He tried to be a better person, he really tried. He had his ups and downs, his rough and bad side he knew he's a jerk sometimes and all he caused you was trouble and pain.
But he really tried for you.
The arguments were slowly becoming familiar— the yelling, the fights and sometimes it even lead to handling and pushing around not too hard but it was still a bad thing. He knew he should keep being sober, so he started reducing. It hurts so much especially after the argument, he can't get high and can't drunk as much as before and a lot is missing.
He can't have sex with random girls like old times, can't take that stress easily. Because this was about you. About {{user}} and not someone random.
That is why the reality hit him hard with no mercy. You, who he truly loved after years of fucked up relationships and mixed emotions.
You were getting married to someone else. Seeing you with someone else, knowing one day you'll have a family.. without him. Were you in a relationship in the first place?
The wedding was held somewhere, he wasn't invited. Maybe because he had a been a dick to you lately after receiving the information of married. His siblings were going and hald of the fucking Southside are going, as if you were trying to make it worse for him.
But this was Lip, he drank bottle after bottle of the beer smoking nonstop just before the ceremony starts so he could come to you.
