okay? We’re almost there and I want to have a good time scaring the shit out of you with James’ ghost.” He tries to brighten the mood. I rest my head on his shoulder.
    “There’s no such thing as ghosts Drew.” I argue. He lays his head on mine as we continue our way to the caverns. He hums the song that plays on the radio and my mind sets on one person.

    “I honestly can’t believe how beautiful it is in here.” Whispering in Drew’s ear, not to disturb anyone doing the tour. My hand is a vice around his but he doesn’t mind. He knows how petrified I am of being in here. It does help that I’m not alone. One woman has her head buried in her husband’s neck and refused to look at anything, making me giggle. “Okay, I know I’m not that bad.” I point in her direction.
    “No, but I would like to regain some circulation in my hand.” He chuckles in my ear. “Don’t worry Jenna, we’ve got to be almost done. I was thinking of crashing here for the night. Then tomorrow, as long as you don’t have any episodes, we can try to drive through.”
    “What?” I asked surprised. “And not stop and see the Graceland and the world’s largest ball of twine.” He shoves me with his shoulder.
    “Shut up and listen to the tour.” He smiles down at me. “Graceland would be cool though.” I look up at him and wiggle my brow.
    “Deal.” I say. “Since you made me suffer a tour in the dark, you can suffer through some blue suede shoes.” He puts his hands over my mouth as the tram moves forward again.
    “Will you shut up already?” He warns. I poke out my tongue and lick his hand causing him to gross out and remove it. “Nasty Jenna. Just nasty.” He says laughing.
    After eating an all you can eat buffet, we walk back to the hotel. He knew it would be a good time to burn off some calories after dinner. That’s why he insisted on us walking to dinner. Of course, I knew better.
    “So.” He says.
    “So.” I keep my eyes away from him as we walk alongside each other. When the going gets tough, I try my best to avoid his deep blue eyes at all costs. He is one of the few people that can literally see straight through me.
    “How are you feeling?” He asks. “And don’t give me any of the ‘I’m fine’ bullshit too. I want to know exactly everything.”
    “I don’t have a craving if that’s what you asked. And to be perfectly honest. I didn’t even have a craving when I used.”
    “Can I ask you something?” He stops walking. I turn and face him and nod. “Why did you do it? I mean. If you didn’t even crave it, why do it in the first place?”
    I shrug and drop my head in shame. “I… I honestly don’t know Drew.” That’s all I can give him. Keeping my head down. “I thought it would be an out for me. I didn’t plan it. I never do. It was always a way out for me. I never really craved it to be honest. Because it was always available.”
    “How did you know where to find it?”
    “Gabe.” I say. I can hear him huff. I look up at him immediately and take a step toward him. “No, no. That’s not what I meant. He didn’t give it to me.” I try to explain. “When we just got into town and he was taking me around showing me the sites and his history. I had noticed some kids hanging around. He mentioned that area where the kids were was bad news.”
    “I bet he regrets saying shit to you about it once he finds out that’s where you got it from.”
    “Don’t tell him. No one needs to know Drew. Can’t we just keep this between us? I feel like shit even buying it let alone taking it.”
    “One more question, then I’ll drop it completely.” He takes my shoulders. “When we found you, you had dust all over your face. And the bag was half empty. How much did you use Jenna? Because it’s been a few days, and I can still see you struggling with shakes.”
    In shame, I rest my head on his chest. “I don’t remember anything past the first three or four lines.” Tears begin
