Little Secrets

Chapter Forty- Seven

  Lilac's POV

  I had been out of the hospital for about 3 weeks now. I had been working towards a better me. I wanted to be a better person then I was. I wanted to be a better person then I am. I wanted to be stable. I craved stability and Linda was helping me to that point. I was pushing myself to be better and I was pushing Drake. The only difference was I am making progress and Drake was being weird about it all. He was irritable. He would sleep all day. He was always in his room or gone. I thought we had worked on things. I thought we were working this out. But I can't help but think that Drake is letting his life slip away. Graduation was in 2 days and Drake was acting weird as if it didn't happen. I started going back to school not really wanting to miss out on my senior year I was caught up on work and Drake was avoiding me. He wasn't going to school and he wasn't caught up. He didn't do anything. He was just sleeping and acting weird and pushy. I could help. But wonder what he was doing.

"Hey Ly." I look up to se Veronica who I hadn't seen much of with her sneaking around with Conner.

"Hi." I smile. "What's up?"

"Nothing I just wanna tell you something and ask you something."she said and I smile she better be telling me.

"Go ahead I'm not doing anything and there's also something I wanna y'all to you about as well." I smile.

"Okay well im just gonna rip the band-aid right off." I nod "I'm dating Conner and I really like him please don't be mad." She rushed out and looking away. I laugh and smile.

"Girl I've been waiting since I woke up for you to tell me. Bitch I'm not fucking blind. I see y'all looking at each other I see y'all holding hands and hugging and shut. Bitch your rooms right next to mine I can hear you 'oh yeah daddy right there Harder' bitch if you're gonna fuck him do it in his room so I can't hear or sound proof your room. Nasty ass" I laughed and she looked embarrassed.

"Whatever. You wanna go get a graduation dresses later?"

"Yes sir." I responded "now can I talk to you about something?" I asked

"Yeah go head."

"So,Drake had been really distant lately. He been super irritable and mean. He sleeps all day he doesn't care about anything. He so not himself. I'm so worried about him. He goes out all day and when he comes back he looks pale sometimes. And then when I ask if he's alright he snaps. V I'm so worried I don't know why wrong with him."

"Girl it sounds like he's on drugs." She responds and my eyebrows shoot up.

"There's no way drake wouldn't do drugs no way."

"Yeah the old drake wouldn't but he's been through a lot. So I wouldn't put it past him. He's different now Ly and so are you." I sigh.

"Maybe he's just depressed."

"Maybe he depressed and doing drugs the two can go hand in hand Ly. You and I both know it." I nod my head think back to my past foster homes and how they all mostly were abusive drug addicts who tried to sell me and V for drugs.

"I hope to god your wrong." I say. Looking down at my fingers.

"Me too Ly me too."she whispers.

Getting up off the bed I walk to Drakes room. I knock on the door getting no response. I knock again and the door swings open. But it's not Drake it some guy covered in tattoos. His eyes are glassy and he's holding a black bag.

"How can I help you sweet heart?" He asked me his deep voice sends a chill down my spin. My body tenses and I feel my mind racing as I look for the right words to put together.
