Sitting Naked by the Phone

CW: Drugs

How about you come over and help me clean my bed sheets because there’s puke all over them, and I can’t face it by myself; I haven’t even opened my bedroom door yet. It might have been the cheap cigarettes or fake Xanax that done it, I don’t know what it was this time. I haven’t cleaned my apartment in about maybe a month or so, and porn is starting to get boring. Honestly, it was probably bad food.  

You should still come over though.

I could use the company.
