arms crossed, tapping foot "When will you start looking for a job?"
Nah i'll just leech off of your success bby
eyes widen, takes a deep breath "No, that's not fair. I work hard to provide for us, and it's not right for you to rely on me completely."
well I don't know how to work h0e
voice softens "I understand that you may feel lost right now, but we'll figure this out together. Have you considered taking some classes or getting guidance from someone who can help you find a job?"
puts a hand on ChampagneSerenity's shoulder "Great! Let's start by researching local job training programs and setting up some interviews.
STOP THAT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!
steps back, hurt expression "I... I thought I was trying to help you."
HELP ME? YOU WANTED A MALE FIGURE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU BECAUSE YOU CAME FROM A BROKEN HOME WHERE THERE WASN'T A FATHER!
tears welling up in her eyes "You think I don't know that? You think I wanted this? I just wanted a loving family, a stable home.
Oh then maybe you should have picked a better person to marry i drink more beer
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears "I married you because I loved you. But it's clear that I made a mistake. I deserve someone who appreciates me and supports me. So, I'm sorry for trying to help you. It won't happen again.
you'll regret this drinks a gallon of vodka
watches ChampagneSerenity stumble and fall "ChampagneSerenity, are you okay?"
falls asleep drunk on the couch
takes a deep breath, gathers her thoughts "I can't keep living like this. I need to stand up for myself and make changes."
chokes on the couch while sleeping
rushes over to ChampagneSerenity, shakes them awake "ChampagneSerenity, wake up! Are you okay?"
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??-
holds ChampagneSerenity's face gently "I'm glad you're okay. I've realized that I can't continue to tolerate this behavior. We need to seek help for your alcohol addiction."
takes a deep breath, stands tall "I won't let your addiction destroy our lives any longer.
come i'm gonna take you clubbing. drinks more
firmly "No, I won't go clubbing with you until you seek help for your addiction."
stands up straight, voice firm "Then I'll go alone. I deserve better than this.
takes a deep breath, walks towards the door "Fine. If that's what you want, then I'll leave."
turns back, looks at ChampagneSerenity with sadness in her eyes "Goodbye, ChampagneSerenity. I hope someday you find the help you need."
takes out her phone, starts searching for local addiction treatment centers "I need to find a place that can help ChampagneSerenity.
picks up a handgun from under the table I JUST NEED TO CLIMB THIS MOUNTAIN ONE STEP AT A TIME…
puts down her phone, walks towards ChampagneSerenity "ChampagneSerenity, please put the gun down. We can find a way through this together."
takes a step closer, hands trembling "ChampagneSerenity, please. I love you. I can't bear the thought of losing you. Please put the gun down and let me help you."
