Lauren and Lucy are no longer talking to each other, Lucy starts doing better in school. To reward her, her parents gave her a car. She was to be careful and follow the rules. Even if Lucy had everything she wanted, she was still not very happy. She barely spoke to Ross during school, she could not even look at Lauren nor Ian nor Blake, instead she sat down with Astrid and Cam. Things were starting to change for Lucy. She was becoming a different person. Lucy was very sad for she no longer had real friends. She missed them, she missed being stoned but most of all she missed sharing everything with Lauren. Lauren and Ross has not been coming to school lately. Lucy tried texting Ross, who off course did not answer. Lucy and Lauren never spoke to each other. It's been about a month and a half when Lauren and Lucy last said Hi to each other... One day, Lucy sees Lauren who looks awful, she had lost 10 pounds, does drugs in school, loss her hair, she even looked and dressed differently. Dumbfounded, Lucy stands in front of her locker. As Lauren shows up, two girls from the 10th grade class come near by and start bugging Lauren, unable to defend her self, Lauren gave them a smile and starts crying, Lucy interferes, She shoved one of the girl to a locker and screams at the other one. A big smile stretches out on Lauren's face. They two best friends are reunited. They hugged each other for a long time and ran into the bathroom. Lauren is back, Ross is back, Ian is back and BLAKE IS BACK. We all know what it means. MORE DRUGS IN THE HOUSE. Lauren, Ross, Ian and blake have been doing drugs lately and off course encourage Lucy to join them. She shorty becomes addicted and cannot live without it.

"Now I'm this weed haze and I feel miserable. I'm not sure why I liked pot before. It seemed like such a lame high next to Tina"(247).

After being spending a night doing drugs at Lauren's, Lucy is found in a car accident. Luckily she is not dead but the children, Lauren, Lucy and Ross all went to jail for a night. Lauren for underage drink in, Lucy for driving under the influence and Ross for possession of drugs. They were to go to rehab,  AA for a month or so and had to pick up the trash along the high way next to the beach for community service. When they got home, Lucy was no longer allowed to see her friends without the presence of an adult, her parents cried a lot that day.

Around March 28th, during school, the entire gang, envied Ian's house. Lucy who has been doing, meth, ecstasy, cocaine craved for more and could no longer wait.

"I wanted it again. That feeling. I didn't cut out of school for the same old feeling. I wanted it different. 

                                    I WANTED MOREEEEEE. 

Ross pulled up his sleeves. Lauren rolled her eyes OH MY GOD I HATE NEEDLES.

Ian held a spoon with his handle bent and filled it with crystal meth, then held a lighter beneath it until it was a liquid. Blake pulled the orange cap off of a syringe, sucked the meth up into it, then he held it in his teeth while he swabbed Ross's arm with an alcohol pad. Carefully he eased the needle into a vein. Ross flinched and then closed his eyes out, recapped the needle, slid it into a small coffee on the bedside table, and said WHO IS NEXT ?"(252).

"I said Lauren I want this.I'm not going to be left out again... Blake tapped around my arm, then took an elastic strap and tied it around my arm near my shoulder and told me to squeeze my fist harder. I looked down and saw a blue light spiderweb of the vein start to pop from the bend at my elbow. The alcohol swab was cold. The prick was fast. At that moment I felt sexy, amazing, powerful, smart "(253).
