athena gray herron had promised herself a while ago she would never touch a joint ever again in her life. yet here she was, desperately searching for one.

she opened and closed every single drawer. she was almost one hundred percent sure she had kept one.

the girl had gotten into smoking marijuana a year ago at campus. some girl who was in her science class named jordan introduced it to her, telling her it was good for stress. she knew it was addictive, but she thought a cigarette a week wouldn't do any damage.

the problem was when one cigarette a week turned into two a week, and two a week turned into one every single day. christina had caught her once, and she helped her get out of it.

it was hard, but she did it. nobody ever found out about it, except for christina, of course.

when she went back from college, she kept one. she didn't know exactly why, but it didn't stop her from doing it.

and now she was about to light it, a year after she promised not to.

she was stressed. she was hurting. she was wasn't confident. she wasn't strong, yet nobody seemed to notice.

she lighted the cigarette as tears started to fall from her eyes. she didn't want to do it, but she felt like she had no option. she felt as she was trapped with no way out.

"i'm sorry, mom." she whispered to herself, hoping myta would somehow hear her, before falling into her bed, already staring to smoke.
