The Only Cure

Episode 12

* LAUREN'S POV *
Giving up everything had to be the most hardest things I've ever done. I know that this buzz isn't going to last long and I'll be craving nicotine all over again. I never wanted to start smoking or drinking but ever since the hate comments started it really got to my head. I couldn't find any good ways to escape how I was feeling inside. That's when I turned to nicotine and alcohol. I feel like I just gave up my entire life to my sisters but I know they want the best for me.
* END OF POV *
Christina: Laur, the first step to quitting was admitting you were wrong which you did and we are so incredibly proud of you for that. Now in order to not give in to temptations your going to have to find something to simulate the motion of your hand to your mouth when you would inhale.
Lexi: Babe, I have a perfect replacement for you!!
Lauren: What is it I ask staring at her magnificent eyes.
Lexi: A straw! It makes a similar noise as if you were inhaling from a vape pen.
Christina: That's a good idea Lexi!
Lauren: I guess I could try doing that.
Christina: Maybe we can even get you some mints or gum to chew on to keep your mouth busy rather than reaching for a vape pen or whatever crosses your mind.

* LAUREN'S POV *
I'm starting to feel this cold sensation up my spine and I can't seem to sit still. I feel the withdrawal already beginning to start and I have no way to escape this time. My palms start to get all sweaty and my body starts to ache. I am sweating excessively
* END OF POV*
Christina: Laur, are you okay hun?
Lexi: Baby, can you hear me or have you gone to another planet I say as I kiss her cheek.
Lauren: Oh, wait, what, I'm sorry, I spaced out, sorry guys I'm not very with it right now. I think I need to lay down. Baby, can you cuddle with me?
Lexi: Awwww I just can't say no to you babe, come here cutie, all I do is think about you these days, do you know that?
Lauren: Nice reference baby, I love you
Lexi: I love you more
Christina: I could already tell that Lauren is going through bad withdrawals, she looks very irritable and can't seem to relax.
Lauren: Chris, I am really not feeling well as of right now, I'm getting and extremely bad urge for nicotine. I feel absolutely miserable I say wiping the tears streaming down my face.
Christina: Would it make you feel better if I sat next to you keeping you comfortable and less irritable. I know it's not easy but you will get through this, we have total confidence in you Lauren.
Lexi: Baby, you can do this my love, your so strong and have been through hell and back I say kissing her. I know exactly how to make you feel better!
Lauren: What is that?
Lexi: Cuddles!
