Chapter 11: The Blackout
Over the next few weeks the tour progressed and Reanna’s addiction grew.
She
never went anywhere with the guys and always insisted that she had terrible
headaches in
the morning, so the guys wouldn’t think anything more of it. She started her
tutoring with
Nick’s old tutor, Lacy. Lacy started to notice that when Reanna had morning
classes, she
could never remember anything that they had studied the day before and she
could never
finish what she was saying. Lacy became concerned and decided to tell Kevin.
“Kevin, I
need to talk to you about Reanna.”
Kevin sat down on the couch and replied
“ What’s on
your mind?”
“Well, I’ve noticed how Reanna has not been able to concentrate
on her
work and she kind of stumbles around, she can’t finish anything she says,
I’m really
worried about her.” Kevin felt concerned about this matter but was stumped
on what to
do about it.
“What do you think I should do about her?” He asked worriedly.
Lacy
shrugged her shoulders, and replied, “I would suggest watching her and see
what she
does, take her to rehearsal and your shows.”
Kevin nodded and said, “Okay,
I’ll try that.”
Meanwhile in the living room Reanna was sitting anxiously on the couch
watching Nick and Brian try to teach Dana the tactics of Mario Kart, which
they were not
succeeding at. A.J. and Howie were laughing at the sight of Nick trying so
hard to be
patient with Dana. This all made Reanna more anxious than she already was.
‘Why the
hell are they still here? They should be gone by now.’ Reanna could feel her
hands start
to shake, she needed a drink desperately. ‘Just a few more minutes and then
they’re
gone.’ She wiped the hair out of her eyes and watched quietly.
Kevin watched from the doorway, his stomach was doing flip flops, this is
the
first time he would have to enforce rules on Reanna, and he didn’t know how
it would
go. He walked in and sat down by Reanna. He looked over and smiled at her
and then
said casually, “Reanna I want you to come to to rehearsal, and then I want
you to come
to the concert tonight with us.”
Reanna thought to herself , ‘He must be
joking, I don’t
want to go with him, I’m content just staying here.’ She answered Kevin’s
request by
simply saying, “No thanks I’ll just stay here.” Kevin inwardly sighed,
Reanna’s response
wasn’t exactly what he wanted to hear.
“Well I think you should come.”
Reanna shot
back, “Well I think I should not come.”
Kevin grew annoyed at Reanna’s sassy
tone of
voice. He planly said, “Your coming.”
Reanna defiantly said, “ No I’m not,
and you can’t
make me.”
This pissed Kevin off, he had just asked Reanna to do a simple
task, which
was one of the first things he had ever asked her to do, and she totally
blew him off and
was rude to him. That was one of Kevin’s pet peeves, he hated it when people
were rude
and cocky around him. Kevin looked at Reanna and smiled as he said quite
harshly,
“You’ll come even if I have to carry you, I know you don’t like the idea of
me being in
charge, but guess what? I am, get used to it.” Reanna glared at Kevin and
stormed out of
the room. A.J. muttered to himself, “If looks could kill....” Kevin looked
over at A.J, and
said, “Oh, she’ll get over it, I’m just trying to get her out of the bus,
besides it’s not good
for her to stay in here all by herself all day long. It’s not healthy.”
Meanwhile Reanna was in the kitchen, her eyes blurred with angry tears.
‘Who
does Kevin think he is? Fine if I can’t have my drink later, I’ll have it
now.’ Reanna
pulled out a large cup and filled it to the brim with Jack Daniels. She
downed the entire
glass, and then filled another, and did the same. She put the cup down and
felt like her
insides were on fire. Her breath became short and her head was spinning, she
had never
drank that much so quickly. She became scared, she ran back into the living
area. She
tried to call out Kevin’s name but nothing would come out of her mouth.
Everything in
the room was spinning, all the voices were meshed into one. Reanna was
falling into a pit
of darkness, the voices were fading away until she heard nothing.
