Blood, pills and tears

Vodka or water

-Do you want a cigarette? asks a girl outside the bar.

-No thanks," I say and go back into the bar.

Everyone was drinking, with their shiny brand name dresses and supermodel bodies. I was hungry so I approached the bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. I came out with my glass of water and said to the girl from before

-I think I'll have that cigarette.

-Okay. She said smiling as she handed me a cigarette and a lighter.

-Is that vodka?

-No, it's water.

- Why don't you drink, are you an alcoholic or something?

-Something like that.

-Do you want ecstasy or are you not into drugs? She said as she took out of her purse a little plastic bag with several colorful pills.

- How much will you sell it to me?

- I'll give you one for free if you tell me the truth. What are you doing in a bar where you don't know anyone and don't drink?

-What do you know if I don't know anyone?

- You don't belong here.

I was speechless, I was angry even though I knew it was true.

- Do you envy me?

-Yes. I answered

- You don't drink because alcohol has calories, right?

- Yes, I hate my body.

-Here. He gave me a purple pill, I swallowed it.

- I can help you enter this world, money, fame, beauty. I know you crave it.

I looked at her.

-I'll take that as a yes. She said, grabbed my hand and pulled me by the hand and dragged me through the streets of New York.

- By the way, my name is Alessia. She said

- I'm Stacy

-Stacy, tonight is going to change your life.
