"It was something I've never seen before....the first couple weeks we've stayed in that girl's basement (Rosie) have been extremely tough....we're still trying to let go of old habits....Destiny hasn't talked yet, Waverly and Hangry are at each other's throats....and the attitude we give towards that teenager who took us in....I'm normally supposed to support the idea of tearing her to shreds....but at the same time I don't....I don't know why....and something strange happened a couple nights ago...I ran out of Melatonin  and I couldn't sleep the entire night....to be honest, it's not really out of the norm for me....it only happens when I had a rough day, something upsets me deeply or when I just had a bad day in general....I just laid there staring at the ceiling and checking the clock every now and then....mainly out of paranoia from the stupid shock collar I have....that's when I heard the door open and I thought it was that girl checking on me....but surprisingly....it was Lucky....but he wasn't himself...."

Lucky....? W-woah easy! Are you okay? 

"He was intoxicated....and he immediately ran over to me and I couldn't understand half of what he was saying...."

I-I don't know what you're saying....w-what's wrong....? 

"I could tell he wasn't taking the changes really well either....I honestly feel bad for him....underneath that hard shell of his....he has a soft core....I knew right from the start....I know whenever he's drunk or completely intoxicated to the point he doesn't know what he's doing or saying....he's trying to numb the pain and make it less unbearable....but it doesn't end well for him the next day...."

Easy....easy....I know this is hard....but this is for our own good....besides, it'll be better for us....just relax....okay? I'm right here....

"I honestly didn't care if I didn't sleep at all....all I care about is Lucky's well-being....I know how hard he can be on himself and he takes it out on the others....the day after, he had a really bad hangover and he had no memory of what happened....I told him nothing happened so I don't embarrass him....although....I really do hope that girl....Rosie I think her name was....knows what she's doing....the others aren't so easy to convince at the moment....
