Slate (Breaking The Declan Brothers #2) - Plot & Excerpts
Shit. I must’ve fallen asleep. It’s dark, and the only light in the room flickers from the TV. I turn to check on Slate. He’s sitting up on the sofa. Head bent, he’s frantically rubbing his hand and arm. He looks up at me. “I can’t get it off,” he says, before lowering his head and scrubbing harder on his scarred flesh. “I gotta get it off.” Not sure what to do or say, I get up, walk over, and slide beside him on the sofa. He lifts his sleeve. “Fuck!” He thrusts his arm out to me. “Look, it’s getting worse.” Confused, I glance down at his scars then to his huge dilated pupils. He leans back on the sofa and pulls up his hoodie. “Shit.” His eyes flash from his stomach to me. He jumps up, yanks his hoodie and t-shirt off, and starts to inspect his scars as if seeing them for the first time. “It’s all over me.” He shoots me a look of confusion. “Help me get it off.” Oh my God! I stare up at him. He’s hallucinating, and considering that people don’t usually hallucinate with opiate withdrawals, that can only mean one thing.
