Iv’e known Jessica for almost six years now and she’s been there for me no matter what; she’s got my back. Likewise she’s like my baby i will do anything and everything i can to protect her. Freshman year got a little crazy started stealing pills from her mom we would go to school all jacked up but we still had each other no matter what. "I got in too deep” according to Jessica’s step dad and was banned from hanging out at Jessica’s house. Almost as if a forbidden love we hung out everyday at school then one day she was gone. I had no one no goodbye no heads up just a missing friend, a missing sister. Nine months later i receive a text from my Jessica telling me how and where she was, one of the happiest days of my life. We made plans for me to drive out to Arizona where she was living and stay for two weeks then she would come back with me for two weeks. I stayed there for the two weeks it was great but ofcourse when me and Jess get together we dont make the best choices. We found some pills in her moms cabinent that ofcourse we took. What can i say we love to party.
When it was time for me and Jess to head back to Cali we had plans for her to stay for two weeks, but once we got to my house Jessica decided she didn't want to go back to Arizona. Once we convinced my mom she moved in and officially became family. Although it is fun having her around all the time there was plenty of times we made poor decisions. Jess and i never made the smartest choices especially when it came to partying and drugs. It used to be just smoking weed and popping pills but then it kept getting worse and worse, we were so caught up in it we lost all of our friends, wouldn't go to school. We would just sit at home and do meth and heroin until i had to leave for work, even then it got way out of control i got too messed up one night and didn't show up for work, lost my job, lost my car and lost all respect from my friends and family. Over the course of eight months we were injecting heroin everyday in order for us to function. We dropped out of school and chose a lifestyle we had never expected to endure. After dying six times, paramedics taking us to the ER, and loss of family and support, to this day Jess and i work day by day on our 2 month sobriety, in hopes of never having to return to the curse that we were trapped in. My name's Josephine and no matter where i go i know I'm being judged, all i can ask for is to get to know me before you assume the type of person i am. Compared to the person i was.
