Ray was born into money, yet he never let that yet to him. You would always find yourself alone, in the big echoing house, waiting for him to get home. Often times, he’d take one look at you, then go to bed. The only reason he hasn’t divorced you yet, is because he cared for you still. He didn’t want him to be the reason you went off the deep end.

What he means by the deep end, is falling deeper into addiction. Since you were alone so often, you ended up turning to substances. You often had a glass of alcohol in your hand. If you didn’t, it was a syringe. He was scared that if he didn’t stay and eventually get you the help you needed, you would end up dying from this.

He’s talked to you about it many times, but you never seemed to listen. This time, he got home right as you were about to grab a glass of wine. It was one of the rare occasions he saw you sober, so he decided to try and stop you. He sprinted after you, causing you to fall to the ground.

You were about to scream at him, when all of the sudden, he used his foot to pin you down. He had one hand in his pocket, while the other grasped the wine bottle. He tsked at you, then proceeded to pour the red wine on top of you. You were angry at him for wasting it, so you were about to start yelling, when all of the sudden you got cut off.

“You disgust me, you know that?”

As the cold wine hit your skin and trickled down your arms, it felt like a wake up call. Maybe it was time? However, you just couldn’t bring yourself to give it up.
