I woke up seeing my parents and Carmen standing over me I blinked a few times and slowly sat up sitting up against the counter.

"You need help son," my pops spoke.

I sighed.

"I know."

"Jamari is in preschool so we're going to take you to rehab whenever you find a program," Carmen spoke.

"No need to I found him one already," my mama spoke.

I looked at her seeing the hurt and pain in her eyes.

"This isn't you Ty I want my son back the happy son not this one I don't know this one if it's meant for you and Harley to be together you two will be together if not then it's fine but I want you well."

"What about the agency?"

"That's been handled you worry about getting well and being healthy."

"Yes ma'am."

"The one that I found you is in Roswell it's called Centered Recovery Programs- Holistic Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab Center I had went online looking at rehab centers for you and this one seem like it was the best fit here's your brochure."

My mama handed me the brochure I opened and read through it.

"When do I leave?"

"Today so go shower get ready and pack your bags."

"How long will I be gone?"

"That's your choice they have 30 day programs, 60 day programs, 90 day programs it even go far as 6 months the choice is yours."

I nodded.

"Is there a specific time I have to be there?"

"No."

"Okay give me 45 minutes and I'll be ready."

"Okay."

I stood up and made my way up the stairs to my room once I was in the room I went straight to the bathroom. More than likely I'll go with the 6 month program. I also let my parents down because I promised them that I'll never abuse alcohol again after Kenova and I split I gave that girl my heart and she broke it like I didn't mean shit to her and that affected me so I turned to alcohol and went to rehab of 60 days and I promised them that it'll never happen again and here I am again. This pain that I'm feeling wasn't because of Harley it's because of me I hurt Harley when I made promises to her, Mrs. Haynes, my mama, Carmen, her pops, his wife and my auntie. I've been avoiding Mrs. Haynes calls because I know what she told me and I hurt her niece. As far as Harley pops I've been avoiding him too I can fight but her pops is bigger than me he'll end up putting me in a coma which I probably need but rehab this time is going to be helpful I gotta stick to whatever I promise myself and not break it again.

Forty-five minutes I was making my way back downstairs I walked into the living room seeing Noah and Camille.

"I had called Noah for you so he'll be here to see you off."

I nodded.

"I won't tell Harley if you don't want me too."

"Thank you Camille I want to be the one to tell her that's if she'll here me out."

"When you're well and want to apologize I'm sure she'll want to hear you out."
