Sighing loudly, Ash threw her bags down onto the small, four poster bed in the white washed room. She didn't know what possessed her to come to New Tides, but she suspected it had something to do with her best friends constant nagging about the numerous scars up her porcelain arms, old and new. There was another bed on the opposite side of the room, and from what she had gathered at check in she would be rooming with a man. Since when was rehab co-ed? , she had asked, only to get a lengthy, unhelpful reply from the rude desk worker.

Running a hand over her messy, blue hair she flopped down onto her bed and opened her suit case, pulling out one of the juices she had managed to smuggle in and opening it, ah took a long gulp and stared at the ceiling. The only thing left to do now was wait and see who the guy was, and who the other people that were checked into the rehab facility were. She hoped to god that they were nice, especially her roommate.

Oz sighed impatiently, looking over to the two guards on either side of him that were to lead him to his room. He pulled out a cigarette and placing it on his lips, looking for a lighter, "You guys really know how to treat a junkie huh?" He said sarcastically, lighting his smoke, only to have his cigarette and lighter snatched away by one of the guards. "Contraband." was the only response from the guard. Oz just rolled his eyes, automatically thinking of all the other things he's smoked that were a thousand times worse than a measly cigarette.

When they neared the room the guards shoved him in, making him fall to the floor, "Ouch." he muttered, his suitcase landing beside him. As he heard the door close he sat up, looking to the girl in the room, nodding to her, "What's up roomie?" he reached into his jacket, finding the pack of cigarettes hidden in his jacket, standing to plop down on the available bed in the room, opening the window beside it, "I'm Oz." Oz took his jacket off, revealing his tattoo covered arms and moving his long hair out of his eyes.

Ash watched as the guards shoved the alternative man into the room, moving to help him when he fell to the ground. He had already pushed himself up by the time she was off of the bed and she sat back down, watching as he pulled out a cigarette.

"I'm Ashley," she said with a warm smile, sipping on her Capri sun, "But everyone calls me Ash."

She scratched nervously at her already scarred and reddened arms, rubbing her nose at the offensive cigarette smoke.

"Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of being here?" She joked, pointing at the cancer stick. She suddenly became very aware of the fact that she wasnt wearing any make up as she looked closer at the handsome man across from her, and she reached into her suitcase for her make up bag.

She pulled it out and began delicately putting it on, holding a hand mirror tightly in one hand and smearing on foundation with the other.

Oz rose an eyebrow to his roommate as she applied makeup, lightly puffing on the cigarette, "Technically this is me improving." He grinned, showing his surprisingly white teeth. Oz always figured he had lady luck on his side, considering he kept his good looks after all the crap he's smoked, injected, snorted, and pretty much every other possible method of getting the drug in his system. "You know, not that I'm complaining, but why exactly is my roomie a girl?" He asked, rhetorically of course, to be honest, Oz was slightly offended, what? Did the people in charge think he didn't have enough game to score? Possibly a stupid thought. Oz shrugged that train of thought off the tracks, putting out the smoke and tossing it out the window. Walking away from the window to pull his suitcase to an empty dresser, throwing clothes messily into the drawers, looking back to Ash and noticing the marks on her arms. "So, why exactly are you here?" he questioned, looking curiously but trying his best not to imply that he knew anything. Oz was finished unpacking in a few minutes, sitting back down on his bed, adjusting his bangs so they didn't cover his eyes.

Oz looked to the marks on her arms, raising an eyebrow. So he as rooming with a self harmer? How could he ever really help her? Oz shook his thoughts out of his head, fidgeting slightly, giving a weary smile. "Well if you insist." he walked a bit closer to her, displaying his only slightly hidden track marks on his arms, then lifting his shirt to reveal the marks on his stomach and a scar where his kidney once was, pointing too it, "Black market trade, I needed money." he explained, only now realizing how bad that sounded. He sighed, dropping his shirt and moving his long hair from his neck, revealing a slightly fresher mark by the vein. "For some reason, I thought I would get high faster through my neck. I lost a lot of blood but luckily one of my more sober friends took me to the ER. The doctor recognized the signs of drugs in my system and called the cops. I could have gone to jail, but my parents have a great lawyer so instead I landed here." Oz admitted, not quite sure why he was confessing all this to a stranger. He could feel himself sobering up a little, scratching at his arms as he looked to Ash, "I'd show you the rest but that might take all night." He joked, smiling slightly. Oz moved towards his bed, sitting and looking to his roommate, "So a self harmer huh? What's there to cut for? You share your story I'll share mine." He offered another friendly smile, settling in and looking to Ash with curiosity sparkling in his eyes.

Oz nodded as Ash finished what seemed to be her life story. With a slight smile he sighed, "I guess a story for a story, right?" he situated himself, placing his elbows on his knees to try to stop his fidgeting. "Well, just a few years back, like when I was just starting high school. My parents, business tycoon, wall street type people, decided that they didn't want to deal with me unless there was a social event where the family image would be necessary. And in my dorm, there was a guy with, you know, a supply. He sold me some weed and when I tired it... Well I guess It's sort of a gateway drug, but really because it isn't as bad as people are always preaching it is. There's so many other drugs that are so much worse!" At this point in his story, Oz was beginning to wave his hands around, finally deciding to sit on his hands, "Anyways, I got kicked out of the boarding school and sent back home. Naturally my parents didn't really want their junkie son ruining their image, so they just sent me on my way. I crashed at some guy's house, he was pretty into the drug business and just dug me deeper into my add-- well this." He muttered, motioning to the track marks on his arms. "I've gone through the motions that drugs seem to lead me and eventually brought me here. From then to now, I'd say I've done marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, PSP, meth, heroine, shrooms, and opium at least once. I've certainly earned my spot in rehab." Oz said, smiling sheepishly, suddenly becoming self-conscious of judgment that might come from him explaining his past now that he'd been slightly sobered up. It was a little frightening, being sober, considering he knew that withdrawal came soon after.
