"What's the difference, she mumbled. As she moved her front foot forward it caught on the end of the night stand and brought a huge vase crashing to the ground. Spilling dozens of cut flowers some whithered some fresh against a moving background of scattered pottery glass.
Jasmine looked up from underneath the hand quilted comforter.
"I'm just a little high is all" she slurred. I didn't mean it and you know that I love you." The needle marks were well hidden and the sores that never healed where concealed beneath her stockings. The center of her foot ached and so did the base of her spine. Both sites for her injections of Herion!
Jasmine continued to look through the fabric of the comforter. In between the stiching she could make out the figure stumbling across the floor. Finally she could make out a pair of hands going through her dresser draw. Searching. She stopped moving.
"I need a few bucks, I'm good for it aren't I? I mean we are family. I wanted to talk to you, but I got a little bit drunk this morning and you know that I take Herion."
Don't be so judgemental and I'll find a way to give back everything that I've taken from you."
Jasmine I never told you how you got here. I never explained anything about the family to you. I alway's thought that you were slow, retarded actually. Maybe your a late bloomer I thought but when you didn't show any signs of intelligence like the rest of the family, I just kinda gave up.
There are so many things that we have to talk about. You can't spend your whole life in bed!
We should go places together Jazz, just you and me and the rest of the family. It's nice to belong to a family isn't it? You do want to be in the family don't you?
The woman's voice deepened and for once took on an ominous tone.
Lately Jasmine could not tell when she would enter her room or when she would leave. Sometimes things would be missing and she was always asking for cash.
The nice thing about being wealthy Jazz baby is not having to worry about where it comes from. You'd want to get ahold of my wallet wouldn't you? I know everything about you this way. I can keep an eye on you. How come you haven't sent me any E-mails?
