I spent the next few days settling into my condo. That house was too big for two people so being it alone would be worse. I wanted the thought of that house to be out of my head. I wanted all the memories burned, all the moments buried. I sold everything that wasn't mine and the house got sold the day after I put it on the market. Little old me sitting with $320 million in my bank account. I love it. I have Nyesha and Shenece deal with my money instead of the bank so I won't be questioned by the government or whoever the hell is concerned with that type of shit.
I agreed to go to the training studio tomorrow since I skipped out on so much things this week. I looked over at Orion who was sitting on my legs.
I smiled. "We finally settled boy!" I grabbed him and buried my face in his soft fur. He scrambled to get comfortable and I just laid there. Finally satisfied.

As soon as I got up the next morning I got ready to head out. As I was about to walk out I saw a brown paper bag on the counter. My coke. I looked down at Orion almost forgetting to take his leash off. I took it out the bag and decided to just finish what was left. Was it too much to take at once? Probably.
"I'll be back later my love!" I shouted as I walked out. It started to hit me on my way there but not enough for me to not concentrate properly on driving.
"Woo! Good morning everyone!" I yelled as I walked inside. Not everyone was here yet.
"Fuck is you so loud for?" Shenece asked.
"Because I am in a good mood,"
"Are you fucking high?!" As I was about to answer her Nyesha and Leonora walked in.
"Sorry we're late traffic got the best of us,"
"Azazel and Lunar aren't here yet so you're fine," Bria said.
"Are. You. High." Shenece asked again.
"I... might just be," she rolled her eyes.
"Tyra what the fuck?"
"Not that much though I'm fine. Damn. I'm fine,"
Azazel and Lunar finally arrived and everyone got up to get changed. I stumbled a little when I was putting on my pants. I tripped over my own foot and it caused my head to spin like crazy.
"Sit down," Shenece said as she dragged me to the floor. "What was it?"
"Cocaine,"
"Fucking hell Tyra. Right now?"
"You shouldn't be doing that shit at all bitch," Nyesha said as she walked over. She snatched me up from the floor and grabbed my shirt from my collar. "Pull yourself together. Don't make a fool of yourself in front of everyone on your first day back. Especially not Dom."
"Don't worry I got you. I'm okay."

We were given tasks that Dom wanted to see us do. He left me for last and I was thankful since my high wasn't gone yet. Surprisingly he never noticed. Azazel did though.
"So what is it coke? Weed? Or are you one of those people that like to put theirselves on the brink of death with shit like heroine?" He asked.
"Coke. Please don't make feel worse than I already do," I looked down. I lose my confidence every time I talk to him.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why coke?"
"It works better than weed."
