Part 4

“Good morning. Can I come in?”, Tina asked with a friendly smile on her face.
Jenny looked up from her dish and the newspaper to see who was standing there.
“Yeah sure. Good morning, Tina”, Jenny smiled and stood up to get Tina a cup of coffee.
“I hope you want some”, she added.
“I would love some. I haven´t really slept since Bette came home with Carmen”, Tina explained and sat down.
“How is she doing?”, Jenny asked and sat down again.
“She was walking around through the house until…I don´t know the sun came up. Now she´s finally sleeping. I just can´t believe that she let herself hook up with a guy”, Tina said half bewilderd half laughing about the whole situation.
“I know. Her family means a lot to her”, Jenny replied sighing.
“Anyways, she can stay in our guestroom until she has found something of her own. She doesn´t want to go back to her family. I think last night opened her eyes”, Tina informed and took a sip of her coffee.
“But maybe too late. Shane still didn´t come back. I haven´t seen her since last night”, Jenny explained with a worried undertone.
“She´ll be home soon. I know her. She just needs some time alone. Then she´ll come back home, won´t go to work and sleep through the whole day. That´s Shane”, Tina said smilying.
“But…she is doing drugs again…I think”, Jenny told Tina inscure.
“Did she tell you?”, Tina asked pensively now looking at Jenny.
“No, but she is acting wired. I knew that she was taking drugs when she moved in here but not so often. After work she comes home locks herself into her room and comes out in the middle of the night. She woke me up really often with loud music or just talking aloud to herself. She didn´t know where she was anymore and her eyes had this different look. And in the morning she was always hung-over.”, Jenny explained with relief that she could finally tell someone.
“I think we really need to talk to her when she comes back”, Tina said solicitously.

While they were talking Shane enterd the front door.
The only thing she could remember from last night was Carmen. The rest were just blurry visions from a horrible trip.
She could really kick this guys ass who sold her this f*cked up sh*t.
Still she couldn´t see clearly and her head and heard were near to explode, it seems like her back already got numb.
Someone called her name right from the kitchen.
It´s seemed to be Jenny. But it could be one of the imaginary figures too, that followed her since she took this chemical stuff she even didn´t know.
But she went or better said staggered to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
In the hope to find some painkillers which she knew wouldn´t make better but at least stop the pain in her head she opened the bath cabinet above the washstand and searched for the little jar.
“Where the f*ck is it?”, she muttered and threw everything to the bottom.
Outside she heard Jenny and someone else talking.
She couldn´t find the pills.
