It had never occurred to Mimi Marquez that her life would change after she stepped out of her house that one night. Her whole life had been turned upside down. Her parents were bitching on her they were destroying her dreams, they were ruining her life. All she could think about was how she was going to get out. High school wasn't much better, her friends seemed to disappear with each passing day and her grades were no better either. She had lived in The Bronx her whole life and now all she wanted to do was get away as soon as possible. Insane. That's what she was becoming. It was that night, when she wanted to explode. She took out her backpack, dumped everything out. Her destroyed binder, some pens and her precious smack. She left that at the bottom of the bag. She didn't think she could go without it. She started packing her most precious possessions. Her stash. Her money. Her black laced skirt with its precious corset. She was gone. Her mind was racing as she snuck out of her window, climbing carefully unto the tree nearby she stepped firmly on the new mulch and she ran. Running without end, she found herself in Alphabet City. Deciding that this would be the best spot to spend the night. Huddled in the freezing cold, she slept. Uneasy of what she had done, but she stayed she dreamed of a better life, a better world. The warm sun lit her face and made her glow. A young man starred at her. Dazed at how pretty she was. She had perfect skin. She had brilliant wild hair the grazed the sides of her face. Her gracefully closed eyes looked like they could be full of joy and happiness. Slowly the sun woke her up and the startled young man was driven away afraid of being caught staring. Her skirt had been slightly ruffled by the cool April breeze and her hair was crumpled by sleep. Getting up, admiring her beautiful surroundings, she stared out at the children playing on the swing set.
"I need to get a job" was her first thought. Walking away from her bench, her periodical tremors started to take power over her body. Her body needed smack and she didn't have enough money to buy a good shot. Where could she get a decent job and she would be able to get the money fast. Because she knows that her body was not going to stand long without the smack. Roaming through the streets of Alphabet City, Mimi decided to go into Dollar General. It looked like she could get some good money there. As were her assumptions, she got a day job. She was going to be payed 2.75 the hour. But first, she needed her smack. Going into the bathroom, the rubber band on her arm, smack in the needle, she found a good vein; the one she always used, injecting herself slowly so that it would all be used. Emerging from the bathroom, refreshed and somewhat high, she began work. Until the day was gone, and she got her 27.50 from the man that had hired her. And she went on her way, away into the darkness roaming away into the park that she had found refuge in last night.
