Too Far Apart

Chapter 6

*5 months later*
Today is July 10th, it's Nicks birthday, I have been clean for about 5 months now, and I only have a month till I can come back.

I posted a picture of Nick and I from his birthday when he turned sixteen with a caption that said "Happy birthday to my best friend, Nick has been there for me when I needed him the most, I can't wait to see you again. I love you Nick."

Jay and I have talked more since that call in February and we've been good. But now I gotta get to my counseling. I walked into the room and there was only a few people and the counselor.

"Ok guys, today you 4 have been clean for about 5 months now, and that's huge, so I want to reflect on the time you decided to get clean, Chloe let's start off with you." He said.

"I decided to get clean when I almost died in my hotel room from popping too many pills, drinking about 4-6 bottles of liquor, and doing a bunch of coke, my friends found me and called for an ambulance right away, I woke up in the hospital 2 days later to see my mom in such an awful condition, red puffy eyes, crying, dark circles as when I woke up she was asleep but when she heard me moving she woke up, and I started all of this cause I was still in pain over my dad's death and cause of physical pain from wrestling." I said. "How did you know that it was time to get clean?" A girl from the group asked me.

"I almost died, I don't want to die at a young age, I have my whole life ahead of me, my career and family, I value all of that more than anything in my life, so when I woke up and I was told that I couldn't continue to work until I got help I instantly knew that it was time, I don't want to live a life where I am wasted potential, so I agreed to get help and I feel amazing." I said.

"Now Chloe, do you plan on staying clean after this 6 months are over?" The counselor asked again. "Yeah, again if I don't my career is over, I mean I will probably drink every once in a while when I turn 21, but I will not be the way I was before." I said. "I'm glad you were honest." He said.

*1 Month later*
This the day I leave, I got my "6 months clean" coin and all of my paperwork. I packed all of my stuff and waited for my mom to pick me up.

About at 9:30 AM my mom was here to pick me up. As soon as I saw her I stood up and gave her a huge hug. Nick, and Blake were with her as well so I gave them a hug too.

"Jordan wanted to be here but he got sick with a Cold." Nick said, I nodded as I continued to hug them.

"Alright you must be Chloe's mom, I am Mr. Terrance, her alcohol and drugs abuse counselor, she did amazing these past 6 months and I know she was struggling, she told me that she was and I gave her some helpful tips for when she is struggling, she was very honest about everything, and I think that she will continue to do amazing, if you guys will just sign this paperwork, you will be free to go." I signed and so did my mom.

We then left. The boys put my stuff in the back as I sat in the front. "You hungry?" My mom asked as the boys got in. "Hell yes, I need In n' out, I need Wendy's, Taco Bell, sonic, Panda Express, they fed me but it was all boring food, so let's go to In n' out, we will get something else for dinner." I said. "Okay let's go." My mom laughed.

I took a picture with my mom and the boys and posted it with the caption "Back with my family."

We got food and then made the hour long drive home. When I got home I jumped on my bed and instantly felt at home. I laid there for about 10 minutes listening to the boys argue when I decided to take a shower.

"I'm gonna take a shower, y'all continue arguing." I laughed. "Okay." They both said as I grabbed a black long sleeved crop top and some matching shorts, I grabbed long white Nike socks and headed to my bathroom, I took a shower, washed my face, then brushed my teeth, and while I was doing all of that I heard the doorbell ring, i quickly put my clothes on and put all of my hair creams in, I opened the door and rushed downstairs to see Juice, Mox, Kenny, Toni, and Jay.
