You just have to brush off the pain.

Cassandra,
I stepped back from his arms, "Stop Rodney. Just stop. You always say that, you never change. I don't believe a single word you say. Relationships are supposed to be based on trust, and there is none of that in ours," I said, more tears escaping my eyes. Why was this so hard? Because I still loved him, that's why.

Joshua,
"Why would you do this?" I asked as I stared at her, sort of frozen in my spot. What the hell was I supposed to do? "Darcy, I can't believe you would do something like this! What can I do?" I asked. I didn't think doing anything would help, but it was worth a shot. I never imagined being put in a situation like this.

Rodney;
I stared at her, not knowing what to say. This was all my fault, the drinking. I want to stop, for her, but it's so hard. "Is this really want you want to do?"I asked quietly. Suddenly, I wasn't drunk anymore. But my chest was hurting bad from the fact that she was leaving me for real this time.

Darcy;
I was angry now. Why was he getting so shocked so mad by this? I pulled my arm away from the water grabbing a towel and pressing it tightly to my arm. "I want you to stop drinking,"I stated simply. I've got his attention with this now so once he stops drinking I'll quit cutting myself....maybe..

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I looked at him blankly for a moment, "For now, yes," I said with a small nod. "Until you decide to get your priorities straight, I see no reason for me to be stopping you from doing what you love." I took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Rodney," I whispered as I made my way out of the room.

Joshua,
Damn, I knew she was going to say that. I swallowed as I looked at her, "I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe Darcy," I said quietly. Was this my wake up call? After all these years I needed someone hurting themselves to make me realize what I'm doing is wrong? I was fucked up.
X_________
I think for a twist the guys can become sober but now Cassandra can be hooked on pills and Darcy can be a cutter. Now the girls can have the issues lol

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I took a deep breathe in as she started walking away,"Cassandra,"I said waiting for her to turn around to look at me. "I love you,"I said once our eyes had connected. If she said she loves me back then there's hope, if not....then I don't know what I'll do.

Darcy;
I felt my eyes tear up just from all the emotions and shit that's been going on. I hate crying in front of him but it just all spilled out. I slid down to the ground cradling my arm as I just...cried.
-----*
Yes! xD

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I watched him as he spoke, "I love you too," I said softly. That's why I was doing this, because of how much I loved him. I made my way down the stairs as I grabbed my keys, my hands shaky as I took them. I looked around the house one last time before I left. I got into my car and sat there, where the hell was I going?

Joshua,
I was taken back when she started crying. I wanted to comfort her but I didn't know if she'd push me away. "Darcy, it's okay," I said soothingly as I sat down next to her. I put my arm around her and pulled her close. I knew she wanted the comfort whether she liked it or not.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I stared at the place that Cass once stood. I sat down on the bed, shocked by this all. Where was she going to go? I sighed as I burried my head in my hands. My life was fucked up and the best thing about it just walked out on me.

Darcy;
I melted into the comfort that Josh provided for me. I felt so confused about what I was doing just to get him to stop. "I want everything to go back to how it use to be,"I said quietly through my tears.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
(Do we want to skip to later on? I think Cassandra will already have the addiction but she just has a good way at hiding it. But how are we going to bring them back to each other?)

Joshua,
I rubbed her arm soothingly, "I know you do, and so do I. If my drinking is bad enough that you would hurt yourself then it's not worth it. You mean more to me than the world Darcy," I said.
X________
I'm going to take a quick shower!

[lauren.]

Rodney;
(Alrighty. Maybelike Rodney can sweep her off her feet
somehow. Idk how though.)

Darcy;
It felt like my tears came faster as he said this. I just nodded not wanting to get chocked up on my words. I looked down at my arm pulling the towel away but it hasn't stopped bleeding.
---*
Okie dokie!

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
(Yeah that could work! But hmm...she could be staying at a hotel for now and he could figure out where she's staying. (This may be creepy to some people) but she could be coming home from something and he could be in her room waiting for her, and just woo her back with his words and all the jazz. xD)

Joshua,
I looked down at her arm, "We need to bandage that up. The blood needs to clot. I don't want you losing too much blood," I said softly as I got up, opening the medicine cabinet. I grabbed some disinfectant and gauze. "This is going to sting, but it will help," I said as I gently took her arm and carefully wiped the wound with the disinfectant.

[lauren.]

Rodney
(Yeah! Soundsgood! He can like bring candles and crap haha)

Darcy;
I gasped at the pain, biting my lip. I managed to stop crying bit the pain hut. I need to quit this. But..it might be really hard.
---*
I've got a class till 1:45. So I'll have to reply after that.
Presentations are still going on and stuff so yeah haha.
Ill reply when it's over! (:

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
(Haha okay!)
I was coming back from the grocery store, only because I was running low on pills, and some other none important items. My hands were a little shaky as I pressed the button on the elevator. I had become hooked on pills, only because it was my go to comfort. I waited in the elevator, my mind wandering.

Joshua,
I glanced at her, then slowly wrapped her wrist in the gauze. "Please don't do this Darcy. I'm so sorry for my issues ever leading to this. I never knew it would get this far," I said with a small sigh.
X_______
Alrighty!

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I had managed to find where Cassandra was staying. It has been months since I've Sen her and I've also been sober since she has left me. I was in her room setting up some candles and a thing of flowers % also some dinner. I was nervous.

Darcy;
I swallowed as I stared at my bandaged arm. I didn't know if I could quit honestly. There's something exciting about it. I closed my eyes then opened them to look at him, nodding.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I walked through the hallway to my room as I fumbled for my key. I chewed on my lip before I opened my door. I looked ahead of me and stared. Right before me was Rodney. But it couldn't be. Was I dreaming? I dropped my bag to the floor as I swallowed, "Rodney?" I said quietly.

Joshua,
I helped Darcy up off the floor, pulling her to me. "I really think you need some sleep. We all need some sleep. I'll change Darcy, I promise," I said as I kissed her head.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I looked to see Cass standing in the doorway. "Hey,"I said smiling at her. I glanced around then back at Cass. "How have you been?"I asked.

Darcy;
I nodded and pulled away from him, going into the bedroom and crawling onto it without even changing clothes. I don't really think I'm even physically here at the moment.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I completely ignored his question as I jumped into his arms. "Oh my god Rodney. I've missed you so much!" I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around his neck, completely overjoyed.

Joshua,
I watched as she just went into bed. Something was definitely not okay with her. This was all my fault; I felt so horrible. I was going to change, I was going to change for Darcy.
(We can skip to later on if you want!)
