Tea? Yeah? Dean? Tell me we have something to drink. Drink, drink? Well, I don't mean water. I went into the kitchen to find my roommate Dean fumbling about. I don't think we do.

What happened to the vodka? He glared at me suspiciously, hand on his hip. I didn't drink it. Girl, you can be honest with me. It's been a hell of a week. I am being honest with you. I didn't drink it. But if I remember correctly, didn't she bring a bottle with you over to that party?

Hang out? Not a party. And that was a while ago. I haven't loved the house at all this week. His eyes softened. Hey, I told you to. I'm not blaming you. I wanted to be here for you.

And he was. Dean had taken time off to stay home with me. I had to call out after visiting my brother Blair in the hospital. He was in a coma. Drunk driving accident. Not his fault, but he was paying for it regardless. Dean, do you really think I'd be drinking right now? Eh, I wouldn't be mad if you were. I didn't take the bottle. I don't know where it is. Remember which one of us has strange men over from time to time? He blushed. Sometimes I need to unwind, and I never had anyone over until you were sleep. Dean, I don't care. I'm just saying, blame them. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just asking.

Wait, are you going out? No. No. No. I was going to have another one of my strange men over tonight. After we watched a movie, though, I wouldn't interrupt our time together. Really? This guy is important. He's not like the others. No, I mean, it's fine, but you don't have have to keep me company. I'm not going to leave you alone right now. It's been six days. Sure, but I've seen how you've been. And how have I been? I don't want to leave you alone right now. Plus, we're not done with our John Waters Marathon. A dirty shame is one of my favorites. And I appreciate that, but I... I think you should have fun with your boy toy. You don't have to wait till I go to bed. Okay, first off, not a boy toy.

A serious contender for my heart. Uh-huh. And secondly, What are you going to do? Sit in your room all depressed like? No, no. Maybe I'll... Maybe I'll go out somewhere. I went into the living room and flopped onto the couch. I don't like that.

What? You leaving. You don't even know where I'm going. I don't think you should be going anywhere. I'm a grown woman, Dean. I get it, girl. But the way you've been... I can't keep watching surreal, raunchy comedies and sleeping all day.

It's wearing on me. Okay? Where are you going to go? He slid my legs to the side, forcing me to sit up, so he now had a seat. I don't know. Out. Are you going to drink? Probably not. Are you going to Uber?

If I drank. Did someone text you? No. You want to go to the casino, don't you? I really haven't thought about it. Ye. Dean, I'm being serious. I was thinking about getting out earlier.

And now that you have a friend coming over, it kind of seals it for me. He's not coming over until later, and I can't. Cancancel E? Seriously, I love watching surreal raunchy comedies with you. No, no, don't cancel. You've done a lot for me already. Are you going to the hospital? I didn't even think about that. And the fact that I didn't made me feel bad. I'd gone two days ago, but I really wanted to go every day. So why did it slip my mind? Uh, yeah.

Don't visiting hours end at eight. Do they? I think they do. I'd call. Okay, I will in a minute. But Dean called my last. love. E, you're not fooling me. I know you're gonna go play cards. I just need to get out. Are you sure it's the right time? Hey, I cut back. Why don't you stay here with us? And be a cock block? You won't. No, I'm gonna go out tonight. I need to. I promise I won't drink and I promise I'll be careful. And you can call me at any time and I'll come grab you. Wherever you are. You know that.

I nodded and stood. Okay. And if you do decide to drink and don't want to bother me, you better call an Uber. I will! After grabbing my code, I went back into the living room to get my shoes. Dean hadn't moved from his spot. He looked upset. Dean, stop worrying so much. Even though I was facing the door as I put on my shoes, I could feel his glaring.

Stop worrying? Did you forget the talks we had the last four nights? I turned to face him. I'm better. Yeah? Yeah, those talks helped. But he didn't seem to believe me as he rubbed his chin and leaned back. After my shoes were on, I faced him again and smiled. He forced a smile back.

I need this. He didn't respond as I grabbed my keys off the hook. E. Yeah? If you do go to the casino, don't get crazy, okay? Remember, rent is due next week and both of us just took off work. Okay. Yeah.

Promise? We can't be late again. I promise. Okay. Bye, Dee. Hope you score tonight.
