<15> Jared Kleinmen/ his addiction and how he gets over it (trigger warning)

- okay so, I bet Jared has a huge drinking problem

- it all started when his crazy uncle gave him a beer so Jared could "Man Up"

- he didn't necessarily like the taste, he just liked how it made him feel?

- his parents go away a lot, and they never lock the liquor cabinet (flashbacks to Heathers) which is always full of wine/whiskey because his parents drink a lot, so idek this doesn't help with his addiction because he drinks a lot of the stuff

- he always goes to high school parties just so he can get drunk. He's known around school as the Party Animal™ but tbh he's just a nerd with a drinking problem

- the first person to find out is Connor (shockingly) because he noticed how Jared always smells like alcohol and how he always seemed hungover in the mornings

- he goes over one day to confront him about it, only to find Jared passed out drunk on the couch

- "Jared, wake up, you're drunk"

- "fUCK YOU MURPHY GET OUT OF MY HOUSE"

*5 seconds later*

- "Jared I swear to god if you don't get up from the floor-"

- *a muffled 'fuck you' can be heard from Jared's spot on the floor*

- fr though Connor ends up picking Jared up and takes him to his room. He ends up spending the night and the next morning he has a glass of water and two Advil ready for our little hung over Jared.

- they both have a long talk about what happened the night before and Connor tries to help Jared.

- Jared denies his help at first, but after awhile he reluctantly accepts it and ends up going to Rehab.

- my lil bean ends up getting better, and the only time he's gotten drunk since Rehab was when his uncle came back over and basically forced Jared to drink.

- but he got better bcuz he is a bean
