Jenny's POV

I sit on my computer chair and I stare deep into my computer, looking for anything that could boost me to happiness. I click on an article about alcohol.

It says that it can make you laugh more and talk more? That's exactly what I need. Especially to be around Lily happily. But who will I get it from? I'm only 19...I need someone 21 or older....Adam! He's 21!!

I quickly sprint out of the room. I turn down the hallway and knock on Adam's door.

"Who is it?" he says.

"Jenny," I say.

"Come in." He sounds annoyed.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Editing a video."

"Will you do me a HUGE favor? Please?"

"What is it?"

"Well, I was doing some research. And I was looking for something that would make me happier and more upbeat. And I came across," I lower my voice to a whisper,"alcohol. Will you get some for me please? I will pay you extra. I'm 19 so I can't get any. But you're 21..."

"Seriously?" he says, raising his eyebrows.

"Please? I just wanna make my daughter happy!"

"By drinking?"

"Adam, please!" I say. I feel hot tears dripping down my cheeks. "Please?" I whisper.

"I couldn't."

"Please?!"

He pauses for a second. Then, he looks me straight in the eye. "Alright. What kind?"

"Any kind. I don't care," I say. I whisper,"Thank you so much."

"If Jerome finds out..."

"He won't! I have a perfect place to hide it!"

"Alright," he says. He gets up and leaves.

Adam gets back and hands me off the alcohol. I hand him the money and I run for the basement. I open the closet and hide it in the abandoned closet. No one will find it.

That night, I sneak down. I take a few sips. The alcohol is really strong. I feel the effects immediately. I start to get dizzy. Then, I feel it. Empty happiness. Perfect!

I walk upstairs. I go into my room and find Jerome with Lily. I start to giggle.

"Giggling?" Jerome says.

"Yeah," I giggle.

"Since when?"

"I don't know!" I say. Gosh, I sound weird!

"Lily can crawl!"

"Really? I never knew flowers could move!" I must be really drunk or something.

Jerome walks over and puts his hand on my forehead. "Jenny? Are you sick? Lily is our daughter..."

"Woah! I have a daughter! What's it like to get pregnant?" Wow...I am drunk. It's keeping me happy though. Upbeat.

"Jenny?!"

"What?"

"Come on, we need to get you to Lilac!"

"Why do you keep saying flowers?!" I ask.
