“Look mom, it’s chill. I’m fine. See?” He did a quick spin on his heels. It was 2 am, his mom’s apartment was closer than his own, and less-than-sober Gerry figured that Carol would be asleep. He had not expected her to be awake, watching television on the couch that he was trying to crash on. He had also not expected to trip as he did, raking his arm across the ground to catch his fall. He reeked of alcohol. And he had mud all across his pants from the fall. “I swear- I’m doing better. This is the first time, like, all week.” He said dejectedly. Gerry was disappointed in himself, frequently. But tonight was the first night in..several days, that he had gone out.
