The Only Cure

Episode 50

Lexi: Eww baby you stink like a cigarette, the cigarette is practically almost gone and your still puffing on that cigarette bud. You do look really hot when you are smoking though, you seem a lot calmer now, that cigarette really helped you feel better huh? You look so relieved.
Lauren: I am a lot calmer, this had to be the best cigarette I've had in a long time, I know I smell babe, I'm sure my breath smells like cigarettes too, I know you can't stand the stench.
Lexi: Aww baby come here and give me a kiss, you might stink but I love you so much!
Michael: Hey Laur! I see your hanging out with your girl, I had a feeling you came outside to smoke and I thought we could have a little smoke sesh together? I brought you a cigar, cmon sis let's light 'em up.
Lexi: Baby, imma head inside, I'm getting eaten up alive from these mosquitoes. Come in when your done my love
Lauren: Okay love you babe

*Lauren's POV:*
I light up the cigar taking a long drag, mhmm, I love the feeling of the chemicals entering my lungs.

* END OF POV *
Lauren: Thanks for the cigar bro, it was something really different, well imma go sober up now, don't want to get into the habit again.
Lexi: Baby you are back! Listen my love, can you please please please quit smoking now? It's not healthy, I let you slide once but now your getting carried away.
Lauren: NO I'M NOT BABE, YOU TAKE THAT BACK, JUST BECAUSE I SMOKED A LITTLE BIT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS BECOMING A HABIT AGAIN!!! STOP TRYING TO IRRITATE ME, YOU ARE PISSING ME OFF, DON'T EVER TELL ME WHAT TO DO...
Lexi: Okay baby, if that's how you feel after everything I've done for you, how could you be so mean to me. Don't even say a word, I'm just gonna go cry in our room, I hope your happy with your decision.
*Lexi's POV*
I walk in to Lauren and I's room where I start bawling my eyes out whispering to myself where I possibly could have done wrong. I can't believe the girl I love with all my heart would treat me like this.
*END OF POV*
Christina: Lex, are you okay? What's wrong baby girl? You can talk to me
Lexi: It's Lauren, she got mad at me. I let her slide and have a cigarette. All of a sudden y'all's older brother Michael came over to smoke a cigar with Lauren and then he left. Lauren came back inside where she yelled at me. All I wanted her to do was to stop smoking and she completely went into a fit of rage. I'm so upset Chris, I just want my girl back.
Christina: Shhhh hun, it's okay, how about I go talk to her and give her some of my older sister advice.
Lauren: mmmhmm, second cigarette of the day. our phone calls got shorter, and the nights they got longer...
Christina: Lauren!! Put that cigarette out right now please, give me that! Look at yourself honey!! This isn't like you!
Lauren: One more drag, it's so good, I feel so so buzzed, calm down Chrissy, I will put it out.
Christina: Ough ough, that stench is fowl. Yuck! Listen, you shouldn't have gotten mad at Lexi. She is the love of your life and just wants the best for you, how could you push her away like that? Look at yourself Lauren, you are losing it! We are gonna work this out right after you freshen up.
Lauren: Ugh fine, I will freshen up not that I want to but I will if it stops you from complaining.
Christina: Lauren, give me that pack of cigarettes, you are not getting these back ever again, let go of them.
Lauren: FINE, here you go!! Are you happy now?! I can't even begin to tell you how upset I am.
Christina: Hold on, what's in your bra? Give me that, Lauren... you have pills in your possession too?! What is wrong baby girl?! This isn't even like you
Lauren: Chris, listen... I didn't expect to relapse this bad, if you want me to go to rehab, I won't bother anyone again, I know I am a huge disappointment. I let everyone down constantly.
Lexi: Aww baby, no, you don't have to go to rehab but we do need to help you. I love you more than anything in the entire world, I'm here for you baby and I always will be. I want you to be healthy!
Christina: Laur we will be here every step of the way, you are worth it and always will be!!!
Lauren: Babe, I'm so sorry, I've made so many mistakes and always seem to let y'all down. To be quite honest, I have a serious problem, I am an addict, I can't deny it. I need to stop smoking cigarettes, I am so so sorry. These cravings have been agonizing and painful. I'm sorry you've had to see me smoke my brains out to the point where I'm so buzzed, it shouldn't be like that. Babe, I could really use a kiss, please, I know you're very upset with me and I don't blame you, maybe I do need to go to rehab or better yet sober up. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I'm so tired of everything.
Christina: Aww Laur, hun you don't have to go to rehab but we definitely want you sober, we need you to be healthy, we might be a little upset but we're not mad at you, we just need you to make better choices, let's start with patting you down for any drugs. Okay let's see, Marlboro Reds you definitely don't need, matches is a definite no, Xanax bars nope, herbal cigarettes yes, you can hold on to them and your juul which I will hold on to it for now. Laur, you might not like this but these Marlboro reds need to be destroyed and discarded properly. What I want you to do is put them all in a container of water so they can disintegrate and then we can throw them out, it might make you emotional but it's for your own good.
Lexi: Christina is right baby, it's time to sober up and get you to feel better again, we will all be here for you, you can do this, whenever you get the sudden urge to smoke I will cuddle those cravings away. I love you so so so much baby, give me a kiss my love
