"Stevie please tell me whats happened?" Christine asked panicking as she pulled the dressing gown around herself tighter, walking closer and feeling more alert even though the hangover was awful.
"I need to quit the band Chris, I need to go to rehab!" Stevie gulped, tearing up as she looked her best friend in the eyes.
"But Stevie, why, you love the lifestyle, I'd be lying if I said I didnt, the drugs and booze are one of the best parts!" Christine chuckled softly, then frowned "Are you sick love, please tell me why the sudden change for, please?"
"I just want to get clean, no questions asked!" She sniffled, looking away and shakily walking off and sitting down on the bed with her head in her hands. She was so scared and feeling so alone, she wanted to tell Christine the truth but couldn't because Christine had just been with Mick the previous night and Stevie didn't know if Mick was lying and they were now in a relationship. If they were, she didn't want to be the one to ruin it and didn't have the courage to tell Christine about her own affair with Mick, it was too painful.
"Stevie darling, talk to me, I will always be here for you!" Christine pleaded, standing in front of her.
"You cant tell anyone Christine!" Stevie exclaimed looking up at her and feeling like she needed to tell her or else she would explode, she needed to vent and say about the baby at least.
"I wont just tell me, what the fuck is happening Stevie!" Christine begged, sitting beside her on the bed and wincing softly, still sensitive from the night with Mick and she felt sick with regret "Stevie please?" She said and rested her hand on Stevie's leg.
"I'm pregnant again Chris and I am not aborting it, I'm having it and I need to get healthy for it, I want it so much, if I loose it, I will loose myself, this baby means more to me than my own life!" Stevie sniffled and burst out crying.
Christine was shocked but wrapped her arms around her petite friend and hugged her best she could "Oh Stevie, I'm so sorry, this would be hell for you darling, why weren't you more careful!" She cooed and that comment made Stevie angry, she was more high strung than usual and took it as a lecture.
"Be more careful, are you careful, Mick didn't wear a condom with you last night, did he?" Stevie snapped, pulling away roughly.
"Stevie, I was drunk and high off my mind and you know how low the chance of me getting pregnant is, I wasn't judging you, I am just upset for you, I would hate for this to happen to me, its so brave of you to choose so quick, I just want to be here for you, the father should be too, let me tell him, help you with rehab!" Christine stammered worried more.
"No, I just need to clear my head first Christine, no one else knows and I don't want them too!" Stevie snapped getting up from the bed and pacing the room, while beginning to chew harshly on her thumbnail.
"Stevie, Lindsey wants kids I am sure, just tell him and he will support you!" Christine pleaded standing up.
"Its not his!" Stevie yelled and then felt bad as Christine flinched "I'm sorry!"
"A random then, please not Don again?" Christine sighed.
"No, not Don, the man is married ok!" Stevie said in a hushed tone, looking down again "But I am keeping the baby and I already feel so unwell, so I am checking myself into rehab today!" She gulped.
Christine nodded and was so nervous for Stevie "Honey this is terrible, are you really sure, what if I help you quit, rehab seems so scary, I thought times about going but I think I would kill myself in there!"
"But rehab is there to help me, help my baby, how can it be bad?" Stevie asked unsure now.
"Just my opinion love, no one you know in there, its scary even for a crazy bitch like myself, I still would need someone, not just people putting me in a straight jacket and electrocuting me!" Christine cringed and Stevie felt sick again, wondering if Christine was right about rehab.
She felt so lost and confused and just started crying hysterically "I don't know what to do!" She wailed falling to her knees, crying more.
