“I don’t know. Confront her? Walk away? Everything is coming apart and I’m just … tired.” “Hey, brother,” Derrick said, patting my shoulder strangely. “You’ve been through worse. She’ll come around. You might try talking to her when you are sober next. Let’s see what Kael’s angle is, we can get further into him, right? You’re not alone in this.” I heard his voice drift as sleep swept over me, the bourbon dragging me under. With a sigh and my eyes closed I let the bottle fall to the floor. We slipped as we fell asleep blowing away words.

"She..." "She doesn't need to see you like this," I said, cutting him off. "And neither does Declan. You walked away. If you want to be a part of their lives, you will get help. You will get sober, and you will get help!"

Bella's POV: "Grief. That's what my life has turned into," I said, my voice a soft tremor echoing my inner turmoil. "I went from being a depressed teenage dirtbag who experimented with every single drug she could find at 14. Then I got myself into a rehab where I met a little girl who became my best friend. I got better for her, so she would know she could leave and not die in there like others. She managed to get out, but then she passed away a year and a half ago. The girl I got better for, the reason I fought so hard, passed away. They say you should get better for yourself, but what good is it if you have no one to celebrate your progress with? I mean, I should be proud of myself, and I

“Ember. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I wasn’t the father you deserved. I’m sorry I let you down. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to protect you from your mother, from Gale, from all of it.” He takes another step toward me, and this time I don’t back away. “I’m sober now,” he says, and there’s a desperate hope in his voice that makes my chest ache. “Two months. I know that doesn’t sound like much after everything, but it’s the longest I’ve gone without a drink since you were born. I go to meetings every day. I have a sponsor. I’m trying, Ember. I’m really trying to be better.” “Why now?” I ask. “Why after all these years?”

She explained nonchalantly. By the way, has Alicia called you? She asked "No, she hasn't" He replied. "No wonder you are this cranky" she mumbled quietly. "You said what?" He asked not hearing her clearly. "It's nothing, I was talking to myself. Don’t worry she will call you before the day ends and if she doesn't, you have to man up and call her. Being drunk is not a crime, you didn't kill anyone. I will call you when I get home, I am driving" She said about to shut down the mind-link.

Damian Pov One year changed everything. Nathan turned six in October and I celebrated my first full year of sobriety in November. Twelve months without drinking. Twelve months of therapy three times a week. Twelve months of support group meetings every Tuesday. Twelve months of actually doing the work instead of just talking about it.

Now you're shrugging physically or in your head because you don't give a fuck anymore and I'm beginning to disturb you a lot and make you uncomfortable so you're acting like you don't care. I haven't done any of those in a while though, specifically since my birthday. I've been completely sober since the day of my last birthday; the day I met River. I was even thinking of stopping because we're all aware of what happened the last time I overdosed; I got really high and had a one nightstand that may or may not have led to two deaths. I met some amazing people on the way though.

He was anxious for answers. "Uh, well for over a year and a half after you kicked me out, I was stuck. I was weak. A user can't get clean unless they truly want to. I didn't want to. I was terrified of the withdrawals. They were hell, man… you can't understand the hell of dope sickness until you've lived it.

“In other words, I'm not running away from my parents and I'm not really hiding from anyone. At the moment, my residence in New York City is not a safe place for me. —Why ?— Justin quickly looked away, as he usually does when trying to get away from something. He took a deep breath and looked at the wall for a moment before continuing. To further reassure her, I grabbed her knee even more. There's no need to worry about that, Justin. Due to the fact that I have been sober for some time. Justin said he couldn't hear her because her voice was so weak, but I clearly heard her message. "I've been clean and sober for about a hundred days." “Justin, you've outdone yourself. Something to be proud o

I'd been in bed the whole day just crying and sulking but now I needed to pick myself up again. I can't cry about it forever. After going through my contact list last night, my drunk brain had decided to call the last person sober me would've thought of.
