Reign

I felt my heart skip a beat as I read over the name again, not believing my eyes. Indeed, it said that name I thought it did

Joseph Matthew Birlem

Age: 23

Addiction: alcohol and drug

Extra information: cocaine addict
potentially dangerous

This can't be Joey. Yes, people change but Joey doing drugs at 23? Somethings not right. He can't be 'dangerous'. He's not that type of person

Or is he? He could've changed in 3 years. I mean, I've changed, but not as much as this.
Sighing, I picked up the phone and dialled Benji's number

He picked up almost straight away

"Miss Wilson, how can I help you?" He asked

"Do I have any appointments with this Joseph Birlem this week?" I asked him

"Uh, yes. One today at 1. One Wednesday at 2 and one Thursday at 12" he answered

I sighed heavily. I have to see him again in literally 4 hours and he's addicted to cocaine and alcohol. Great

"Everything okay Miss Wilson?" I heard Benji ask

"Yes, thank you Benji" I said before ending the call

I can't imagine what hell do when he sees me sat in this chair. Will be turn and leave. Will he pretend to not know me or will he act normally with me? Who knows?

°°°

1pm rolled around quicker than I thought it would and I don't know what to do. His appointment is literally in 5 minutes and I'm pacing around my office wondering what to do

I heard a knock at the door and dashed over to my chair, sitting in it and flattening my dress out nervously

"Come in" I said

I saw the door knob turn and my heart beat quickened at the sight. I saw him slip inside the room, almost stalking over to the seat opposite me

He had a tattered hoodie on with the hood up, black jeans that were ripped to shreds and a pair of Nikes that I can remember from college

He sat down in the chair opposite me, taking his hood down and lifting his head up. His eyes were dark before he looked up at me

"Reign?" He asked, partially shocked

"Mr Birlem, good to see you" I said, remaining professional

I knew I couldn't give into him, so I didn't

"Reign I-"

"Mr Birlem, what brings you here?" I asked, interrupting him

I looked at him to see he couldn't get his words out. He just sat with an open mouth, looking at me in pure shock

"I erm. Well I-. I, uh" he stumbled on his words countless times

"Well I-. In simple terms, I'm a crackhead" he sighed

"No, that's where you're going wrong. You're addicted to cocaine and alcohol, yeah?"

He nodded, feeling ashamed of himself

"Don't feel ashamed, Mr Birlem-"

"For god sake. Please, just call me Joey" he interrupted me

"I'm sorry, Mr Birlem, I prefer to keep it strictly professional between my clients and I" I answered

He sighed heavily and dropped his head into his hands

"So, what made you spiral into drug and alcohol abuse?"
