“You just what?” Danny rocked on his heels a bit, head cocked.

He shrugged a little. "I don't know…" He rubbed his eyes, taking a shaky breath.

“..Alright. I think I’ve said this before, but I’ll do it again. Just take care of yourself, okay?” Danny frowned, running his fingers through his hair.

He nodded a little. "I'm s-sorry for bothering you…" he said softly, looking down at his hands and sniffling a little bit.

“Not botherin’ me, so don’t sweat it.” Danny stated simply, patting Alex’s shoulder. “Do you need water or anything?”

(not gonna be super active tonight, sorry)

Alex bit his lip, and shrugged helplessly. "I don't know…" He whispered. Nearly three years clean, gone in one night.

(not a problem!)

“I mean, you’ve been cryin’ a lot, you gotta be some kinda dehydrated, right?” Danny frowned, his head cocked.

Alex looked down at the mattress. "I'm not that thirsty." He replied softly. He couldn't help that he was crying. He couldn't help it.

“Alright, man. Just tell me if you need anything, yeah?” Danny stood, rocking on his heels.

He nodded. "I fucked up." He said again, voice quiet. "My dad is dying, and I just ruined…I…I was clean for years and now I've destroyed it all, and…"

Danny was taken by surprise at Alex’s statement, for sure. “Wait, did you fucking use? Alex..” He covered his mouth with a hand, unsure of how to respond.

He nodded a little bit. "M-most of it's worn off by n-now…" He shrugged his shoulders slightly, curling in on himself protectively.

Danny looked at Alex, all curled in on himself. “Shit, man. God, I’m sorry. Fuck. Same shit?”

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah…" He closed his eyes, rubbing at them with a hand and trying not to cry again.

“Fuck, that’s heavy.” Danny sighed, moving to sit on the edge of Alex’s bed. “How are you feeling?”

"Like shit." Alex said softly, swallowing hard and trembling as he tried not to cry.

“..Yeah, I figured. Do you think you can sit up?” Danny looked Alex over again, trying to decipher the best course of action in this situation.

Alex sat up, wrapping the blankets tightly around his body. He sniffled softly.

“..Alright. I don’t know a lot about this, I’ll be honest— so what can I do to help? Can I even do anything?”

He nodded a little. "There…isn't really anything you can do." he said softly, looking down at his hands, unable to meet Danny's eyes.

“That’s what I was scared of, fuck.” Danny sighed, gnashing his jagged teeth in frustration.

"Sorry." Alex whispered, covering his face with a hand and sniffling slightly.

“No, man, Alex, don’t apologize to me. I’m sorry I can’t help, brother.” Danny pushed his hair back, away from his forehead.

He shrugged his shoulders slightly, tugging the blankets close around his body. "I pr-probably woke you, though…and…and there isn't even a r-reason, I-I just…"

“You know? You did. But that’s fine, I really don’t care. I’m glad you called me, I don’t think you should really be by yourself right now.”
