Lucy Reed was thirty-seven. For the past twenty-two years her life had been on a downward spiral. Since she was sixteen she'd been addicted to heroin. Her family had disowned her but that happened before her addiction. She was in an upstairs bathroom. She was waiting for her friend's boyfriend to come back with some heroin. She looked in the mirror. She had long dark wavy hair and light brown eyes. She used to be beautiful. Now she didn't even recognize the person starring back at her. She had dark circles under her eyes. She was skinny from the heroin. She hated herself. She went downstairs. She sat on the couch. Wrestling was on.
"Damn he's hot." Her friend Shelly said coming into the room looking at the TV.
"Who John?"
"Is that his name?"
"Yeah." "That's John Cena." "I lost my virginity to him."
"No way."
"We went to high school together." "He was a grade ahead of me." "I loved him."
"Why did you break up?"
"Well we didn't technically." "When my parents made me- I mean when we moved I wasn't allowed to say goodbye to him." "Where the hell's Deacon?"
"He'll be here in a minute."
"I need my fix."
Five minutes later Deacon walked through the door.
"It's about time." Lucy said.
"Sorry the guy was late." Deacon said. He gave her her share. She crushed it up and snorted it.
"Oh yeah, that's much better." She said.
A few hours later when she was coming down she fell asleep.
Flashback
Lucy was fifteen. She was three months into her freshman year. She was walking home from school. A car slowed down and rolled down the window.
"Hi Lucy." John said from the driver's side.
"Hi John."
"Want a ride home?"
"Sure." She got in the car.
It was a five minute ride to her house.
"Thanks for the ride John."
"You're welcome."
The next day she was walking home. She saw John's car slow down beside her.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." "Get in." She got in. "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"Me to."
They went to a diner. They'd just finished eating.
"Thank you." She said.
"You're welcome." "I had fun."
"Me to."
He drove her home.
"Lucy what are you doing Saturday?" John asked.
"Nothing."
"Would you like to go to the movies?"
"Sure." He kissed her. She kissed him back. She smiled. "Bye."
"Bye."
End Of Flashback
Lucy was asleep on the couch. She was talking in her sleep.
"No." She said "No." "Please give her to me she's mine." "Please." "Please." "Let me just hold her for a minute." "No don't take her." Lucy sat straight up.
She went upstairs to the bathroom. She started to cry. She hadn't had that dream in a long time.
"I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." She said through her tears.
