Emily's POV

I'm twenty years old and I have a girlfriend name Maya, and I love her. And we do cocaine together and I take Oxycodone pills every day. I'm not a drug addict and I don't need help, because I really need the pills to help me with the pain. My parents don't know I do coke or take oxy pills and they don't need to know. I live with my girlfriend and we been together almost a year. She sells weed and coke on the side to get money. I was in college but I dropped out and I haven't told my parents about it.

Since the car accident everything has changed for me, because I can't swim no more because my arm and shoulder was badly hurt in the accident. The doctor gave me Oxycodone pills for the serve pain, but since I started taking the pills I love the high. I love how the pills make me feel and I don't know how to explain the high, but it's an amazing feeling.

Maya went out with friends and I didn't feel like going out. But I went to my dealer's place to get more oxy pills.

''I need more.'' I said.

''You have money?'' Kenny said.

''No, but I will have the money soon.'' I said.

''Come on, it's been three weeks and you still haven't paid me.'' Kenny said.

''I swear I will get the money soon then pay. Please I need the pills.'' I said.

''No. Come back with the money then I give you the pills.'' Kenny said and closed the door.

Fuck, and I owe Kenny two hundred dollars. And Maya only sells weed and coke but I really want oxy pills. I will talk to Maya and hope she will give me the money. I go home to take a nap and wait for Maya to come home.

-Hours later-

I wake up and its 4am and I look around. Maya is sleeping and I check her wallet and she has five hundred dollars, and I take out two hundred. I go to Kenny's apartment. I knock on the door non-stop and finally he opened the door.

''Bitch, it's almost five in the morning. What the fuck?!" Kenny said angry.

''I got the money.'' I said and I give him the money.

''You couldn't wait?'' Kenny said and he counts the money.

''No, now are we even?'' I said.

''Yeah, we are. So what do you want?'' Kenny said.

''The usual, half.'' I said and he nods.

''Wait here.'' Kenny said and closed the door. I wait like a minute or two then he opens the door. He gave me the pills and I walk away and walk home alone.

I arrived home and Maya is mad and she found out I took the money.

''What the hell?!'' Maya yelled.

''I had to pay him back.'' I said.

''Stop going to him and his stuff is weak.'' Maya said.

''I just went to get oxy pills I swear. I owed him two hundred dollars and I had to pay him back.'' I said.

''I don't care. You can't just take my money like that without me knowing, and you know I have to pay Ivan back.'' Maya said.

''You are his best seller and he will understand.'' I said and I start to kiss Maya.

''Just don't do it again, okay?'' Maya said and she kiss me.

''I promise.'' I said. We keep kissing and start to undress each other.

-Few days later-

I wake up with hangover I don't remember what happened, I look around the apartment. It's 4pm and Maya isn't here and she probably went out with friends. I get up and I look for something to eat but haven't bought grocery in days. I take a shower then put on jeans and a shirt on. Someone knocks on the door and I open it and its Aria, we hug and she come in the apartment.

''I missed you so much.'' Aria said and we smile.

''How's New York?'' I said.

''Great and very expensive city to live in. Ezra and I we got engaged.'' Aria said smiling.

''I'm so happy for you. Wow the ring is really beautiful.'' I said.

''Now we are starting to set for the wedding and I want to be my bridesmaid.'' Aria said.

''Yeah of course.'' I said smiling.

''Great. How is Maya doing?'' Aria said.

''We are doing well and sometimes we argue but we work it out. Now she is out with her friends.'' I said.

''Wanna go out for lunch?'' Aria said.

''Yeah sure, just wait right here I need to get something.'' I said and she nod.

I go my room and I take out the bag of coke, I start to break into three lines. I roll up a dollar bill and I sniffle the first line and it feels good. I do it again to the second line.

''Emily!'' Aria yelled.

''It's not what it looks like.'' I said.

''Are you really sniffing coke?'' Aria said.

''I-I-I- um.'' I start to stutter because I don't know what to say.

''Emily, why are you doing this?'' Aria said.

''It's none of your business.'' I said.

''It is my business because I care about you. Does Maya know?'' Aria said.

''Aria you need to go.'' I said.

''Emily this is serious and it's not good for you.'' Aria said.

''Leave!" I yelled.

''Fine but this isn't over.'' Aria said and she left.

I wait until Maya come home and I'm freaking out because what happened with Aria. I try to calm down but I can't then I grab beer from the fridge and drink it. Later Maya comes home and I told her what happened with Aria earlier, she is helping me to calm down.

''Let Aria cool down then talk to her.'' Maya said.

''I just hope she won't tell my parents about it.'' I said.

''Talk to her first then tell her not to tell your parents. Everything will be okay just don't freak out, okay.'' Maya said and I nod.

Maya and I we take oxy pills and I start to feel the high. We start to kiss and start undressing each other.

-Two days later-

I just took two pills of oxy and I'm going to do coke right now. I broke the coke into lines then I start to sniff it. And my body starts to feel the high. I hear a loud bang on the door and I open it, damn it's my parents and they are angry. They come inside and start to yell at me.

''Why are you yelling at me?'' I asked.

''Aria told us you are taking coke!'' My mom said angry.

''Not true.'' I lied.

''Emily you are a horrible liar and tell us the truth now.'' My dad said.

''Fine! I do coke and oxy pills every day to deal with the pain! That I can't swim anymore.'' I yelled.

''Why you didn't talk to us? We could have helped you anyhow.'' My dad said.

''Do you and Maya take drugs together?'' My mom said.

My parents have met Maya before.

''That is none of your business what we do in our apartment.'' I said.

''Emily, doing drugs is not good for you. Why you have been lying to us?'' My dad said.

''How long you been doing drugs?'' My mom said.

''For a while, but I won't stop because I need it for pain.'' I said.

''Stop with the bull Emily, and you are going to rehab because you need help.'' My dad said.

''Get out now and I don't need rehab.'' I yelled.

I put my hand on my chest and I feel pain.

''Emily what's wrong?'' My mom asked worried.

''My chest.'' I said in pain. My dad picked me up and I start to close my eyes.

-Hospital-

I wake up and I see my parents sitting next to me and I have IV in my right arm.

''What happened?'' I said.

''You almost died.'' My mom said and starts to cry.

''I don't remember what happened.'' I said.

''It happened last night, and we been here all night with you.'' My dad said.

''Where is Maya?'' I asked.

''She is on the phone with her mom.'' My dad said.

''Please Emily go to rehab. You tested positive in your drug test. You need help and we don't want to lose our only daughter.'' My mom plead.

Maya comes in the room and she hugs me.

''Talk to Maya, while your mother and I talk to the doctor.'' My dad said and they leave.

Maya and I look at each other and we hold hands.

''How are you feeling?'' Maya said.

''Sore. They want me to go to rehab.'' I said.

''What you think?'' Maya said.

''I don't know really.'' I said.

''Rehab is a joke. But I'm happy you will feel better later.'' Maya said.

''I don't like seeing my parents hurt or crying.'' I said.

''I know.'' Maya said and I look out the window.

Paige's POV

I'm twenty four years old and I work with my family at Rosewood drug and alcohol rehab camp. I work as a nurse and I like my job helping other people. I work with my best friend Mona and she is a nurse too. I put my pet iguana on my shoulder and his name is Hot Sauce, and Mona doesn't like hot sauce too much but she will love him later on.

Then I go to the lunch room with Mona and our friends. Caleb Rivers is the cook, Toby Cavanaugh is the handyman and Wren Kingston is certified drug and alcohol counselor. My parents are the owners of the rehab camp and my dad is also the certified drug and alcohol counselor.

We grab our lunch and we sit down together to eat. Wren is not eating with us because he doesn't like Toby. And I feed hot sauce and Caleb starts to pet him.

''He is gross.'' Mona said.

''Meany, don't hurt his feelings.'' I said and I put hot sauce on the table.

''Why took him out of his tank?'' Mona said.

''He needs the fresh air, duh.'' I said and we laugh.

''Well I like hot sauce.'' Toby said.

''Hot sauce likes you too.'' I said and Toby feed him.

''Whatever.'' Mona said.

''My parents said next week we will get new people to the camp.'' I said eating my sandwich.

''You saw their files?'' Caleb said drinking his soda.

''Mona and I have to, so we can know their medical background.'' I said.

''How many people?'' Toby asked.

''Maybe like fifteen people. But we are not sure yet because some will come and others won't come. So we have to wait next week. Please move hot sauce away from my food.'' Mona said.

''You will love him.'' Caleb said and he moves hot sauce away from Mona.

I get a text from my fiancée Quinn and we been dating three years now. Last month she proposed to me and I said yes. They like Quinn but expect Mona because Quinn and Mona don't get along. My parents like Quinn and they get along. Quinn works as a fifth grade teacher in the city and the rehab camp is upstate away from the city.

''Texting Quinn?'' Caleb said.

''Yeah.'' I said and Mona rolls her eyes.

''I wish you and Quinn would get along.'' I said.

''It will never happen and you can do so much better.'' Mona said.

''Let's not argue about Quinn.'' Toby said.

''We won't argue about her and I'm going back to work.'' Mona said and leaves.

''Don't worry she will come around.'' Toby said.

''Hope so.'' I said.
