Skylar's POV ~

A week later.

  I was in the kitchen making breakfast quickly since I could hear Jeremy hurling upstairs.

DIng-Dong

I sigh and go to the door.

"Olivia?"

"Skylar. Where have you been? What the hell? I haven't heard from you in a week." she says coming in.

"I'm sorry."

"Skylar, What the hell? I've been worried."

"Look- I'm sorry but I can't do this right now. My parents are out there trying to find the ones responsible for this. I have to take care of my brother who is a mess by the way and I- I haven't showered in 2 days. " I say going back into the kitchen and cook.

 "I can help. Just tell me what you need help with." I stop what I'm doing and look up at her

 "I don't need help! What is the point if-- I'm not doing anything. I'm useless. I'm an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink since the incident and I'm going ballistic so please. Please!"

 "What do you want me to do!"

 "Leave! I need you to leave." I yell not watching my words. 

 "Liv- I'm-" 

"No. I got it," she says and leaves. I sigh and quickly finish making Jeremy food and grab a bottle of whiskey.

I knock on his door and go in. He's asleep so I just put his plate on his dresser with a note and take the bottle for myself since he wouldn't be needing it now. 

I go back downstairs and sit on the couch drinking the bottle.

I sigh.

Fuck.

How mad is Liv right now?

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I finish the bottle and drop it onto the floor and watching how it rolls and hits the table in front of the TV.

I took a nap and when I woke up It was nighttime. 

I looked at what time it was and it was almost 2 am. Our parents weren't here yet. 

I went upstairs and saw Jeremy eating.

"That's lunch."

"Go away." his voice hoarse. I sigh.

"don't take your pills with alcohol again," I say and close the door.

I go into my room and was determined to take a shower today. I was almost naked when I heard a thud from Jeremy's room.

I run and he was drunk out of his mind and tumbling.

"Oh god." I gran as I try to pick him up and lay him on the bed.

I got a bucket out from underneath his bed and gave him water.

"I'm sorry..." he whispers before passing out.

hey guys, I figured yall deserved an update even if it was looking overdue.

yall- I'm so sorry about me not updating. I'm having big trouble trying to write this book because I'm just not feeling it anymore but I'm determined to at least finish volume 1 since that was how I was gonna break into 2 or 3 volumes.

I am going to try to finish volume 1 which ends in chapter 20. I'll try not to give yall a big cliffhanger since depending on how it goes I might drop this book.

Thank you so much for reading.

I love you guys and check out my other books if you haven't.
