❝ it wasn’t intended to be deep. ❞ but he’s kind of proud about it now, considering the reaction he got from the other. he takes a seat next to him, catching the bottle as it’s tossed to him, and doesn’t even do the kind thing of raising it back, because he’s already got the top open and a good portion down his throat. ❝ she’s, like– i don’t know. her stomach is bothering her. if it’s, like.. possible for a dog to look pale, she looks pale. all she wants to do is lay on me, and she’s like, a year old rottweiler, so sometimes it’s easier said than done. ❞ if she doesn’t get better within the next day or so, he’s going to have to bring her to the vet. ❝ i’m really– tryin’ to be better. i’m trying to be better for myself, but i’m trying to be better for her. she’s the only one for me, and i guess it took three months in hell to really sink in. ❞
he listens quietly, eyes widening as he watches the other drink the liquid ; he’s only ninety percent sure he wouldn’t die if he drunk that much that quickly. raising a brow, elwood tips his head back, nose scrunching as he swallows the vodka down ; relishing in the burn that travels down his throat. ❛ – should ‘ave her checked out, man. s’not sounding … healthy, m’sure it’s gonna be fine. is the – clinginess out of character for her? ❜ his next words impress him ; and his expression shows it, nodding before he hums softly. for someone who’s own life is a chronic mess, he really shouldn’t be handing out advice to anyone. ❛ … you’ve already taken a further step than most. admitting and understanding that it’s you you need to get better for is key, brian. you can’t .. base your validity on the opinion of someone else. i don’t doubt daxton will love you either way ; but it’s you who’s – hurting, and it’s you who’ll benefit most from it. ❜
