The next two weeks were difficult. We stayed in Kole's mother's mansion and slept in different rooms. He hardly communicated with me but when I did see him he was rough. He didn't look himself at all, bags all round his eyes and paler than usual. He was rapidly losing weight too.

When I asked Angela if I should move out, she insisted I stay, she was my support system now. Kelly had noticed her brother's changed and she seemed to really struggle with it, she got over this by burying herself in work. She renovated The Hound, and bought all kinds of new drinks for He bar, she was also looking for more properties to buy.

In all of that, I hardly saw her either. So my only friend left, was Angela. I hadn't seen Charlie once since his fight with Kole. Angela told me he left town but I was starting to suspect that this wasn't your average family and that 'left town' may be code for something.

I'd figured the Delmarno's power must be immense for Charlie just to run like that. Nonetheless, I didn't miss him. Charlie was just a friend I knew that now, I honestly wished I'd figured that out sooner, maybe I wouldn't have lost Kole.

Mine and Charlie's little thing was short lived, that's for sure, but at least it taught me that my love for Kole wasn't like any other. If only I could prove that to him.

After giving myself a few minutes to wake up, I sat up and jumped in the shower, doing the usual things you do in the shower you know... wash.

By the time I got out, Gerard was in my room. "Sorry, Miss, your breakfast." He chimed, placing a full tray of deliciousness on my bedside table. "Ugh, you're a blessed Ger!" I sighed, clambering over my bed to reach the croissants with my towel wrapper around me.

Gerard was an old man that had been hired to work round the house, along with three maids for cleaning, he was like the butler. He'd taken an especial liking to me, not in that way, but kind of fathering me, I'd never had that before.

"You enjoying?" He smiled as I wolfed down the two croissants in my hands. "Yes! The food you make is amazing Ger." I complimented. "And just for you." He grinned.

I choked a little then, "you don't cook for anyone else in the house?" I asked. "No ma'am. But nobody else is as stressed as you, granted miss Kelly but she is so indulged in work I prefer not to interrupt." He informed. I sighed.

"Don't worry about her, Miss Molly, she's a big woman and she can handle herself!" He assured. My eyes flickered for a moment as Kole came into my mind. "Don't worry about him either." Chuckled Gerard.

"I can't not, I don't know where we are in our relationship or if we're in a relationship at all." I sobbed. "Now, don't feel sorry for yourself. Yes you hurt the man, but I have known this family long enough to know that Kole has these downfalls often. He'll be back on his high horse in no time!" He comforted, pouring a glass of water from the jug he had always put on my bedside table and leaving.

Of course, Gerard had known him longer, but I didn't want to see Kole in pain every morning. And every single day, we'd try to reach him and he'd just leave. Picked up in a Porsche.

Sulkily, I finished my breakfast and joined Angela downstairs. We had a laugh and a joke with Kelly for a few minutes and Luiz was even in a good mood. Until Kole walked in.

Hearts racing, we all turned to look at him. "What?" He Snapped, stumbling over to the island to grab an apple. "Morning son, how are you?" Asked Angela. "Peachy." He Mumbled before sinking his teeth into the apple.

I couldn't even breathe, I was face to face with him. He'd only passed me recently, so wrapped up in whatever world he was in that he hadn't noticed me. He clocked me. He leaned into me and I seen his heart crumble through then dark eyes that had once been filled with so much light.

"Why?" He sobbed. "Kole..." I started but I was cut off by Kole. Forcefully, he smashed an apple against the wall. "I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING! YOU'RE IN THIS HOUSE BECAUSE OF ME!" He bellowed. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I could see that he was high too.

Luiz spring forward, and Kole stumbled back to look at him. "No need father. I'm done with the bitch." He grumbled as he staggered out of the door, slamming it behind him.

Immediately, I started sobbing. Kelly left, probably returning back to work. "He didn't mean it dear." Angela assured, pulling me into a hug and rubbing my arm. "Wha- What's... happened to him?" I sniffed. "This is just Kole's Inner Addict, love. He's just feel back into old habits. We'll get him back." She comforted, running her hand up and down my arm in a motherly manner.

I had never been heartbroken before but that was it. I felt that. I did that to him. The realist man I had even known and I broke him.

Seeing Molly made everything ten times worse, I knew I'd been on a downwards spiral yet I didn't care. Molly felt gone, she felt different. I didn't know how to explain it... so I drowned it in drugs. The perfect drug. Her. Molly... well MDMA but Molly was it's nickname, a great fit, Molly would break my heart so Molly would cover my pain. I was drowning in it, But my father had always told me the way to get over pain was avoid facing it, focus on something else. I had nothing else to focus on, so I chose Molly, forcing myself to drown in my sorrow until I got that next pill.

After leaving the house, I went to see Tyrano. "YOOOOO Ty!" I cheered as I entered his tiny little bungalow. "Yo G." he grunted, already high. "Where my shit?" I asked. "You look like death, bro. Its in the kitchen." he replied. "I will 'til I get that down me." I chimed, waltzing into the kitchen to get my bag of pills from above the fridge. Popping one down my throat, I collapsed onto the sofa and waited for it to kick in. "You been back to your apartment yet?" questioned Tyrano. "Nah, Marve brought me some clothes that's it." I answered. "You ever gonna shower?" teased Tyrano. "I'll shower here." I smirked, they were starting to kick in finally.

Within half an hour, I was up on Tyrano's oak coffee table singing and dancing to all my favourite songs that were playing on Ty's tiny smart tv. "Bro, im surprised you can call that a smart tv is looks like its from the 80s." I taunted. "We don't all come with billions like you, ya rich lil' bastard." joked Ty. "Perks of being rich... PARTAY!" I cried, swinging myself back. "Watch my table." demanded Ty. "See.... im your boss. I don't have to watch shi- AH" I started, but before I could finish my sentence I fell off the table and landed straight on my backside. I was too numb to feel the pain so instead I started laughing.

I blacked out. I woke up hours later, in some hotel room with two girls by my side. "Did I... did I have both?" I questioned myself. "Nah!" I heard a voice grunt from the end of the bed. Tyrano sat up. "I had the brunette." he mumbled then collapsed back down. "oh, so I got the blonde?... cool." I grinned, shuffling out of the bed to go get the water.

"Who paid for this?" I asked my passed out friend. "You." he grunted. "Ha, of course." I smirked. My head was banging, i'd obviously drank too much. My girlfriend kissed my best friend. And I needed another pill to forget it, so yet again I filled myself with Molly. That moment was when i decided to disappear.
