"Since it's the weekend, Ethan asked if I wanted to stay at his since his Dad is hardly around. He's occupied by travelling constantly to gamble. Apparently he's been doing well lately, but drinking has now become a big problem in his life since the end of last year. Ethan claims he said it helps him make risky decisions he wouldn't when sober. I'm not sure why he's drunk when he's home then, if that's the case. Ethan's Dad is only home once every two or three weeks. The image I am painting of Ethan's Dad isn't pleasant, I know. It wasn't always like this. It's only been over the past year or so that he's become a proper gambling addict. He's gambled for a long time, but not like this. I'm not sure what caused him to become this way, maybe he doesn't even know. All that concerns me is that Ethan is ok. As long as he's ok then I'm ok.
Ethan ordered pizza, and it was delicious. I only eat plain pizza. Ethan's favourite is pepperoni. Since I hated the smell of pepperoni he decided to join me in eating the plain pizza. We sat and watched an episode of Patrick Miller's chat show. I live for his show. It is my dream to appear on it. He always interviews the coolest people and he has a great sense of humour! I love how Patrick is always smiling, too.
"Do you want something else?" Ethan asked, passing me the last slice.
"No, thank you." I replied, nurturing my stomach and flopping out along the sofa. I shouldn't have accepted the last slice of pizza.
