(3B207 AU) Teek's Major Crashout

Gator Siblings' Household, 2 AM

Teek: Ugh....kami damnit what's that noise...?
Teek shuffles out of their bed and out into the living room, noting the source of the noise is coming from the basement. They groan and grab a flashlight in a nearby drawer. As convenient as a cellphone light was, they'd rather not waste their battery on it.
Once they reached the bottom of the basement stairs, they screamed and looked away since their mother was doing things with a random stranger....again.
Teek: MA!!! IT'S 2 IN THE KAMI DAMN MORNING!!
Lilith: Eheeheehee~! Woops, sorry baby. Got a little...caught up.
Teek: Uuugh....can you at least keep it down?
Teek: [Ugh....they stink...really bad...]
Teek sighed and went upstairs. Well, if they weren't gonna be able to sleep, they should at least grab something to eat. They soon entered the kitchen and noticed an unlabeled glass bottle on the counter.
Teek snatched up the glass bottle and swirled the liquid around. Half of it was already gone and it smelled fairly fruity. Huh. Weird....
Teek: Well...can't just...leave it out here for Nico, Monty, or Elena to get into....mm...maybe...just a taste then I can dump it down the drain if it's bad.
Teek took one huge swig of it before stopping, coughing and hacking their lungs up.
Teek: Woough...!! Why is that...so strong tasting??
Teek blinked to try and get their vision back, noticing how blurry it had gotten. What had their mom brought back home with her?
Teek: Mmgh...h-how mucch...?
Teek lifted the bottle up to eye level, noticing that they had drunk nearly all of what was left. There was a very small amount of it left behind. Teek groaned, feeling like they had bitten off more than they could chew. So they put the glass bottle back where they found it before staggering over to the fridge. How were they affected this badly from one bottle of some fruity liquid??
Teek could feel themself wobbling as they kept a hold on the fridge door. Just to make sure they didn't harm themself, they decided to eat a whole block of cheese to get something in their stomach instead of something that required a knife. After finishing that up, they shut the fridge door and stumbled to the living room, tripping and falling on their back, which made a loud crashing noise.
Things in the house went silent after that before Teek rolled onto their side and started to sob to themself....

Stranger: Lilith...maybe you should....investigate that crash from earlier?
Lilith: Yeah....probably one of the twins again....
Lilith sighed and rolled out of the basement bed, tail flicking behind herself. Had Monty set up another contraption in the living room? He better not have...
Soon enough Lilith passed through the kitchen, noticing that the bottle she had had with the stranger was almost completely empty.
Lilith: [I don't remember drinking that much...]
Lilith shook her head then went towards the living room, reeling back at the sight of Teek on the living room floor.
Lilith: Teek? Baby? Bubs, what's wrong?
Teek slowly sat up, staring right into Lilith's eyes. One blink. Two. Three blinks and they were soon on their feet, wobbly as all hell.
Teek's eyes were completely bloodshot from how much they had been crying, taking a wobbly step forward before having to grab onto the doorway between the living room and the kitchen.
Teek: Why....WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE?!?!?!
Teek: DON'T YOU TEEKIE M-ME!! I...! I....why...mama....why....why don't you love me anymore? What did I do wrong? What did I do to make you hate me...?
Lilith: I-I don't....I don't hate you...
Teek: LIAR!! Always bringing home some stranger, never thinking of how me and my younger siblings feel! Why couldn't you just be happy with dad?? Is it....is it my fault? Is it because of me you divorced...?
Lilith: Nononono it's not your fault, baby! I promise it's not your fault-!
Teek: LIAR!!! All you do is lie! Or leave us to fend for ourselves! I'm the one bringing home money and you aren't!! Why did I have to get multiple jobs to sustain us when I'm still trying to finish my senior year?!
Lilith: ....Baby...did you drink Mama's..."fruity drink"?
Teek: Why....does it matter...?
Lilith: You...are never like this. So angry. So quick to snap. So....
Lilith, being a bit taller than Teek, put a hand to Teek's forehead. They were burning up, bad. It was clear to her that they DID, in fact, drink it.
Teek: Don't. Touch. Me. Why do you care now...? This is clearly for some personal...thing!
Lilith: No....it...isn't.
Teek: Liar...you're still lying!
Lilith sighed and pulled away. Teek wouldn't listen to her and Teek's father was still on tour with his band. Which...left her few options. Who would Teek even listen to? Maybe that Elara woman....?
Lilith: UUUGH! I can't believe I have to....sigh....Laura, I'll be back! I got to go get someone....
Laura, from the basement: OKAY~!!!
Lilith slipped on her legwarmers then her sneakers before going out the door towards the apartment building next door. It was starting to get a little brighter out as she walked, so it was probably closer to 4 AM right now.
The 3 Bastards' Apartment Building, 4 AM
Lilith could barely remember where Elara's apartment was, but she was gonna find out either way by ringing the doorbell.
Lilith: Come on...be awake for me....please....
Lilith awkwardly stood there with her hands in her pockets, thumping her tail rather loudly on the floor. It should be noted Lilith is buzzed herself, so of course her volume control is gonna be a little bit skewed.
