My Novakaine (Brandon Novak) -11- Stories & News

After my little outburst we sat together in the old living room. Brand had eaten something without puking it out a minute after. "So, how's living in this house?", I asked just to say something. Bran shrugged. "Okay, I guess. I wasn't home that much. Still, nice to have one." He chuckled. Again the silence came and I watched Bran out of the corner of my eye. He sat there, totally relaxed. "So…may I ask you a question?" Bran cocked an eyebrow.

"Of course, Baby Annie." "Why…why did you do the heroin again?" Bran sighed. Okay, obviously not the kind of question he had expected.

"You know…it was a pretty funny night. Was partying hard and went home with some girl…Michelle. No, Miranda. Ah, who cares, I went home with some slut and after three hours or so I had to leave, cause her boyfriend was coming home in the morning. I was still totally drunk and it was 4 in the morning, so no one was on the street. Er…well, I really can't remember, I met a friend of mine, who is a dealer, what I didn't no at that point. He gave me some pills for free, and I took 'em, of course I did. Huh…uh, yes, it was so quiet so I decided to make some noise, so I wouldn't feel all alone." He laughed at that point.

"Whatever, is started to sing some crazy stuff, jumping on cars and everything, then I swallowed the pills and from that point…I seriously can't remember. You know, must have been strong ones, those pills. I was on some stuff all the time before, but those…yeah well, you know the rest of the story." He stretched and looked out of the big window.

I couldn't believe it, he was talking about the almost suicide like it had been a picnic. "So…you're still on pills?" I asked afraid. "Sweetheart, I had the most horrible withdrawal, and no, right now I'm not on pills or any kind of drug." I rolled my eyes. "I mean, mental. Are you still addicted?"

Bran shrugged. "You know, everyone who ever was addicted to any kind of drug will always be. If you lock me into a room full of heroin, I'll start shooting up again, no question. But I guess I'm able to control myself in normal situations."

I hoped so. "Hey, Baby Annie, there's something I wanted to tell you, I…uhm…erm, I – " In that second the front door burst open and Bam and the crew practically flew into the house. "Time to wake up, Novak, there's stuff to do!", Bam yelled. Bran grunted and got off the sofa. "Man, I'm already awake, idiot!" "Uuh, did our sexy nurse Annie make you feel better, huh?", Ry asked and grinned.

"Yeah, cleaning out buckets full of puke and sitting next to some guy who hasn't showered for days must have been funny for her.", Bran snorted and pushed Ry back. Then he walked up the stairs.

"So, it was that bad?", Bam asked quietly, once Bran was out of earreach. I nodded my head yes. "Worst I've ever seen…not that I've seen much. Still, it was pretty scary. I don't want to see him like that ever again, so watch him now." Bam narrowed his brows. "You know, I'm no babysitter. Besides, I now have my own show!"

"You have WHAT?!", I squealed and felt like my eyes would fall out of my head. Bam grinned. "Talked to the MTVguys yesterday. 's called 'Viva la Bam', we'll do some stupid jokes and pranks and stuff, like reality-TV. We'll start filming next month. And you know what? You'll join the crew!"
