-Alice's POV-
"No you can't do this!! We've together so long Brendan...I thought we would game together forever..." Alice squeaked at her now ex.
"sorry man...but I mean...you usually get wine drunk and throw the controller at me...my friends are asking why I have bruises everywhere and I just tell them I trip down the stairs...sorry Ally, but I can't do this anymore...not with your drinking problem.." he sighed and walked out the door. Ally looks around frantically, grabs her keys and her card to "Two Guys one Pub" (already has twelves punches in it)
"Guess I should redeem my free drink..." she says and exits the apartment.
——-at the bar——
"Another round Chauncey! I don't wanna just be wine drunk tonight." Alice said, slobbering on the table with a hand waving in the air.
"Pardon me...but I do not really think you need another drink." A mysterious Raven haired beauty suggested. Ally looked over and laughed. A drunk laugh.
"Excuuuuuse meee. I think I'm barely tipsy right now ahaha. Why? Worried I can't handle my fireball?" Alice laughed hard.
"Come on dear, I'll take you home, Chauncey hold the scotch tonight please, looks like I found a different problem to deal with." She said while hoisting a drunk Alice across her shoulder.
"You got it Leona! See ya next week when the husband cheats Bahahha, I kid I kid." He said while wiping a glass and waving them off.
The two walk out together, Leona being Alice's main support system. They start walking towards the bus station, one yank at a time.
"How did you even get this drunk this fast?" Leona said pulling her new found friend along.
"It doesn't take much when your heart is broken, to PIECES. Ugh. I JUST WANTED TO BEAT HIM AT MARIOKART ONCE. Just..once...I MISS HIM. AREN'T YOU MY GUARDIAN ANGEL? GET HIM BAAAACK. I want to beat his dumb butt into oblivion....guardian angel please please pleaseeeee" Alice begged while throwing a fit in the middle of the street.
"Get up! If he dumped you it's most likely because you do things like this. And. I am NOT your guardian angel. Get up right now and tell me your address so I can dump you off and go on with my own business." Leona screamed at a now criss cross applesauced Alice looking like she's about to cry. Leona realized her mistake looking at the fragile girl as tears fell and brown whisps of hair stuck to her face as the wind blew. Leona leaned down on her knees and wiped the hair out of her face.
"Oh come on, do not cry, it's okay, come on let's go home, and you can sleep it away. What's your address?" Leona asked feeling bad about making her cry.
"123 Sesame Street" Alice whimpered out.
Leona grabbed the little brunette and helped her along to the bus station. They waited in the cold till a bus showed up, Alice digging into her coat because she was cold. The second they got onto the bus Alice fell asleep on Leona's shoulder, much to her disgust. They got off at the apartment building and Leona carried her little problem up the stairs. She dug the keys out of Alice's purse and unlocked the door.
She opened it to a room full of colorful posters and a purple couch. Where do you even find a purple couch? She dragged her into a hallway assuming her room would be there. She found her room and lifted the drunk mess onto the bed and tucked her in, sideways, in case she vomited. Leona then ventured into the kitchen to try and find some sticky notes. Instead she found two boxes of Franzia wine and decided to dump them out along with the three bottles accompanying the counter. She dug into the drawers till she found a notepad and pen.

Leona, 903-321-1357
You were completely wasted and could not walk
I dragged you home, yes, dragged.
If you need me, call, but I suggest you call alcoholics anonymous first.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Leona looked around, and left, with a sigh.
The next morning Alice woke up, head pounding.
"Oh sh*t. What the heck happened...." she got up, and went into the bathroom. She took one look at the wreck she became and decided she might need a shower. She let the warm water engulf her body and wash the headache away, or at least majority of it. She decided she needed some Toast in a bad way and ventured into the kitchen for her usual breakfast and glass of morning wine. She was appalled by what she saw, her boxes of wine in the trash and the bottles all empty and sitting open by the sink. One bottle sat in the sink, filled with water. She noticed a note inside the bottle and fished it out. She read the note and fell to the ground, disgusted that she did this...again. She ran to her room and fished her phone out of her purse,

Alice: hey there stranger...sorry about last night...I'm not proud of it. Thank you for caring for me though...one time I woke up in the McDonald's playhouse so...I appreciate it. :)
Leona: No problem. Get some help. Bye.
Alice: oh, ugh okay, bye.

Alice walked back into her bedroom defeated for the day and took a nap. A nap for the rest of the day.

"AND THAT my kids, is the story about how me and your mom met. I like to think it was meant to be." Alice laughed and looked at her wife next to her.
"Kids, do not pick up random strangers off the streets okay." Leona made sure to tell the three little ones in front of her.
"You don't control me!" Screamed a young Blonde called Elaine.
"I'm gonna marry Tom Holland." Said the youngest, and black haired triplet.
"You wish you could marry a celebrity Eleanor! I'm gonna marry my BOYFRIEND ahahahah" the loudest, brunette child yelled while jumping up and down.
" you're all gonna marry someone someday, just wait for the right one, like I did" Alice looked at her wife Leona who smiled back, and Alice took a sip of wine surrounded by her loving family.
