A New Life (#wattys2019)

Dark Days

{Trigger Warning: Drug and Alcohol induced Overdose. If you remember on the IG version, TJ slipped back into old habits.}

*TJ*

It's been seven days since Ben broke up with you. Everything y/n had done for you, you push her away. Everything is a blur to you. She washed you in the tub, cooked you warm food to eat and try to get you out. Y/n was so far along in her pregnancy. You didn't want to give up your chance of having a family. Laying in bed, you watch the day turn into night. Y/n comes into your room. She lays down next to you and holds you in her arms. She kisses you tenderly on the cheek.

"You have me still, my love." She told you.

"He was my everything." You said grabbing her hand.

"I know, TJ." She whispered.

She got on top of you. Looking up at her, you sit up and kiss her. You comb your fingers through her soft, beautiful, and long hair. Y/n kisses your nose. She looks at you with her doe eyes. They are big and bright. It was the first thing you noticed on her besides her breasts. You held her close to you.

"I love you, TJ." She told you.

You look at her, "I love you too." You said back.

"I am going to work. If you need me, you have my number." Y/n smiles as she got off of you. 

While y/n was at work, you went to the liquor store. You bought two bottles of whiskey. You grab a glass from the cabinet. As the day went on, you got very drunk. Then you climbed the stairs to your  bedroom. You laughed to yourself. Once inside your room, you went to your nightstand. You found a vial of cocaine. It was full from a few years ago. Grabbing a mirror and a credit card from your wallet. Your old habits were coming back to you. Making lines with the card, you roll up a hundred dollar. You began to snort one line of coke up your nose. Once you ran out of cocaine, you called your old dealer to bring more cocaine. You paid him the amount. Cocaine made you feel numb. It made you feel better.

You went back to doing lines after lines. You drank more whiskey. The world was spinning as you got higher and higher. Music was a blur as you did your make another line. You couldn't wait for y/n to come home. She was your little vixen. You were going to sex her up when she comes home. You lit a cigarette up. After you finish, you were feeling sick. Also, you were getting tired and sweat. As you collapse, blackness over takes your vision. You threw up the bile from your stomach.

(July 1988)

Doug and you were riding bikes down the road. You saw your brother go down on the road. Getting off your bike, you ran over to your twin. Elaine ran up the road to check on Doug. Your father was working at the time of the accident. Dougie was crying while holding his knee.

"It hurts, TJ." Doug said in pain.

"What happened?" Elaine asked you.

"He fell off of his bed." You answered your mother.

"You should have been watching him, TJ." Elaine scolded TJ.

Elaine picked Doug off the road. She took the twins to the hospital. You held Doug's hand on the way there. Doug looks at you and smiles. There was a moment in your life, you felt normal. Elaine took Doug and you followed. It was hours before Doug was discharged from the hospital with a cast on his left leg.

*Y/N*

(Present Day)

You walk into the door. Music was playing in TJ's room. You put your purse and laptop down on the chair. As you walk up the stairs, you went to your bedroom. You got your clothes off and you put your comfort clothes on. Then you checked on TJ in his bedroom. You went inside of his room. The glimpse of TJ's body laying on the floor by his own vomit.
