Paige narrating: - My mother thinks I'm a whore, simply because I don't dress properly, but she's right.

I really am, she's the one who made me this way.

Amelia: Where are you going dressed like that, you are a whore!

Paige: Thank you very much mom, that was a compliment to me! Byeee!

Paige's thoughts:

"I still remember when my father abandoned me because he was ashamed of my drug addiction. That painful memory always affects me deeply, even though I try to remain strong and confident".

A lone tear escaped my eyes as I thought about this, mingling with the cigarette smoke.

Madison noticed my change in mood and came closer to me, putting her arm around my shoulders to comfort me.

My friend Harper also joined in the group hug, showing her support for Madison and me. The three of us stayed together, united by the bond of friendship that united us.

As the night went on, my friends and I had more and more fun, dancing nonstop and laughing at inside jokes. Madison suggested that we go to the dance floor, where we could let loose even more.

Harper and I immediately agreed and the three of us joined the crowd, dancing to the loud music. In a moment of relaxation, Madison approached me and said, with a mischievous smile on her lips:

"You look so hot, Paige!"

Harper, who was next to the two, laughed and agreed:

"Madison is right, if I wasn't your friend, I would kiss you, Paige!"

Paige: "You can kiss me whenever you want, hottie!"

The three of us burst out laughing, enjoying the moment of relaxation and complicity between us.

The night was just beginning, and we knew we would have many stories to tell the next day. Together we felt invincible, capable of facing any challenge that life would bring us.

As I danced with my friends and had fun, I felt the memories of my father slowly fade away, replaced by the joy and love that I share with my friends.

I knew that no matter what happened, I could always count on Madison and Harper by my side.

The night was long and full of emotion for Madison and Harper, who enjoyed every moment as if it were the last.

And at the end, we returned home, exhausted and happy, ready to face together all the challenges that life still had in store for us.

I was suddenly alone on the sidewalk in front of my house, looking at the starry sky while smoking a joint.

My friends, Harper and Madison, had left earlier, and I was feeling a little lonely.

But that loneliness soon turned into fascination when the stars began to shine brightly in the sky.

I had always been in love with the universe and all its wonders.

And at that moment, under the influence of the drug, I felt completely connected to everything around me. It was as if the stars were talking to me, whispering secrets of the universe in my ear.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a wave of euphoria take over me. The soft music of the wind in the trees lulled me, while the stars seemed to dance in the sky just for me.

Suddenly, a crazy idea popped into my head. What if I could fly up to the sky and join the stars? I laughed to myself at my own madness, but the idea wouldn’t leave my head.

So, without thinking twice, I got up and started walking towards the horizon. The street was deserted, but I didn't care.

I was determined to reach the stars, no matter what. And so, I kept walking, feeling the energy of the night pulsing around me.

As I moved forward, the world around me seemed to transform.

The houses and trees took on magical shapes, and the air was filled with a sweet, intoxicating scent.

I woke up with a bad hangover and realized that I had slept on the sidewalk of my own house.

My memory of the night before was hazy, but I clearly remembered having sex with a star.

I was still stunned by the idea of using drugs and getting involved in such bizarre situations.

My mother, Amelia, was standing at the door, with a worried expression on her face.

She looked at me with disapproval and disappointment, saying:

- Paige, you are 18 years old and irresponsible!

Her words hit home, because I knew that my recent choices had not been the best.

Revolted, I replied: - Mom, maybe I would be more responsible if I had a Father present.

I left slamming the door, feeling a mixture of anger and sadness.

I knew I was hurting my mother, but I was also tired of being judged for my decisions.

I decided I needed some time for myself, away from all the pressures and expectations.

 I grabbed my backpack and started walking aimlessly through the city streets.

The midday sun was beating down on my face and I could feel the heat of the tears that threatened to fall.

I walked for hours, lost in my thoughts and confused memories of the night before.

 Suddenly, I saw a small park at the end of the street and decided to sit on one of the benches to rest a little.

As I watched people pass by, a young man about my age approached me and offered me some water.

I thanked her and started a conversation, telling him about my situation and how lost I felt.

To my surprise, he told me that he had also been through difficult times and that he found comfort in the stars.

These words resonated with me, and I was touched by him sincerity and compassion.

I decided to open up to he, telling her about the night I had sex with a star and how that experience had changed my perspective.

The young man approached me and started laughing at me, saying I was a funny girl. He introduced himself as Matthew and invited me to smoke a joint with him.

I hesitated at first, but I ended up accepting the invitation, curious to see where this situation would lead me. Matthew took me to his house, a small apartment in the city center.

When we entered, he lit some candles and put on some soft music, creating an intimate atmosphere.

He approached me and began to slowly take off my shirt, revealing my skin, which was covered in goosebumps.

I looked into Matthew's eyes and saw the intensity of desire reflected in them.

He kissed me fervently, his hands roaming every inch of my body. In a moment of overwhelming passion, he laid me down on the bed and began to take off my panties, revealing my intimacy to him.

Matthew also took off his pants and penetrated me deeply, making me moan with pleasure.

He was skilled, moving with mastery and intensity, taking me to an indescribable ecstasy.

Each movement was like a symphony of pleasure, taking me to a state of complete surrender.

He kissed every part of my body with devotion, exploring every nook and cranny with his burning mouth.

Each touch, each caress, was like an explosion of sensations, making me writhe in pleasure.

I couldn't help but sigh his name, begging for more.

The day passed in a frenzy of passion and desire, with Matthew and I am giving ourselves to each other in an intense and ardent way.

It was an experience like no other, a moment of pure connection and pleasure. At dawn, we looked into each other's eyes and smiled, knowing that that night would be etched in our memories forever.

Matthew hugged me tenderly, promising that that would not be the last time we would see each other.

And I knew it was true, after all, what we experienced that day was more than just physical pleasure, it was an adventure of the soul and heart.

Thus, between sighs and caresses, between moans and smiles, I gave myself to Matthew body and soul, knowing that that overwhelming passion was just the beginning of something even greater.

Paige: - As the day turned into night, the tension between us grew.

Our eyes met several times, sparks flying between us.

But in the midst of that overwhelming passion, Matthew took me by surprise by asking me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.

I hesitated for a moment, feeling the weight of the decision hanging over me.

I was young, full of dreams and adventures ahead of me.

I didn't want to tie myself down to anyone so soon, especially someone who had habits I didn't support.

Matthew, I already said no, I said, trying to keep the firmness in my voice.

I'm too young to commit. Besides, I don't want to date someone who smokes weed.

Matthew sighed, looking me in the eyes with an intense expression.

Then he hugged me tightly on the bed, his breath warm against my neck.

- For you, I'll change, my love.

I can quit smoking. I can be who you need me to be.

I felt the weight of his words, the love emanating from every gesture and promise he made.

It was tempting to give in, to succumb to the comforting warmth of his embrace and the promises of a future together.

But something inside me resisted.

I knew I couldn't change who he was, just as he couldn't change who I was.

 I wanted to enjoy life, explore new horizons and discover myself without tying myself down to someone else too soon.

- Matthew, I just want to be free. My only love is my joint, and I can’t give that up for anyone, I said, standing firm in my decision.

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, but also with a quiet understanding.

He knew he couldn’t force me to be something I wasn’t, just as I couldn’t force him to change for me.

Matthew went to his bedroom drawer and took out a gold necklace.

He turned to me and said with emotion:

- Paige, this is for you! I looked at the shiny necklace in his hands and was surprised by the gesture.

- Matthew, this is amazing. It's beautiful, but I can't accept it. This necklace looks very special.

Matthew smiled and looked me in the eyes.

- It belonged to my mother, but now I want you to have it. She passed away, but I know she would be happy to see you wearing it.

I was speechless at Matthew's kindness.

- I'm sorry, I didn't know about your mother. I don't want to keep something so sentimental like that.

Matthew took my hands and looked at me with affection.

- To me, it's as if She's alive, Paige. I'm giving you this necklace because you remind me so much of Her. You are very special to me.

I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to run down my face.

- I don't know what to say, Matthew. Thank you. This is a very beautiful gesture of you.

 He smiled and put the necklace around my neck.

Now you look even more beautiful, if that's possible.

I laughed at the compliment and hugged Matthew tightly.

- You're amazing, you know that?

He looked me in the eyes and whispered:

- I know. And you are the reason for my happiness.

We hugged for a while, enjoying the intimacy of the moment.

Until I let out a nervous laugh and said:

- Are you seriously going to start talking about your mother while we're in bed? This is getting boring, man!

Matthew laughed out loud and touched my face affectionately.

- Sorry, I couldn't resist. But now that we have this special moment, how about we make the most of it?

I smiled and pulled him closer to me. I would love that.

We kissed passionately, forgetting the world outside.

The necklace sparkled around my neck, reminding me of the love and affection Matthew felt for me.

After a while, we separated and lay side by side, catching our breath.

Matthew looked me in the eyes and said softly:

- You are the light of my life, Paige. I don't know what I would do without you.

My heart filled with emotion and gratitude.
