TIFFANY POV

They treat me like a baby all day. I act like a baby all day. And now, now they make me go home all by myself. Are they going to pay for my bottles of booze? They threw them away, didn't sign up for that. I am so tired, I can't think straight. How am I supposed to climb these stairs? Using hands and feet, like a bear.

When I reach the top of the stairs, I open my door and walk towards my favourite cupboard. 'Jack, Morgan, I am so lucky to have you.' I stumble towards the couch and sit down. Tonight I am going to drink too much. I am going to drink enough to never wake up again.

Jack hits the wall and his shards decorate my floor. Never let go Jack, I will never let go. I rub away the tears from my face. Alcohol used to make me forget, but now it makes me think too much. Richard. I love him so much. I loved him so much. My body is numb and I dig my nails into my arm. Nothing. A bit of blood. No pain. Everything is blurry. I still see his face. My body tells me to throw up. I don't want to. If I throw up, the alcohol will leave my body. It will ruin everything. I hear something. 'Shhht Marina and the Diamonds.' I turn down the volume. Knock knock. Getting up is hard. My head hits the door. Ouch.

I open the door and a worried face seems to be surprised. Relieved? I smile before falling into his arms. 'I have missed you so mani. Mani missing you.' 'Tiffany where have you been? What are you doing?' He carries me towards my bed and lays me down. 'I am so happy that you're okay. Sort of okay.' I grab his hand and pull him on top of me. 'Tiffany, don't.' He escapes from my embrace and lies down next to me. 'I am drunk. I want to get more drunk. I don't want to wake up.' I close my eyes and cuddle up to him. 'What are you saying? Look at me.' I open my eyes, his pretty face is blurred. What a waste of a pretty face. I caress his soft, tanned skin and I close my eyes again. 'Can you get Morgan for me?' I sniff. 'No Tiff.' I feel his thumb on my cheek, carefully wiping away a few tears. 'I can't feel my body but everything hurts.' I start sobbing and he wraps his arms around me to pull me close. He kisses my forehead and I nuzzle my face into his neck. 'Go to sleep.' 'Don't leave.' I'm not sure, buy I think I feel him smile. 'I won't.'

His heartbeat calms me down, his steady breaths make me steady mine. My eyes burn and my cheeks feel nasty because of all the tears. I want to sleep. But I don't. The world is still spinning. Jack is not letting me go. I focus on the hand that is still running up and down my back. I press my body closer to his and I kiss his neck. His body reacts in a great way, his voice tells me different. 'Don't do this, Tiffany. You don't want this. You'll regret this in the morning and I don't want you to have more regrets.' My fingers tangle in his hair and things get blurry.

A/N: Chapter 50, how lovely. Thank you all so much for reading. Some of you already know, but my new story is up as well. It's called Temptation Island. I hope you like it. If you don't know if you like it, go read it and give it a try, ahah.
Oh and don't worry, we're not saying goodbye to Richmond and Tina yet.

All the love. x T.
