My Wish *the entire story changed lol if you read this before it's different*

Chapter 7 *edited*

Neil sat alone in his cold apartment. So much had happened the past few days, it was hard to keep track of it all. There was one important thing he remembered: he was going to try to get off the painkillers.
Yes, it had been a lingering thought in the past. But now, he had a bigger motivation. The problem was, he didn't want to look even worse in front of Eva, and he knew that with a mixture of pain and withdrawal, it wouldn't be pretty.
The first bit was okay, he was starting to feel a bit sick and he had been laying down all day, the next parts just got worse and worse as it went on. He was hugging his knees waiting for the pain to go away, but knowing it wouldn't. This is what his life would be like without the painkillers. This feeling, always. He put on music, tried to play some video games, and tried to eat, but in the end he couldn't take it a more. He took the bottle and dumped some pills into his hand, he didn't pay much attention to how many until after he swallowed them.
"I'll be fine," he said to himself, slowly feeling some of the pain disappear. He felt like he could finally breathe. He got up and began playing a random game on his switch. He got through quite a few levels before he started to feel sick and light headed. He ran to the bathroom and started throwing up. His heart started pounding. How many pills did he take? Surely he didn't take enough to overdose. He thought back to the weight of the pills in his hand, ignoring it, and swallowing them with a gulp of water. It was then he heard Eva calling his name, and the rest was a blur.
