The Drug

__

Poseidon, the god ofthe sea and protector of all aquatic features, also know as dad.Seamen worshipped him just as he worshipped Demeter, also known asmum, in an effort to impress her he decided to create the first horsebut for the most part this failed and although he continued to try heended up making a variety of other animals in his quest. His effortswent unnoticed and Demeter fell for him, if only for a second, but itwas long enough to bring you into his world. Although he loved youmore than anything he continued to work on this one animal and by thetime the horse was created, his passion for your mother haddiminished, leaving you without a father and her without a lover. Ithurt to know after all the effort he went through to create this oneanimal the spark fizzled out but that didn’t stop you frombelieving in true love and passion, it also didn’t stop you askingyour mother time and time again to tell you the story of there shortbut sweet love. The idea that someone could love another so much thatthey were determined to create something they saw as the mostbeautiful animal just because they were asked was infatuating to youand you hoped that one day you’d find someone with the same burningpassion.

Aphrodite was thegoddess of love, desire and beauty. Aphrodite was married toHephaestus however, she had an affair with Ares, the god of war, thisresulted in them splitting up but there was something good that cameout of all of this, she had a son, the same age as you, Ashton. Hewas just like his mother, he was beautiful but played on what otherswanted, he would say and do things he knew you wanted just to fulfilyour desires for a day. To him this was a good thing, it made youhappy if only for a short while but he could never truly see thedamage he was creating, leading people to believe there was somethingthere between the two, only to throw it away when he found someonewith new desires, ones he hadn’t done yet. Because of all of thisyou were told from a young age to stay clear of them both, at firstyou were unsure as to why because nobody actually told you what wasso bad about them. Aphrodite’s beauty captivated you and Ashton’scharm drew you in regardless of how much you resisted you couldn’thelp it. It wasn’t until your mother Demeter found you talking tothe two, hands behind your back as you giggled at Ashton’s jokesand asked Aphrodite what it was like to be the goddess of love, thenyou were ripped away from the pair, a look of confusion on all yourfaces as your mother mumbled something about supper, regardless of itbeing early morning. It wasn’t until she explained Aphrodite’sfull past and Ashton’s ways that you understood why she did thatand you promised to keep clear of them both from then on, vowing notto let them get to you.

As time went on youfound it surprisingly difficult to avoid Ashton and his mother,watching from a far as the two hooked people in with there charm andbeauty unbeknown by them what would happen. Ashton was like a drug,you were scared to go near him at first but soon enough after seeinghow high others felt with just a small portion of him, the affect hehad, it made you curious. You wanted to experience the feeling butyou never saw anyone when they came back down, how torn up they were,desperate to get just one more taste of him but he’d already movedon to the next one, getting them just as high. Ashton knew you werewatching him, waiting for the perfect moment to draw you in, he wasalways so fascinated by you, the way you cared for all of yourfathers creations, no matter how insignificant, how delicate you werewith the creatures. He wanted to make all of your desires come alivebut not just for a moment like the others, he didn’t want it to beover in the blink of an eye because he couldn’t stand to turn ablind eye to your comedown, how devastated you would be to watch himleave for someone else. He wanted you for the rest of eternity andhe’d stop at nothing to get it. At first he started off small,taking note of your interests and how he could use them to pleaseyou, then things got a little bigger, keeping an eye on the seacreatures you cared for, making sure nothing happened to them simplybecause he knew how much you loved them, then he did somethingunexpected.

“Hi” Ashton’svoice was smooth but still managed to startle you, causing you tojump as you made your way home, quickly turning your heart began tobeat faster than before as the tall blond presented himself in frontof you, a warm smile on his face. Panic settled in as the story yourmother told you about both him and his mother ran through your head,you needed to get away but you didn’t know how “hi erm, I don’thave time to talk I’m sorry, I’ve got to get home. I’m sorry”you rambled, avoiding eye contact as his smile faltered, confusiontaking over the otherwise mesmerising features.  He was shocked, alittle hurt and confused as to why you were trying to get away soquickly, after only a single word was spoken but he could see youwere uncomfortable and chose not to pester you “oh, okay I guessI’ll see you around then” and with that said Ashton walked away,already planning on what to say during his next encounter, you on theother hand didn’t think twice about it, turning back around andalmost running home just to get in the clear before someone saw youand ratted you out to your mother. You didn’t need another lectureas to why you should stay away from the boy. That was the end of it,or so you thought. Within a couple of weeks Ashton found himselftrying to come up with ways to not only gain your trust but to getyou to actually talk to him without wanting running away, he landedon doing this he knew you enjoyed, knowing you wouldn’t stop doingthem and it would give him a chance to get you to open up. Sureenough it worked, he started to visit the stables you worked at,wanting to learn how to ride a horse and take care of them, you ofcourse having to be the one to teach him thanks to him charming theowner into letting you do it over her and that’s how it all began.A blooming friendship that would soon turn into something neither ofyou expected, love.

Detached

__

Everything feltweird to you, nothing had changed since you were away, not even theneighbours. It was surreal and you found yourself doing things youdid as a kid, waking up around ten, get ready for the day beforeheading over to the Hoods house. Calum would sit on the edge of thecouch every morning, taking quick glances through the window to seeif he could spot you walking past just so he could be the one to openthe door and be the first one to greet you with a smile and hug. MrsHood would urge you to come into the kitchen where the rest of hisfamily would sit around the table, eating breakfast and talking aboutwhat they’d do for the day, asking questions and cracking jokes,you’d laugh along, joining in as if nothing had changed. It waslike you were still kids, swinging your legs as you sat on the edgeof the seat because your feet were just that little bit shorter,stuffing yourselves with fluffy pancakes and washing them down withorange juice, sometimes challenging each other to see who couldfinish first, Calum still always one of course, you’d get a stomachache halfway through and have to sit listening to his cheers ofvictory whilst Mr Hood simply shook his head, trying to hide a smile,Mali couldn’t contain her laughter, letting the sound drift throughthe house causing everyone else to follow in toe. There was alwayssomething about that house that just brought joy to even the worstdays.

Aweek went by, spent with justCalum, exploring your own home and finding the old parks had beendone-up. Hours past as you sat on the swing sets with him by yourside, feet planted firmly on the ground as your legs pushed you backand forth lightly, listening to every letter that fell from his lipsas he filled you in on everything going on with his life, it wasmostly the stuff he hadn’t told anyone else because he’d neverfelt as close to someone as he did with you and of course you feltthe same. Taking in turns to fill each other in on what felt likelife changing events, past relationships, the ups and downs of schooland everything in between. Everything felt right in those momentsuntil the words you always dreaded fell from his lips, turning yourwhole world upside down “so yeah, now I have a girlfriend” yourheart sank and your smile dropped for a second, looking to the flooryou swallowed the lump in your throat, forcing the corners of yourlips to raise again you looked back up at him “that’s great news,I can’t wait to meet the lucky girl” you lied, adding a playfulnudge to make it more believable. Thetruth was, coming home and spending time with him made you realizeyou’ve been in love with him this whole time but he clearly didn’tsee you as more than a best friend since he had a girlfriend and thatcrushed you inside. “Hey, Cal!” a loud voice echoed through thepark as both your heads turned behind you to find three tall guys,dressed in black, making there way towards you too, your heart racedas he smiled at them before looking back at you. Wanting any excuseto leave you stood to your feet, grabbing your things in a hurry ashe looked to you with a face of confusion “I er” you looked atthe three guys quickly approaching before back to Calum “I said I’dhelp my mum with some stuff around the house so I’ll see you later”you smiled, taking a few steps backwards as he blinked, not fullyaware of what was going on “okay, I’ll see you tomorrow?” itwas more of a question but you nodded regardless before turningaround and making a swift exit out of the other side of the park,ignoring the calls from his friends, asking you to come back.

Theworld felt like it was crumbling down around you as his words spunaround in your head I have a girlfriend, itwas taunting you, making you want to scream to block out the soundbut every time you closed your eyes all you saw was his fingersinterlocked with someone else. Nobody deserved Calum or appreciatedhim like you did, not the way the corner of his eyes crinkled up whenhe smiled or how his dimples shined through, not the passion in hisvoice when he spoke about his love for the bass or just music ingeneral. He deserved the world and someone who could at least try andgive him it, you thought you were the only one who could do that butyou were wrong, as time went on you slowly drifted apart, the onlytime you spent together was spent talking about how incredible hisgirlfriend was and you had to sit there and listen with a smile as itkilled you inside. Day by day you stopped going over to the Hoodhouse, being there soon felt wrong, almost like you were intruding,his girlfriend should be the one sat at the table not you, she shouldbe joining in on the laughter not you. Calum continued to sit on theedge of the couch each morning, knee bouncing as he waited for yourarrival that sometimes never came, he couldn’t understand whathappened but was too afraid to ask. Mrs Hood watched as her son satwatching the clock tick away, refusing to do anything but wait untilyou arrived, not wanting you to miss another second of the fun times.He stopped eating, seeing his friends and his girlfriend in fear thatif he moved, even for a minute he’d miss you but after while andsome convincing he stopped waiting and went back to his old ways butthe light in his eyes fizzled out because you were the one who put itthere, he was never the same after that, less passionate and lost theskip in his step just like you but neither of you dare to confrontthe other so you just moved on and moved away from each other,searching for the missing piece of the puzzle that brought sunshineon even the worst days. It slowly killed you but there was nothingyou could do. Not everyone can keep there soulmate.
