āWhatās wrong?ā
His head snaps up with my innocent question.
āAre you serious right about now?ā he asks me, his eyes wide and boring into me. āYouāre asking me whatās wrong...ā
āYeah,ā I say, gulping back against my dry throat. āYou canāt be angry about this.ā
āI canāt?ā he queries, his eyebrows shooting up, his eyes widening.
āI deserve this,ā I say, reiterating the words to make them real.
āCome here,ā he orders gently, ignoring my plea.
I do as Iām told, moving toward him slowly. Itās as I get close enough, he reaches inside, placing a hand around my left wrist. He pulls my arm out and through the bars, forcing it to become outstretched and on show. His fingers begin to trail across the points which Santiago forced those needles into my veins, getting his immediate response to me on drugs. They left angry pinpricks across my skin, showing exactly where the high started.
āItās nothing,ā I tell him once more, trying my hardest to get my hand back from him.
He scoffs on that response, not letting me go. āWhat have they been forcing you to take?ā He asks, his fingers falling away from the track marks.
āHeroin,ā I whisper, my eyes dropping in shame.
āAnd you want some more?ā he asks me, his eyes coming up to meet mine.
I donāt speak, I just bite down on my lip.
Javierās face darkens once more, but heās yet to let me go.
āYou do donāt you?ā
āItās all I can think about,ā I admit, shamefulness filters into my system, positioned right next to the deep rooted craving. āJust something to make me feel better.ā
āIt wonāt help,ā he tells me, trying to make me face up to the facts.
āIt will... for a moment,ā I admonish foolishly. I yank my arm away from him, moving a little further away from the bars. āItāll help,ā I say it more to appease my own fragile mentality, not to force Javier to believe me. āIt will, Javier, itāll make this all better.ā
And now he sees the girl who was presented to him on his first day. The girl with the slow burning addiction and the eager need for punishment in order to justice her every sin.
I took everything that was dealt my way as a way of chastisement. My boss and his son had no idea they were helping a criminal get her penalty for being just as bad as everyone else. Now Javier sees it. Heās slowly seeing what Eighteen is really made of.
