I get in the way of my happy endings. I'm the antagonist of my own life.

This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs.

This first-person narrative follows Louie, an 19-year-old who falls into a tragic addiction to prescription drugs after recovering from a broken arm. This story delves into the deep psyche of a fractured mind in the relentless cycle of self sabotage, touching on topics of self-discovery, abusive relationships, addiction, and moral ambiguities. This story consistently brings up matters of addiction, abuse, trauma, suicidal behavior, and sexual themes that may be triggering or uncomfortable to some, so read at your own discretion. 

This is a rework of a story I wrote when I was 17 lol. My college english class inspired me to revisit it. Hopefully you'll enjoy the juvenile themes done thoroughly with adult pain :)

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.

"I wasn't addicted to drugs. Yes, I liked using drugs, but to call me an addict would be a false accusation. But then, why can't I stop?" Harry Styles seemingly had everything a 16 year old could ever dream of. He was attractive, famous, rich and part of the biggest boyband in the world. His life outwardly appeared to be a straight line of perfection. Then he met Cory Bleu and things changed. Desperate to escape his childlike boybander persona, Harry allows Cory to take him on a dive headfirst into the dark side of the celebrity world that he's been sheltered from. Without warning he's thrust into a life of lies, scandal, sex, violence and especially drugs. Faced with a growing addiction that he can't seem to stop and the unexpected death of someone incredibly important to him, Harry starts to wonder if he can ever get out of the hole he's buried himself in. Can Harry recognize the consequences of his actions before he hurts everyone he loves? *Trigger Warning: Deals with drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, depression, self harm, sexual abuse, etc.*
