My Best Friend

Chapter 40

TIM POV: I walked in the house to see Faith and my mom talking on the couch "Oh Hi Mom, I didn't realize you were here" "Hi son" she than looked at Faith. Than she said something to Faith, than left. "Hey what's going on?" I asked "Have a seat, we need to talk" Faith said. I than sat down "so what's going on?" "Tim we need to talk,you are hardely ever home and when you do come home, it's very late. I have barely seen you in weeks" "Faith, I'm sorry, I've been working and getting ready for this tour" "I understand that, but are you telling me you're busy working and rehearsing for this tour till late at night into the early morning hours?" I didn't know what to say. "Tim..this isn't good" "I'm sorry okay! I've been working what else you want me to say?" "Nothing, just forget it" she said and went to get up. "FAITH!" "what Tim? what are you going to say? you're sorry again? and another thing, you're drinking. I smell alcohol every night you get home. YES! I'm awake when you get in bed" "so I had a few beers with the guys, what's so wrong with that?" I said raising my voice. "TIM! the baby is sleeping" than we heard crying "SHIT! now look what you've done" she yelled and went to check on JT. Shit I've really messed up, but I'm an adult, if I want to have some beers with the guys I can. I went up to our bedroom. I went to take shower. Once I was done, I got out to get in bed. Faith was already there. "look I'm sorry okay" "yeah..it's just I don't want you drinking Tim!" "so what are you saying I'm not allowed to have any alcohol now? I'm an adult Faith!" "yes you are and you are a father and a husband. You have a family to think about. I thought you wouldn't want to be like.." "Like who? Horace?" "yeah" she said whispering. "I'm not like him and I never will be" "Tim, he started out just like that and than it became worse. I don't want that for you, for us! Please" she said and started to cry. I than sat down next to her. "I promise I would never hurt you or our son" "I know that, but Tim if you keep going like this, I'm afraid of what will happen" I thought about it and she was right. I laid down and coudn't stop thinking about what Faith said. I don't want to lose my family. I love them too much.
