~ 4 days before the accident ~
Scott’s POV
Ever since Kirstie left, I’ve been a mess. I practically made Avi and Kevin take me to a bar. I don’t know how Kirstie is doing; I hope she isn’t hurting herself in anyway.
“Scott, dude, you’ve had enough. Let’s go!” Avi said.
“I’ve had a few drinks. I’m fine; I just need a shot or five. I need to clear my head.” I slurred.
“No shot or shots. You’re a wreck in an hour. You’re going back to your apartment and let Mitch is going to take care of you. Also you need to talk to Kirstie and stop drinking your problems away.” Kevin said me.
“Just go home. I’ll leave when I’m done.” I told them.
They looked at each other and nodded then back at me. Kevin grabbed me by my waist, which made me giggle like a little girl, and put my on his shoulder.
“Put me down!” I demanded.
He didn’t listen and continued walking. I gave up in the car and fell asleep.
Mitch’s POV
Kirstie came over late last night crying. What did Scott do?
“Kirstie, hon, are you okay?” I asked quietly.
She shook her head and continued to cry softly.
“Oh sweetie…what’s the matter?”
“Why does Scott drink?” Kirstie asked. Her question was so cut and dry.
I didn’t fully understand why he drank but it was pretty bad.
“Kirstie, when Scott and I were younger he had a hard childhood. His parents argued all the time and yelled at him. He was their mistake when they dated but got married so he could be raised properly. His parents got divorced when he was fourteen and his dad got custody of him. When he was sixteen he hung around the wrong crowd and got drunk underage at parties to forget. No he just wants to let his past die so he can move on. That is why he drinks.” I told her.
“I…I never knew. Mitch, I told him I was done. He must be drinking his head off.” She said worried.
“He’s fine. He begged Avi and Kevin to go. They’ll stop him after two drinks.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Go home and go to sleep. You’re day must’ve been hectic.” I told her.
“Okay, good night.”
About an hour later Avi and Kevin dragged in a sleepy Scott and told me to take care of him. I agreed, of course and told them to put him in my room and shut the door.
