What doesn't kill you...

Chapter 5

"Abbs why don't you drive with us so you don't have to drive later if you're tired or drunk" says Luke with a laugh.

"Trust me, I won't get drunk" I smile playfully.

"But you can still get tired!" he points.

"What about my car?" I laugh.

"I have an idea, why don't you come with us and then if it's still early we'll bring you back so you can drive home, but if it's late you can stop at our house and when we start the shift tomorrow we'll bring you back here" Ashton suggests.

Maybe that's not a bad idea ... but wait.

My drug therapy.

How could I forget that.

"Abby? Are you still there?" Calum says with a chuckle.

I wake up from my thoughts.

"Oh yes sorry" I laugh "I think it's okay, but I have to go in the car for a moment, I have to take some things" I say.

"I'm going with you, it's dark" Luke suggests.

"No no, it's alright. You start going" I say.

"But you don't even know what our car is" laughs Calum.

What the hell was going on?
Abby activates your brain.

"Okay then wait for me here it will take me a second" I say and with that I run to my car.

Here I need a plan.
If I take the medicines now, in the morning if I have to be at their house I can take them secretly in the bathroom? Why not.

I get in the car and take my pills quickly.

I look at myself in the car mirror.

God, I'm a little messy ....

I put some mascara I had in my bag.
I style my hair more systematically in a high ponytail with two strands out.
I put on some perfume and take the glasses.
I eat a gum at least my breath tastes like mint.
And last but not least, I put all the medicines in the bag.

But some medicines are at home.
I can survive for once, can't I?

I get out of the car and run towards them.

"Hey guys here I am"

"God, what did you do in the car? A makeover?" Michele laughs.

"Funny. I just combed Sherlock" I say.

"Did you get everything?" asks Luke.

I look at him like he's crazy.
He saw me?

"I mean your stuff, did you get all your stuff?" He smiles a bit confused.

I sigh in relief.

"Oh yes, sorry I didn't understand what you said" I laugh.

"Okay let's go then" he smiles then gently approaching me saying "You are really beautiful by the way" he says as if he is embarrassed and I think my face has changed color to pink.

"I just finished work. I'm a mess!" I laugh.

"Well, I don't think so. And you would always have been a beautiful mess anyway" he says.

I was speechless.

"Thank you" I smile shyly.

We get in the car and Michael starts driving.
