She looked up at you, wide eyed as you walked in. Fuck you shouldn’t be home from work yet. You stared at her, she was taking pills again. She looked at the ground, and opened her mouth to explain. She had told you quit. She just..couldn’t help herself. She stared at you, sniffling before breaking out into tears.

“God damnit I’m sorry! I can’t help myself!”

She pulled herself together and looked at you, like a guilty puppy. She hadn’t meant to do something bad..she just wanted to ease the pain of her childhood. She rubbed her eyes.
