it doesn't faze him.
Personally though, I think it does annoy him and make him question their friendship but Micah's very cautious with new friends. I'm glad he's fitting into our group even though it gets awkward with him and Adym. So I know telling Micah that he didn't snitch, Adym just gained Micah's respect.
"Damn" Micah notes, "Props to him. Most dudes just fold under pressure."
See, he acts like it's nothing but I know that took him by surprise.
"Did you think he'd fold?" I ask
"I dunno" he shrugs, "Ion know him that well, you do."
As we pull into the driveway I see Micah grab a little plastic bag from the backseat and tuck it under his shirt. We walk inside and find everyone in the formal living room, visiting. My mom turns to me and ushers for me to come sit and visit.
8 pm
As I lay in bed, updating everyone on what's going on with Adym, I get a call.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tori"
"Hey diego hows everything going?"
"It's good actually. I've had a lot of withdrawal but I no longer want Xans anymore. "
"I'm so happy for you!"
"Yeah I'm glad you talked me into this"
"I'm glad you're doing better.. I really worried about you"
"Yeah I actually have about a week left and then I'm released"
"Really?!"
"Yeah.."
"Oh my god"
"I know it went by fast"
"What day and time can you be picked up? I'll be there"
"Deadass?"
"Deadass."
"Not this coming Tuesday but the week after"
"I get out the day before, on Monday"
"Nice so you'll be there when I get out?"
"I promise"
"Okay cool"
"Do I take you home or?"
"Yeah I wanna see my mom"
"Okay cool"
"Tori?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you.. I wouldn't be alive without you"
"You would Diego don't say that-"
"I would've overdosed again and prolly died tori and you know it.. thank you"
"No problem"
"I'm glad I met you"
"I'm glad I met you too"
"So hows life?"
"It's okay right now"
"You miss LA at all?"
"Very much but I actually do have some really great friends here so I like sac too"
"I'm glad you're happy.."
"So anything else going on with you?"
"I- um no.. not really..."
"You sure? I thought you were gonna say something"
"No I wasn't.."
"Oh okay"
"I better go.. my times running out to talk on the phone"
"Oh okay I'll talk to you later"
"Okay bye"
"Bye"
I hang up and continue texting everyone about what happened before washing my face, putting on lotion and brushing my teeth.
10:30 pm
As I lay in bed, scrolling through instagram I start to feel exhausted from the night before so I plug in my phone to charge and turn out my lights to go to bed.
6 am- Monday morning

I get up and do my makeup by 7:30 am so I have enough time for breakfast. As I leave my room I knock on Micah's door,
"You riding with me or on your own?"
"I'm not going today" he groans
"You Okay?" I ask
"My fucking stomach hurts" he replies
"Can I do anything for you?" I offer, "Get you water Or sum?"
"No" he sighs, "You can come in"
I open the door to find him stretched out on his bed, shirtless in a pair of basketball shorts.
"Fuck" he rubs his hand over his abs
"You eat something bad?" I lean against his doorway, "Or you just got a stomach bug?"
He doesn't say anything, he just shuts his eyes.
"I'll take that as a yes.." I say, "Drink water and get it out of your stomach but not to much your stomach will hurt even more"
"Okay" He murmurs
"Text me if you need me Imma have breakfast and get ready to go" I turn and walk away
I walk downstairs to make some cereal as I scroll through Instagram. Suddenly there's a knock on the door.
