"Im not going to take them" she said to her self and walk out the bathroom.

She sat in front of the telly feeling glad that Carter sorted her out. She really wanted to kiss him but she knew it wouldn't be right. The only thing now on her mind was just the secret that no one knew. She really wanted to stop the habit but she couldn't and if she told anyone then she would be straight to a shrink.

Her eyes felt heavy abd before she knew it she was a sleep.
