“Oh right.” She said glancing back at Kim as Carla spoke about Jem before they reached the stairs. “She’s my Doberman, she’s really nice and friendly if you don’t give her a bad impression or upset me.” She said smiling as she thought about getting to see her dog again. She was sure Jem was going crazy without her, Liz was terrible at taking care of Jem when Carla went to visit Hale.
~~~ When they were moving into the apartment, Liz now helping keep Carla upright as the fever and withdrawal seemed to take over her. “I’m not like these people. No offense Liz.” She said before glancing at Liz. Liz gave a small smile.
“It’s fine goodie two shoes.” She said trying to make Carla feel better after she got her into this mess. Placing her down the couch beside Michael, shit hit the fan. Carla at first hadn’t realized that they all planed on giving her heroin but once she saw the needle being pulled out it all clicked. She knew that she had been drugged when she was kidnapped, why else would her memories of it be mixed up, fuzzy and blacked out altogether at some points. Carla had thought it would have been some type of sedate that doctors used, but clearly everyone else thought otherwise.
When Michael retorted to her calling him trash, she laughed bitterly as she struggled against Liz. “Your just piss I won’t be one of your drugged up booty calls. I don’t act like your God, because really even with all your money you’ll never make something of yourself, wasting your life in drugs and STD’s.” She said before she finally pushed Liz off her, the fight about Hale being brought up before Liz’s comment about Hale hitting Carla like a slap to the face. She sat there as the three held her down, Michael shooting her up despite her protests.
When the drugs started to flow into her system Kimberly tried to make her feel better about now being addicted to heroin. She felt a tear roll down her cheek before the drugs kicked in. The world went from being blurry, painful and dull to some sort of God sent place of wonders. She told them to let go and they started to back off before she heard Michael’s mutters and jumped away. Before she would have felt the world spin, hell even sober and clean she would have stumbled a little but her feet planted firmly as she created space between herself and him. She wasn’t minding were Ethan stood at the time before Liz started to speak. Before Liz could say anything back to Carla Kimberly pitched in making Carla glance back to Kimberly, Liz glaring at the woman. “You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. I may not be perfect, I may be a bad person but I would never hurt my family!” She yelled what she said sounding true.
“I didn’t dream it Liz, my memories may be a little fuzzy and mixed up after I was taken but I know you were walking with me.” Carla said firmly. It was then that it clicked that Jem wasn’t barking still, Carla may have been used to Jem’s barking but she n ever didn’t hear it. “Why isn’t Jem barking?” Carla said worry running through her body, as she pushed pass Liz to her room and opened the door. Her room had been ransacked and Jem was gone. Carla stood frozen with her eyes wide, her heart pushing into over drive against the slowing effect of the drug.
Liz had run after Carla her hand reaching out to stop Carla before she figured it out. “Carla wait!” She said only to freeze behind Carla her eyes wide as she knew Carla knew. Carla just stared quiet for a long time before the tears started to spill over her cheeks. Her hands curled into fists as a sob left her lips. She turned around and glared at Liz, hurt and anger taking over her body.
“You fucking bitch! Af-“
“Carla I can explain!”
“YOU DON’T FUCKING SELL PEOPLE, EVEN MORE SO YOU'RE FUCKING FAMILY.” Carla roared coming up to Liz as Liz backed up into their kitchen table, stuttering on something to say. Carla’s hand came up into Liz’s gut. “After all I’ve done for you! After all the shit you’ve put me through. It was all a fucking lie! You sold me!” She screamed before her hands started to shake.
“C-Car-Carla I. . . I was high, I knew Kim was going to send in her brothers soon. They would have killed me!” Liz said fear running through her body as she held her gut.
Carla was quiet for a long time as she sobbed softly. “I’m not sure what hurts worst, knowing what you did, or knowing I would have been raped
again.” she said in a whisper, those standing at least a foot away wouldn’t have heard them. Horror wrapped around Liz’s face.
“You-you were-“
“YES!” Carla screamed. “And when Hale found out he killed twenty-three people! One of them being the man who did it!” she said before she started to walk away not sure where she was going, she didn’t know what to do about herself. Just as she walked pass Michael, Kimberly and Ethan she turned to look back at Liz. “Where the fuck is my dog? I’ll be back for my stuff in ten minutes, anything you haven’t already sold for another trip or another round at the slots, I want back. If I see you
ever again, I’ll have you kidnapped and sold to the highest paying rapists and see how you feel. No wait, I’ll enjoy your suffering!” She screamed before starting to leave the apartment.
Liz could only stare with her mouth hanging open, her whole body frozen as she watched Carla start to leave.
