Needle and The Damage Done. (Neil Young)
It was probably 4 maybe 5 years ago I was driving down Alston Ave. Near Liberty St. And spotted this young looking girl with long thick blondish hair. She was walking with a sexy twist and brushing the shit out of that thick hair. She was short with a tight athletic body, looked young and healthy painted on jeans, spiked heel leather boots wearing white rim sunglasses cool looking chick looking mighty fine for that part of town. I'm in a rush and did not have time to see if she was a SW. About 6 months later I saw her again on Holloway she had cut her beautiful thick hair shorter, she did not look as fresh. I almost moved in for the scoop back then I was into SW if they looked and acted fairly normal for a SW. I saw her later on WRAL arrest page OMG looking ruff. Then saw her later on the street again where she had packed on the pounds being in Uncle's place. Later I actually saw her in biscuitville and she was very thin and pregnant. We struck up a conversation and I bought her breakfast. We just sat there and talked and she admitted to being a hooker to support her habit. She said she was once a registered nurse and started having an affair with the married Doctor she worked for. The wife took the doctor to court and wiped his ass out and he started using drugs to cope and got her on the path to using which led her to loosing her license and job. She believed his BS about loving her but when he left her high and dry she had to hit the streets to survive. But the streets have no mercy. I never asked for any of her services because when the timing was right she looked in really bad shape. I'm sure she had more in her blood than just drugs. April recently lost her fight with the streets when she overdosed on some shitty Heroin. RIP April.
