My best friends death

Hi my name is Alex, this is a story, captain obvious much, no but really, this is the story of my alcohol addiction and how I was saved but that didn't last for long. Let's begin, it all started on a mind blowing loud day, in which like every other day I needed to drive to work, I lived with my best friend, in a quiet apartment outside of the town , my parents died when I was 5 years old and I lived with my brother until this year I was emancipated when I 16 . Thinking I could live with on my own I rented an apartment and still am and going to school and I have a job at the Cineplex in which I work with my... "Jade what are you doing in my car" I yelled at my best friend who happens to live with me.
He replied in that voice that he does when he knows I'm mad and he wants to make me even madder "I don't know I was hoping for a ride to work and then home but I see you're mad so I'll just walk" as he opened the car door
"No it's okay I'll give you a ride"
He climbed back in the car and we drove to work. As I pulled out of the school parking lot he opened the glove box and grabbed the bottle of vodka that I was drinking be for school.
"I see you are still drinking, you idiot you could have gotten suspended for even having this in the car" Jade said hopping that it would change my addiction it didn't but at least he tried. As I pulled into the parking lot he stepped out of the car with the bottle in hand and chucked it into the garbage.
" why would you do that I was going to drink that" I shouted at him, I didn't care if everyone herd I needed him to realize he did something wrong. He just ignored me and walked into the building in which we worked.
After work started to quit down the rest of the workers and I decided to go to the bar across the street but Jade decided other wise. He dragged me to the car and told me to drive him home because we had school tomorrow. So I had to because jade does not walk anywhere he always has gotten a ride you know, like to school and from and to work and from but mostly home. So I couldn't say no, and he sat in the car waiting I climbed in and started to drive home.

We arrived at a small quite building outside of the town where we went to school. We climbed out of the car and started walking towards the building.
"Why do you do this to yourself, you make your self look like a midget compared to the rest of the world and its not fair" Jade said talking to me like I was doing something wrong. I replied in a calm voice saying "the worlds not always fair but at least i try to do something to numb the pain of the worlds energetically stupid behaviour"
As we walked into the building I said my last words those were the last of the night that where spoken.

The next morning I woke up hung over again, talking to myself i said "time to drunk again"
I got up and walked into the kitchen to where the boo's where kept and opened the drawer to grab the unopened bottle of Vodka.

15 minutes later, I was so drunk i thought i might need to take the day off from school but like my brother always says "it will affect your permanent record" WOW those are some nice words from the brainiac, aka my brother. As I sat on the couch hoping Jade had left for school already, but no he hadent, he walked out of the bathroom only in a towl. I yelled from the living room "Jade I'm not going to school, Leave without me" that was an "awsome" choice because that night i got a call from the hospital saying that my best friend had died in a tragic car accident.

"shit he took my car" was the only thing I could think about because it could be on the news where my brother could see it and think I was dead.

"God I'm such a selfish bastard, my best friends dead and I'm worried about my car" I said yo my self "its going to suck tomorrow at school, guess I'm going to therapy again"
