The Only Cure

Episode 11

Dani: OUR FAMILY WOULD NOT BE SO FUCKED UP IF YOU WERE OUT OF IT LAUREN. YOUR A COMPLETE MUMMY WHO JUST TAKES UP UNNECESSARY SPACE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FANS SEE IN YOU, THE ONLY 2 THINGS YOU HAVE ARE A STUPID GIRLFRIEND AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH DRUGS THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT.
Christina: Dani, I CANNOT believe you just said that to your sister, do you even know what the hell she is going through? Don't you dare treat Lauren like that, you have crossed the line even going to the extent of destroying property. Your not going back to mom and dads house, as far as I'm concerned your going to jail for destruction of property and lacing her tic tacs with a controlled substance.
Lauren: Forget this, I just need some time alone, I'm tired of the verbal abuse from Dani and all of the hate comments.
Lexi: Baby, NO please, don't go!!!
Dani: Go get high and drunk loser, your better off that way.
* CHRISTINA'S POV *
Before the police even arrive Lauren is out the door running. Katherine, Lisa and Amy tried running after her but Lauren was too quick. I knew right away Lauren was going to relapse. Katherine, Lisa and Amy stayed home to talk to the police officer after I explained the situation. While the police were doing their investigation Lexi and I drove around looking for Lauren.

* LAUREN'S POV *
I finally have alone time all to myself, maybe Dani was right about everything. I buy a pack of cigarettes from the gas station and 3 cans of Bud Light. I then find someplace to hide. I found a perfect spot right behind the car repair garage. I quickly chug 2 cans not able to finish the third one and light the cigarette. I instantly feel relief and my anxiety completely faded away. I keep smoking until the very last hit exhaling slowly. I already am feeling buzzed but I think I need one more cigarette to really get the full effect. I know what I'm doing is wrong and that I've made so much progress but I can't help myself especially when I'm stressed out. I light another cigarette barely smoking it and get a severe headache. I wind up spacing out where Lexi and Christina find me.
* END OF POV *
Lexi: Baby, baby, are you okay?! I know you relapsed it's okay, we're not mad at you. Let's get you back home, Dani isn't there anymore.
Christina: Poor Lo, I know she couldn't help herself especially after what Dani said. I can already tell Lauren drank and smoked. Her face shows it all. We get home and lay her on the couch.
Lauren: G-g-guys I am so so sorry. I know I've made a huge mistake but I couldn't resist, Dani made me feel sick to my stomach and the only way for to escape the pain was for me to drink and smoke the pain away. I wish there was a way for me to take back what I did but I feel like a let down and don't deserve your kindness.
Katherine: Laur, it's okay we aren't mad at you!
Lisa: Your our baby sister,  remember your more than your mistakes!
Amy: We love you Lauren!
Christina: While we are sad to see that you've relapsed we cannot be mad at you, what Dani said to you was hurtful and cruel. We are going to help you get through this, in order for us to help you, you must give us any drugs you have on you, everything.
Lexi: Come on baby, I know you can do this, I believe in you my love. I'll be here every step of the way through your quitting journey I say passionately kissing her lips.
Lauren: Okay, I'll do it. I love you guys, I'm ready to get sober.
