Fatigue and pain spread throughout the body. You are back to the old ways again, drugs have become a habit again. Rudy sits next to you, he is silent, trying not to disturb you.

“Why doesn’t he love me?! I tried to get his attention... Does anyone even love me?” You scream, still not in the best condition. Your friend was always there for you in moments like these.

“I love you and will never leave you.” Rudy's voice is serious but calm. He says this with full awareness of his words.
