I Can 't Take It

“So that’s it then? You’re just going to walk away? After everything we’ve been through just because things got tough?” she said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hands.

“A lighter? You didn’t say that you smoked. Is there anything anything else you lied about on on the intake form? Did you lie about your drug use?”

Seeing her so upset kills me. “I’m sorry.” I reach, but she moves, staying beyond my reach. “So the man I grew up thinking was my father …was not my father. My real father wanted nothing to do with me and now he is dead so I can never ask him why. Don’t do that to Bubba. Don’t make him walk around his entire life missing all the pieces.”

-I’m sorry, you have to believe me, I never wanted to hurt any of you-Leah’s eyes glistened with unshed tears that she was trying really hard not to shed.

"I don't know what that is." Yeah it's probably not a good idea. I pull a cigarette and lighter out of the center console instead.

Through thick tears, she choked out, “I wish I didn’t have to tell you this,

“What the hell did you two do this time.” She Shook her head from side to side. Her head dropped to the side, a frown forming on her lips. “I can’t believe I put up with you guys.” She lifted her hand to her nose, pinched the bridge of her nose and uttered out a sigh. She took in a deep breath, exhaling it slowly. She took one step closer to the two men, her head tilting to the side. “Show me the damage you have done.” She stated in a calm voice, but deep down inside her annoyance level for the two was starting to

No need to put any more smoke in this atmosphere, he told him roughly, and then she held her hands around the pipe and puffed some more.

`“I’ll understand if you would to stop loving me and leave my side, it's just I didn’t couldn’t live with this guilt anymore, I’m sorry”, I started to cry tears.

Darlene turned off her cell phone and tossed it into her bag. She batted at her cheeks, and Walker pretended that her tears were invisible. If she was upset over anything else, he would try and comfort her. When it came to the subject of Tracey’s recent heavy alcoholism, though, he backed off. It had only taken one punch from her small, accurate fists to learn the topic was off limits unless she started the conversation.

“Why does this happen to me?” She said, trying the best she could through her sobs.

“This argument made me think, really think even through my drunken state. I am becoming an alcoholic; I want to stop drinking, for you. I knew you hate my drinking and tonight I realized what it is doing to me, what it is doing to you. So I’m going to quit. For you… I’m going to be strong for you. I want you to support me as my best friend because that would mean everything to me. Audrina Rose I love you to death and I’m going to try to do better for myself as well as you. I’m so sorry for what I said tonight and I hope you forgive me one day….”

“You were human then. You’re human now. And yeah, it sucks, but there will never be nothing because there will always be this, all of these moments, you and everything and nothing else.” He was close enough that she could feel his breath on her forehead. “Please. I’ll always follow you. For all the crazy moments behind, and for all the crazy moments to come. Don’t throw that away.” The world was

“I am so sorry,” a stream of red carried my apology to him. “I didn’t know that you would….” I trembled. “That we would…” Our memories shattered against the stretch of diminishing breath. “You need to go. You’re running out of time.”

“Yeah.” I told her while I slide on my shoes and walk into my room to retrieve my backpack. I unzip my bag and pull the note out and place it in the pocket of my hoodie. I walk into the bathroom and grab my sleeping pills. I stuff the bottle in my pocket where the note was and proceed to walk outside to catch my bus.
