You just have to brush off the pain.

Rodney;
I wrapped my arms tightly around her, finally feeling complete again. I breathed in her scent as I kissed her head,"God, Cass. I've missed you so much." I pulled away, holding her at arms length so I could look into her eyes. "I'm clean, Cassandra. Ever since you left me that day... it showed me that I'm a complete selfish asshole and that I can't live without you. I love you and I want to make you happy. I want to be the one who puts that gorgeous smile on your face and be the one you lay down with at night,"I said cupping her face in my hands. "You're my life and it took you leaving to realize that. I love you baby,"I said looking into her eyes.

Darcy;
(Alrighty. How about just the next morning, lol)
I woke up curled in a ball, cradling my arm to my chest. I stared at it realizing what happened last night. I sat up, feeling a little lightheaded. I held my head with a small groan. I think I might have lost a little too much blood last night.

Cassandra,
My eyes watered at he spoke. I could tell that he had changed, and it just put my heart back together. "I love you too, Rodney. So much," I said as I pressed my lips to his. "Everyday I thought about you, and each day it tore me apart," I said, not mentioning the pill part.

Joshua,
I heard Darcy stir which caused me to move. My head throbbed, "Fuck," I mumbled as I held my head. This was one of the worst hangovers yet. I put my pillow over my head, trying to drown everything out. I think we were both pretty messed up right now.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I pressed our lips back together, kissing her passionately. "Well I'm here to make it better,"I told her as my arms tightened around her body. "I don't want to disappoint yo ever again that you have to leave me,"I said pressing our foreheads together.

Darcy;
I glanced next to me as Josh pulled his pillow over his head. I sighed quietly and got out of bed glancing down at my clothes. I took them off pulling a big tshirt on. I just wanted to be lazy all day. I went downstairs to make some coffee, wondering how the day would go.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I smiled, "That's all I ever wanted," I said softly, kissing him once more. I held into him for a little while longer, "Do you still have the house?" I asked him with a slight smile. Now I would just have to hide the pills. It wouldn't be so hard, I could just say I was sick.

Joshua,
I rolled over and stared at the ceiling once she left. Today would be the start of being sober, I think I would eventually go crazy. But I had to do this. I sat up and slowly made my way into the bathroom, taking two pain pills. I just hoped that Darcy would quit her weird cutting issue.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I nodded,"I still have the house but I'm thinking we should get off to a fresh start. Find a new cozy house, I'll go out a find a good job,"I said shrugging. I looked down at her,"I want everything to be perfect for you, for both of us,"I said kissing her forehead.

Darcy;
I walked slowly into the kitchen and began making the coffee. I crossed my arms looking around and noticed the kitchen knives. I bit my lip as I walked over to them, pulling one out and staring at the blade.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
"I would love that," I said softly, "It gets really stuffy living in a hotel," I giggled slightly. I swallowed, already feeling slightly guilty for what I was doing. "I just want to go home."

Joshua,
I let out a yawn, flinching due to my headache. I felt my throat calling for some alcohol, but I pushed it aside. I was done with that, for good. "Get your act together," I said to myself as I headed down the stairs.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I smiled,"Well I'm ready for you to come home. Would you like to eat the dinner I brought here or take it home?"I asked rubbing her arms gently.

Darcy;
I chewed on my lip as I stared at the knife, dragging my finger lightly down the blade. I don't know, something about it felt thrilling.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
"I would really like to take it home," I smiled at him before I let out a happy sigh. "I've really missed you Rodney. More than you know."

Joshua,
I made my way down the hall and Darcy caught my eye. I quickly hid around the corner. She had a knife if her hands; there was no way she would use that. I told her things would get better. I felt a lump form in my throat as I shut my eyes. Please no.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I grinned as I kissed her forehead,"I've kissed you also, every single minute of the day,"I said. I pulled away and grabbed the bag of our food and went to bloe out the candles.

Darcy;
I chewed on my lip as I glanced around to make sure Josh wasn't anywhere. He said things would get better, maybe for him. But this...has started something for me. I jumped dropping the knife as the coffee maker beeped that it was ready.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I quickly ran around the hotel grabbing all of my stuff as I threw it back into my suitcase. I went into the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet, looking at the few bottles of pills I had. I bit my lip and quickly stuffed them deep in my suitcase. Once I finished I took Rodney's hand. "Shall we?" I asked.

Joshua,
A rush of relief went through me once she dropped the knife. I waited a few seconds before I headed in. "Goodmorning," I said as I kissed her cheek. I had to play it off for now, I didn't want to give her anxiety.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I smiled and squeezed her hand,"Absolutely,"I lead her out of the hotel and to the car, taking her suitcase and putting it in the back as well as our food.

Darcy;
I gave a small smile, glancing at the knife still laying on the counter,"Good morning,"I said tucking my hair behind my ear. I grabbed some mugs to fill our coffee. I was slightly shy about what happened last night.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I got into the passengers seat sitting back in the seat as I let out a sigh. I wasn't eating nearly as much as I used to because of the pills. I just hoped he didn't notice my weight loss, and lack of eating. I was glad to be back with him, but afraid because I knew I couldn't stop.

Joshua,
I didn't mention the knife as I looked over at her, "You doing okay?" I asked her, rubbing her back. I just wanted to let her know I cared, and that I was going to be in this with her. She was my everything.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I pulled away from the hotel and headed to.our home. I reached over and took her hand, kissing the back of it. "I love you,"I said as I kept my eyes on the road.

Darcy;
I nodded,"Yeah, just...embarrassed,"I said shivering slightly at his comfort. It felt nice. I bit my lip as I made our coffees how we liked them.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
"I love you too," I smiled, glancing at him before I looked out the window. I chewed on the inside of my cheek as I watched us pass by many trees. This was going to put to the test how good I am at lying.

Joshua,
"Don't be babe. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm the one that should be embarrassed," I said with a sigh. She only did it because I was being so stupid.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I smiled and pulled up to the house. I got out grabbed our food & her suitcase. "Lets get inside,"I said as I headed inside, placing her stuff down. "I'm gonna get dinner ready,"I said kissing her forehead before heading to the kitchen.

Darcy;
I swallowed as I handed him his coffee,"But I can't believe that I did that,"I said looking down at my bandaged arm.
