in sight became a white blur.
I didn’t like this. I had no control over anything as my
system rebelled feverishly and my body started to vibrate.
“Spirit, honey, what have you taken?” I heard Bulk ask
before the violent jerking started.
“I… New stuff… I…”
My throat exploded as my brain burst and sent shards of
ice through my veins, its torrent of agonising blows punching my guts and making
my skin recoil, threatening to crush my bones in its relentless anger.
“Bulk… please….” I screamed out as a brutalising pain
ripped through me and clamped hold of my lungs, squeezing them strictly until I
couldn’t get the air I needed to breathe.
“I’m here, baby. Romeo, phone an ambulance…”

Whoever had sold her the damn drugs were gonna meet with my
fists until they couldn’t breathe and were begging me to end them.
It was like fucking history repeating itself and I paced
the corridor whilst the doctors decided whether to let her live or die.
I shouldn’t be feeling… like this; disappointed, sad,
angry, restless - fucking terrified.
Spirit was nothing got me…
Nothing!
Absolutely – fucking – nothing!
So why the fuck did my heart hurt?
Those words… the same ones Shona had said to me, leaving
her lips, exactly the same…
Fuck! I was fucked!
“Any news?” Janey asked as she approached me.
I shook my head without looking at her. I was angry with
her, why the hell hadn’t she stopped her?
“She needs help, Bulk.”
I scoffed loudly and turned to her, “Yeah, some from her friends
wouldn’t go amiss.”
Her jaw dropped before she clenched it tightly and an
angry tic appeared in her right eyelid. She palmed my chest and I could feel
her anger vibrating through them, “Don’t you fucking dare, you arsehole. She
got high cos’ you fucked with her head!”
I narrowed my eyes on her, my worry over Spirit bringing
out a side in me I didn’t like. “What the hell? We fucked, end of,” I raged,
trying to convince myself as well as Janey that’s all it had been. “There was
nothing for her to get ripped over!”
She barked out a bitter laugh, “You know something, Bulk?
I actually thought you might be good for her, but you’re just like Kenny. Take
all you can from her and screw her with it. That fucking girl has never been
given a break, dragging herself through life, being kicked into the gutter time
after fucking time. I thought you might be the good guy, the bloody hero she
needs but you are a God damn selfish prick who can’t see past the end of his
dick.”
“I am nobody’s knight in shining armour, Janey. No
fuckers hero, especially to a woman who can’t get through the day without the
escape of drugs.” I stormed, now past the level of control even though her
words were tearing through me and slapping me hard in the face with their
truths. “Who are you to blame me when Spirit’s so fucked up she can’t even lean
on her friends and uses the aid of artificial friends to haul her
ass through life. So don’t fuck with me when you’re a shit friend, and Spirit
is the only reason she’s laid on that fucking bed having her fucking guts
pumped and her blood stream siphoned!”
My stomach clenched as a strangled sob caused Janey’s
face to crumple. “Stay away from her you arrogant fuck!” She hissed before she
pushed past me and stormed towards the emergency room where Spirit was being
treated.
Fuck!
Fuck!
“Nice!”
I turned to see Boss glaring at me, his eyes damning and
shocked. “First you ignore my advice, then you beat the crap out of Romeo, then
you alienate the whole of River’s Ink… just, epic, epic Bulk!” He shook his
head with a sickened expression and followed Janey down the hallway.
“God damn it!” I roared as my fist connected with the
wall, “Just…. FUCK!”
“Whoa, drag it in!” Romeo scowled as he took hold of my
fist to stop the mutilation of my knuckles.
“Shit, Romeo” I scoffed as
