Self-Doubt by Praiise24k_
2 parts Ongoing Mature
Ariya, a 17-year-old girl, has been trapped in the world of drugs since she was just 5 years old, introduced to them by her own drug-addicted mother. At the age of 8, her aunt discovered the horrifying truth and rescued her, placing her in a rehab program. Unfortunately, the program failed when a traumatic event led Ariya to relapse. Now, Ariya has learned to conceal her addiction, taking small doses to avoid detection. Her secret life of substance abuse caused her boyfriend to leave her, choosing drugs over their relationship. However, her life takes a turn when she meets two pivotal people: one who becomes a true friend and another who falls in love with her. Ariya faces a critical decision that could determine her fate: will she find the strength to get clean, or will she succumb to an overdose, allowing drugs to take control of her life? ......... Egypt, a 16-year-old basketball player known as one of the best hoopers at Riverview High School, has always kept a low profile, sticking close to his friends Brandon and Daquan. After a tough start in foster care and being raised by his uncle from the age of 13, Egypt avoids the girls from the south side of LA due to their reputation. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Ariya, who stands out to him with her quiet yet complex demeanor. Following a night when he dances with her, Egypt becomes increasingly curious about Ariya, intrigued by her contrasting qualities. This curiosity might lead to something deeper, sparking questions about whether his interest will turn into lust or simply fade away. Egypt's journey of discovery and the unfolding dynamics with Ariya promise to bring new challenges and emotions into his life. Will his curiosity lead to a deeper connection or will it fizzle out?
