So, here it is. The very first story to be published by me on . I wanted to make it memorable, so why not write a little something involving Anya Macpherson? Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, Florence + the Machine, or their song 'Shake it Out'


'Regrets collect, like old friends, here to relive your darkest moments.'

There were a million things Anya regretted. She regretted letting Holly J control her for so long. She regretted letting Sav go, but she also regretted ever falling in love with him. She regretted not sticking to her goals and letting a crush on a doctor ruin her chances of a future. She regretted disappointing Owen. She regretted Cocaine.

'I can see no way, I can see no way. And all of the ghouls come out to play.'

Anya's mistakes were like ghosts. Hanging over her, following her. You couldn't see them. Her expression was usually characteristically happy, but they were they. The weighed down her heart and she dragged her feet, but no one noticed. No one.

And every demon wants his pound of flesh. But I like to keep some things to myself.

Everyone makes stupid mistakes, right? Even little miss perfect Holly J and school saint Clare Edwards had fucked up at least once. Why is just one of Anya's slip-ups blown out of monumental proportion? Oh, that's right. She's actually fucked up to many times to count, and that's what made her different. Mistakes most people didn't know about. She was never much of a confider, anyways.

I like to keep my issues drawn, it's always darkest before the dawn.

Few knew about Anya's run-in with Cocaine. Chloe, Owen, and Bianca, everyone who was present during the times where she had snorted. Drugs were used as an escape, to most. To get away from their shitty lives. It was a hidden darkness, and she knew it would all catch up to her at some point. It was inevitable.

One line.

Two lines.

Three lines.

Four.

Innocent Anya isn't here anymore.
