simon
i ran as fast as i could through the rain to the nearest shop.
i needed them.
i urged the feeling of toxic smoke in my lungs.
so i smoked.
i lit the cigarette and placed it between my lips as i inhaled the lethal vapour that destroyed my once healthy lungs.
when i got back home, i slipped my phone out of the pocket of my drenched hoodie and dialed josh's number.
"hey simon!" he said in bad quality, since the signal was weak.
"josh," i choked out between sobs, "i know you just left but could we-"
"i'll be there in five," he interrupted me, sounding worried.
"thank you," i cried before he hung up.
"what happened?" he said as he pulled me into a comfortable embrace.
i buried my neck deeper into his shoulder and relaxed in his arms.
"callum," i started as i studied his face which was now plastered with a confused expression.
"callum airey, your best friend,"
"he's my ex."
