~{TWENTY TWO}~

5th Flashback:

Not much can be said about Billie's rise to power in the drug world. Some say it was sudden, others say it was in the works for years.

Most of it is a mystery, or rather something that Billie herself was never usually comfortable with talking about.

There are plenty of rumors, but the only thing that was ever confirmed to be true was how she started drugs.

From the beginning, Billie was a top of the line student who always took pleasure in passing all of her classes with at least a B+. She didn't worry about stressing over schoolwork, since it all came naturally to her anyway.

Her family was not perfect, but it was stable and they were in good financial condition.

She was also said to have had a brother, but lord only knows whatever happened to him.

Needless to say, she had no reason to turn to drugs other than for her own personal experimentation.

She was probably very naive though, because immediately after her first hit of weed all of her hopes and dreams were out of the picture.

Visions of making history and becoming successful were replaced by nightmares and endless conspiring on how to find enough drugs to satisfy her mind for the next day to come.

There was no warning for her. She threw away her life without any second thoughts towards it.

It supposedly all started one day after school, when she had been leaving soccer practice.

"Eyo, Billie." a girl said as she walked up from behind her.

Billie turned around and smiled slightly. "Hey Hals, what's up?"

Halsey was one of Billie's good friends, though nobody knows what happened to her or where she went after she graduated high school.

Some even say Billie might have killed her with laced drugs, but who knows.

Wouldn't be surprised.

"I got something for you." Halsey told Billie. "We gotta go where the coaches can't spot us though, so do you got a minute?"

Billie cocked an eyebrow curiously. "Yeah, I got time some time on my hands." she answered.

With that, Halsey led Billie to the back of one of the equipment sheds.

"Alright, so what is it that you're just dying to show me?" Billie asked jokingly.

Halsey reached into her pocket, and pulled out a single blunt along with a lighter.

"I got this from a friend of mine." she explained, holding up the blunt. "He said it would help me with those nasty headaches I've been getting lately, and I thought that if something were that effective, I might as well let my best friend in on it too."

Billie stared at it in awe. She'd never seen anything like it around school, but only because she never cared enough to want it.

"What's in it?" she asked.

"Weed." Halsey answered as she started to light the blunt.

She then brought it to her lips, with Billie watching, and took a deep hit of it.

As Halsey was blowing the smoke out, her expression seemed fascinated.

"Holy shit." she said. "This shits amazing."

Billie looked at it curiously, secretly wondering if what her friend had said was true.

But she knew better than to involve herself with drugs. After all, that's how she was raised, right?

Wrong.

"Lemme try." Billie told Halsey eagerly.

Halsey smirked, then handed the blunt over to her friend.

Billie brought it up to her mouth, hesitating before actually putting her lips on it.

"Just suck on it." Halsey reassured her. "Like a straw."

She did exactly that, and successfully took her first hit.

As she blew the smoke out, Billie knew exactly why Halsey had been so astonished by the drug.

Oddly enough, it made her feel really good after taking only one hit.

"Hals, you're a fucking genius." Billie laughed a bit, then pointed to the point. "This is fucking genius."

Halsey grinned. "I guess we found ourselves a new hobby then."

A/N: just a little fact about this chapter, everything actually happened in real life. I don't like to talk about it too much, but I actually was addicted to weed n stuff not so long ago, and the beginning of my addiction started exactly as explained in this chapter. I'm doing much better now though, and I don't smoke anymore so that's good 👌🏻

Just thought I'd share that with y'all, and I'm sure you can tell now why I'm writing a fic about drug addictions 😂
