Andy P.O.V 

Marcus had told us what happened. He sighed and looked down.  

"She's seriously emotionally fucked up." He murmured. It was incredibly sad. She was always so happy and hyper when we were hanging out. 

"I asked her if she was alright....." Tony said quietly. 

"What'd she say?" CC said frowning. 

"Not really." He grumbled. 

"Should we do after her?" Bradey said standing up. Marcus shook his head. 

"No, she needs some space." 

Phoenix P.O.V 

It was one of those days where I knew I needed alcohol to get through it. And there was one place on campus I could find it. I walked to Carson's dorm. 

"Was up" He said opening the door. 

"Hey." I said smiling softly. His face fell a bit. 

"You alright baby girl?"  

"No....Carson I need a bottle of Jack." He sighed and sadness twinkled in his eyes. "Carson....please." I whispered. 

"Phoenix......you can't start this again." 

"It's just today!"  

"Yeah you always say that." He scoffed. I swallowed and looked down. After a minute he sighed heavily and motioned for me to come in. I nodded and came in. He went to his closet, moved his dresser, stuck a key in the trap door on the wall, opened it and I grinned. I REALLY need some of that right now. He fished out a bottle of Jack amd handed it to me. I gave him his money and he sighed heavily once again. 

"Phoenix, I hate selling this to you. I really do. I thought you were sober?" He said sitting next to me on his bed.  

"I-I-" I let out a strangled sob. "I can't handle it right now." I said through the lump in my throat. Carson gave me a concerned look. 

"What happened?" He whispered. I told him what happened, all of it. He pulled me into a tight embrace and I held in my tears. I needed to. I've been crying way to much, I need to pull it together. He kissed my forehead and let go of me. He glanced at the bottle I was clutching to my chest. 

"You be careful, don't hurt yourself." I nodded and headed out after I told him about how I was tomorrow for tour. I opened the bottle and took a lonnnnnnnng drink. I sighed and a smile settled on my face. I wasn't happy, but I always smile when Im drinking. I hid it in my jacket on the walk back to my dorm. I opened to door and quickly shut it behind me. I took the bottle out of my jacket and took a giant gulp.  

"Phoenix......Please give that to me." Katrina said saddly. Ahh fuck I forgot they were here. A goofy grin spread across my face. I chugged the rest of the bottle and handed it to her. 

"DAMN!" CC said his mouth hanging open. I just looked at him and flopped onto my bed. I was starting to feel the affects of the liquor.  

"Phoenix please no." Katrina said. Her tone broke my heart. She knows where I'm headed. I drunk myself to sleep for years and I had just stopped when I got sent here. She pulled me off my bed and dragged me out of the dorm. 

"You CAN NOT do this." tears were forming in her eyes.  

"I'm srry." I slurred.  

"No No No, no more of this. No more." She said holding up the bottle. I slid down the wall I was leaning against and put my head in my hands. Katrina sat down next to me and wrapped me in her arms.
