Yours,

Tali Stripes

* * *

Tali’s first visit,we never left my bedroom. It was pretty much the same on her second and third visit. It hurt to want her this badly. The way I wanted her was constant and drove me to distraction. And when she left, there was an emptiness in me I couldn’t seem to fill anymore.

Dazed, exhausted, unsure what to do with myself after she left the fourth time, I tapped on Seven’s bedroom door before cracking it open.

He glanced up from his computer. “What’s up? The girl leave?”

“Yeah. Tali’s gone.”

He stared at me with an expectant smirk. “Need something?”

Rubbing the back of my neck, I sucked in a breath. “Got anything to take the edge off?”

“Hell yeah I do.” He swung around in his deck chair and opened the drawer of his bedside table. He picked up an orange container, rattling the pills inside. “Come on in, we’ll get you fixed right up.”

I knew the pill he gave me wouldn’t fix a damn thing, but the lies it whispered convinced me I didn’t care.
