Jake groaned loudly as he reached the bottom of the stairs. "Well good morning sunshine" Nick chuckled, he was sat in the living room drinking some coffee while working on his laptop.

"Ha, ha, ha" Jake laughed sarcatically,  "You look awful, what happened?" Nick questioned looking Jake over, noticing he had no shirt on, his pants were terribly wrinkled and had a stain on them, his hair was everywhere, and his eyes looked extremly tired, and his voice was more raspy in the morning then usual.
"I'm a little foggy on everything that happened actually" Jake said his voice sounding as rough and tired as he looked.

Nick put his laptop away following Jake into the kitchen, where he was brewing himself some coffee, "What do you mean its foggy?" Nick asked sounding a little concerned,
"I got a flippin' sick headache, I'm dizzy, I don't really remember what happened last night,
I'm just in a lot of pain, my mouth especially hurts" Jake told him, before messaging his jaw
wincing as he did so, Nick touched his jaw gently frowning, "Jake are you sure you don't remember anything?" Nick questioned, "I was out...Um, I got done with work then I-" jake was saying, but stopped abruptly remembering going to the gas station to get his 'last' alcoholic beverage, but knew he couldn't tell Nick about that.

"And you what?" Nick questioned,  "And I...I don't remember" Jake lied taking a sip of his coffee,
"Jake, are you okay? Maybe you should go to the Doctor" Nick suggested, "I'll be fine once I take a shower" Jake assured before taking another swig of his coffee, he made a odd face at Nick as his stomach churned, "Are you o-" Nick was saying before Jake gave him his mug of coffee, before quickly going to the toilet.

"Jake!" Nick yelled out before hearing Jake vomiting in the other room, Nick frowned putting his mug down shaking his head, *What is going on with that boy?* He thought a unsettled look on his face, as Nick went back to the living room, he saw Chance rounding the corner coming in.

"Chance!" Nick said making Chance jump, automatically thinking about him getting in trouble
for what he did to Jake the other night. "Have you spoken the Jake today? He looks awful" Nick said, "I haven't, I'm about to go out with him though" Chance said remembering Jake's tooth,
"Well when you do, please try and tell him to take better care of himself" Nick said, "Ye-yeah" Chance stuttered, "What's the matter with you?" Nick questioned, "Nothing, I'm just worried about Jake too" Chance said, "o...k?" Nick said still a bit confused as Chance quickly left the room going to find Jake, while he tried to calm his nerves, he soon got to Jake's bedroom door, before he could knock on the door it opened revealing Jake, he wore a hoodie and shorts,
he still had slight bags under his eyes from being tired, but overall he was a little more cleaned up.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Chance asked, "I'm good" Jake told him, "You need to some with me to the Dentist" Chance said, Jake frowned confused, "How'd you know about my-" Jake was saing "Broken tooth?" Chance finished with Jake, "Bro how the he-" Jake was speaking but Chance interrupted grabbing Jake's head taking him outside, "We'll talk about it in the car, let's go" Chance told him eagered to get away from any listening ears, "Slow down!" Jake told him,
using the hand Chance didn't take to hold his head.

Chance got in Jake's tesla with him and started to drive.
"What's your problem bro! I just got rid of my headache" Jake said annoyed, rubbing his sore temples, "Jake, can you tell me exactly what happened last night?" Chance asked glancing at him nervously, "I went out, worked, then everything blacked out" Jake lied, "You know that's not what happened!" Chance shouted, in his heart afraid Jake really was turning into a alcoholic,
"Stop shouting! I'm getting real tired of your nosey little attitude!" Jake yelled back, before holding his head again, "Jake, I'm serious, I need to know what you did last night- when I found you, you were bloody waltzing around the streets" Chance said with firm concern.

Jake was silent as he started to look at his phone, "Jake, come on bro, don't ignore me' Chance said a little more sad, Jake didn't speak he just started to text someone, "Jake, you can't keep doing this, I know what you were doing, you were out getting drunk- and you know I'm right!" Chance said roughly, Jake just shifted closer to the window still texting, Chance sighed driving on in silence, they soon got to the Dentis where Chance pulled into the parking lot.

"Jake, I know you miss Erika, but your losing control, you gotta get a grip! Erika isn't worth what your doing!" Chance yelled at him, Jake finally put his phone away, turning around to stare at him. "Listen Chance! I'm tired of you lecturing me, I'm a grown man, I'm 21 years old! I can do what I freakin' want,  I can smash who I want, I can drink what I want, and you can't stop me, so do me a favor and SHOVE YOUR OPINION WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE!" Jake shouted at him before getting out of the car slamming the door shut, Chance sat there in shock while Jake marched to the builing.

Chance quickly go out of the car, following Jake, "Jake wait just a sec-" Chance was saying but Jake turned around snarling at him, "Get your own ride home, and leave me alone!" Jake shouted, surprising Chance again, he stopped in his tracks while Jake went inside to get his tooth fixed.

Chance looked down at his feet making his hands into fist,  *I'm not letting him become a alcoholic, I'm not letting him do this to himself* Chance thought, he started to call a Uber while thinking to himself, *I've got to tell the team about this* Chance thought knowing he needed some help.
