The Girl Next Door (RDJ FANFIC)

Help me

I can slowly open my eyes, I see Jase he's looking down at me. His eyes are red and puffy and his hair is a mess. I weakly smile at him

"You scared me this time Lex"

"I'm so sorry"

"You left me for drugs?"

"I can't stop J"

"You could have died!"

"I need them"

"I need you more than you need them. I can't keep doing this with you"

"I'll fix myself"

"You need proper help Lex, this has gone to far its almost every day"

"Okay"

I know I needed help, I can't do it alone. Ive become so dependent on alcohol and drugs.

2 weeks later

Jase booked me into a rehab, I've been clean for almost 2 weeks. I finally get out of this place today and finally get to go home. Jase asked Poppy to move out, she was too interested in parties so he knew that she shouldn't be living with us anymore. She didn't take it well. She's been ringing me non stop going on and on about how much of a dick Jase is! But I know he just wants me to be better.

I walk out of the facility and Jase is there waiting for me by the car. I smile and run to him and jump in his arms, he threw his arms around me and spun me around

"God I've missed you"

"Sorry I wasn't allowed to visit you, I have tried too but they wouldn't let me"

"It's fine, hey I'm clean and healthy right now"

"That's how your staying"

"Yes boss! But I totally need a glass of wine!"

"Lexie no!"

"I'm on a drug rehabilitation not alcohol Jase"

"It's all of it"

"No Jase, I've been learning strategies that I can just have a drink I'm fucking 25 I'm not never drinking again"

"Your not drinking like you used to let me tell you"

"Can we just go home?"

"Yeah let's go"

Okay I haven't learned new strategies but being stuck in that prison for 2 weeks I need a drink desperately, just no drugs. I'll be fine.

Later on that evening...

I quickly throw the two empty bottles before Jase comes down the stairs, I'd forgotten how good a buzz was.

"How you feeling?"

"One glass of wine wasn't going to kill me Jase I feel good"

I didn't touch the bottle that we had drink together. So that remains on the counter still half full

"Okay well I've just taken my pill so I'm going to bed, have a good sleep now and I'll see you in the morning"

"Goodnight handsome"

He walks back up the stairs and I grab the other bottle from the fridge and pour myself a large glass..

Once the bottle was empty I grabbed the other two and went out to the back a garden to find a way to hide them.

I close the door of the shed and lean against the door.

"Nice to see your alive" I totally crapped myself! I looked to the left and the hot neighbour was standing by his door

"Hey, yeah I'm all good"

"Storing a body?"

"Hiding wine bottles from my friend"

"Should you be drinking?"

"Should you be bothered?"

"Sorry it's none of my business but I was there when you overdosed. Your friend was terrified"

"I thought I heard a different voice"

"I did come to the hospital but you were sleeping but he told me you were okay"

"Oh! Thanks for checking in. I'm fine I just needed a drink. No drugs just a drink"

"It's a fine line between drink and drugs you know"

"Wow are you an expert or something!"

"I've been there. A few years ago I kicked an addiction that went on since I was a child so I know how hard it is"

"Oh shit sorry I didn't know"

"It's fine"

"Are you alone? Do you want to come over?"

"Sure, Susan is out of town for a few days so it's quite lonely in the big house"

"Come on over, take a seat" he climbs over the wall and comes to sit next to me on the bench.

We talk for ages, it's absolutely freezing but this was the nicest conversation I've had in years. He spoke about his life, his career. The movies he is in. I'll have to give them a go, I've never really been into hero films but maybe now I'll give them a shot.

"You must be freezing" him saying that really made me feel the cold

"I am, but I've been enjoying talking to you"

"Yeah it's been great but I probably should head back"

"Yeah oh my god of course you go, sorry for keeping you so long"

"No I've enjoyed. Don't forget to watch at least one of the movies"

"I'll watch them"

He stands up and puts his arm out for me, I take it and pull my hand up, he looks into my eyes like really looks into them, our hands still touching. I feel my heart racing faster.
Our eyes are locked until he coughs

"Uhghmm yeah I'd better go it was nice talking to you Lexie, see you soon"

"See you later Rob" he jumps back over the wall and I walk back into the house. I fall back on my sofa and think to they way he looked at me, there was spark there wasn't there? Or was it just me? I mean he's married. Fuck sake Lex! No! It's 4am, I should take myself off to bed but am I ? Nope, Disney plus. Iron man 1 and play.
