Victoria sat up in her bed. She stretched and got up. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, her vision blurry. She was hungover. The feeling was all too familiar to her. She had dark circles under her eyes and a throbbing headache. She looked horrible. She went downstairs. Her mom glanced up from the tv and smiled at her.
"Hey sweetie." Her mom said.
Victoria faked a smile. She didn't want to deal with anything right now. "Hi mom."
Her mom doesn't know that Victoria parties, drinks, and does drugs. She thinks she's going over to her best friend, Serena's house. Which, she does, just to pick Serena up to go to the party, too.
Victoria got an asprin and sat down and ate a bowl of cereal, then went upstairs.
She counted her money she got a week ago from stripping at a club out of town. $462. She got out her iPhone and skimmed through her contacts.
"Who's Scott?" She thought to herself. She shrugged and sent Serena a "good-morning" text. She massaged her temples. The headache lessened and her vision cleared.
It was 2 pm- normal time for Victoria to wake up after partying until 5 am. She vaguely remembers sleeping with two guys the night before. She groaned. Oh, how she messed up her life. And she was only 19.
