Chapter 9: 9. Drugs
After locking myself in my room I fall asleep instantly, I don't dream this time... That's weird, maybe I've stopped receiving memories. I open my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling. I realized what happened, I switched bodies again...
"Shit," I say out of frustration, I had gotten used to switching bodies by now so I wasn't that surprised, I slowly emerge for the sheets of a bed, it was a queen-sized bed with black sheets.
"Well at least this person has a decent house," I say looking around, it was a pretty empty room it only had a bedside table, dresser, a queen-sized bed and grey carpets.
I turn my head towards a bedside table, there laid a needle that looks like it was just used and it had a plastic cover sitting next to it.
"Self-harm, alcohol and now drugs," I say, "Why do the people I switch with always have these types of addictions?"
I have a look around the room for a phone so I can call Katsuo, I find flip phone sitting on the dresser in my room.
"Who uses flip phones?" I say picking up the phone to calling Katsuos, after a couple of seconds he picks up.
"Is this Hina?" ask Katsuo.
"How did you know?" I reply.
"Well let's just say your old body just stumbled out the door and towards the alcohol store" explains Katsuo, "Where are you now?"
"I don't know yet, I just woke up," I tell him.
"Oh is the floor covered in beer bottles again?" asks Katsuo.
"Haha very funny," I say sarcastically "No, its a pretty nice place, though I did wake up with a syringe next to me, I think this person is addicted to drugs"
"Oh..." replies Katsuo not knowing what to say, "Do you want me to come over once you find out where you are?"
"That would be nice, I don't really want to be alone," I tell Katsuo in a shy voice.
"Ok call me back when you find out where you are," says Katsuo.
"Ok, bye," I say hanging up the phone, where should I look? maybe I should look around and check out my new apartment and look for an address.
I put down the phone and open the bedroom door, on the other side of the door I saw a dining room, it had wooden chairs, a glass table and the floors had grey tiles.
This room is pretty empty too, I look around the apartment for a couple of minutes, it not very big, it only had a bedroom, bathroom, dining room, and kitchen, and they barely owned anything, I go through the draws of the dresser in the bedroom and find a draw full of syringes, some were used and others were empty.
Oh ok that a lot of needles, I look in another draw hesitant to check because of what I've found before, in the second draws was a bunch of letters from what looks like her family, one of the letters said, dear Sara, we're having a good time in Hawaii, when will you start travelling with us? love from your little sister Ichika.
I look like I have a sister called Ichika and my name is Sara, I look at the envelope and it had an address written on the front, I send it the address in a text to Katsuo, he replies with 'Ok, I'll be over in a couple of minutes'.
"Now what should I do?" I said waiting for Katsuo, I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling like I normally do when I have nothing to do.
I hear a knock on the door, I rush to the door.
"Wow, that was fast..." I say opening the door to see no one was there, I look around and notice a package on the ground, I take it in and open it, it was a box full of what looked like heroin, that's shady, maybe Katsuo shouldn't come over, I dont want him to get involved with whatever is happening to this person.
I hide the box in the draw of my dresser in my bedroom, I hear a knock on the door again, I slowly open the door and sneakily peek out to see Katsuo stanging there.
"Are you ok?" asked Katsuo.
"Yeah, come in," I say, I let him in and tell him about the box and show him the draw needles as he stands there speechless.
"I know your not the one who bought these but are you ok?" asks Katsuo out of concern.
"Yeah" I reply.
"Ok just maybe we should stay away from these," says Katsuo.
"Ok, I will," I say, I'm glad he's worried about me, but I dont want to freak him out too much, I sit and talk with Katsuo about what to do about the dreams, I dont live as close as I did before.
"Do you want me to stay the night?" he asked blushing to the point where his whole face was red face.
"W-well I don't have a problem with that..." I reply also blushing.
"I-I dont have much room so you might have to sleep in my bedroom, can you bring something to sleep on, or do you... want to sleep in the bed with..." I say unable to finish my sentence.
"I'll see if I can bring something to sleep on, but I dont think I own anything like that, at least nothing that I can just move around," says Katsuo still blushing.
There was an awkward silence for a while, then I looked at the time.
"Oh, it's time for dinner are you hungry?" I ask Katsuo.
"Yeah, want me to help you cook?" he asks me.
"Can you supervise, I wanna try cooking?" I ask him, I go to the kitchen to see what I can cook, I look in the fridge, there was a couple of premade meals sitting on plates wrapped in cling wrap, "Oh... looks like I'm not cooking tonight..."
"It's fine, maybe you can try cooking breakfast again," Katsuo said trying to cheer me up, we choose a meal each and we heat it up in the microwave.
