Jason is trying to learn my whole life. He's been sitting here for two hours.
I am not telling anything.

"Do you have any siblings?", he asks.

"Just leave..."

"Don't be so cranky. I just want to be your friend. You don't have any friends anyway."

"Well, thanks for reminding me i am a loser.", i say.

He just sits there in silence for a minute.
I don't need to be so cranky. Maybe i can lie for my life. He'll just leave me alone then.

"Okay, i'll tell you about me. But you'll leave me alone right after it. Deal?"

"I don't make deals. But i won't be so obnoxious from now on. I promise.", he laughs.

How can a person be so cheerful?

"Okay. I am 16, i live with my mom, my stepdad and my little sister. Happy?"

"That's all?", he asks.

"Well, what did you expect? I am not wonder woman or something! I don't have an interesting life, i think i made that clear."

"Okay...then why are you on drugs?"

"What?"

"Those pills are not for medical issues."

"And how do you know?"

"Because i...i used to take them too.", he admits blushing.

"Huh? The innocent Jason used to take illegal medicine?"

"He used to. But i stopped. My...dad is the manager of a help center. For teens addicted to drugs."

This is all so clear now. Of course. Who would like to be my friend?

"Okay you can stop talking to me now. I get it. I guess you saw me taking pills and wanted to help me like your dad is helping other teenagers? That's it? You want to help me and then tell everybody you helped a girl stop taking drugs? And never talk to me again?"

I am really angry. This world is so messed up. People only care about themselves and no one else.

"Of course not!! I am not like this!"

"Sure, whatever you say."

"Look. If you don't believe me, let's make a deal.", he says upset.

"You don't make deals."

"You are an exception."

I think about it. I shouldn't trust a stranger. I shouldn't make this deal. But my life is so fucked up-what else do i have to lose?

"Go on.."

"Okay. I'll note down your life. For my journalism project."

I raise my eyebrows.

"So this is all about a project."

"Indeed."

"For drugs?", i ask expressionless.

"Ugh..kinda. I just want to know why do you need them. And write it down."

Daniel will be really angry if he finds out. And he's gonna rape and hit me. Again and again.

"No. I don't agree.", i say, as my eyes start watering.

"Why not?"

"Just leave me alone", i say.

I leave the place and enter a store.
He just follows me. I am crying and i feel so weak. The pill's effect is done. I need more power.

I sit on a chair and the waitress comes to take my order.
Jason sits with me and orders two steaks with fries.

"Please go..i don't even have the power to talk to you.", i say crying.

"Something is really wrong with you. You can tell me."

"It doesn't worth it!", i shout, sobbing.

"What? Calm down..", he takes the glass of water and gives it to me.

He seems worried. Or at least i think he does. But no one has ever been worried about me.

"Life. I don't want to fight anymore. I just asked for help and no one helped me. You are not going to help me. No one does. I don't need this. I'll just go home and get raped again.", i say.

I stand up and run in the bathroom. I can't hold my tears back. I just can't.
