My name is Neveah I am 17 years old and a senior in high school let me give you a quick overview of my life for the past three years and where I am now
Everything was all good the first few months of freshmen year until my parents told me they were getting a divorce. Then a custodial battle happened I live with my dad, stepmom, and Madison my sister now who is just a year younger than me. After that happened my mom stopped contacting me completely shutting me out of her life starting her new family. Sophomore year I started to lose interest in activities I used to do like volleyball, hanging out with family, and trying new things. Junior year I started using drugs I know what you are thinking don't use drugs to escape but honestly fuck it it's the only thing that helps me. I've been to rehab 5 times within the past year I am on complete lockdown at my house I go to school and come back home and that's about it. So yes for the past couple of years I've had it completely rough anyways here's my story.

I push my way through the crowd as the loud music plays once I get through all the people I spot my friend Camryn dancing with god knows who I finally get her attention and she makes her way over to me
Back to school parties are a huge thing here everyone drinks and cheers up to the last day of summer
And yes me a recovering addict is at a party around drugs and alcohol and I can't lie and say I haven't had any anyways I feel great
"what's up enjoying the party," she asks me taking a sip of her drink
" I think we should get going my dad is going to be home in a couple of hours," I say over the music
" Oh shit that's true let's get going then," She says
we make our way to our uber and finally after what feels like forever it stops at my house first
" Alright, babes love you text me when you're home," I say to Camryn
" Love you too I'll pick you up tomorrow for school," She says to me before I close the door
Once the uber drives off I see my dads car in the driveway shit he's home early
I enter my house waiting to be yelled at but instead, I was greeted by my stepmom
she's nice I give her that and she's the only one who understands how hard it is to recover
"Your father took my car to work today if you wanted to know," she says from the kitchen while she mixes whatever it is she's making for dinner
" Great because I can't take another hour-long lecture," I say laughing sitting at the kitchen table
" I know but your father just has his best interest at heart for you that's all," she says checking on the food in the oven
