I looked out the window not saying a word to my dad. I just did 90 days in rehab and here he goes trying to move away as soon as I get out. The only reason we're moving is because my dad wants my brother Scott and his wife Olivia to keep an eye on me.

Michael - I was really worried about you while you were there.

Evie  - and you didn't come to see me.

Michael -  you have to understand that it was hard seeing you like that.  I want you sober.

I started using fentanyl at age 12 when  my mom was diagnosed with cancer.  It started out of curiosity, I saw how she would just feel relaxed after taking them so I would steal a little bit at a time. She died when I was 13 and that's when I started taking drugs heavily.  At the time I was doing it , my dad and brother didn't know , not like they paid attention to me anyway, because they were grieving so much.   I never really processed her death, one day she was fine and the next she was gone.  I don't think she was sick when she died because they said the cancer was gone , but I guess not.

We pulled up to my brother's house. He was standing outside with Olivia.

He walked over and hugged dad.

Scott - hey dad. Hey Evie

I blankly stared at him and Olivia.

My dad nudged me.

Evie  - hey y'all

We went in the house and they showed me to my room.

My dad , brother and his wife are like big shot lawyers , so it was easy for my dad  find work with my brother

Olivia walked in and sat on my bed.

Olivia - hope you like your room

Evie  - it's okay.

Olivia - me and your brother got you transferred into a new school already and you have to go to a 12 - step program on the weekends.

Evie  - I just got out of rehab.

Olivia - and me and your brother both know that almost dying won't stop you from using. While you were in rehab we went in your room.

Evie  - that's why I couldn't find my stuff.

Olivia - yes. Girl you must want a death wish. Morphine needles and fentanyl.

Evie  -  Olivia you don't get to parent me. I have a dad for that and I'm fine.

Olivia - your dad signed off it so you're going.

Evie  - alright  mom

I rolled my eyes. I'm fine.
