I've been a troublemaker all my life. Growing up in California, I was always the rebellious one, sneaking out of the house, getting into fights, and experimenting with drugs.

But after both my parents died in a car accident, my rebellious streak turned into a full-blown addiction. I spent my days high, lost in a haze of pills and needles, trying to escape the pain of my loss.

It was a downward spiral that brought me to Warren, Michigan and to the small apartment where I now live with my aunt. She had taken me in, desperate to help me get clean, but I wasn't sure I wanted to be helped.


As I lay on the couch, staring up at the peeling ceiling, I feel a familiar tug in my gut. It's a craving, an itch that I need to scratch.  I get up and rummage through my bag, looking for my stash. But it's empty. I had used it all up the night before. I curse under my breath and contemplate going out to buy more.

I have no clue where anything is and I'm new intown, I thought for a moment about my actions and what I should do. The itchy feeling kept taking over I just couldn't get it out of my head ,I needed my next fix immediately . I stand up quickly and grab my coat from the coat hanger and im just about to leave when my aunt brook stops me .


" Evie ? where are you going?" she asked with a concerned look on her face frowning . " Oh I was just going to take a look around the town I thought I saw a cute clothe store on our way in and thought id take a look" I smiled sweetly at her hoping she'd buy my bullshit ass story .But with my aunt she was always a push over so even if she didn't believe me I was leaving this house either way she wasn't going to tell me shit .


" Oh.... w-well okay honey be carful and please come back before dark I've heard this area isnt the best " She smiled sweetly , I could tell she didn't believe me but oh well not my problem ." Sure ill see you in a little "And with that i grabbed my wallet and headed out the door

I walk through the cold streets of Warren, Michigan lost and trying my best to get familiar with my new surroundings. As I walked around, observing buildings and people, I noticed a guy walking towards me with a hood on his head and dark clothes on.



That guy looks like he definitely sells something or at least has something , this would be so much easier in LA that shit was on every street corner I didn't even have to ask they'd just come up to me . But this place required a lot more work I guess. I sigh and make my way up to him .


"You lost or something?" he asked.



Raising a eyebrow to me shoving his hands in his pockets from the Michigan cold snippy weather , " I just moved here and I was trying to get settled with a 'dr' " I said using my hands as air quotes around doctor . He looked confused as fuck and then realization hit him what I was asking he laughed at me " Yo dwag are you asking me if I'm a street dr ?" he kept laughing , I turned red at embarrassment my judgment was way off I guess


" My bad i just assumed because...... " i started to trail off i mean dude did dress sketchy as hell how was i supposed to know ?! " Because I'm black?" He asked suspiously my eyes widen that was not the reason why would he even think that ?! " I never said that just people at home who dress like you are the dr's " I said defensively


He started to laugh "Im just fucking with you " he chuckled and stuck out his hand. "Hey, I'm Proof. I'm from around here so i think i can help with your problem " he winked

I was skeptical, not sure if I could trust this stranger, but I had nothing to lose at this point."It's a shelter that takes care of people in situations like yours. They also have rap battles ," he continued.

I felt both grateful and curious, so I followed him towards the shelter. There, I met people who were like me - people who struggled with addiction and were just trying to get high and forget about everything bad that has ever happened .

Proof introduced me to his friends and his one friend that was a 'dr' he introduced himself as bizarre.

"Ahh evie nice to meet you " i smirk shaking his hand . "What are you looking for beautiful?" He grinned I think for a moment and at this point I don't even care whatever the fuck he got .

"What ever you got that's strong and take the edge off you know ?" He nodded and took out his backpack from underneath the table and told me to come closer . I look in the bag to see pills with needles next to it and spoons .

"What you got ?" I raised my eyebrow ."this my friend is called china girl " he smirks as he continues but talks lower so no one here's us "it's fentanyl it's just like herion but this shit hits you harder it's good shit " he said confidently.

I was down for anything I was literally about to to itch myself from being around it . "How much ?" I asked quickly "for you I'll give you the whole kit for 60 " he said " I only got 30 what else you got ?" I said trying to make a deal " I got some aderall ?" He said hoping it would peak my interest.

I thought for a moment I just wanted to feel high enough to deal with my petty ass shit ." That's fine " I said taking my wallet out of my pocket and handing him 30 dollars . And then looks around quickly scooting closer to me and pretending to give me a hug stiffing his hand in my jacket pocket leave the pills in there .

"Yo thanks I appreciate it " I said as he nodded at me , I turn to walk away but proof and bizzare stop me "yo evie why don't you stay ? And chill out man em is coming out to battle rap he's sick man like he murders people on the mic " the one named proof said "my aunt wants me home before dark " I said flatly I just wanna leave to be honest .

"Yo how old are you that you need to be home at a certain time ?" Proof raises a brow at me thinking I'm jail bait and he just lead a minor to buy drugs off his friend . "I'm 19 I just- I don't know how to explain it my aunt just doesn't trust me " I roll my eyes .

"We'll do you blame her ?" Bizzare question chuckling

"No I guess not but I'm a grown ass women and can do whatever " I said crossing my arms "Alright if your a grown ass women then stay " proof smirked back at me making me eat my words .

"Sorry guys I gotta date with getting high " I smirked "yo yo we got shit don't worry girl just come and hang with us who knows you might actually want us to be your friends" proof says to me . I roll my eyes I guess free drugs is free drugs

I sat down next to proof and this other guy you told him his name was denuan I introduce myself to him as well and the others of the group  .

We had a lot of fun drinking and snorting lines until he told me his 'doody' was gonna be up soon and murder everyone . I nodded and wait laying back in my seat feeling euphoric with the music blasting in the back .
