“Baby, why didn`t you tell me?” asked Pixie.

“Why would I do that?” asked Poser.

“Because I thought you loved me” said Pixie. “But you`re damn good at hiding alcoholism from somebody”

“Honey, I do love you” said Poser. “But alcohol has been apart of me for a long time”

“You could`ve told me” said Pixie. “We could`ve helped you sooner”

“I don`t WANT help, Pix” said Poser. “So just leave me alone”

“Poser” Pixie said, with tears in her eyes. “You need help. You almost died last week”

“Baby, it`s my life” said Poser. “I don`t want help”

“Poser, if you don`t want help, then get out of my life, and away from my daughter” said Pixie.

“Pix, please” said Poser.

“No, Poser” said Pixie. “You hid from me that you were an alcoholic. And if you refuse to get help for it, then I don`t want you around. Kthx.”

“Pixie” said Poser. “How could you say that?”

“It`s the truth” said Pixie.

“Fine” Poser said. “I`ll keep going to the meetings”

“Thanks, Baby” said Pixie. “I love you so much”
