When I first created this I had no idea what this was about to be quite frank and I do NOW! AHAHAHA

K, so girl meets boy kinda story except somewhat different.

They meet at the beach one day at night to get away from whatever they might have been through and gradually, over the span of many nights of meeting and days of dreaming they fall in love with the other. The problem is that the main guy character is an alcoholic and is afraid of losing her since he was struggling to go cold turkey. His anxiety builds up and the drinking gets even worse - eventually getting so drunk that he walks out into the road one night and ends up in a car crash. The girl hears the crash while she was waiting for him at the beach as per usual and goes to see what was wrong only to see a broken man with his inner demons getting the best of him.

Okay HERE'S where I got my problem with the story. I had no clue whether to keep him alive or kill him off.

If he survived then the girl would help him get sober promising it didn't matter what it took, admitting her feelings for him in the process and he reciprocates them. And he does get sober and they lead an incredibly happy life together. I guess it would've given hope to kick any addictions a reader might have and that it can get better if you try but you could end up risking your life if you don't just try no matter the difficulty.

If he died it would've had more morale and symbolism, I guess? It would mean the girl is obviously left all alone but told of his history of alcoholism and he was in that country to try and kick his addiction by going out and having fun. She's broken hearted that it completely went under her nose and feels like she could've stopped it but comes to terms that she couldn't have. The thing is if you avoid your problems by drinking them away they won't really go away - they'll come back to bite you in the butt and potentially hurt everyone around you. Plus it also teaches that not every battle can be won, especially the ones against yourself unless you reach out for help.

If it sounds like a great story I don't think I'm going t write it as I've no clue what it's like to be addicted to alcohol or become sober from it. I would feel absolutely horrible if I got anything wrong in how the mindset of being chained to your inner demons works nor how to describe it. There's a reason English teachers always say 'write what you know'. 

This was exceedingly long >.< CRINGE 

I'm tired now. Bai.
