Our Forbidden Love

Tw- hinted suicide

I got home.

I entered the house and got met with the awful smell of beer.

I frowned when I saw Dream passed out on the couch with a spilt bottle beside him along with nearly 6 empty ones on the counter. I looked over near the sink and saw a shot glass with a quarter empty bottle of vodka beside it.

I walked over to him and cleaned up the spilt beer and I put the bottles in the garbage bin.

I took out my phone and looked at rehabs near my city.

I was met with a couple results.

I clicked on the first most popular one and went to the bathroom.

The phone rang once and I was immediately met with a friendly sounding lady "Hello."

"Hi. I was just wondering if you guys were taking anybody at the moment? My boyfriends an alcoholic and I really want him to get better."

I heard a few clicks on a computer before she responded.

"Yeah we have a couple openings for tomorrow. How long are you looking for him to stay?"

"About a month or two. He's pretty addicted."

She clicked on her computer a few more times "Yeah, tomorrow you can bring him in at 2. How old is he?"

"He's 18. Is that a problem?" I questioned.

"No not a problem at all. What's his name?"

"Clay Rerman."

She clicked on her computer more "Alright, so tomorrow at 2 you'll be bringing him in?"

"Yeah."

"Okay perfect! I'll see you tomorrow then."

"What will be the price?"

He looked around the bathroom for no reason at all.

"Oh. Um, for one month it'll be about two thousand and for two months it'll be four thousand."

George thought for a second "And he'll be getting food and stuff there correct?"

He saw his bottle of anxiety meds that he had forgotten about. He picked it up slightly and looked inside of it. He'd gotten a new bottle not too long ago but it was almost half empty already.

"Yes yes you do not need to worry. We give out their own rooms and breakfast, lunch and dinner along with a couple snacks throughout the day."

"Can they have their phones?"

He stuffed the bottle in his pocket.

"Yeah, we do try and limit them but we will not be taking away phones."

"Okay that's perfect. I'll be there with him at 2!"

"Okay thank you! I'll see you boys tomorrow!"

I hung up the phone. I hated doing this to him but it was my only choice at this point. He's been a raging alcoholic for the last 5 months and I've honestly given up on him. He's been wasting our money on alcohol.

I walked out of the bathroom and saw Dream standing there looking like he had seen a ghost "You're actually sending me away? And you're leaving me?"

I walked closer to him "I need you to get better before we can continue this. I'm not going to leave you. I'll be staying right here and I'll be waiting until you get back. We aren't breaking up but I need you to be in the right mindset before we do anything more."
