Miracles Do Happen

When I was just a little girl I had the life of a princess. Then when I was 13, I met this boy at my school. His name was Jacob. He and I were a couple for about a year and a half. We felt like we were in love yet we didn't "know what love was" so we couldn't tell. We assumed so.

Anyways, he and I decided to stay at the movies a little longer past our curfew. We ended up missing the bus home. We walked the 6 mile walk home. He lived across the street. He walked me to my house full of upset parents. I'd never disobeyed them before so they automatically assumed that I had sex with him.

They grounded me and each day I would come home from school begging to see Jacob. When they refused for about the 50th time I got so mad I ran to my room, packed my favorite outfits, shoes, make-up, and took off to his house. He already had a terrible home-life so his drunk uncle didn't even notice us go in and out of the house.

We took life to the streets. He was a small boy and I was totally against fighting so instead of him getting jumped we did as men would say and sell their drugs, we got half of what the buyer would pay for it. Then we found out the police were on our trail searching for us so we walked further and further each day. When that made us have a much bigger appetite I became a prostitute. The police heard about me and thought Jacob was my pimp. They locked him up and his last words to me were "Keep running. Don't ever go back!"

I did as he said. One year passed by and I was pregnant. I met this guy and his girlfriend, Matt and Malina. We became a little group. She too was pregnant. Matt was great. He helped us. But he was a druggie. Eventually I got hooked on any drug. I took LSD which was a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE mistake. Killed my baby.

While I was in the hospital Malina and Matt left without me. I was all alone. A week passed by and I was still in the hospital. My parents showed up. They took me home and eventually things were back to normal, although the first month or two was hard on all of us. It was akward. But that just goes to show, miracles do happen. I never thought my life would end up actually being worth living for!!

Don't run away, and if you do.. always keep in touch with the ones you love. Also, don't do LSD.. it has been about 15 years since I took LSD and I only did it once. Every once in awhile I get paranoid-attacks... it won't stop till I die. And also, there is no possible way to remove it from my system. May God be with you all.. Thanks for listening......
