II felt pain through my head as I woke up. I knew what that pain was, a hangover. Without opening my eyes I reached for the bedside table for the usual painkiller and water, Malone the maid always left it there when she knew I came home from a party. I consumed the medicine as I sat up. My king sized bed looked perfect compared to my large perfect room. I was so lucky to have a rich family and I am always thankful of them. My small day dream was interrupted by a soft knock. 
"come in" I asked.
Malone entered smiling at me and I returned her smile even with my hangover. 
"Your father and mother are downstairs and would like your attendance" 
I nodded understandingly, she left the room slowly after I thanked her for telling me. 
I showered and got dressed in my cream Chanel dress and Donatella pumps.  I brushed my curls slightly to make a wavy affect and wore minimal makeup to go with my pale complexion.


We met in the living room were my brother's and sister's were. I have a twin brother named Donnie and we are alike. We both hold the same looks yet his are more manly as mine are more feminine. He has a muscular built but I have a small petite thin built. We both have blonde hair which are in wavy curls yet his hair is shorter on the sides. I have a little sister called Jacci who is 4, like me she is small and petite for her age, her hair is like mine yet her is shorter into a bob and fridge which makes her look adorable. My brother was standing at the window staring at me angrily, what have I done. The rest of my family were sitting at the sofa looking disappointed, my mother was weeping and her mascara was running, The last time I saw her crying was 6 years ago when my grandfather died. 
"Jacci go up stairs and play with your toys" my father said softly,
we all watched her leave the room. 
"PIPER DRUGS, SERIOUSLY?" He started shouting at me, I flinched at every word. I had no idea what he was talking about. 
"I d-dont know, wh-" I tried to say. 
He grabbed the TV remote at turned on the TV. 
'FLASH EXCLUSIVE... PIPER ROMERO... COCAINE' 
I put my hand over my mouth as the tears began to fall. I took cocaine.. I wasn't even that drunk. I said that I wasn't going to drink because I had a shoot this morning, Which I have obviously missed because its 12.43pm (lunch time). 
"I'm so disappointed in you" my mother said to me. That hurt me most. 
"you're going to a school" My father said, I looked up in shock. 
"Amber Falls" He said handing me a leaflet.
I didn't have to read it, I knew what it was. 

I ran to my room, I dived onto my bed and cried. AFS was a school for rich kids who fuck up and dont know how to behave. I decided to ring Anika. 
"PIPER! I HAVE BEEN RINGING YOU ALL MORNING HAVE YOU SEEN FLASH NEWS, TURNS OUT ONE OF THERE REPORTERS SNEAKED IN LAST NIGHT AND TOOK THEM PICTURES! OMG" 
she was so loud, I held the phone away from my ear until she finished.
"Anika, I'm being sent to Amber Falls because of this shit" 
There was a little silence...
"oh my god, that's awesome, my cousin was sent there and she said it was amazing.." she went on and on about Amber Falls but I knew what her cousin was like, she wouldn't admit its a rehab clinic. 
after we talked and talked, we said our goodbye's. 

I finished packing my stuff with Malone. we packed everything I had into 3 large suitcases. My mother entered the room quietly, she came over and stroked my hair as I zipped up my stuff. 
"mum, I'm really sorry" I said sincerely. 
"I know" 
Her hands were so soft against my hair, I love my mum so much and hate myself for what I did. I have to amit... that was not the first time I took drugs. Drugs to me is a social thing, I would only do it with friends. I know drugs are stupid but its so hard when you have friends pushing it all the time. 

I changed my Facebook status for the last time at home - 'Rehab :(' 
Within minutes I had likes and comments, I really couldn't be bothered to reply to them. I already had so many messages to go through. Im not going to boast about it or brag but I'm pretty famous, being a model and the daughter of a fashion designer and a film director I get lots of attention from the media. Sometimes I hate it, my brother always gets filmed when he has fights and when he's out with girls. 

Jacci came running into my room and gave me some cuddles. We play this game where I lie down and I put my feet under her belly and I lift her above me. She was laughing so sweetly and giggling. We both were laughing. A slight buzzing noise came from my right ear so I looked towards the sound . The shock caused me to drop Jacci but she landed on my stomach and it made me gasp. There was a drone at my window! I ran to my window and closed the curtains. 
"DONNIE! DAD! MOM!" I screamed holding Jacci's ears.
Within seconds they all came in. 
"there's a drone outside my window" I said angrily. 
Donnie looked like he was trying not to laugh. My Dad stalked towards the curtains. I held Jacci close to me, she looked up at me with a confused look on her face. I smiled to reassure her and cuddled her. My dad grabbed the curtains and opened them fully. Nothing was there.
"I promise, it was there!" I told them. 
"Piper, really.. come on, I'm not stupid. Your going to Amber and that's final" He said with a strong voice before leaving the room with the rest of my family, except for Jacci. I guess my dad thought I was making it up. The drone was probably a magazine or newspaper trying to get exclusive pictures of me. I remember when I was in the pool wearing my first ever bikini at age 15 and at that time I wasn't the weight I am now and my self confidence didn't exist. Dixie Magazine's paparazzi managed to get a photo of me and it was labeled with 'guess who's fat!' on a wide spread. I started to eat less and be more healthy, running and swimming everyday. Me and Jacci played and danced until it was time for food.  I went to bed, ready for tomorrow.
