I said leave Trent said turning around, he saw Adrian looking at him and the bottles of alcohol around him.
I will leave, can you hear me out first, I know I have no right to be here Adrian said approaching Trent.
You... Adrian ... you are here, why is your cheek bleeding Trent asked.
Some lunatic threw a glass bottle at me but that's besides the point. Did you drink that much alcohol, especially in a short period. It is dangerous, Trent. It affects your body in ways you can’t ignore. Alcohol messes with your liver, causing it to work overtime to filter out the toxins. Too much, and you’re looking at liver damage—cirrhosis, fatty liver, even liver failure if you keep this up.
And it doesn’t stop there. Your heart is at risk, too. Drinking excessively raises your blood pressure, increases your risk of stroke, and weakens your heart muscle over time. That’s on top of what it does to your brain—slows your reflexes, impairs your judgment, affects your memory. Do you really want to mess with all that?
Trent’s expression shifted slightly, a hint of realization creeping in, but Adrian wasn’t done. Alcohol also disrupts your sleep, dehydrates you, and can lead to weight gain. It weakens your immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off infections. And let's not forget the mental health effects—alcohol is a depressant, Trent. It might make you feel better for a little while, but in the long run, it’s only going to make things worse. Trust me I know, I'm here lecturing you while I was a drunkard until about a month ago but that is besides the point....can you not drink please Adrian said.
Trent’s face softened a bit, and he sighed, looking down at his hands.
Well thanks to your speech I'm no longer drinking, way to scare a guy off alcohol but it feels like it’s the only way to shut everything out, to stop thinking for a while.
Adrian’s expression softened too.
I get it, Trent. I really do. But this isn’t the way to deal with things. You’ve got to find healthier ways to cope. Talk to anyone, instead of reaching for another bottle. You’re way too smart to let alcohol take over. Shit if I knew I would be giving advice like this I would have never touched alcohol Adrian said sighing.
I love it when you are concerned about me, I want to.... Adrian why are you here...
You aren't drunk...
I can drink three kegs and not get drunk, I have a high tolerance level of alcohol...
Ohh..., I saw this Adrian said giving the sketch book.
What about it Trent asked not taking it.
Ilay also talked to me, Leo too. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I shot at you... I'm
You had fourteen more bullets to use in that gun but you didn't. You could have killed me but you didn't. I tortured you, kept you imprisoned for a month, I am the one who is sorry Trent said.
Forget that incident, I wanted to apologize for doubting your love for me. I'm sorry for questioning if it was genuine and for not trusting you.... I am really sorry.....
It's okay, we were both shitty persons. And shit happens...
Trent I am in love with you. I don't how I fell in love with your obnoxious, rude and cold self but I am. I love you so much it hurts. It hurt being away from you ..I
Adrian... you don't have to force yourself to be with me. I know you love Chris and I'm happy if you are.
Chris, what gave you the idea that I love Chris...
You guys kissed on camera, you said you were dating and you are always together, you left me for him today and you were hugging each other tightly. You also said you loved him, An employee heard it....
Okay that's a lot of reasonable ideas. We kissed while playing truth or double dare. We had too much to drink, we lied about dating because I didn't want to talk to you and I wanted to make you know I could be loved not as someone's stand in which I now know I wasn't. I tell my friends I love them all the time if you don't like it I'm willing to stop . I was hugging him because he was sad. He needed a hug. I love you Trent. Only you, there has never been someone else....
Adrian...
I know you are skeptical of my love but you could always tell when I am lying... Look in my eyes and tell me if you believe me or not. If you don't I swear I'll leave and never bother you Adrian said.
Don't....I believe you.... Trent said hugging Adrian tightly.
