Jay was very proud of his job, being the top sheriff in their state, he had everything going for him. A good job, good pay, but there was one thing wrong. He has a pretty bad alcohol addiction. His fridge is full of just.. booze. He drinks his pain away. And he knows it’s not exactly a healthy way to cope. But he just can’t stop. It’s the only thing that calms him down.

His coworkers seemed to see it too. And they recommended he go to an AA meeting. It’s not something Jay particularity wanted to do. He didn’t want to admit he was an addict. But, he finally decided to go. And the meeting wasn’t as bad as he thought.

Throughout the weeks he went, he noticed a certain person. It seemed like a teenager. Or a very young adult.. he was the most goddamn attractive person Jays ever seen. He’s found himself just staring at him throughout the meetings. But, the boy never spoke. And he always seemed like he was tired and just didn’t want to be there. Jay wanted to know more about him. And why he of all people was in an AA meeting.

So, here Jay was, sitting in his designated chair, a bored look on his face. The instructor was talking about drinking and driving or something.. something Jay didn’t particularly care about. He was more focused on the boy, who was on his phone. He was in the back of the class.
