Drowning Myself In You

Ricky POV

Right now I'm sitting in my room, drunk off my ass. I've had about 7 shots of Vodka, 4 glasses of whiskey, 8 beers, and 2 glasses of rum.

You might be wondering why I'm doing this. It's because I have no one to stop me, my parents don't care what I do. They're to busy arguing to care about me.

They just got a divorce and it's been really hard on me. My mom hasn't moved out yet, so I have to be here all the time with constant arguing.

My mom's already remarried to some guy named Todd. She hasn't moved out yet but she's going to soon. My dad is happy with my teacher Ms. Jenn but I can tell that he still misses my mom. I mean, they were together for 20 years, what do you expect. Those feelings don't just go away, even when they cheat on you.

I just can't believe my mom, she's been cheating on my dad for over 2 years. She didn't even try to fix the marriage, my dad said he wanted a divorce and my mom couldn't of been happier. She got married about 2-3 months after the divorce.

I heard a light tapping on my window. I looked over and saw Nini. Shit. I forgot she was coming over tonight. I go over to open the window and almost fall on my way there. She looks at me weirdly and then comes in.

"Ricky, are you okay?" She went to sit on the bed. "Ricky what is all of this!" She picked up
the bottle of Vodka.

"It's Vodka." She looked at me sadly.

"Ricky, why?"

"Why not? It's not like my parents care that I'm drinking." She came up to me.

"But Ricky. I care. This could be really bad, you could get addicted." She put her hands on my cheeks. "Promise me, you will stop drinking."

"I promise." I couldn't look at her. I don't know if I can stop.

"Look at me and say it." She pulled my chin so I would at her eyes. I hesitated. "Say it."

"I...I can't." She looked up sad. I could see tears forming. She's trying to hold them back.

"Ricky, come on. It can't be that bad." I walked over to me bedroom door and opened it. Yelling and things breaking is all you could hear. "Ricky, I'm so sorry." She came and hugged me.

"I don't know if I can live with this anymore."

"Ricky, I know it's hard. But you have to stop drinking. It won't help anything, it's only gonna make things worse. Trust me. Now look me in the eyes and promises you'll stop."

"I promise." I looked up at her. "I promise."

"Good, now come lay down with me and we'll watch a movie." She laid down on the bed opening her arms for me.

"I have a better idea." I laid down next to her and pulled her on top of me. I pulled her chin and kissed her. We kissed for a while before I fell asleep.

That was a month ago. And here I am, drinking again as Nini is yelling at me.

"You promises you would stop, how could you do this to me?"

"Do this to you? What am I doing to you? I'm the one who's drinking."

"But I'm the one who has to deal with a drunk Ricky."

"Then maybe you should just leave."

"Maybe I will." She started walking towards my window.

"Wait, you're serious?"

"I just...need some space. Not for long, just to think things through. I suggest you do the same." She climbed out my window as I went downstairs to get coffee.
