CHAPTER 6 - Gone Crazy

DeAnna was so glad to have moved in with her mom at her grandma Steffke's. She had all her aunts and uncle to hang out with. Her grandma Steffke was always so sweet, loving and forgiving. Her and her mom slept in the basement.
Her mom worked at a restaurant called 'Frank's Mighty Bite'. That summer DeAnna would go with her some days to clear tables with her. She enjoyed it. Her boss Frank would even sometimes come over to party with all of us. DeAnna and Rose would love to dance to BTO "Taking Care Of Business".
Her grandparents were always having family cook outs. All kinds of family would come over to eat, drink and swim. There was a five foot pool. They would all be drinking and through each other in the pool. Sheila her step sister would come over to party with them too. She couldn't stand to be around her dad Frank and had a place of her own with her boyfriend Rick. DeAnna got to hanging out with Sheila a lot. She still hung out with Linda and Joey would come over to see DeAnna. But DeAnna remembered how he broke up with her when Sheila had cut her hair so short. It really broke her heart. It was her first heart break from a boy. She hung out with Joey some but just didn't love him like she used to.
DeAnna was feeling so down. She had still felt so bad about what Big Tony had did to her. She felt so bad and unclean. It played on her mind alot still. One night when she was drinking she was just crying and crying and felt like she didn't want to live anymore. So she took a whole bottle of Midol. The only thing it did was make her see colored squares floating around around her. After that she decided not to be trying that anymore. None of it worked anyway.

DeAnna's mom found an apartment in Westland. Then moved into the apartment. It was right down the road from Sheila and Rick. They got pounds of marijuana off the boats when they first came into Detroit. She'd have at least ten pounds of Columbian Red and Gold which she sold. But she'd also have Tia Stick which was her own to smoke it was so good. Just a toke or two and you'd be stoned. Sheila also sold cocaine, acid and mescaline. DeAnna spent most her time at Sheila's. They'd get high and play ping-pong all the time. They'd be laughing so much they'd hardly be able to see the ball.
DeAnna meet the neighbor guys who lived next door. It was Tom, Jerry and Bob. Jerry really liked DeAnna. They hung out all the time. But she didn't love him as a boyfriend. She was mostly getting high and drinking all the time.
One night she did a hit of acid she got from Sheila. She was home alone in the apartment. Her mom was at work. She was so high she walked out the frontdoor and she saw other apartment doors. Although there were just trees out there. Jerry came out and saw she was messed up so talked her into hanging out at their apartment to keep an eye on her. They partied all the time. Her mom even would drink and smoke pot with them when she had time off work. They would tease her and call her "Greatwhite Mother"!

DeAnna went to Jane Macon Jr High School. She sold acid and mescaline always having 100 hits of one or the other all the time. She sold them for Shelia. Any money she made off them she would just use for hits for herself or close friends. Once in awhile she'd skip a class or two so she could just trip with friends. Most the time she saved them for the weekends.
One day she decided to take a hit of Mescaline before Math class. It usually took an hour to get off. And she figured she'd skip the rest of her classes for the day. Lori, a girl who sat next to her in Math, wanted to buy a few hits and kept asking her if it was good. She bought some from someone else and didn't even get off on it. DeAnna kept telling her yes it was good. So she finally bought 5 hits from her. They went into class and found out they had a surprise test that day which would take the full hour of the class.
DeAnna loved Math so was just getting into the test. Near the end of the class hour DeAnna started laughing. She was beginning to get off. She would sometimes laugh for hours. She loved doing the stuff. It was killer to be so happy all the time. She kept trying not to laugh the whole class was so quite while taking the test. But the harder she tried not to laugh the more she would laugh.
She was holding her head down trying not to look up at the teacher. So she turned her head toward Lori knowing she knew she was tripping. And Lori just kinda shook her head figuring it was good stuff. And DeAnna just laughed even harder. She just couldn't stop. Before you knew it Lori started laughing even though she wasn't tripping. Then the next thing she knew the whole class started laughing. The teacher seeing the class was starting to get out of hand looked at DeAnna.
"DeAnna!" The teacher called to her. "What did you do take a giggly pill this morning or something?"
DeAnna just shook her head yes still laughing. Luckily the bell rang. Class was over! Everyone turned in their papers and Lori followed DeAnna out of class both still laughing.
"Guess it is good stuff!" Lori said as they walked down the hallway together.
DeAnna decided to through a party one Friday nite. She told friends at school. It was a bring your own party. That night so many people showed up everyone couldn't fit in the apartment and were hanging outside too. Jerry came over and the guys that lived upstairs above them came over too. DeAnna didn't know them but heard them partying alot upstairs too. Most the people at the party DeAnna didn't even know. It was like that though. Anytime someone heard about a party anywhere all kinds of people would just show up. It didn't matter if you knew the people or not.
The next day landlord told her mom about it and how DeAnna was always hanging out next store with Jerry all the time. That night DeAnna, Jerry and her mom were hanging out in the kitchen partying and her mom brought it up. They all just laughed about it. And her mom suggested the made a doorway through the broom closet which was back to back in their apartments. That way they wouldn't have to walk outside and the landlord would never even know.
DeAnna started to party some with the guys upstairs. They smoked alot of pot and had a killer water bong. It made the smoke go down so much smoother. They had a parachute that hung from the ceiling down each of the walls to the floor. It was really cool looking. Each area of the wall was a different color white, orange and green. DeAnna told them how she loved it. So they took it down and gave it to her. They said they didn't really care for it anymore.
DeAnna had a bad crush on this guy in school. He didn't really seem to know she existed. So she got this crazy idea and bought a witchcraft book. She did a love spell on him. It seemed to work. He did start noticing her. But then she got too busy just partying and decided she wasn't really interested in anyone. Drugs was all she needed. They made you feel good and never hurt you. Of course unless you O D ed!
