It was the fourth and final day he'd be alone at home with Richard, his son. Mary had to solve some problems in Australia with her mother and trusted her boyfriend the simple task of watching their 1 year old son for 5 days.
James was doing fine so far, true that he hadn't slept in 2 days, but the baby was being taken care of. He hadn't been intoxicated with any substances in 5 days and was feeling the effects of the withdrawn. He had quit drugs since his child was born, but he still couldn't drop the alcohol, and had become pretty much an alcoholic since, taking huge amounts when on tour.
He wanted to show he was responsible, that he could spend days totally sober, that he could be a nice father. His mind was always at the basement. He'd imagine himself going downstairs, where all their alcohol is kept, and taking nice shots of wine, vodka, whiskey... Still, his baby was there.
Upstairs Richard had been sleeping for a couple hours now, 'he probably won't wake up on the next hour', James thought to himself.
He couldn't control the urge anymore.

Downstairs James seemed like a wild beast that hadn't eaten in days. He got a bottle of vodka on one hand and a Scotch on the other, and started drinking, almost in desperation for the sacred liquid inside. When his stomach couldn't take it anymore, he puked on the floor and heard something upstairs. Staggering, he managed to climb the stairs and arrive in the kitchen. Richard was crying.
Almost as soon as he heard the crying, depression hit him. He was sure Mary had some anti-depressives on the kitchen, from the time she was trying to quit drugs too. With much effort, he reached the upper cabinet and got some Zoloft, Xanax and some painkillers too.
He took almost all of them with the remaining vodka on his left hand. Richard wouldn't stop crying.
His vision was blurry and his limbs wouldn't respond to his commands, but yet he went upstairs into Richard's room. He got the baby on his arms, but couldn't bear the weight on that state, and sat on the bed next to the crib.
He placed Richard nicely on the bed and tried to stand up and get him some food. All the effort was now in vain. The pills were starting to hit him, and before he knew, he had passed out on the same bed.
Richard kicked and screamed, but nothing would awake unconscious James, after so much alcohol and pills...



To be continued.

As soon as James opened his eyes, a massive hangover took over him. He could barely move, his vision was blurry and he felt a strong pain on his chest. It took a couple of minutes until he finally looked down and saw what was causing the pain on his chest and stomach.
Laying under him was the corpse of what once was his son, Richard. James had taken a semi-lethal mixture of pills and alcohol, but due to all the years of drug abuse, his body survived it this time, although he passed out for 10 hours and was feeling like a zombie.
At first, he jumped out of bed and checked, in vain, Richard's vital signs. Nothing. He then started to do a cardiac massage and everything he had learned about medicine, but it was all useless, Richard was gone and nothing, nothing would bring him back.
The second stage, depression, then hit him. He'd hold his baby on his arms and cry so hard the tears would burn in his face. He was now a murderer, and there was nothing else to blame but his own addicted and sick mind.
James would picture how many time his son spent agonizing under his father's body until the final breath, and more tears came down. After around 10 minutes, his eyes went dry, anything would be useless right now.
Somehow a sense of freedom came soon after the tears stopped. He realized the thing he loved the most, and the only thing that would contain his free spirit, was now laying dead on his arms. He couldn't miss the chance...

As fast as he could, he got his favorite jacket and a bottle of Scotch, and headed down to the kitchen. He got a paper and a pen and wrote Mary a letter. He had to be fast.
Mary would never forgive him for that, but he was also happy for her. He loved Mary a lot and seriously wanted her to find a decent guy, have a couple of kids with him and have a nice life. The only bound James and Mary had had been broken, they were both free to continue their lives.
James was also feeling guilty for taking a child's life, as more as he wanted that chance to appear, he never wanted to be the responsible of ending someone's live so prematurely, it wasn't Richard's fault that James was his father.
Jumping on his brand new motorbike, with £1,000 on his pocket, he rode into the morning sun. Nothing would ever cage him again...


OOC: How was it? Feedback, please :p
