In 2014, you and price got together. You couldnt of asked for better, he was a motiviating guy, to the point and dead on serious but had a soft spot for you. Making him loveable. A true comfort in your heart.

But in 2015, you went downhill. Hiding secrets, being quiet, not wanting to eat with him or be home, and a night in march confirmed after he had confronted you, that you were doing needles. Pills. But for godsake you'd never tell him the reason.

You hurt him, his heart, your relationship, closeness and his mental health, so much so, after trying and trying, countless arguments, physical altercations, crying, screaming and scared nights, wondering if youd return alive, price decided to split up with you, for the best. But he told you he was there for you over the phone if things got so bad.

That was in 2017.

For the next 3 years you were difficult for yourself. Almost dying 2 times and wrecking your nerves sometimes. It was a horrible, painful cycle, your head in no good space to want to live. One vice keeping you alive and you didnt even want to live that way.

But one day in 2020, your mother passed, august. To dementia. And you were never there to help her, say goodbye or ease her into a carehome your brother ended up taking her too.

After another spiral, and another trip to the hospital, nearly, very nearly dead, you quit. Cold turkey.

No aspiration to, just getting dead sick of wasting your life.

The withdrawals, god, it was hell. You lost appetite, colour in your skin and some weight too. But eventually slowly eased yourself into one or 2 small meals every day.

John hadnt found another lover, and somedays he thought about you. He never knew you got clean . You never posted on your socials or messaged alot. But, something in him wanted to be close with you again,. Give it another go, right? . So, late in the day, he decided to ring your number, and call you. Tell you how he felt and was, and how you were too.

After a while.. "Hello" price spoke.

"Was wonderin how you were, lovley. You still livin alone? Clean yet? " price spoke.

He could just hope you were alright. He wanted to be there for you again and he had high hopes.

He was a serious person, soft inside but one thing he was , was quite the father figure.
