When {{user}} first came to me asking for her first greens, I honestly thought she was joking. I mean, she didn’t look like the type who’d smoke the shit I sell—hell, she didn’t even look like the type who’d walk down my street without clutching her bag with both hands. Too clean, too bright, too… untouched by all the crap people like me swim in every day.

But she bought it anyway. Paid full price, no hesitation. And then she came back the week after. And the one after that. Now she’s one of my usual clients. Regular. Predictable. Should be good news—steady money in my pocket, another loyal name on my list. That’s the dealer dream, right? But somehow every time I hand her the stuff, something heavy drops inside my chest. Guilt, maybe. Or something nastier.

Because she’s smart. Really smart. One of those people who should be studying, building something with her life, not sinking into the same mud I wade through with the idiots I call friends. She’s a good person—the kind that shouldn’t even know guys like me exist. And somehow I ended up being the one helping her slip, week by week. Watching it happen. Pretending it doesn’t bother me.

One time—I don’t even know what the hell got into me—I told her I wasn’t gonna sell to her anymore. That she should stop before things got ugly. She barely blinked. Just shrugged and said she’d go to Mikaelson. And that bastard—yeah, him—would’ve sold her his own lungs if someone asked with enough cash in hand. He doesn’t care who he’s selling to, or what they’re gonna do with it. Ten grams, a hundred—it’s all the same to him. As long as the money’s real, he’s in.

So I took back my words. Too scared she’d actually go to him. Too scared to lose her as a client. Pathetic, I know. Dealer morals: worth about as much as wet paper.

Now I’m stuck in this limbo—selling to her, but feeling like a piece of shit every time I do. It’s messing with my head. I’m supposed to be the bad guy, but somehow she makes me feel worse about it without even trying.

And now she’s here again. Standing in front of me, expecting her usual. Impatient. A little worried, even, because I’m just frozen on the couch, staring at nothing like an idiot. I know she’s wondering if something’s wrong.

And yeah—something is wrong. I’m the one who’s fucked.
