---Lucas' POV---
I showed up to Sabrina's house. She told me she needed to tell me something. I knocked on the door. Ro answered the door.

"Hey," Ro said. "Sabrina told me you were coming over. She's in the studio filming."

"Okay," I stated. "I'll wait here." I walked over an sat down on the couch. Sabrina walked into the room.

"Hey." Sabrina stated. "Glad you can come over."

"Hey." I said.

"I'll give you two some privacy." Ro stated. Rosanna walked out of the room. I guess she was stopping Justine from going in due to the bickering from the other room.

"So?" I asked. "What's wrong?"

"YouTube contacted me." Sabrina stated. "They want me to have a YouTube original."

"That's great!" I cheered. "But why did you have to tell me this?"

"I have a one year contract." Sabrina replied. "This involves me potentially moving to New York City for half the year."

"Oh." I stated. That was all I could say.

"I know that look." Sabrina stated. "You're upset about this." I sighed.

"Couldn't you just stay here?" I asked.

"Abby tried." Sabrina stated. "However, YouTube wouldn't budge."

"She should of tried harder." I snarled. "Why did Rosanna keep her?"

"Abby's become family," Sabrina stated. "She tried so hard. You can't blame her."

"If you were my client," I shouted. "I would of fought harder! I would of fought so hard, I'd start bleeding!"

"Lucas!" Sabrina shouted. "What is wrong with you?! What done is done! It can't be changed! You, of all people, should know that!"

"I just lost my dad!" I shouted. "I lost my mom! Now I'm losing you! My best friend! All because the family manager got careless! Of course, you could of fought it! How can you guys be so stupid?!" Justine stormed into the room. I fucked up.

"Hey!" Justine shouted. "Don't you dare shout at my daughter and don't you dare blame Abby for this!" Justine grabbed my arm and tossed me out of the house and slammed the door. I sighed and walked home. I shouldn't of done that.

---Justine's POV---
I slammed the door and sighed. Sabrina  sat down and began crying. I walked over to my daughter and hugged her. I feared this would come. Her heart became broken and there is nothing I can do to fix it. I was furious with Lucas, but I had to push that aside for my little girl. She needed her Mama J.

"I'm sorry Mama J." Sabrina sobbed. I rubbed Sabrina's back.

"It isn't your fault." I stated. "It's nobody's fault. I couldn't blame the Food Network for my alcoholism when your Mama Ro broke up with me and I couldn't blame your Mama Ro for my alcoholism because that was how I chose to cope. Lucas chose to cope by shouting. He needs help."

"You never told me that you drank so much." Sabrina stated.

"It was a long story." I stated. "And I used it in hopes of fixing my broken heart."

"Tell me." Sabrina stated. "Please?"

~Flashback~
March 2021

"One more glass of Rye and ginerale." I pleaded. The bar tender slid it over to Justine. For two weeks, I drowned myself in alcohol. Five glasses of Rye and Gingerale at the bar every night, then go home and drink a glass of wine. Justine wouldn't get out of bed the next day till 2 p.m., and she'll work till 9 p.m. then go on repeat.

"I'm going to have to cut you off after this." The bartender stated.

"But-" I complained.

"You came every night." The bartender stated. "Something is clearly bothering you."

"The girl I love," i stated. "She broke up with me." I began to cry. Jenna came running in to find me.

"Come on." Jenna stated. "We need to get you home."

The next afternoon, I woke up hung over. I stumbled into the kitchen to get myself a glass of water. Jenna walked out, then sat across from me.

"Please don't be mad." I groaned. Jenna sighed.

"I can't be mad," Jenna stated. "However, you need help."

"I don't want to live anymore," I cried. "Not without Ro."

"Abby says she is miserable without you too." Jenna stated.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah," Jenna replied. "You two are perfect together. If you were Sunday brunch, she'd be eggs and bacon. If you were hot chocolate, she'd be the winter night you both stay in. If you were the candy, she would be the wrapper, and if you were a marshmellow, she would be the grahm cracker."

"Did you just quote her song?" I asked.

"Yes I did," Jenna stated. "But do you get my point?" I nodded.

"Now how do I get her back?" I asked. Jenna raised her eyebrow.

"Stay sober for a week." Jenna stated. "Then call Abby. She has an idea." I nodded.

~Flashback Ends~

"You never told me this." Ro stated. I looked up at her.

"I didn't want you to blame yourself." I stated. Ro walked over, sat down next to me, and kissed me.

"What happened with Lucas?" Ro asked.

"He got furious." Sabrina stated. "And do I mean furious. Mama J had to toss him out of the house." Ro sighed.

"He was probably upset." Ro stated.

"He over reacted," I stated. "He screamed at Sabrina, called Abby stupid, said we didn't try hard enough." Ro sighed.

"I knew he wouldn't take it well," Ro stated. "But this is extreme."

"I know." Sabrina stated. Ro grabbed her keys.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I figure some ice cream will help." Ro stated. Sabrina wiped her eyes.

"You haven't bought ice cream in a while." I stated.

"We need that temporary band-aid." Ro stated. "Unless we give her-"

"Not alcohol." I reminded my wife. Ro nodded.

"Ice cream it is." Ro stated. "I'll be back in 10. Then we'll turn on Netflix and we can watch a movie."

"I'd like that." Sabrina stated. Ro left to go get ice cream.

"Trust me sweetie," I stated. "He's just as hurt as you are."
