To Write Love on Her Arms Page #2

and listening to an ex-drug addict

who happens to be my manager.

He's your boss.

My boss slash future manager

is in there talking about

how he used to be a crack whore,

and I would say this is really good timing.

He was a crack whore.

You're calling me a crack whore then?

No, you're not a crack... It's the first...

It's the only drug slang thing I know.

I don't...

What else would I call you?

I mean, I'm not calling you that.

Just, whatever you do,

if you don't wanna go in there,

stay here, I'll be back in 10 minutes.

- Okay?

- Fine.

Excuse me.

Can I have a cigarette, please?

If you have an extra one?

Thank you.

Rough night?

- Rough life.

- Cheers.

So are you addicted to Jesus?

Doing a favor for a friend. You?

Here for the communion wine.

I think it's probably watered down.

I'll see you in there?

- Nope.

- Okay.

Here you go. Not a scratch on it.

You rescue your princess?

Yeah. This is her, I mean, this is Renee.

Pleasure to meet you, I'm McKenna.

Princess Renee.

So, you're Dylan's manager?

Manager? You a rock star now?

Well, if you'll excuse me, rock star.

That's the crack whore?

Don't call him... Between us, all right?

All right, are you gonna come in?

The very first line of

cocaine that I ever took,

the first bump, if you like,

man, I was in love, okay?

It was the love of my life.

Any doubt, any insecurity that I had, gone.

It was bigger than my job,

bigger than my family,

my friends, you know, bigger than me,

and I was a god, remember?

I think rock bottom for me

was a three-day cocaine binge.

I was a mess. I was, you know, bloody nose

and I wasn't sleeping obviously

and I'd run out, I couldn't get anymore.

So I was scrabbling around on the floor

looking for crumbs in the carpet.

And I drank a bottle of vodka

and my heart stopped and I flatlined.

I actually ended up withdrawing on my own

at my parents' house,

I was

lying on my... My parent's couch

and my father just sitting there

holding my hand and...

He had his other hand on my head

the way that...

I don't have any conclusions for you guys.

I'm very much a work in progress myself.

But if you take anything from today,

let it be that addiction is real.

It's bigger than you are.

Sh*t, sh*t!

I know a place.

- You want me to make a...

- Yes, yes.

You know, down there

there's a trampoline, somewhere.

Renee Yohe?

So I'll take it. When can I move in?

So do you have drugs in your system?

Yeah. Don't most people who come here?

So what drugs have you taken

in the last 72 hours?

Some uppers, mostly just coke.

That it?

Alcohol.

Ecstasy, but not that much.

What about legal drugs, prescriptions?

You know, for conditions.
