love The Way You Lie

Orlando nodded, "well leave it up to me to show you."

;:;

She smiled, "as am i."

Later they were all in the kitchen cooking dinner.

"Jesus fucking christ." Roxy muttered as she accidentally dropped a glass in the stink, she had had the shakes for the past hour. "I can't fucking take this anymore."

Jess glared at her, "Can you seriously not stop your antics for a fucking day?"

"It's not like I can help it!" Roxy snapped, "My body is going through withdrawal!"

Jess rolled her eyes, "yeah fucking right. Everyone is beyond tired of your fucking whining."

"Jessica!" Orlando snapped. Jess glared at him.

"She's sick, Jess!" Dom finally said.

Jess turned her fury to her boyfriend, "always some fucking excuse with you. You beat my ass because you were 'sick'. You screwed around because you were 'sick'. Etc etc etc. What the fuck ever!"

"He was wrong." Roxy said, "But he can't change the past."

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP STICKING UP FOR EACH OTHER?!" Jess snapped.

She stormed off and the silence was deafening. They all jumped as she slammed het door.

Roxy sighed and shook her head, "It's fine. Clearly this is too much for her. I'll get out of her hair. I'll be on the first flight out of here to New York tomorrow morning." With that she left and slammed the door to she and Orlando's room.

"You're not going back to New York!" Orlando grumbled as he came in and she was packing.

"Yes, actually I am." She glared at him.

*&*

Dom just stood there, staring at their door. He wanted to go in to her.

"Ignore your sister. She is just having a hard time." Orlando pleaded.

(;(

Dom instead chose to go chill on the couch.

"Give me a reason to stay." Roxy said simply, she and Orlando had been doing an awkward dance for two weeks now. She kissed him.

*&*

Dom had a moment of weakness and thought about looking through the downstairs bathroom's medicine cabinet, in case the last people to stay left anything.

He pushed her away.

;:;

He found a couple of bottles, much to his surprise.

Roxy looked at him with confusion, "What? But I thought you lik-..You've been flirting with me since I got here."

*&*

Dom slipped them into his pocket and went back onto the couch.

He nodded, "i do like you."

Khk

He went back to the couch and turned on the tv.

"And you pushed me away because?" Roxy made a face.

"It's so early in your sobriety, this isn't a good time." Orlando said simply.

"Jesus christ." She snapped, "Could you stop acting like you're a damned saint for ONE MINUTE!"

Orlando glared at her, "i have respect for you."

"You are seriously no fun." She grumbled as she started packing clothes into a bag again.

He sighed, "i am going to go talk to jess."

Roxy shrugged and turned her back to him, he ran a hand through his hair before leaving. After he walked to Jess's room, Roxy ventured out and saw Dom on the couch, "Some fucking night..." She mumbled as she sunk into the couch next to him.

He fished the bottles out of his pocket.

Roxy looked at the bottles then at him then bottles again. She was upset, tired, and sick of feeling sick. She just wanted a fix.

They shared a knowing look and made the biggest mistake they could make at the time.

As the high sunk in, their pain eased.

The began smiling again.
