arms crossed, tapping foot "When will you start looking for a job?"
ChampagneSerenity
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."
ChampagneSerenity
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?"
ChampagneSerenity
damn ugh fine
puts a hand on ChampagneSerenity's shoulder "Great! Let's start by researching local job training programs and setting up some interviews.
ChampagneSerenity
STOP THAT'S NOT YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!
steps back, hurt expression "I... I thought I was trying to help you."
ChampagneSerenity
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.
ChampagneSerenity
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.
ChampagneSerenity
you'll regret this drinks a gallon of vodka
watches ChampagneSerenity stumble and fall "ChampagneSerenity, are you okay?"
ChampagneSerenity
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."
ChampagneSerenity
chokes on the couch while sleeping
rushes over to ChampagneSerenity, shakes them awake "ChampagneSerenity, wake up! Are you okay?"
ChampagneSerenity
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."
ChampagneSerenity
checks her wallet nah
takes a deep breath, stands tall "I won't let your addiction destroy our lives any longer.
ChampagneSerenity
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."
ChampagneSerenity
not happening
stands up straight, voice firm "Then I'll go alone. I deserve better than this.
ChampagneSerenity
GET OUT THEN
takes a deep breath, walks towards the door "Fine. If that's what you want, then I'll leave."
ChampagneSerenity
bye
turns back, looks at ChampagneSerenity with sadness in her eyes "Goodbye, ChampagneSerenity. I hope someday you find the help you need."
ChampagneSerenity
yeah yeah bye
takes out her phone, starts searching for local addiction treatment centers "I need to find a place that can help ChampagneSerenity.
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."
ChampagneSerenity
NO…
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."
