They had been going out for six-months. Everything had been going great. Alice and FP had rekindled their relationship. That was until a slip happened. It hadn't meant to happen. He tried his best to hide the fact he fallen again. He hid liquor bottles in his cupboard in the kitchen, shoes and even a vase. What caused his slip was still unanswered. Fred caught him stumbling around his backyard. As FP hugged him he could sleep the stench off his breath and clothes. He reeked of booze and he knew Alice must know.
"I'm afraid FP has started again." Alice couldn't believe what was hearing. Fred must be lying to her. FP hadn't drank in a year. He had to be lying. There was no way he was drinking.
"What no. I'm sure he's fine, Fred." Of course she denied what was really going on.
"I'm sorry but he is, Al. He went to bathroom four times while dinner and smelt like mouthwash." She stopped laughing and hope fell through her lips.
"Oh god." She said as her eyes grew heavy with realization. He's drinking again.
She watched Fred leave her house and she stormed off to find FP. When she found him he was in the backyard."you've been drinking again haven't you?" She asked, hoping he wasn't.
"What? I'm not." He brushed off, a lazy laugh falling through his closed lips.
"I can't go through this again FP! I've already been through this with my father, I can't not with you. Don't you dare like to me!" She shouted, her ears getting red hot.
"I'm not drinking!" He finally snapped, slamming the door.
After their fight. Alice still didn't trust him. So her and Hermione broke into FP's trailer and snooped around for any sign of alcohol or a trace. Alice looked under the rug and didn't find any fresh stains. Hermione checked the frigid, still no sign.
"What are you doing here?" They both turned toward the voice and froze.
Alice stood tall and glared." Where is it?!"
"I'm not drinking, Alice! I told the truth to you last night!"
"Then why don't I believe you? I already told you I can't have you lying to me!" She sneered.
Hermione spotted something in a vase and stuck her hand in there. When she lifted her hand back. They found a half a bottle of whiskey. Alice's eyes were red and her heart twisted.
"How long?"
"That's old."
She scoffed," Trust me it's not, FP! Don't lie to me!"
"Fine. But that was the first drink." She eyed him." Okay there's a tea jug filled with Long Island and some vodka in the bathroom."
Alice and Hermione went to the locations they were told." There's none in the bathroom, FP!" She called from inside the bathroom.
"Also none in the fridge—" Hermione noticed that FP had no longer been in the living room and snuck away.
Alice checked everywhere. She hadn't seen FP since he ran away. She was worried. What if he had been hurt or possible dead. That was until Betty found him drunk in the basement of their house. He got a little rough and pushed her. Her eyes widened and she made a promise to not tell anyone he was there. She told her mom and Alice was furious. She sent the kids out to the movies and she and FP had a talk.
"I can't believe you. You lied to me, right to my face. How can I trust you?" She was on the verge of tears. She never felt so angry in her life.
"I was afraid you would never trust me and kick me out. Or even keep Jughead or JB away from just like Gladys had." FP's voice cracked as he couldn't meet her in the eyes.
He had fallen off the wagon after Gladys had taken advantage of him and used his love for his daughter as a weapon against him. When he found out he was heartbroken. His daughter was forced to be under Gladys's drug hands. He arrested her and just a week ago. He had gotten so low that he thought one drink wouldn't hurt.
"Well I don't think I can trust you." His heart shattered." But I won't keep you away from your kids ever. We'll get you help."
He was so happy that tears flooded his eyes." Thank you."
The next day he and Alice drove to a local sponsor meeting. Alice gave him a smile and held up her thumb for good luck.
"My name's FP and I'm here for my first meeting."
"Hello FP."
He heard room say his name and welcome him in. But the only one he cared about was sitting in the front row. Alice smiles as she watched him. She wasn't happy that he was drinking again but now that he's in AA. She felt so much better. She walked over to him and kissed his cheek.
"I'm so proud of you, Baby." FP's heart swelled with joy. He drew her in for a kiss.
"Thanks baby. I couldn't of done this without you and your wonderful support, Al." Fears he felt so long. The ones that haunted him for months. Now fled from his mind. He knew Alice wouldn't leave and he was safe from heartbreak.
"You're welcome. I wouldn't want our baby not have a father." His jaw dropped and his heart swelled again with joy and praise.
"For real?" She nodded her head as tears rolled slowly down her cheeks.
"Yes." She smiled, with a teary nod. "I'm gonna he a daddy again!" He exclaimed.
The room started clapping and cheering for the couple. Alice and FP were too busy to care. FP will make a vow to keep his sobriety chip. He wasn't going to lose the best woman to ever walk into his life and steal his heart without any effort.
