[ We've heard it a million times in school. Just say no to drugs! Am I right? Apparently on that day where they had the "Just Say No" program visting Mike Young's school he was absent. It really breaks my heart to watch someon just kill themselves slowly. Someone with such potenital be in so much pain. That is exactly the situation Mike Young is in right now. Trying to fight through his demons and unsuccessfully so. Today is one of the worst days yet. It starts off with me picking up Patience from school after looking for Mike all day. I just had a very bad feeling about him not being there in the morning when I woke up. My feeling was right on the money. As soon as Patience and I came home there he was. He looked like such a mess and in definate need of a shower. I looked at him then at his daughter who even at the tender age of six could tell something wasn't right. I bent down and softly said to her.]
Skylar Black: "Do me a favor sweetie. Go up stairs and take out all of your barbie stuff. I'll be up to play in a little bit."
[ Innocently smiling at me she giggled.]
Patience Young: "Ok....I'll set up the dream house."
Skylar Black: "Sounds like a plan...."
[ With that said she raced up the stairs to get out her toys. I dropped my purse on the sofa and stood next to Mike who leaned his head to the side and began running his hand up my leg.]
Mike Young: "You know Skylar...Your legs are so smooth..they feel like silk. You have to wax them there is no way they could feel this smooth if you shaved them."
[ stopping his hand before it went any further up my leg I pushed it away.]
Skylar Black: "Mike...if I shave or wax is not the issue."
Mike Young: "But I've never felt legs like that so smooth."
[ In a soft voice he whispered.]
Mike Young: "Sam shaved her legs...and when we would have sex they felt like sand paper. You would think with all that money that she has that she would spend the money to have someone wax them."
[ Trying to again run his hand up my legs I backed away.]
Skylar Black: "What is wrong with you?"
Mike Young: "With me? Nothing I feel great!"
Skylar Black: "You don't look great..."
Mike Young: " I feel just capital. Oh by the way....I have a secret to tell you Skylar."
Skylar Black: "Does it have to do with where you were last night?"
[ Laughing he tossed his head from side to side and turning red from laughing so hard.]
Mike Young: "No...but you are funny."
Skylar Black: "Mike, I haven't said anything funny...."
Mike Young: "You don't realize how funny you are...but what was I saying?"
[ Getting a bit aggrivated I raised my eyebrow.]
Skylar Black:" You said that you wanted to tell me a secret."
[ Slapping his hand on the side of the sofa he shot straight up.]
Mike Young: "Oh yeah!...."
Skylar Black: "So what is it?"
Mike Young: "No way! I'm not telling you from so far away....You have to come closer."
[ After deciding if I really cared to know his secret I slowly moved close. I could see how messed up his pupils were. Maybe he'll help me out a bit and tell me what he took so I knew exactly what to tell poison control. As I got close he put his arms around me and pulled me down on the sofa and closer to him. He looked as best he could into my eyes and slobbered what he thought was a kiss on my cheek.]
Skylar Black: "Mike..I can smell liquor on your breath.."
Mike Young: "Not the kind you like to taste?"
Skylar Black: "I don't drink..not unless it's a wedding toast or special occassion. I don't beleive in excess."
Mike Young: "Well next time I kiss you my breath will smell like wedding wine...better?"
[ I slide back into the corner of the couch to get away from him and wiped my cheek.]
Skylar Black: "So what exactly is this secret of yours?"
Mike Young: "Ssssshhhhhhh....Rick will hear you!"
Skylar Black: "NO he won't. He's at the hospital with Brandi. Remember Jimmy Stryker pushed her down the steps?"
Mike Young: "Right....Fuck, I hope the baby is ok. I mean Rick lost one kid because of Tiffany already."
Skylar Black: "From what I hear both Brandi and the baby are just fine."
Mike Young: "Excellent...The spirits are working today!"
Skylar Black: "Spirits?"
Mike Young: "Yeah....You know...you're religous and shit."
[ Wow he was so gone. I wasn't even sure how to handle him.]
Skylar Black: "Alright..are you going to tell me this supposed secret?"
[ snapping his fingers he confirmed.]
Mike Young: "Right! the secret."
Skylar Black: "Which is?"
Mike Young: "I think your very pretty...."
[ he bluttered out then looked away.]
Skylar Black: "Well that's really ummm sweet of you Mike. Is that your secret?"
[ bashfully looking at me he nodded.]
Mike Young: "Yes...and me?"
Skylar Black: "What about you?"
Mike Young: "Wait...wait..."
[ He inched towards the edge of the sofa and took an envelope and pen from the table and wrote. He then sat back and handed me the pen and envelope.]
Skylar Black: "What's this?"
Mike Young: "Don't worry, I won't look until you hand it back to me."
[ Mike covered his eyes as I looked down at the envelope that read "Do you like me? circle yes or no". I didn't exactly know what to do. I haven't been asked to do this since the fifth grade. He uncovered his eyes just as I circled. ]
Mike Young: "Let me see!"
[ I pulled the envelope from him and set it back towards my shoulder.]
Skylar Black: "First...tell me what you took."
Mike Young: "Guess...."
Skylar Black: "I'm not in the mood to guess Mike. Please tell me."
[ moving closer then putting his body on me he said.]
Mike Young: "I want to make love to you Skylar."
[ I felt very uncomfortable and backed him away but firmly said again.]
Skylar Black:"Tell me what you took."
Mike Young: "Fine...I took some X....why you want some?"
Skylar Black: "No! But I do want you to tell me where it is."
Mike YOung: "Why incase you change your mind for later?"
[ He winked]
Skylar Black: "Right exactly..."
[ He whispered to me exactly where he put it. Hopefully it wasn't a lie...since I planned to flush it on him as soon I got a chance. I stood up and Mike layed down on the sofa. hearing the door bell...I walked to the door to see Jenny Tull standing there.]
Jenny Tull: "hey skylar.."
Skylar Black: "Jenny this isn't a good time.."
Jenny Tull: "Oh?"
Skylar Black: "Yeah..Mike is out of it, and he really needs me right now."
Jenny Tull: "So I can't get your comments on the match with Cyprus and Auroa?"
Skylar Black: "Look all I say is this...Auroa seems talented and cyprus has proven to be talented. I'm looking forward to teaming with Angela. She's a woman that I admire as far as work and what she's done for AWA. Hopefully all of us can go out there on saturday and give the fans a really great match. That's really all I can say."
[ Before Jenny could say anything Mike let out a yell..]
Mike YOung: "YES! Haha...You circled Yes! I knew it!"
[ Trying to look over my shoulder and peak inside Jenny asked.]
Jenny Tull: "What is he talking about?"
Skylar Black: "Just a thing he asked me..Jenny catch me at a better time. I'm so sorry."
[ Skylar shrugged and closed the door as the scene fades.]
