I looked down into the dirt and slime before walking in the alleyway; nose turning up in disgust as I stepped into a puddle of god knows what. Jumping as a voice behind me asked

"You Billy Martin?" the voice was gruff and raspy and sounded almost as dirty as the alley itself.

"Who wants to know?" is all I could think to ask casually, hiding my real nerves. I didn’t want this guy to know it, but this is my first time. First time doing what you ask? Well I’ll tell you, buying drugs. I am not a druggy not nearly that, it’s just me and Benji were lying around the bus talking, watching some random DVD, and he asked if I had ever done drugs. I said "No" and reminded him of my straight edge status. He just looked at me and said "Never?", then proceeded to ask if I had ever wanted to. I said yes, I mean who doesn’t? He just told me that if I went out and got his stash for him, I could. I mean I thought it over, I have been sXe for a while now and what’s one hit going to do, I am not an addict and I can just go back to my sXe standing after. Well as you can see curiosity won in the end, and here I am buying Benji’s heroin stash from some guy who I only know is named
Mike.

"Me…" is all he said and I turned around to face a tall guy. He had a bit of facial hair and deep brown eyes, his hair was dyed bright red, and his ears were pierced. He was wearing a hoodie and black pants. He looked familiar like I might have seen him at some gig we have played, and I think we might have played with him and his band some time.

"You the guy picking up for Benji?" he asked giving me a once over with his eyes.

My hands dove into my hoodie fingering the three 100 dollar bills Benji had given me… "Yeah" I whispered I was avoiding eye contact with him as if it might shatter my cool exterior.

"What’s the word?" he asked, still not breaking his calm

Benji had explained this part to me, I was to meet the guy in the alley next to the club, he would ask me a word and I would answer. It was his way of making sure I was the right guy. I can’t imagine what Benji would do if someone else got his stash. He had called Mike and told him he was sending someone else to pick up for him and they made this all up. Still looking at the floor I whispered, "Strawberry"

"What did you say pretty boy?" he spat out, I could tell he had no respect for me. He probably thought I was just one of Benji’s sluts. "I didn’t hear, too distracted by the lip gloss."

"I said "strawberry" for god sakes lets get this over with…" I said quickly

"It’s someone’s first time…" he said with a smirk.

"Just give me the drugs!"

"Just give me the money."

"Here." I said, slipping the bills out, he reached into his hoodie pulling out a small bag filled with white powder. My hands were shaking as I reached for the bag, when I finally got it I pulled away quickly staring down at it in my hand.

"She’s pure, be careful." he said, a bit of concern in his voice

"She?" I asked, why on earth would he call this mind altering powder a she…

"Lady Heroin" he replied matter-a-factly. "She’s an instant love, one shot and your troubles float right away and you can’t leave her, never can. You go away for a while and when you come back she’s twice as good and again you’re walking on air with her help. She’ll put the bandage on your bleeding heart." This was the first time his voice got soft and showed emotion as he showed his love for the lady as she was called.

"What if you don’t want to get hurt?" I asked. "What if you’re not looking for love, just a one night stand?"

"She wont have it, she’s looking for love and that’s what counts." he speaks like this was a person, like she was a beautiful lady out to steal your heart. "Just fill her up and stick her in. It’s like losing your virginity you can’t get it back once it’s gone and it only gets better as you go."

"Until you get bored." I must say I found this man rather interesting he was in love with this lady, and she was his life, but she still didn’t seem like the right "girl" for me.

"Then you take a break and she’s that much better, you come stumbling back needing her pick me up, needing her love. Don’t worry you’ll learn to love her."

I don’t want to be an addict I want one hit, one hit just to see what it’s like. I want a one-night stand; I don’t need love right now! But of course that’s not what I said to him all I said to him was… "I am not so sure about that"

"Just melt her down and let her in. Try her when she’s still warm, if you inject when she is still warm it will warm up your whole body and heart no matter how cold it has gotten."

"I got to get out of here, Benji’s gonna want this" I said, playing with the bag in hand…

"Put her away, she doesn’t like the night air." He said before, "Good luck, hope she’s what you’re looking for." finally showing some kindness or sanity not sure which..."Tell Benji same time and place next week."

"Bye." is all I said before turning my back on him and starting to walk out.

I heard the voice behind me call out, "Shinoda."

I turned around, confused by his last statement "What?"

"You asked who I was before, my answer is Shinoda, Mike Shinoda." he said with a smile "Remember if you ever fall for her…"

"I know where to find you…" I replied “I know where to find her.” And with that the lady and I walked home to Benji, ready for love…
