  • Once A Junky, Always A Junky

    November 11, 2009 — With 3,007 words & Read — Labelled as: Story
    It was a bad idea of Garfield Sobolewski to follow the white bunny running across one of the busiest intersection in the city.
    “Can’t believe he just ran into the intersection like that.”, Tiara says.
    Denita was standing next to her looking at the new patient, “Yeah, and what’s with the carrots around his neck?”
    “He was talking about capturing the white rabbit when they brought him in.”, Tiara explained.
    Denita unbuttoned the top button of her blouse,“A white rabbit running around in New York?”
    Tiara noticed and looked down at her own blouse which she had buttoned all the way to the top, “Clear as snow he says.” She says.
    “As white as coke probably, what a crazy junky.”, Denita says right before she walked away.
    There was someone behind her saying, “Not that he would remember it anyway.”
    “Why’s that?”, Tiara asked the female doctor behind her.
    But her question got put on hold, “Who are you?”
    “I’m Tiara I work over at pediatrics.”, Tiara replied.
    “Pediatrics? What are you doing all the way out here.”, The female doctor asked.
    Tiara was getting nervous and for some reason unbuttoned her top button, “We heard about this crazy junky on the radio and I had to come take a look.”
    The female doctor seemed to be getting more and more agitated, “Unless you can to see a guy sleeping. I’m sorry to disappoint you but he’s in a coma right now.”
    “Oh, that’s too bad. But that’s like free rehab for him, or at least rehab without the whole going nuts trying to score again.”, Tiara says.
    “Guess so, we can only find out if he wakes up.”, The female doctor says right before she walked away.

    Days passed by and Garfield still managed to get a lot of attention from the hospital staff.
    Tiara walked up to another nurse watching Garfield from the window, “Is he still in a coma?”
    The nurse quickly answered, “Nope.”
    Tiara was just as fast to reply, “Too ba.. What?”
    “He woke up this morning, but he’s just sleeping right now.”, The nurse told her.
    “What’s his name?”, Tiara asked.
    “Garfield.”, The nurse says and then scratched her head, “Garfield something.”
    “Like the cat! Wonder if his parents named him after the cat, it’s possible Garfield the comic is like 45 years old.”, Tiara replied.
    “That would make him 196 years old!”, The nurse says with her voice filled with some odd kind of joy Tiara couldn’t really decipher.
    Tiara looked at the nurse, “How could you possible know that?” She asked.
    “I like cats, and I just happen to know how to calculate human to cat years.”, The nurse explained.
    Tiara couldn’t keep her mouth shut,“Your crazy.”
    The nurse next to her was pissed off, “Well, so are you.”
    “What, why?”, Tiara asked.
    “I’m not the one thats been camping outside a patients room for days now.”, The nurse says and walked away from Tiara.
    A doctor exits Garfield’s room she asks him how he’s doing.
    “This guy? Fine for what happened to him.”, The doctor says.
    Tiara felt some kind of strange relieve, “Oh good.”
    “Although he can’t seem to remember anything.”, The doctor explained.
    “You mean like amnesia?”, She asked.
    “You got it.”, The doctor says right before he walked away, back to his business.
    She walked into Garfield’s room and walked up to his bed.
    Her legs felt heavy but were shaking a bit, “Hi there.”
    “Hi?”, He asked with a slight confused look on his face.
    “I’m Tiara.”, She says.
    He smiled and says, “I’m.. They told me my name was Garfield.”
    She looked at him for a while, and into his hazy blue eyes.
    “I’m so hungry.”, He says with his hands on his stomach to emphasize the feeling he was having.
    “Hungry? I only have this twinkie in my bag pack.”, She says while she was already searching through her back bag.
    He looked up at her, “What’s a twinkie?”
    “What’s a twinkie?!”, She repeated.
    “Why are you repeating me?”, He asked.
    “Sorry, it’s just that everyone knows what a twinkie is.”, She says with a surprised look on her face.
    “They told me I have something called amnesia.”, He says.
    She puts her hand on his shoulder, “Sorry about that.”
    “Why? Did you give me amnesia!”, He yelled while grabbing her arm.
    “No, calm down.”, She says and pulled back her arm.
    She unwrapped the twinkie bar and hanged it to him, “Here, taste it.”
    He gladly accepted because he was really hungry, “This.. This.. Tastes so good.” He says while he was putting the entire thing into his mouth.
    After he was done he asked for another.
    “Another? It was the only one I had on me, sorry.”, She says.
    Suddenly Garfield remembered some bits from his former life, how he cheated on people, robbed old ladies, stole from supermarkets just about anything to get money to buy some drugs.
    “I have to go now, I have to get back to work.”, She says as she begins to walk to the doorpost.
    “Wait!”, He yells.
    And as soon as she heard him say that she quickly turned around, “Yes?”
    A strange and shot conversation followed, going back and forth between the two.
    “I..”
    “You?”
    “I think..”
    “Think what?”
    “I think I like you.”
    “Like me?”
    “No, it’s more, like love.”
    “Love?!”
    “Yes, I think I’m in love with you.”
    “I.. I can’t believe it.”
    Nobody had ever says that to her before.
    “Your dark blond hair, your grayish eyes, your thick eyebrows I love it all!”, He says.
    Nobody had ever talked about her like that before.
    “I will see you later then, okay?”
    “I’ll be here, I have nowhere else to go.”, He says.
    She walks out of the room.
    “What was that about?”, Denita asked because she was watching it all from behind the window, but not actually hearing what was being says.
    “Nothing.”, Tiara replied.
    “Yeah, right. Are you flirting with amnesiatic junky?”, Denita asked.
    Tiara felt a headache coming up, which happened a lot when she was talking with Denita, “Amnesiatic? That’s not even a word.”
    “You know what I meant!”, Denita yells.
    Tiara ignores Denita and goes back to work.

    The next day during her lunch break she returned to Garfield’s room.
    “Good afternoon.”, Tiara says.
    “Hi Tiara. Your name is like the kind of crown right?”, Garfield asks.
    “It sure is.”
    She sits down next to him on the bed.
    “Listen, I got you another twinkie but I heard one of the doctors complaining something was up with your diet, so be careful they don’t find out okay? I could get fired.”
    “I would never let that happen! Don’t worry about it sweetie, it’s our little secret.”
    “Oh Garfield!”
    He looks at her with a strange look on his face, “That sounds weird.”
    “Sorry, it’s the thought of the cat.”
    “What cat?”
    “There is a comic book with a cat, both the comic book and the cat are called Garfield.”
    “Wow, you think they named it after me? Am I an important person? That must be why I’m the only one in this room.”
    The truth was that they were afraid he might steal medicine from other patients so they kept him in a separate room.
    “I don’t think they named it after you, and I know as much about you as you do.”
    “Wow, what if I don’t remember anything, this would be like a new life.”
    “It would, incredible right.”
    “I wouldn’t mind spending my new life with a woman like you Tiara.”
    “Oh Garfield.”
    “What now?”
    She kisses him on his lips, he opens his eyes during the kiss to see if she’s fully committed to him by now.
    “Hey babe, I was wondering if you could maybe get me some more twinkies, besides you their the only things that keep me going right now.”
    “Are they that important to you?”
    “Yes, maybe you could buy me a box or two, or better how about five?”
    “Five whole boxes of twinkies?”
    “Yes, like those boxes that the supermarket gets from the factories. I mean unless you don’t care enough about me.”
    “I do, I do.”
    She gets up off the bed and grabs her back pack and goes to the door.
    “Five?”
    “Maybe six.”
    “Ok, I’ll get you them.”
    “Love you baby.”
    “I love you too Garfield.”
    “That sounded weird.”
    But she didn’t hear him say that, she asks her supervisor if she could leave for home early today and it was alright.
    She rushed across town to the bank and took out all the money she had on her savings account.
    After that she went by all nearby supermarkets and bought a total of six full boxes of twinkies.
    She hauled them back to the hospital, he saw her going into the supply room across his room with six big boxes, she came out and gave him a thumbs up.
    He waves to her and she goes into his room.
    “Hey, I got them. Enough to last you the rest of your recovery.”
    “Good job honey.”
    She moves her head to his and they have a quick kiss, she wants to move back but he hugs her tightly, she surrenders to the hug and holds him tightly.
    His hand slips down her side and into the pocket of her jacket and steals her copy of the supply room.
    “I should leave because it’s not visiting hours now. I got some things to do at home.”
    Tiara bumps into a colleague.
    “Hey, I thought you took a day off.”
    “Sorry, I just forgot something from my locker.”
    “Oh okay, well see you tomorrow morning.”
    “Ok, bye.”*One nurse says to another.
    She goes back home to work on a new scrapbook special made for her upcoming magical moments with Garfield.
    Garfield got out of his bed in the middle of the night, held the key he nicked from Tiara in his hand and sneaked his way across the hall, unlocked the supply room door and went inside.
    It took him a while to find the light switch, when it was on he snuffled around and found his boxes hidden in the back of the small room.
    Covered in bed sheets he found his haven of twinkies, his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
    He unwrapped his first twinkie and took a bit and moaned out of pleasure.
    After the first box was done he continued on to the second, the third, forth, fifth until he passed out on the floor having almost eaten all the twinkies in the sixth box.

    Two nurses found the door of the supply room unlocked, but that didn’t really raise any questions, they were looking for some bandages.
    “He was so cute, I think he really liked me.”
    “I think he liked your breasts more that the rest of you, he looked like a giant baby begging for your milk.”
    The conversation quickly ended when they saw a chubby in twinkie wrappers covered guy lying lifelessly on the floor.
    “Oh my god.”, One of the nurses said.
    “Get a doctor!
    Make that two doctors!
    Or three!”
    , the other yelled.
    The doctors managed to ‘save’ Garfield’s life.

    “Now he looks more like the comic book Garfield, well I mean just as fat.”
    “Don’t talk about him like that.”
    “I’m sorry I forgot you two were doing it.”
    “We’re not.”
    “Then I don’t see why he’s with someone like you.”
    “What’s that suppose to mean? And I never see you with a guy around your arm for longer than a one night stand.”
    “Oh very nice of you to say. You got saggy tits, you look twenty years older than you really are. A fat twinkie junky is the best you’re ever going to get!”, she says while walking away.
    “Bitch.”
    “Excuse me?”, the doctor asked.
    “Sorry doctor I wasn’t talking to you.”
    “So you and him were getting to know each other?”
    “Yes, he really likes me. I think we are really hitting it off.”
    “Too bad he had yet another amnesia.”
    “Another one?!”
    “Yes, he nearly ate himself to dead, his heart stopped for a while and his brain didn’t get enough oxygen so parts of his brain got damaged.”
    “Oh my God. What now?”
    “We wait. Until he wakes up from yet another coma.”
    “Oh and we have no idea how he got ahold of those twinkies, do you know anything about that?”
    “Twinkies?!”
    “Guess not, well if you do let me know.”
    “I will.”
    Tiara waited two more weeks for him to wake up from his coma, in these two weeks his body had turned all the twinkies he had consumed into even more fat.
    She was stitching up a kid that fell down a tree when one of her colleagues came up to her.
    “Did you hear yet?”
    “Hear what?”
    “The fat cat has awoken!”, and she laughed.
    “What!!”, she yelled and pulled the stitch far to tightly, the kid screamed out of agony.
    “Oh I’m so sorry Robin!”
    Tiara rushed the entire morning until it was time for her lunch break, she ran to his room.
    He was awake and watching TV.
    “Garfield, baby.”
    “And you are?”
    “I’m your lover, Tiara.”, She says while holding onto her scrapbook.
    “Tiara, what a silly name. Like the crown?”
    “Oh and Garfield is a nice name?!”
    “I was named after James Garfield, the 20th president of the United States.”
    She sighs.
    “What happened to you?”
    “You mean this?”, he asked while holding up a roll of fat.
    “Yes?! You used to be so handsome!”
    “You think I’m hideous, don’t you!?”
    “No! You just changed a lot, I have to get used to it.”
    “They got me on a diet so don’t worry.”
    “A diet of what?”
    “I have no idea but it tastes disgusting.”
    “That’s terrible.”
    “Tell me about it.”
    “Those damn twinkies, it’s all my fault.”
    “Yes, who gives a junky twinkies!?”
    “I’m so sorry. How can I make this up to you?”
    “Yes, you should. How about helping me lose this horrible weight.”
    “Ok, but how?”
    “I need some weight losing pills, you know from those commercials.”
    “Okay, I’ll do my best.”
    “Your best? Is that what you tried last time?”
    She walked away with tears running down her cheeks, and Garfield had a deja vu.
    “Wait!”
    “What?”
    “I’m sorry sweetie, it’s just so hard being like this. I wish things would go back to normal.”
    “It’s okay, we can do this. Together.”
    “Together!”
    That night Tiara stayed up late and watched commercials for losing weight, she ordered every kind of pill or drink that passed by on the TV.
    Her credit card debts had outgrown the metaphorical stretch pants, but she would do anything for her lover.
    The following day she visited him a couple of times, sneaking in pills and drinks.
    She did this for a whole week, but they didn’t seem to work.
    “You sure these are for losing weight? Not for losing patience, or love for another person?!”
    “I’m sorry, these really are from those commercials.”
    “Jesus, can’t you do anything right?”
    “I says I was sorry.”
    “Sorry, I didn’t mean to get upset.”
    “It’s just that I don’t see why you are still with me, look at me! I’m fat and ugly. And you.. You’re beautiful, I don’t deserve a woman like you.”
    “Oh Garfield!”
    “Why does that sound weird?”
    “Uhm, just get some rest.”
    And he did, he was to tired of scheming what came next.
    “Good afternoon!”
    “Hey hotpants, theres something I wanted to ask of you.”
    “Anything for my man.”
    “Perfect, one of the nurses told me about this guy that sells special dieting power you mix in your drink.”
    “Oh that’s great!”
    “I was wondering if you could get me some, I asked her to write down the address.”
    “Are you sure this will work?”
    “Hell yeah!”
    “Ok then.”
    “I love you Tiara.”
    “I love you too Garfield.”
    The hugged and kissed and there was boob fondling going on.
    “That’s just wrong!”
    “And extremely gross.”
    “That guy has bigger boobs than her, no wonder she is playing with those instead.”
    “I’m getting back to work.”
    The nurses went back to their work.
    “My lunch break is over.”
    “Okay, sweety.”
    “Bye teddybear.”
    She had one last look before she left the room.
    He blew her a kiss, and she caught it and placed it inside the front pocket of her vest, saving it for later.
    After work she quickly went home and grabbed her jewelry box, the owner of the pawn shop gave her a hundred bucks for the wedding ring her mother passed on to her right before she died, it had been in the family for over a century.
    “Take it or leave it baggy pants.”
    “Fine.”
    She accepted the money making her wallet contain a total of $500 and went to the address Garfield gave her.
    It was already turning dark outside and it was in the rougher parts of town, lucky for her she was most likely the ugliest woman and she walked freely.
    “Are you Charlie?”
    “Who’s asking?”
    “Uhm, Garfield send me here.”
    “Garfield, that guy is MAD!”
    “He, is..”
    “I’ll get you his usual.”
    “Usual? I got send here for dieting supplements.”
    “Oh this will help him lose weight in no time.”, He laughed so hard the light from the streetlights reflecting of his golden teeth blinded her.
    “Hey, take the damn white rabbit.”
    “White rabbit?” She asked while her eyes adjusted to the darkness again.
    “Blow, yayo, jelly beans, wash..”
    “Right, heres your money.”, She quickly ran back to her car and locked the doors and drove off.

    “What on earth happened?”
    “He is so skinny.”
    “In just one day?”
    “We should just release him.”
    “Let him back into the wild?”
    “He’s been her for the past 6 months. Enough is enough.”
    And so Garfield went back into the wild without saying goodbye to Tiara.
    “I can’t believe he just up, and left me. After all I have done for him. I’m getting evicted at the end of the month.”
    “I can. Your stupid.”
    “Bitch.”
    For a moment Tiara pretended she was chasing a white rabbit across a busy intersection. She got hit by a truck and ended up in the hospital, a cute male nurse walked up to her bed.
    “Hey sweety.”
    “Nurse Strowe?”
    “You can call me Tiara hunk, what about scoring me some yayo.”
    “Nurse Strowe?”
    “Score me some fucking coke now!!”
    She yelled so hard all the blood in her body went up to her head, she fainted and woke up in a hospital bed.
    A cute male nurse walked up to her.
    “Miss Strowe? Are you alright.”
    “I’m an idiot.”
    “Yes she is.”, Denita yelled into the room.
    She stepped out of the bed, and she noticed that she was wearing a hospital gown.
    She undid the knot on her back and let the gown slide off her, the male nurse wasn’t sure what was going on.
    But he saw the most beautiful breasts he had ever seen.
    “Wow.”
    “You’re cute.” And grabbed his balls.
    “Thank you Miss Strowe.”
    She walked over to Denita, who was also mesmerized by how good Tiara looked naked.
    “And you! You are such a bitch. All you ever do is portrait yourself upon me, you’re the one with saggy tits, and you look twenty years older than you actually are. You’re the one that wont get anything better than a fat junky!”
    Tiara was sick and tired of being treated like shit.
    When she finally got kicked out of her house she joined charity that builds houses in Africa.
    Where she met Tom, a nice friendly man with leporiphobia.
