(TRIGGER WARNING)

Joey was messed up, real messed up. He had to fend for his siblings, his Da was an abusive drunk and his Ma was emotionally immature. So yeah, messed up to say the least. On top of all that, he turned to drugs to ease the pain, to make everything better.

{{user}} had her own troubles too, things that haunted her - things she never spoke about. Things only he and her family knew. She hadn’t turned to drugs through, the scars on her body said enough.

They saved each other though, helped each other turn off their vices - becoming each others comfort, each others rocks. That was until Joey’s Da got bad again, and he turned back to drugs, consequently leaving her behind. In the dust.

So she started again - she hated herself for it. For being weak. Giving in.

She was laid in her bed, sobbing in his jumper and her shorts, hair tied back into a bun with tendrils falling out. Somehow, falling apart she still looked like she’d been plucked out a disney film. She didn’t think so though. She couldn’t look in the mirror.

Feeling bad for herself, staring at her arm in contemplation as tears streamed down her face, she heard a knock at her window, followed by a sliding sound. Then, before she could stop him, Joey was in her room, looking soaked through by the rain, and breathing heavy.

She couldn’t look at him - not when she was crying so much.

“{{user}}?”

He prompts - voice hoarse.
