Bonus Chapter - II

"Rowan, stop it!" Lauren shrieked as she watched Rowan punch the wall.

He wasn't going to stop. The fury in Lauren's eyes didn't stop him from reaching the nearest flower vase and pushing it down on the floor with a crashing thud. Rowan had almost damaged each and everything that was breakable.

"I SAID STOP IT!" Lauren shrieked as Rowan cowered down and sobbed which only fueled her anger. "I swear to you, Rowan, if you don't cut this shit. I'm going to call on the rehabilitation and lock you in and make sure you stay there for a long fucking time. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Rowan sobbed loudly, pulling the bottle of alcohol close to him and crying like a little boy wanting to be in his mommy's arms. Maybe he needed just that, but his mom was too busy attending her charity shows with his father to pay attention to her grown up mentally ill, alcoholic son. He loved his girlfriend, he loved her so much and thought that maybe she was his future. He'd been dead wrong.

"Please don't leave me, Lauren." Rowan pleaded, the tears wouldn't stop. "I love you, baby."

"You don't love me, this is just your sick obsession." The disgusted look on her face broke his heart.

Darkness. He saw people laughing at him; everyone hated him including his family, his girlfriend too. Rowan pulled the bottle of Chivas closer. He felt like a four year old rather than twenty-three. The only woman he ever loved said she hated him, the tears began spilling again.

"Would you stop crying already?" Lauren asked.

"Lauren, please baby. Don't do this to us." Rowan pleaded. His eyes were bloodshot, hair in an array. If he was in a better state of mind, he would've looked better. That was a given. Rowan had always been a bright student, but somehow his mental health never agreed with that particular fact. His inner demons caused most of the problems in his life. He wished he knew how to stop it, but he couldn't.

"I tried to love you, but you..." Lauren couldn't find the right word, she pointed an accusing finger at him, "You've become a monster. I thought you'd pull you're act together after you spent six months in that godforsaken mental asylum, I thought you'd find a good job, instead you're repeating it again. I don't have the patience for your nonsense. I need to live my life, not sit here and look after your drunk ass."

"You cheated on me..." Rowan whispered, "Why did you have to cheat?"

"It was your goddamn mistake." Lauren spat. She was going to throw the It's you not me line again. "I tried to handle you for four years in hopes that you'd be fine again, I thought you'd stop drinking eventually and get a hang of your life. Take over your father's company the way you told me you would. The CEO position was going to be yours, instead your father is training your brothers for that one. I asked that old man why and you know what he tells me, that you're too sick to take over."

Rowan shook his head frantically. "No. No. Dad would never say that. I'm not sick."

"BULLSHIT!" Lauren said, "Your father is right, you are never going to be right in the head, and you're going to take down every other person that comes near you. Your family thinks I'm your nanny or something. I'm not going to stay with you and throw away my life. If I stay here for another second, I might end up like you. In a mental institute."
