Forced Withdrawals [Nox's Building]

[Tatyana]

Tatyana sat and watched, wrapping her arms around her knees, attempting to keep her hands from shaking. She was starting to feel the pressure in her head as a headache was about to take form. Her eyes turned to McKenzie as she begin to gather her stuff and headed into a room.
Tatyana stood as the door shut. McKenzie needed her.

She opened the door and closed it behind her. She sat down next to McKenzie. She didn’t say anything at first. ”Its snowing pretty hard.  We’re going to be here for a bit. I know that will make things hard for you.” Tatyana put her hand on McKenzie’s shoulder. ”Its going to be hard for both of us.”

She looked her in the eyes. ”Im going to…seem like I’m sick. I won’t be feeling very good at all. Going to be really hard. I might get angry and say stupid things. If I do - I promise I don’t mean them and I’m very sorry. I would never do anything to hurt you, okay?”

She waited. Ashton would probably be in soon. ”Ashton and Liv are going to try to help me so it’s not so bad.” She rubbed her head. The headache was getting worse.

Kenzie nodded. "I'll be fine. I've sent the night here before when it got late. We can stay in here. No one will bother us." She acknowledge that she'd be sick Kenzie knew what that meant. She'd been around the church to know what it meant.

"Ashton is nice. Liv too. Nox has pills in his safe."

Jackson shrugged. "I'm okay. This is nice. And I didn't seduce you so I'm fine. We are friends. This is good. And I like you so it's all good." He was sorta rambling.

He leaned closer "And Ashton's voice is calming so I couldn't panic even if I wanted to. So unless you wanna go upstairs. Hayden's message says we are all crashing downstairs, and we should get our things. You can crash with us, it'll be like a slumber party. We got sleeping bags. We could make blanket forts."

[Tatyana]

Knowing that McKenzie knew about her drug use was something of a relief. Not being judged by her was better. Most people did it even if they didn’t show it. Sometimes it was just a “you need to get clean” kind of attitude. Her drug use was no one’s business.

McKenzie mentioned Nox’s pills. ”Yeah they told me that. They don’t have access to his safe. So - it’s withdrawals.”

Tatyana began to rub her temples more as the headache increased in intensity and made a light sound at the pain. The headaches sucked - and the headaches were only the beginning. She never really got much farther than that. Tatyana stood up and lay down on the bed.

She should probably tell someone the symptoms were starting to get worse. Ashton was right outside the room, but she didn’t want to get back up. She sighed. She had told them the withdrawals were going to start because she thought they should know. She didn’t expect help. She expected the opposite. But they had offered.

”Kenzie,” she said, feeling bad for asking her. ”Could you tell Ashton outside my symptoms are starting to get worse. If you can’t that’s okay, but I’d really appreciate it.” water would probably be a good idea too, but she didn’t want to overwhelm Kenzie. It didn’t help that the pain of loss was coming too.

[Marta]

Jackson started rambling. It was kind of cute, but Marta didn’t say that. ”Well if ever we’re not in the perimeter of Ashton’s song and I’m too much or anything - let me know please. I don’t want to overwhelm you or make you feel unsafe.” She was sure Jackson felt the same.

”Ive never been to a slumber party before. It will be a new experience for me. Sounds like a lot of fun.” she usually stayed with Elyse when she was here, though occasionally she’d sleep in the girls’ room. She was quickly becoming friends with them all.

But Jackson was right. They should get stuff moved down here for that. ”I have stuff in Elyse’s room for when I stay over. I can also help get other stuff down. The littles might have some trouble focusing especially with the insane snow. We can go upstairs and get stuff.” she let go of his hand to stand up and offered it to help him up.
