Finally one day I grew tired of everything and left Steven . He would look for me everywhere and even go to my parents house where they had no clue where I was .

I was living with Marcus the guy who owned the music store I had worked at for a couple of years. He soon called my parents and they found me . My mother begged for me to go back home and I accepted .

My father received me with open arms and my mother cried for hours saying it was all her fault but there was no one to blame except myself.

Thankfully with the help of my family I was taken to a help center for drug addicts .

There I found the help I needed and met good people who had messed up just like I did .

I recovered with the support of all of them in about a year .

Soon I was back home with a shaved head and a healthy body , I was finally clean and I never felt so good .

My family received me with a small gathering , Rose was there and all of my close friends .

Marcus gifted me a phone so I could communicate with everyone , as soon as I entered my Facebook account I was bombarded with thousands of text messages from Steven . I quickly blocked him and erased every single photograph I had with him . I was never going back to that lifestyle ever again . Suddenly I got a text message it was from Marlene .

" Hey , I have been trying to get in contact with you for the past six months . I just had this very bad dream about you and ever since I have been so worried about you . If you see this please text me back I miss you and hope you are doing well Love you xo" -

I smiled and texted her about my situation and instantly she replied .

Soon everything was back to normal , I went back to my old job I moved back with my parents and paid every single person I owed money to.

My parents were happy was finally healthy again and they supported me one hundred percent with every good decision I made . They even approved of me having a boyfriend and bringing him home so they could get to know him . But I stayed single for a long time before getting involved romantically with someone again.

Everyday I texted with Marlene and told her about my day , then one day she appeared at my job . I was so surprised when she entered I almost broke down crying .

Marlene stayed with me until my shift was over and then we headed to a coffee shop where we would meet a friend of hers . And to my surprise it was the mysterious boy with the blue eyes and the amazing hair .

That day changed my life . I finally got to know the guy whom I would fall in love with and end up marrying in a couple of years . From that day everything got better and better .

My life was completely turned around I lost everything , at some point in my life I wished I had never came out so none of this would of happened to me . But I am actually glad all of this happened because I met the love of my life , I discovered who my true friends are and I gained the respect of my parents.

Now after all this time I don't regret any decision I have ever made because I came to the realization that This is who I am and this is who I am meant to be.
