Red Light

So, we make tentative plans for Tuesday night. She's going out for a friend's birthday and suggests I stop by later. She'll call.

No call.

We also had plans for Friday night. Sooo, I wait until Friday morning. I figure I'll call around noon, she'll be at lunch, I'll leave a message, then the ball will be in her court. She answers. She's made plans with her friends for tonight. Said she was "studying" Tuesday night. She's free Saturday night. Ok. She'll call in the evening.

Tick tick tick ...10:30pm. She finally calls.

"Hey, we just got back." (We?)

"Ummm, ok."

"I don't know where we're going. I'll give you a call in half an hour and you can meet up with us."

Ooook.

11pm, no call. 11:30, no call.12, no call.

It's been 15 months. No call.

So, I forgot about her. Next.

Suddenly, 2 weeks ago, [I] tells me that (A) has been hanging out with [m] (got all that?). Last week (A) lets the information drop during an unrelated conversation. This is all no big deal.

Then I find out that (A) has been doing heroine for the past month with some "new" friends.

I know [m] is involved. All the red flags tell me she used to have a problem, in fact, she hinted at a sorted past during our date. So, this past week I started trying to track down the source of (A)'s drugs, started connecting the dots, and watching as his life started spinning out of control.
