STACEY LEIGH

I guess I just needed something to get my mind away from it all. I had no one or nothing to turn to, this was the only thing I could do which made me feel better. This is where my life all changed. At the time I thought it was the best thing ever, I thought I had friends, I thought...

I thought I was alone. One stupid thing, and I just lost it all. It's funny how people can turn on ya, and what things can change ya. I never knew it would do this to me, I never knew it all would end up like this. Twenty quid, that's where it started, twenty quid...

STACEY LEIGH

And I did regret it. I didn't listen to myself. I knew I shouldn't have done it. But she kept pushing me, and the more I didn't want to, the more I wanted to try it. To see what happens. I heard it solves problems. I heard it was a way to escape the real world. Would it have helped me to forget?.... That's all that i was thinking about.

STACEY LEIGH

I felt amazing. I had nothing to worry about. I finally couldn’t feel the pain. It helped me forget things for a moment, but not to forget for a life time. So I kept having it. It was the only thing that kept me happy. But after a couple of weeks, it started to take it’s toll. I had no money, no home, I quit school, I had nothing.

STACEY LEIGH

I knew that I had sunk to a low. I needed to find help, so I came to you to find it.

STACEY LEIGH

But I knew this life wasn’t my fault. It can’t be my fault, can it?

THE END.
