Chapter 9

"why didn't you tell me..." sonnys father, aka Scott, said.

"i... I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I really couldn't I just didn't know how it would affect you and I wanted to carry the weight for you.""I appreciate that. really it's my fault sonny even drinks. im the one who was letting him at such a young age and I really shouldn't have done that. I don't know what I was thinking.""I have a drinking issue because my mother disowned me... sonny has an issue because he's just addicted to alcohol and im getting on that path with him and it feels like it's against my own will."

"I know how you feel. I used to have a smoking problem," he said clearing his throat. I nodded and gave him a pat on his back. we walked back into the hospital room and it just killed me to see sonny hooked up like that to heart monitors and IV. he was awake but in a complete daze and I didn't want to bother him. "hey Wesley..." he said weakly.

"sonny, how do you feel?"

"I feel like crap."

"I understand. you have to stop drinking after this ok... it hurts so much for all of us to handle."

"I'll do my best. I cannot believe im putting you guys through all of this and its all my fault.""no this is my fault," I said. "I was supposed to be the one saying no and taking it away from you. I was the one supposed to be taking care of you and I didn't do anything all I did was sit there and watch you drink your life away and that's not what a friend does. a friend actually helps in the situation and they take care of the friends. they do everything they can to make sure that person is on the right path and I did none of that. from now on I will be here to take care of you and be there for you."

sonny smiled. "im so happy that I met you."

"you really don't know how much I care and I don't think you ever will understand that," I said smiling."of course I will. I already do. you do care a lot and I really do appreciate it. now you will never know how much it means for you to be around and protect me and care for me and help me along with my life." he said, dazing off again. he ended up falling asleep and we left him alone. I was reassured by his steady heartbeat on the heart monitor.

"let's leave him be, we can come back later," Scott said.

"alright. let's go then," I said goodbye to sonny and we headed out.

when I got to the house I cleared out most of the alcohol so then he wouldn't have anything to drink as soon as he got home. I kept the stuff I wasn't getting rid of in a spot that I could hardly even reach. putting away the footstool I sighed and decided to take a nap. it had been a really long day.
