------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL The morning was longer than it probably should have been. I sat there, watching the professor as he preached on and on about all this world war two nonsense. To be honest, I think I was really only interested in the Nazis and such. I mean, I knew how important everything else was to the whole thing, but the way the Nazis just took hold was something that I loved and loved to understand every little detail of it. It was way too interesting for me than it probably should have been. And let me tell you, it took forever just to understand all the little parts! Either way, this history thing was something I was absolutely fantastic at. Now, when it came to my best friend, he was just as interested in it as I was. The only problem is that he decided not to show up today. I rolled my eyes the moment I realized he wasn’t there. But damn, he’d be in for it. I just patiently took notes and everything, asked questions when I had to so it seemed like I was paying more attention than I was. I was exhausted from the party before, and still had a slight amount of my hangover. It was shit when you were trying to understand the little questions after you asked a question; it was more confusing than you could possibly imagine.
When it was finally over, I got up and gathered my things and stepped outside into a nice sunny day. The first thought on my mind was Landon. And why the hell he wasn’t here. I pulled out my phone as I managed my way to the quad and clicked the speed dial that his name was under. I heard it ring and continue to ring until finally it reached his voicemail. I rolled my eyes even more before leaving a messege. “Awwww. Is my baby still sleeping? Wake the fuck up, bro. where the hell are you?” I said softly before taking a deep breath. “Meet me at the quad in ten, or I’ll come find you! Ahoy Butternuts!” I spoke clearly, pulling the phone away and laughing before clicking the end button and finding a spot inside the quad to just sit and take a look at my notes of the day since I had no one else to share it with for the moment. The birds chirping were something that I felt especially close to, mostly because of my nickname. Sparrow. I felt more connected to everything than I usually did. Which was a good thing, in my opinion. It kept my mind off of Luke and all that depressing shit.

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
In all honestly, no matter what I was up and in class no matter what. Well on this certain morning, the one place I wanted to be was no sitting listening to my professor preach about whatever subject he decided to talk about. Possibly, I partied a little to harder than I was suppose to. Waking up to my alarm clock for class, I groaned and just turned it off. Stretching some, I looked downed to see I was still in the cloths I wore the night before. The smell of smoke and liquor was on me but the hell with it. Getting comfortable, I closed my eyes and fell back to sleep in a snap. One day of class skipping wasn’t going to kill me. Plus, Sparrow, she would have notes I’ll just steal hers to figure out what the hell was going on. Falling back to sleep was the best thing that ever happened to be in a while. Curled up tightly in my sheets, I looked like a mess. Never did I sleep like a normal person, I slept all crazy and moved way to much. Hearing my phone ring, I wasn’t answering it. Instead I rolled over and got comfortable once. More sleep, yes please.
It was after awhile that my phone finally annoyed me to the point that I grabbed it. Seeing I had a voicemail and it was from my best friend, I just knew I was in trouble. Listening to it, I busted out laughing. A course she had to say ‘Ahoy Butternuts’ yes it came from a drunken night. Yes, I shouldn’t drink at all. Stretching and yawning, I rolled out of bed finally. Washing my face and brushing my teeth, I messed with my hair before looking at myself in the mirror. Forget it, I wasn’t changing. I would be alright, I might just smell like a French whore but no one was going to care. I sure in the hell didn’t. Grabbing my phone and everything I needed I headed out to go meet Miss Lakota Finch.
Lighting up a cigarette, I placed it between my lips as I made my way to the quad. For the most part, I was still tired and the headache I had came from the hangover from hell. Oh and it had a vengeance. Taking a few drags looking for Sparrow, once noticing her, I put it out and walked over to her. Sitting down next to her, I grabbed the notes from her and put my head in her lap, laying down. Getting comfortable, I laid on my back and looked up at her. “Now what was so damn important that you woke me up from my wonderful sleep?” I questioned with a small smile before poking her nose. Laughing, I closed my eyes, putting her notes on my stomach.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL I was literally just about to get ready and get up to go find him when low and behold, here came Mr. Hayes around the corner. I rolled my eyes just a little bit in a playful manner before leaning back on the bench a little. When he approached me and sat on the bench, taking my notes and laying himself all sprawled out and comfortable on my lap, I couldn’t help but to laugh. “Now what was so damn important that you woke me up from my wonderful sleep?” His voice hit my ears as his finger touched my nose. I laughed and just shrugged, simply, leaning myself down a little so my forehead rested against his chest. “Oh, I don’t know.” I paused before lifting my head up and taking a hand, playing with his hair a little. “Maybe the fact that I wasn’t sleeping with you.” I winked at him before stifling a yawn. “No, but really. I’m seriously fucking tired. Thanks for making me go to class and you don’t. You owe me for the notes I know you’re going to copy.” I said softly with a laugh.
I looked down at him with a little bit of admiration. This guy here was my best friend. And he had been for a very long time, ever since Luke died. He was always there for me; he knows my fears and thoughts and helps me deal with them. He’s, to say the least, the best kind of friend a guy could have. And I loved that. I shrugged my shoulders a bit before leaning back down again to him and letting my nose touch him. “lets go nap now, kay? And you can shower, cause you smell exactly like last night. I’m squeaky clean!” I smirked and bragged to him, giving him a funny little playful look showing how much fun I was having with this.

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
Making myself comfortable, I yawned as I listened to her. It was odd to some how close we were for a sense it was almost like we were in a relationship. It felt like one most of the damn time. Hint, her bitching at me because I wasn’t there. The moment the words about cause she wasn’t sleeping with me came out her mouth, I started laughing. “ I knew you wanted my dick. I’m just so sexy.” Laughing with a grin, I stretched and stayed laying on her. At the moment, I didn’t want to move. “I am not copying your notes, I am just stealing them. Cause I am just a badass like.” Nodding at her, I closed my eyes. Thing was, when I got comfortable, I didn’t exactly like to move. Plus I was still dead tired.
Pulling my shirt up some, I sniffed it before looking over at her. Smelling her, a grin just came to my lips. “I smell like I’ve been to a whore house, I smell like you!” Laughing, I got up quickly because I was more than lightly going to get slapped for it. Abusive I tell you, but that is why I was so close to her I guess. Half the time she didn’t take me serious and hit me when ever she felt like it. It was like we were made for each other, not in that love sap way. “I would have showered but you see some crazy girl calls and leaves messages on my voicemail more less saying she is coming for me. That is scary yes.” Running my fingers through my hair, I kissed her cheek quickly before putting my hand out to her. Covering my mouth with my free hand, I looked back at her almost impatiently. First she made me drink, not really, then woke me up, made me come meet her all to tell me we are going back to sleep. Yes, the magic word in everything she said was lets take a nap.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL I smirked some and shrugged to his first comment. “Oh yes. I want you so bad, Landon.” I said playfully pressing my hand to his chest and dragging my nails along before laughing and letting go. I listened to the rest of what he said, before rolling my eyes. “Oh fuck yes, you’re just that badass you steal my notes when I’m perfectly fine with letting you BORROW them. You think you’re funny, kid.” I laughed before his next comment came. I raised my eyebrow and folded my arms across my chest looking away from him in a playful pissed off way. I stretched just a tiny bit before letting a small yawn out as he continued to talk. “Yeah? Well that crazy girl better mean a lot to you to drag you out of bed. Scary? I think not. If some girl was coming to get me and I was a guy like you? Id be all over that.” I said softly; before he helped me up and kissed my cheek. I smiled to him lightly and hugged him tightly before pulling away and smacking his visible arm kind of hard. “That’s for the whore comment.. so lets go. We’re going to your dorm, just so you know.” I said with a laugh.
I kept his hand in mine before I grabbed my bag and lead him away from the quad all the way back to his dorm room. I finally let go of his hand to try and move the doorknob even though it was locked. I pretended to pout and I moved, leaning against the opposite side of the door frame as I continued pouting as to how come he couldn’t have left it unlocked just for a moment since we were just going to come back here anyway. The way I did things with him was all in a playful manner. Not like I loved him; I mean, I could see myself loving him. But he was my best friend, and sometimes more. Only when we were either a) drunk, or b) upset. It was kind of funny in a way and the more you thought about it. I took a deep breath and turned my gaze to him; my bright green eyes scanning him before turning to the door.

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
Nodding yes to the comment about her meaning a lot to me I smiled. Honestly, she did. For the moment and probably for awhile she was the most important person in my life. Just cause she, understood me. The things I did didn’t effect anything and the random things I did with her, well they hadn’t scared her away yet. “Ouch.” I responded to the slap before laughing. Lacing my fingers with hers, I walked side by side with her to the dorm. Getting there, I just laughed at the way she pouted. “You just look so pitiful.” Shaking my head some, I grabbed my keys out of my pocket. “One of these days, I am giving you a key.” Unlocking the door, I opened it before grabbing her. Picking her up bridal style almost, I carried her inside closing the door with my foot.
Walking to my bedroom, I dropped her on the bed and laughed. “There you go princess, now you can sleep.” Picking up one of the pillows that were on the floor, I threw it at her and smiled. Kicking off my shoes, I slowly started to strip my cloths off. “I’m going take a shower.” Dropping my shirt to the floor, I stretched and yawned. Walking to the bathroom, I undone my belt, pulling it off and letting it fall on the floor. My dorm, most of the time was a mess. I really didn’t care. I could find everything that I needed so that was all that matter.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL Listening to him the entire time we waited there at the dorm for him to get his keys, I just refrained from smiling even though I really wanted to. I laughed softly when he said I was going to get a key. “Bitch, I better.” I offered him one of my genuine smiles and turned to walk in before he picked me up. I did a kind of pitiful yelp squeak thing in shock when he picked me up. I nuzzled into him playfully and felt surprisingly comfortable in his arms until he dropped me onto the bed. I watched him for a second before flinching lightly when the pillow was thrown at me. I rolled over and nuzzled into the pillow almost as if I was sleeping in a ball. You know, kind of like those cute adorable puppies get when they curl up and sleep. That was me, alright. I turned my gaze back to him only to find him stripping. I grinned and raised an eyebrow. “Oh damn. This is getting hot. Take off more, for me?” I raised an eyebrow and started giggling before he left for his shower. I stretched out onto his bed and nuzzled into the other pillow I managed to find. In a moment it seemed like I was passed out. It only seemed like seconds before I fell into a dream state.
I was laying in a coffin at this funeral home with white lilies and roses everywhere around me in dark blue vases. I saw the faces of my family and Landon. They all seemed upset but I think the worst part was as I layed in the coffin, I couldn’t move. I tried to get up and to tell them I was going to be perfectly fine and that I was alive; but I couldn’t move. I instantly started to panic before I saw come up to the edge of the white casket, my brother. That just about stopped me in a heartbeat. His look was saddened; almost exactly like mine when I was at his funeral. I could feel his eyes watching my lifeless body before he turned to our mother and began to cry. Just as I had. Was this what it was like at Luke’s funeral? The only difference were his best friends and me. I took Luke’s place, crying into our mother. My vision in the dream began to get blurry and I woke with a jolt, and with a tear stained face, trembling. What a fantastic half an hour nap, huh?

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
Laughing at her comment, I just wanted into the bathroom closing the door behind me. I was in and out of the shower in a matter of no time. Taking a long shower while sleepy wasn’t really the best idea and they never lasted. Stepping out, I pulled on a pair of pajama pants and dried my hair with the towel. Walking past the bed, I smiled at Sparrow slept. Walking to the kitchen, I took something for my head before walking back into the bedroom. Quietly and softly I crawled into my bed and got comfortable. The second I was comfortable, I was out like a light.
Feeling Sparrow move, I woke up from almost a dead sleep. Rolling over I cuddled against her taking a soft breath. Looking up at her, a great deal of worry washed over me. “What’s wrong,” I asked before I sat up completely. Looking down at her, truth be told it scared me. To see her face stained with her tears and her shaking out fear and depression it seem. Wiping away the tears against her face, I kissed her forehead softly before pulling her close to me, wrapping my arms around her tightly.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL I couldn’t help but to be upset with that dream. It was scary ass shit that was going on. I sat up a little and wiped my eyes and cheeks the best I could. Still trembling, I felt Landons arms wrap around me and pull me close to him. I took a deep stagger of a breath before nuzzling my head into him, exhaling slowly. “fuck my life… just, god.” I breathed before shutting my eyes tightly and nuzzling close to him trying to keep my tears from falling. I could feel the burning sensation on the brim of my eyes still, though. And the pain was visible and easily seen strewn across my face. I lowered my gaze and bit down on my lower lip before I finally decided to tell Landon what I had dreamt that scared me so bad. So I took a deep breath and tried to steady my voice and everything.
“Sorry.. its just, ever since my brother died I get random nightmares.. and that one was horrible… I was laying in the very same casket my brother did during his funeral and everyone came up to see me. And instead of my brothers girlfriend and best friend looking down on me, I saw you. And instead of me walking up to see him, I saw him.. and he turned into my mother and began to cry just like I did.. I swear I think my heart stopped.” I spoke ever so quietly and heart brokenly. I nuzzled into him and shut my eyes tight reaching up to wipe my tears away as they burned to fall again.

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
Listening to her speak, I kissed the top of her head once. Laying back with her, I kept her close to me. Really, I was heart broken for her. “You don’t have to say sorry for anything.” Rubbing over her side, I took in a deep breath looking down at her. At times I had seen her upset and broken but this was completely different. It was real. It was close to home. It was something she couldn’t forget. “Well, first you wouldn’t see me at your funeral. If you die, I swear I would self destruct in a matter of hours.” Kissing over the top of her head once more, I closed my eyes. It was hard to try to comfort her. Its one of those things you don’t know how it is until you are placed in that position. Honestly, I couldn’t tell her it was just a dream because in a way, that happened. Yes it was flipped roles but it happened to her. “Maybe he just wanted to show you how he felt. For you to know that he really misses you. Plus, I’m sure he is watching over you right now. Probably wishing you wouldn’t spend so much time with me too.”
My poor Sparrow. God, I didn’t want to see her like this. Its not that I couldn’t handle it, it was the fact that I couldn’t make it all better for her. There was no way to take the pain away, to take the tears away or to make her just forget. “How about you go take a shower to help you relax again and I’ll order pizza or something?” Running my fingers through her hair, I exhaled softly.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL I exhaled quietly and just nuzzled myself into him more getting slightly comfortable even though I was still slightly shaking. God I hated these nightmares. It scared me to see myself in the very same situation that my brother had been in. And it was something that I wasn’t looking forward to getting to know well, either. I felt Landon kiss the top of my head and I began to relax more and more. My god, if it wasn’t for my Landon, I don’t even know what I’d do. He was my best friend and the one and only guy that I could relate to and him still love me despite all the stupid shit I did. I couldn’t have asked for anything more in a best friend.
I heard his next words and just nodded, and sighed. “Would you self destruct just so we could be together?” I asked curiously, raising my eyebrow and looking up at him with a completely serious face. In honesty, I was probably going to hell. And I wouldn’t want to go alone. I’d pray that he would be there with me. I looked down at he spoke again and shrugged. “I guess… he does it to me a lot though; enough is enough.. its not like I can do anything since he’s been dead.” I kept my gaze down as I sat up and brought my knees to my chest. Then his next words hit my ears and I couldn’t agree more. “that sounds.. amazing.” I leaned over and hugged him tightly kissing his nose with a small smile. Then I got up and headed into the bathroom and started the shower. I got in and just basically let it run my tears and everything away. It fucked up my makeup, but I was sure Landon wouldn’t care. Eventually I was done and got out, drying off and redressing myself. I wiped all my makeup off and dried my hair which began to dry semi straight. It was still wet and kind of sharp looking though. I stepped out of the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed, working on drying my hair a little more.

“Well a course.” I replied to the comment of me doing just to be with her. I knew for a fact, I was going to hell. There was no forgiving my sins and hell I didn’t care. As for Sparrow, I had a feeling she would make it somewhere better when she died. Who didn’t have random faults, we all have to be young no one is perfect. Watching her get up, I smiled and watched her walk into the bathroom. For awhile I didn’t move out of my spot. Rubbing over my eyes, I yawned before looking up at the ceiling. Counting the tiles for the hell of it, yes that was how my mind worked. Getting out of my bed, I grabbed my phone out of my jeans on the floor and headed out.
Reading over the text messages they were all about parties. Delete. Delete. Delete. Even though I was usually up for the good time, I needed my down time. No drinking, no nothing. Just sober. Scrolling through the numbers in my phone, I dialed the number for pizza. Ordering, put the phone on the counter before walking back into the bedroom. “Hey sexy ma’am.” Smiling over at Sparrow I laid back down in bed.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL Landon’s voice hit my ears as I rubbed my hair drier and drier with each passing second. I smiled to him and just let a small laugh out. The shower helped and I knew that he would help. I got up and tossed the towel somewhere before grabbing one of his brushes off the floor and running it through my hair so it was untangled.. then I shook my head and got it into that fierce layered look. I turned back to him as he layed on the bed, and I tossed the brush to the side before getting onto the bed.
I smiled slightly to myself as I crawled up and over him before collapsing on him. “you know how to make me feel better.” I smiled looking up at him as I layed on him. I folded my arms a little so that my head and chin could rest on my hands as I gazed at him; my body slightly covering his in my smallish stature. I took a few seconds to admire him before I rolled over and layed on my back looking up at the ceiling, moving my arms so they rested above my head. I cleared my throat lightly before taking a deep breath deciding to say something until I thought against it. I just exhaled and tilted my head a little bit to him and rested my hand on my forehead; smugly smiling.

[ ------------------------------ THE DRUG IN ME IS YOU
Nodding and smiling at her words, I looked over at her when she moved. Honestly, if I ever got a girlfriend, I think we would break up in a week time. Because of Sparrow. That was my best friend and honestly I wouldn’t pick anyone else over her if I had to. Putting my hand on her stomach, I tapped my fingers against it. Watching at as my tattooed fingers moved, I grinned at I looked up at her. Thinking for awhile, I just rested my hand on her stomach before looking back up at the ceiling. The smirk still painted lightly against my lips.
“Sparrow…” my voice was serious as I looked back over at her. There was no expression in my face at all. “You know, I hate that you lie to me.”[/color Shaking my head some, I looked down and away as if I was disappointed. “Why can’t you just tell me the truth?” Frowning, I looked back up at her before taking in a deep breath and holding it for a while. “I know you are pregnant with my child.” Some how, I kept a straight face as I rubbed over her stomach. This was exactly why I was best friends with her and no one else.

------------------------------ & THEN I KNEW YOU WERE TREATED LIKE HELL I raised my eyebrows when he said I was lying to him. I said nothing though until he finished everything that he said. Finally after he said that I was pregnant with his kid, I laughed. And couldn’t really help myself from stopping. Finally once I did, I took a deep breath and rolled over facing him. “I hate how you know that.” I pretended to pout. “what makes you think its yours though!? We need to go on Jerry. Be all like, I don’t know who my baby’s daddy is!” I laughed. I sat up as I heard my phone go off and the number wasn’t recognizable. I let it ring to voicemail though and smiled back at Landon before it rang again. I rolled my eyes and sat up, grabbing my phone and answering it.
“Hey doll, when are we going to get together again?” the voice from the other side of the phone spoke to me. I was kind of sure that the voice could be semi heard in the quiet room and I hoped he wouldn’t say anything that would make Landon upset. I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes once more. “first off, I don’t know who you are… second, never.” I said calmly, focusing down at the comforter that I began to play with. “You don’t remember me? I sure as hell remember you. You were the best ive had.” I mentally slapped myself. “I’m sure you have the wrong number.” I said softly. “Wait, Lakota…” I heard the voice say as I shut the phone off and shook my head. I looked back to Landon as there was a knock at the door from the pizza.
