A tear rolled down my cheek. Mark's hand quickly wiped it away. 'What's wrong? Are you mad at me? Cos if you are, I'll be gone in a second and you'll..'

Bry seemed really concerned when he looked at Mark. I pushed myself to talk although I knew it would hurt as if talking could kill me but I didn't care. I wanted to let Mark know.

'No Mark. It's not because of you and I'm not angry with you. It's me alright? It's not you.' I whispered softly, half hoping that he'd hear me but half hoping that he wouldn't. I didn't even know if I was ready to tell this to anyone at all, let alone someone that I've only known for couple of hours.

I closed my eyes for a few seconds, as if it would give me more strength. When I opened my eyes, like a cue Bryan flew straight out of the door. Leaving Mark and I alone. 'Mark, please listen to me. I've got something very important to tell you. I know I don't know you very well but somehow I know I can trust you.'

I took a long and heavy sigh. It was the moment for me to finally confess to someone who seem like he cared about me. Mark just sat there, looking straight to me as if he was searching for something inside me. He looked strong yet calm.

'This will be the very first time that I admit to anyone in this whole world that I do have a problem. Mark, I'm...' I paused for a while. 'I'm...' I paused again. I knew that it would easily drive anyone crazy but to my amazement, Mark just sat there, waiting patiently. This was too good to be true.

'Mark, I'm a drug addict.' I whispered it really soft, wishing he didn't hear it so I could say forget it to him. I didn't dare to look into his eyes. I was half wishing that I'd rather die than having to look into his eyes.

To my surprise, Mark took my hand again and kissed it. I closed my eyes, trying to get my brain to record the feeling inside me so just in case he was going to leave me alone again, like I guess anyone would, I could play it back again and again. I know I'm a nutcase. Instead my brain sent a signal to my eye to send a tear down again. I was drowned completely in my own feelings.

'Em? Do you want to get better?' Mark's words felt like heaven's words to me. I didn't know what was going on inside me. It felt so strange. I've never felt this before and I couldn't even guess what it was. 'Em?'
