Feel Good (Laurmani)

{23:Restart 2/3}

2 years later..

"Is a two bedroom good?"

"It's whatever you like babe," I said to my girlfriend. Normani and I have fixed almost every problem that we had. We graduated, got our dream jobs, and got our own apartment. But we've been thinking about a child so we are going for a bigger living space.

"I found one, and it fits our budget. It says 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathroom, $975 including the water bill." Normani read from the site.

"Great. Send a request for a tour." I said then kissed her. "I'm gonna be late for work, I'll see you tonight."

"I love you!" she screamed as I rushed out, I blew a kiss ran to the car and zoomed to work.

Let me catch y'all up a bit. So me and Nya opened up a rehabilitation center. Every Monday I would join the club and tell different people my story. That's why I opened it, I knew I would be a good help to people and even one to myself. Today is Monday and first class is 10am and I didn't want to miss it.

"Alright guys, today is Major Monday, which means Ms. Jauregui will be sharing her story for y'all. She's very happy to be able to relate to all of you, and hope she helps by showing her experience and how it changed her and how you could do the same." Nya finished her sentence and we hugged. "Nice." I smirked.

"Alright everybody, I'm Lauren Jauregui, I'm used to be a drug addict. I did cocaine, almost every day of my middle school times. You see, there's no excuse for what I did, but I was going through a rough patch. My father was a pedophile, he would often throw inappropriate remarks and would almost give seductive looks and faces and managed to do it in front of family sometimes.

My dad had almost got a rape charge but my mom was a judge and used to get him shitty sentences, which made me mad for the people who deserved justice. One of those people could've been me. I used to cry in my room every night as I thought about it, sometimes I used to think: what would she do if he had sexually assaulted me? I resented her for it and I still do.

So, eighth grade, I was feeling rebellious and snuck out to this party. There was a guy there selling this white substance, we all know as cocaine. Once again I was feeling rebellious so I tried it, it made me forget about everything and I danced my ass off. It felt as if like I had no worries. Them I just got hooked.

First time I got caught was 10th grade, sent me to rehab. Got caught again 12th grade, got out in like 60 days. then I got caught my third year of college, had to do a year. Came out finished college. Here I am, in a happy relationship, running a business, and getting to share story with all you great people. What I learned is, you don't need drugs, try to find a happy space and relax. A place where you can be free even for a minute. But I know some people don't have that, to be truthful if it wasn't for my girlfriend I'd still be doing drugs. I just hope you found your happy place just like I did and I wish luck and happiness on each and every one of you."

Everyone immediately stared applauding. I started talking and got to know a few and then I went to my office.

I walk in to see Nya crying. "I listened through the vent. The story hits me every time you tell it." She said as she used a tissue to wipe away her tears.

"Aww chica you need a hug?" I said then gave my bestfriend a hug.

"I hate to spoil the moment, but you have a request for another patient. You might know her."

I looked at paper and saw the name. "Fuck."

I haven't been on Wattpad in so long but I'm back. I'm gonna update all week to make up for the months I've been gone. Bye!
