Broken Vinyl, A Sorrow Filled Melody
Faded Lines
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI looked back at Tavi, her eyes glued on me. I let out a heavy sigh and opened the nightstand drawer and pulled out the contents of my crime. I looked back at Tavi, her eyes focused on the bag I pulled out. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she had never seen anything like this before.
"Vi...what is this?"
"It's cocaine...it's..."
Tavi interrupted me before I could say anything else, "Y-You mean...y-you're...doing drugs?!"
I looked away from her, a tear flowing down my face. I couldn't say anything to her, all I could do was give her a slight nod.
"How long have you been doing this?"
I stayed silent.
"Vi, answer me."
"A few weeks now." A pain started growing in my chest. I could feel the storm coming on.
"Vinyl...h-how could you. After all this time. Wiat! Is that why all the money keeps disappearing from our bank account?!"
Tears began to roll down my cheeks. I sat on the floor and covered my face with my hooves. I was angry at myself for what I had done to her. Nothing I could do or say would make things any better. I was a liar, a cheat, and a thief.
"What else have you been hiding from me?" Her voice was cold and distant. She was beyond furious with me.
"The bag that I got right now..."
"Yeah?"
"I-I slept with Pinkie Pie to get it!"
"You did WHAT?!"
It was over now. Time for me to build the casket, because my grave was dug the minute I pulled the bag out. I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to kill me. She had every right to feel that way. After all I've done, I don't deserve to have a life.
I looked back up at her, tear stains deep in my cheeks, "Tavi...I'm..."
"Don't say another word to me. I can't believe you'd do this to me. Did you even once think about how this would effect us? Do you even know what that stuff can do to you? It can kill you, Vinyl! That stuff effects your body in way you wouldn't believe possible. Do you wanna kill yourself, Vinyl?"
I scraped my hoof on the floor.
"Answer me goddamn it!"
"No!"
"Then why even start it in the first place?"
"I don't know. When I first did it with Rarity...it made me feel really good."
"That's what it's made to do. But that feeling comes at the cost of your health and sanity. How many ponies are you getting this stuff from?"
"Just Pinkie."
"Of course. That bitch only thinks of the short term happiness she gets out of it. Did she look like she was on death's door?"
"Mhmm. But she said that it was one of Twilight's spells gone wrong."
"And you believed her? That's the effect of cocaine, it causes your body to break itself down. First you start itching really badly, which I'm guessing you've been going through it. Eventually you'll start getting sick to your stomach and not want to eat anything. After that your body begins to shut itself down. The last step in this...you die. Is that what you want?"
I shook my head. There's wasn't anything I could say. Everything had been said. There was nothing left to hidr. The pain in my chest was even worse now than it was before.
Tavi began to leave the room, only stopping as she got to the door, "Vi...I'm giving you this one chance to say any last thoughts."
I looked at her, guilt in my eyes, "Tavi...I-I need help."
