Nathan shrugged. "What do you suggest, then? We can't force her to believe she has a problem!" David ran both hands through his hair. "We need someone who she'll listen to...someone who sees our point of view but who can get the message through to her..." Nathan suddenly sat up. "That's it!" he cried...

[glow=red,2,300]Darn it. I have no idea, I was hoping someone else would post.[/glow] "No, that's it," Nathan said excitedly. "We don't have to do it. We know someone else who can!" "Who?" "Remember when Gemma first came here, she was seeing that guy who came the same year. They split up, but they're still like best friends. She'll do anything he says, he's like an older brother to her. Remember?" David's eyes widened. "Of course!" he said. "Ricky!"
[glow=red,2,300]And, on cue:[/glow]
Name: Ricky Kearton Age: 20 Studying: English Language Things to know: Charismatic, charming, good to know. He likes parties but knows his drinking limit, is bisexual but doesn't really get into physical relationships, is an easy-to-get-on-with sort of guy who doesn't hold grudges and takes life as it comes. Bio: Grew up in an orphanage until he was fostered at nine. Loved his foster parents and did well at school, always wondering what true love was like. At college he thought he found it, until he was dumped badly. He avoided relationships for a while before he decided to try again with Gemma. In the end they split up but remained great friends ^^. He keeps to his own individual friends most of the time.

"You sure about this?" Ricky asked as David pulled up infront of Gemmas house. "She's not in right now but seriously find all the bottles you can, please" Nathan begged "This spare key is only for emergancies though..." "Good good" Dave said not listening as he pushed Ricky out of the car.

Ricky edged up the path, feeling apprehensive. He looked back but David had already driven away. Ricky sighed. Here goes nothing, he thought, and pushed the key into the lock. He turned it and let himself in. "Gemma?" For a moment there was no reply, then Gemma appeared at the opposite doorframe. For a second she looked annoyed, then her face slipped into shock. "Ricky?" He smiled. "Hi, Gemma." "Oh, god, Ricky!" Gemma ran across the corridor and threw her arms around him. "It's been so long...How've you been? Where've you been?" She showed Ricky into the living room. Ricky's face didn't change but his heart sank...he'd been hoping that David had exaggerated, but sure enough there were bottles everywhere.

"Been drinking abit have you?" Ricky started "Oh yeah only the occasional drink, havn't had the chance to clean it up yet" She called out from the kitchen. She returned with some coffee and sat down on a chair next to him. "So how've you been?" "Fine, I guess" He sighed and took a sip of his coffee "Ugh, you forgot the milk" "Oh woops, sorry" She smiled "I'll go put some in" "No thats okay, I'll do it" Nows my chance he thought. He opened the fridge and has he had begun to expect there were several different types of drinks in there. He glanced round the kitchen, it was just as bad a state as the living room. He poured the milk in and returned quickly.

"So, how's things been going?" Gemma asked. "Um...not bad. Um, Actually, Gemma, I was chatting to your friend David." "Oh? I didn't know you knew him." "We've just met. He said something about you being in hospital..." "Oh, that old thing. That was ages ago." "Ah.What was it about?" He gritted his teeth as he added, "David mentioned something to do with drinking." "Well, my drink was spiked at a party, we thought that--" "No, I mean, you drinking." Gemma hesitated for a moment, then said...

"You think I shouldn't?" she asked "No, it's your own decision to drink but I meant how much you are drinking" "Think I drink too much? Ha! your probably right else why would I wake up with a hangover most of the time, that or I got something wrong with me head" "You were always insane.." "That supposed to be a compliment?" she asked with a slight smile.

Ricky smiled, too. "I guess so. But seriously, Gemma, how much?" "No more than anyone else," Gemma said slowly. She glanced back at Ricky, who was watching her. "Well, a bit more than anyone else," she admitted. She sighed. "Jeez, I don't know how you do it, Ricky. Yes, I suppose I've been drinking a bit...much." Ricky nodded, smiling. "I see." "So? Are you going to rant at me like everyone else?" "Huh? Rant? No, of course I'm not. It's your choice how much you drink, Gemma, I've already said that. It's just...you do know how worried Dominique and the others are, don't you?" "Oh, you've been talking to 'Nique too?" "In passing." Gemma sighed...

Meanwhile parked around the corner, Dave silently sipped his coffee that he had picked up from his local starbucks while Nathan watched Gemma's house. "Well...he hasn't been kicekd out yet, so I guess either she's either bludgeoned him to death after flipping because everyone kept pestering her about the drinking or..." Nathan said as his slightly over active imagination kicked in. He began imagining the possibiltiy that Gemma was drunk and Ricky was busily taking advantage of the situation. "OH GOD I'VE GOT TO STOP HIM FROM FORCING HIMSELF ON GEMMA!" at which point David swiftly hit Nathan on the head. "Stop over reacting" he said bluntly and quietly went back to his coffee while Nathans imagination cooled down.
Back in the house things were far from Nathans imagination...

"well I'm going away for a while" explained Gemma "I'm going to give up when I get back, promise you" her tone was light hearted and she smiled as she spoke "you have to mean that Gemma" said Ricky seriously "otherwise your promise doesn't mean anything"

Gemma sighed, and Ricky noticed her hands trembling. Suddenly she gave a soft exclamation and buried her head in her hands. Ricky, alarmed, gingerly placed a hand on her shoulder and Gemma spun around and threw her arms around him, crying on his shoulder. "I've tried, Ricky!" she wailed. "I've tried s-so many times! David and Nathan and D-Dominique are all going on ab-bout it and I k-keep trying but I can't do it! I spend all this week trying to quit and I just couldn't!" Ricky put his arms around her. "Of course you can." "I can't! Don't you get it, I can't!" "Of course you can! We're all with you, Gemma, we'll all help y--" "I don't need help! I need a fucking miracle! I can't do it, Ricky, I can't! I'm getting so stressed over it and I drink to calm down, then I get stressed again because it goes on and on! I just can't fucking do it!" She broke down completely, sobbing uncontrollably, and for a while all Ricky could do was hold her and stroke her hair and wait for her to calm down.
[glow=red,2,300]Just to clarify, there isn't anything between Gemma and Ricky, they are just good friends...[/glow]

After about an hour Gemma had calmed down and Ricky left because he had to meet a friend at the Airport. He walked out the door and after turning into the next street heading towards the bus stop, David pulled up beside him. "Get in" Dave said. Ricky climbed in and they began to drive towards Ricky's house. "Still alive I see. So how'd it go?" Nathan asked "Well she admits she's got a problem and she's tried to stop drinking but keeps failing. She doesn't seem to happy that you guys keep going on and on about it either" He sighed

"Should we get her some help?" David asked nervously. "If she admits it, maybe she'll let us help her." "No, I don't think she'll take that very well. What we need to do is be there for her. Encourage her. She feels as though we're pressurising her at the momet." "I suppose we were a bit hard on her before," David admitted. "Just trying to get her to admit it. Maybe you can help her, though. Whatever we do, it has to be fast. She nearly died when her drink was spiked--I can't bear to think of what we'd do if it happened again, or worse." "Don't worry yourself about it," Ricky said cheerfully. "I'll see to it, don't you worry. You've got enough to be worrying about, anyway." "I do?" "Well, I thought you were in with Dominique." David realised he was right. In all the excitement about Gemma he'd almost completely forgotten Dominique. He hadn't seen her for two days. "You're right. I should go visit her." "How's it going with her?" Ricky asked as they pulled onto his road. "Fine, I think. We haven't been together long." "Well, good luck with that." Ricky got out of the car and leaned to the window. "Just leave Gemma to me, okay? And if she needs you, be there for her. Thanks for the ride."

[glow=red,2,300]26 days later, someone posts[/glow]
Dominique layed on her bed reading a magazine. She didn't really pay attention to what the article was talking about but her thoughts were more on the fact that David hadn't said a word to her in the past 2 days. She was starting to get a little worried if he was planning to break up with her but she couldn't see why he would. Maybe it's just something keeping him busy, she thought but then thought, what could it be?
There was a knock at the door, she answered it to find David leaning against the door frame. He smiled and gave her box of expensive chocolates. She took the chocolates and tossed them to one side before pulling David in planting a kiss on him straight away before shutting the door.
