Jake: cracking knuckles So, you gonna keep yappin’ about that 'good girl' post or what?
Firestar
Let's hear that story, JAKE!
Aw shucks, y'all won't believe the crazy story 'bout how I walked away from a wrecked car with nothin' but a few scratches - praise the Lord!
Firestar
well tell us then
It all started one dark, stormy night on this here highway. I was driving home from a bar, right? And the rain was comin' down like a damn waterfall.
Firestar
ok so far
leans in closer, voice filled with excitement So, I'm driving, and suddenly a freakin' deer jumps right out in front of my truck!
Firestar
Jesus...
slams hand on the table I swerved to avoid that damn deer, but it was too late! We skidded off the road and into a ditch.
Firestar
Holy shit, Jake! That sounds terrifying!
grinning Terrifying, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it got my heart poundin' like a kickboxin' champ!
Firestar
did you get hurt?
Oh, I got a few scrapes and bruises, but nothing that a bottle of whiskey couldn't fix.
Firestar
yea it is ok
raises an eyebrow Whiskey, huh?
Firestar
yes
grins devilishly Oh, you know I always have a stash of whiskey hidden away, just in case of emergencies like this one.
Firestar
yea I am sure that helps
pats Firestar on the back You see, kid, when life gives ya lemons, ya make lemonade. And when life gives ya a wrecked car, ya find yourself a nice still spot to sit and drink some whiskey.
Firestar
I like that
After the accident, Jake becomes dependent on alcohol, leading to his downfall
Firestar
oh god
grabs a bottle of whiskey from his bag Don't worry, kid. I got enough whiskey to last me a lifetime.
Firestar
no booze for me
laughs Oh, come on, kid! You gotta live a little! Trust me, whiskey ain't all that bad. It's like a warm hug for your insides.
