Bad Decisions(Nalu)

Chapter 1: Average, Normal Life

LUCY POV

Average, normal life. Those are the lives of average, normal people.

They wake up next to their partner, I wake up with the random man I laid last night.

They eat breakfast to feel energized for work, I sniff coke to not pass out while I'm dancing on a pole.

After a long day, they get there paychecks, and I try to not be caught stealing wallets.

And finally, they sleep peacefully next to their partner, while I intercourse peacefully with a random man.

I hope its obvious that I don't have an average, normal life. Anything but that actually. My only friend is my dealer. Which isn't even my friend so I don't know why I thought that. So I guess she's just my dealer. Cana.

Cana has an average, normal life. She runs the nightclub that I work at,  has a boyfriend, and also has many friends.

And then there's me.

My ex, Natsu, left me 3 years ago for Lissana Strauss. Natsu was the only thing that made a tiny, insecure flower bud inside me finally bloom. He was basically the reason I smiled for about 2 years. But then Lissana came, she slept with him while I was dating him, and she took him away. The flower inside me then died out. So I became my insecure self again, and started sniffing cocaine.

Once my friend Levy found out about my drug problem, she tried to help me by telling her parents, who called my other friend's parents. Then my friends' parents forced them not to talk to me anymore. I was known as a 'bad influence'.

And this all happened when I was 18.

So here I am, in my tiny bed, in my tiny apartment, thinking about my not-so average, normal life.

I wrapped the thin sheets that hugged my cold, shivering body. Its only 2 weeks until Christmas in Magnolia. Not like I'm excited though. Nothing ever changes for me on Christmas.

I shifted to look at the clock. The bed squeaked while doing this.

Note to self- buy a new bed. Don't judge me, I hate squeaky sounds.

6:30. Only 30 minutes until work. Time to get up.

I sighed and pulled of the sheets off my body allowing the cold air to invade me more than before. I sat up on my bed.

The bed squeaked while doing this.

I got up and walked to the bathroom while my bare feet touched the cold wooden floor.

The wooden floor creaked while doing this.

I switched the lights on, and turned the shower handle all the way to hot.

The shower handle squeaked while doing this.

Now while waiting for the water to turn hot, I did the one thing that has kept me alive for 3 years.

Sniff.

I exhaled the soothing powder that made me feel so tingly and excited for no reason.

Sand. A bunch of sand swirled around me making the whole bathroom shake.  I could barely see so I covered my eyes hoping it would end. And suddenly everything started to squeak and creak.

Once the sand finally cleared. I uncovered my eyes and saw........a scorpion.
