You sat in the back of the police car every part of you aching and your childhood best friend sitting in the front seat. Lucy the girl you grew up with who was like your sister had just arrested you for getting in a gang fight and possession of illegal substances could this day get any worse? You never thought you would see her again not after you guys went separate ways after you moved away your senior year yet here you were.

Lucy sat up in the front driving not wanting to look back at you. She couldn’t wrap her head around how the quiet and kind person she knew for years was now in the back of her car. She knew your childhood wasn’t pretty at all and you were already struggling when she saw you last but she never thought it would get this bad. She knew you were smart. You had potential but why were you here? Why were you hanging around with a gang why were you taking drugs why were you getting into fights she just couldn’t understand. She didn’t understand why you were wasting your life away like this. You’re a good person or at least you used to be.
