"He's in there..." his friend whispers to me as I walk past him and into the room. Everything was grey, the lights flickered. Nothing was stable, everything just seemed so dark and depressing; it felt like the final moments before death finally took over.

"You..." is all he says as I walk towards him.
"No, you..." I respond in an angry whisper. "Why are you here?" He picks the cigarette from the floor and lights it up. "Because I made a promise, not only to you, but to God, your mother; and myself..." he starts laughing hysterically. I shudder at the way his laugh echoes the almost empty room. "Preciosa, why are you so in love with me?" I slam his head against the wall. "It has nothing to do with love, so don't flatter yourself; because I can easily forget all about these two years and continue my legacy as your equal in the bad way. Don't test me, remember my authority goes over yours by way too much; even at such a young age." He swallows and inhales the toxins in the nicotine blunt, then slowly breaths out the air in my face. An expression of disgust is clear on my face and he just laughs. "You're pathetic." He states while staring directly into my eyes, something which he knows I can't handle.

"And you're an ungrateful asshole. Tell me something G., what exactly do you get out of this?" At this point my irritation is already too much. He pushes me away and I fall back on the floor. "Nothing. Why are you still here? Did you honestly think that I was the same person that you met two years ago. No, and it's really stupid. As if I cared enough about everything, as if I cared about anything. I've been nice enough to not hurt you. Trust me, you sometimes made me wanna rip my insides out while stabbing my eyes out with a fork." He spits out. "Likewise, the feeling is deeply mutual."

"Hmm..." he murmurs as he walks up to me and grabs me by the back of my neck. "You've changed." He whispers. I push him away but he only takes this as an opportunity to wrap his arms around me. "Really? Did you really think that this was gonna work?" I laughed sarcastically. He shakes his head in negation.

"No, but our daughter would've. You're better off without me, and so is she; after all there is a reason why she isn't here." He spits out angrily, I slap his face making him bow his head down. "Don't you ever speak of my daughter that way again, ever." He laughs and shakes his head. "Did you really think that we could be a nice happy family, look at me, I'm not the man you once knew anymore."

"Look at me! I've changed more than anyone has in these two families in these past years. I suffered each and every single one of all your mishaps, the pain and the agony I went through; was enough to kill me. And yet, here I am. Alive, still standing. I could've died, but you saved me. Now stop being a baby and get up. Start fighting the real enemy here, yourself, your mind." I kick his stomach and he sits up only to be smacked to the floor by me once again.

"I am done wasting my time with you, you wanna be an asshole and a slump for the rest of your life, done. Fine by me, but I'm not letting you corrupt those poor kids out there, waiting for your recovery; while all you do is stay here and drink and smoke your problems away. I'm done. You know where to find me if you ever decide to get better. Oh, and by the way; say hello to your girlfriend for me." I walk out the door and slam it shut closed behind me.

"So..." Dani asks, I shake my head. Gab just gives me a warm smile, he has hope I can tell by his teary eyes. "He's in there, somewhere but he is..."
