(Ralph)

“And that’s why I rent out the upstairs of that house.” I pointed down the block. “I got a nice paying job, i got promoted to co owner of the Mazda company, that’s how i got this car and am able to live there.”

“At least it had a happy ending.” Daniella turned back, facing the wheel.

“Yeah..i guess..but see, whenever something bad happens i drink..just like he did. You think i should go to AA?” I asked her.

“Well, no i dont actually. I just think that you should face your problems like a man, you know? Dont drink or get high or something stupid like that. Just accept it and move on.” She turned the car back on and drove down the block.

We got out of my car.

“Thanks Danni.” I smiled weakly at her.
“No prob.” She hugged me. “See ya tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”

I turned and headed towards the door.

“Ralphie! Sup my boy, you got the rent?” Mr. Daweson asked.
“Yeah wait here.” I ran up and grabbed the check. “Here ya go.” I handed to him at the bottom of the stairs. “Night sir.”
“Thanks man, goodnight.”
