    He smiled and shook his head. How about a drink sweetie.

    'you want to stay in and have a soda or go out and get plastered. cause you know i can go either way. except that soda thing. i don't like the bubbles.'

    i smiled to lighten what i thought could very easily turn into a heavy mood.

    'for you baby, i'd pick the leaves myself.'

    He stood up and leand against the doorpost.

    The dumb fuck got arrested for dancing, in the nude I should add. But seriously I am worried about him.

    i tried to keep my composure but well....i had to laugh. arlo didn't think it funny.

    'i'm sorry baby, but dancing naked. that's funny.'

    i wrapped my arms around him and kissed his cheek. i brushed the hair from his brow, then let him go, but left my hand resting on his hip.

    'what did the police say?'
    hear my name
    take a good look

    Yes it would be funny to me as well, yet I lost my sense of humour when it comes to my brother. The police where not very amused. Apparently he was high on....on whatever. He is getting further and further away from anything constructive.
    I already lost a sister I don’t want to lose my brother as well.

    'you know what? i know you want to save him but you have to leave it up to him. anything you try and do for dex he's most likely gonna resent. especially, if he doesn't want to do what you want him to.'

    So I should just let him have his overdose? Because it is going that way.
    He didn't ask me for money to buy drugs directly, but he did ask me some to pay the rent, guess where his own went.
    I know I can't do much else than share my concern, but I am starting to get real scared.

    I know, but that's not the point of it all. It's very practical what you say, unfortunetly it doesn't help the feeling go away. Not that there is that much you can say that could.

    'so what is the point arlo. you'd rather when he did manage to kill himself he did it in the comfortable surrounds of his own apartment and not in some flea bitten motel or back alley some place?'

    so this is what it felt like to have someone walk away from you in the middle of a conversation. no wonder people got tired of me. it sucks being dismissed like this.

    'arlo. don't walk away from me.'

    i followed him into the living room.

    'i'm not gonna let this go.'

    Grabbed his jacket then turned around to face me, he didn't say anything he just gave me a look that made me feel as if what I just said wasn't the right thing. He left me standing as he slipped through the door, shit this didn't went as planned.

    fuck him then. i had enough trouble dealing with my own bullshit without having more heaped on top. i closed my eyes. taking a deep breath, i raised my hands above my head and spun slowly 360 degrees. i opened my eyes to find arlo standing right in my space. he said nothing. i looked at him waiting for him to start. this could take a while. i leant in and kissed him. this was the most despondent i had ever seen arlo. and so out of character.

    'i'm sorry anna. i just don't know what to do anymore. i want to help dex but i want him to want to be helped. i don't understand what he's doing to himself.'

    No! I don't think that I did that. I just don't like it when you run of like that.

    What are you talking about? I guess I knew damn well what he was referring to, but I felt more comfortable stalling. I didn't like how this conversation was going.

    with his hand resting against her jaw, arlo gently stroked anna's cheek with his thumb.

    'well no one could accuse you of being stupid could they anna. despite the dumb things you do at times.'

    I felt like smacking him, instead I didn't do anything but concentrate on his thumb as it caressed my skin.
