Friday night Friday night. A night for celebrating. A night for partying. A night for being with friends. And for me, a night to shoot up, hook up and party up. My heart is racing. Perspiration evident on my forehead. It's almost time. I've been waiting, craving, a single thought dominating every second of every day.
The bus arrives and I board. My excitement, unable to be contained, is clear on my face. The bus arrives at my stop. I run off the bus and don’t stop till I reach unit block 37. My fingers shake with adrenalin as I push the intercom button. There is a brief pause, then a familiar voice. "Yeah?" "ARE YOU READY TO PARTY?" I yell enthusiastically down the receiver. Almost instantly there is a loud "beep" and the door to the foyer opens.
Instead of taking the lift I run up the stairs. I feel my heart rate accelerate. Blood now racing around my body. I don’t even need to knock. The door is open. Alexis is my best friend. She takes me higher than the clouds, whilst still holding my feet firmly on the ground. I enter the laundry. Sitting on the washing machine upon a white towel is what i've been waiting for. What i’ve been craving. My love. My only love. It’s already made up. I smile to myself, Alexis is so considerate. I fasten a piece of rubber tubing around my bicep and wait. It doesn’t take long for my veins to become prominent. Succulent. Running up the stairs helped. The needle enters my skin cold, indulgent. It used to hurt; it doesn’t take long though for the feeling to fade into pure bliss. I draw it back an am momentarily enchanted as I watch my blood mix with its contents. I push down slowly. Savouring every second as it is pushed into my blood stream. Instantly I am forced to grab the washing machine to stable myself. I’m swimming in a sea of ecstasy. I’m standing on a mountain of pleasure. Walking through a land of euphoria. No longer contained by the walls of inhibitions, pain, fatigue and worries. I am free; free to be me. Alexis is getting dressed. It is Alexis tradition to dress in the lounge room. I don’t mind. Her tanned athletic figure is a familiar and comforting sight. Alexis puts on a low-cut green dress that makes her eyes glow magically. We do one last check. Smokes - check Money - check Pills - check Keys - check and we're off. It’s a thirty minuet drive to icy cove. Feeling too good to be confined to a car, we make a unanimous decision to first stop in at the local bar. Though i’m not eighteen it’s remarkable what a little black dress, four inch heels and a blow dryer can achieve. We’re not there for long. Six vodka shots are sufficient. Feeling truly alive and pumped we head for the car.
The pounding base and laser lights ignite my senses into overdrive. We make our way over to the D.J and dance. I dance hard, stomping, moving, and jumping. The beat flows through me, around me. I can feel it, touch it. The night air feels like cashmere against my skin. I grab Alexis's hand. Hands entwined we spin. The world spins with us. Though we stop the world continues to spin. A blur of happiness and contentment. But I know it won’t last. I make my way across the floor. Strobes give me a sensory overload and I am momentarily disorientated and my mind takes an extended moment to adjust to the change in lighting, surroundings and atmosphere as I enter the bathrooms. I check my make up and chuckle at the dilation of my pupils.
As I exit I spot a satyr across the room. A cute boy with rainbow coloured eyes and a seductive smile. Without speaking we walk, holding each others hands towards the beach. He doesn’t need to ask. The marks on my arms and pupils tell it all. I don’t mind, his tell a similar story. The kind stranger and I have a hit and kiss. Though not one word has been spoken we both know what each other is all about. We go looking for Alexis. She is still dancing. Once she spots me we hug in celebration. Celebration of our youth, out happiness, our momentary freedom. "We've lived a thousand years today baby, all we have is now" ~LIVE~
