Kristen had just got home from school and was sitting down in her living room re-reading the “New Moon” book when her best friend Joel barged into huge Alabama house and ran up the stares in the direction of her room. Her hazel brown eyes looked up from the book in a hurry as she brushed her blonde hair out of her face to see who it was and when she figured it out, she threw her converses off the couch and onto the floor to run over to her room. Before she has a chance to get to the room and check what he was doing Joel came out of the room in a rush, brushing his brown hair out of his face and slicking it back. Kristen was confused and had no idea what was going on.
“Joel what’s wrong with you? Why do you look like that and why did yu just run in here like that?” Kristen asked Joel concerned.
“I have to tell you something really important but you can not tell anybody and you can’t get mad at me. Do you promise?” He said looking at the ground and not in Kristens face.
“Okay sure Joel, are you in trouble?” Kristen said confused
“No. Well yes. No like sort of. Last year I was involved with a gang which I am not going to get into but while I was with them they gave me something which I left in your bookcase and now I need it,” Joel said looking at Kristen straight in her eyes to try to see any emotion in her face.
“What are you talking about? What did you leave in my room?” Kristen asked confused.
“This is what it is,” he said while pulling a gun out of the inside his jacket pocket. She stood there and couldn’t believe her eyes. She couldn’t speak and her stomach started to feel real funny.
“Omg, why do you have a gun? What are you going to do with it? Joel what kind of trouble are you in?” Kristen was so shocked and confused that she felt like she was going to faint. The next moment Joel pulled out a pocket knife that she had had on a desk in her room.
“I don’t have time to explain, im sorry Kristen but I have to leave now. I will explain it all later,” he said as approached the door and slammed the it behind him.
All that Kristen could do was stand there helpless and confusd. She sat down on the sofa trying to think of what she should do. Her cat jumped on top of her and rubbed against her which made Kristen feel a little better. After a while she remembered something that Joel had brung to her the other day. The needle for the drugs. This would be the only way that she could forget about the whole insident and make her relax. So she walked to her room and looked for the stuff to help her get better like it always had.
