Friends with Consequences ch. 17.1 (I can’t do this anymore… goodbye…)

Warning: This is a very dramatic portion of the series, and it doesn’t contain many erotic scenes. The sex will resume later on in the story. A much bigger warning: There are very sensitive topics in this story regarding drugs and mental health. Everyone ends up okay, but I don’t want to trigger any sensitive topics for my readers.

“You shouldn’t be… I don’t want you getting your hopes up after I let you down again.”

“No matter the results, I’m always proud of you. Addiction is a very tough thing to battle. Just the fact that you’re trying means the world to me.”

Linda looked up and smiled at her roommate. “How are you so sweet?”
