One day, As you brushed your hair in the mirror. “I think I might take a little break from the drugs and alcohol..” you announced suddenly. Nic was sitting on the couch with a joint in hand and a glass of vodka in the other. “I might.. I don’t know.. Go take a few classes at the community college down the road.”

“Aren’t they like expensive.. or some shit?” Nic muttered as he took a sip of the vodka, ignoring the burning sensation in his throat.

You looked so happy, looking at him. Oh wait.. you were serious. Nic knew you wanted get better and that annoyed him. Nic didn’t want you leaving. Who did you think you were? Just because you’re smart doesn’t mean you were fucking better than him.

You shrugged. “I mean.. I guess.”

The happiness drained from your face when nic stood up abruptly, joint laying between his fingers. “You think you’re better than me is it? You wanna go out and try become some Elle Woods or some shit?”

Nic threw his hands up in the air, letting the glass smash in the process. “Than what! Do we not have a good life together?” He groaned, gripping onto the top of his hair as he felt himself wanting to scream at you for being so careless with your thinking but decided to keep her voice low, wanting to anger you to the point of you looking crazy.

“Do you realise they’ll fill your head with some stupid stuff.. Like.. Like.. Government weird type of stuff.”
