Only way to forget the demons in my head

Dorian's Gray Room

Dorian: Nicky dear, you just got back and now it seems that you wish to die from having too much to drink.

Nick: Yes Dorian, i do. It is the only way to forget the demons inside my head.

D: (stares at him) You are a mess, my friend.

N: Hmmm. In a nutshell.

D: You should be resting.

N: If i did all i can think of is hell.

D: Hmmm. I do understand you though. I do keep my own personal hell which is a portrait of myself. I would probably be the same as you right now if i've been forced to stay inside it the same time as you did.

N: (emptied his glass and asked for more)

D: Is there anything i can do to help?

N: Just keep pouring me a drink Dorian.

D: Will do. Do you want some company? You know there are lots of witches out there who would want to.

N: Why the hell not Dorian? And do join us if you wish.

D: Some other time maybe. But i will have them fetch you after you finish this drink.

Sabrina: Dorian! (just arrived)

D(went to Sabrina's place in a corner): Sabrina! You know this is a place only for warlocks, right?

S: Oh get over yourself Dorian, I have been here many times.I just called you here for a drink. Besides, i was here hours ago doing some reading.

D: Don't you have a library for that?

S: I know, but there's something about your place that makes me so much comfortable. Now may i have a drink, please?

D: Hmmm... Alright then. But only because there are not many people tonight.

S: (smiles) by the way, who was that drunk guy you were speaking to earlier? New in town?

D: (he just stared at her)

S: What?

D: Nothing. Here's your drink. The usual. And he is not new here. He is actually a friend.

S: Oh? I've never met him before, here or at the Academy. Is it just here for a visit?

D: Why don't you go and ask him?

S: Hmmm.

(Nick gets dragged by 2 witches that Sabrina remembers she saw from the Academy)

S: There is something familiar about him. Btw, how did i get a usual drink? I don't remember how'd that happen.

D: You do realize that you spend a lot of time here even when you are NOT ALLOWED, right?

S: (just rolled her eyes) Awwww. I'm not growing in on you, am I?

D: (smirked) Not a chance.

S: Really? Coz i feel like the only reason that you

keep saying that I'm not allowed is because you have a policy for it.

D: Don't push it, little witch.

S: (rolled her eyes)

D: (sees that Sabrina's cup was already empty) Another?

S: No, not tonight. Thanks Dorian. And till next time. (leaves)

D: (rolls eyes) What makes you think there will be a next time?

S: (turned back to Dorian and winked)

D: If only you knew dear Sabrina.

The next morning ~

Nick (wakes up with a headache)

Ambrose: Oh good, you're awake.

Nick: Ambrose.

A: I teleported the ladies you were with earlier. And, I come bearing good news. That is if you want to get better. Cause i'm not letting you near my cousin like that.

Nick: What do you mean near your cousin? Ambrose i cannot go near her, as much as I'd like to again. Being near her makes me feel like I'm back there again. I feel like i will wake up one day and this is all just a nightmare. Hell, sometimes I'm not even sure this is real. And what's the use, she doesn't remember me anyway.

A: Well, if you don't want to, at least go back to the Academy mate and try to continue living at least.

N: I'd rather drink and party myself to death Ambrose.

A: (a bit angry) Do you really not value your life anymore? Look, I get it, I may not have felt your suffering but at least try to help yourself. If my cousin still remembers you, do you think she would like you this way?
N: I'd rather she hate me than be with me, Ambrose. Because the one thing that kept me sane down there was her and yet, I'm afraid of being with her because of what I might do to her.

A: Nick, that wasn't you.

N: I can't Ambrose.

(silence)

A: Then at least try. Go back to the Academy. You were one of the best students. If you no longer want to be with my cousin, then so be it. But at least do it for yourself. It wasn't only me who saved you down there. It was the whole coven. Here's a concoction the wierd sisters brewed. Drink it. It will give you some peace of mind for a couple of days. (leaves)

N: (just stared at the concoction and again tears fell down from his eyes)
