I’m starting to realize that Ward is the drunk of the group of his friends. The guy you know who will always go too far. The guy who will always end up passed out or puking or something crazy…
The guy who…
I cover my mouth as Bobby props Ward up on the floor.
Bobby opens the toilet seat and places the right side of Ward’s face on the toilet bowl.
“It’s time, big guy,” Bobby says. “Go for it…”
Ward babbles something that does not resemble words at all.
Then slowly… Ward brings his left hand to his mouth…
I’m not sure if you want the details of what happens next.
I’ll just say that Ward knows when he reaches the level of alcohol poisoning… meaning a trip to the hospital is bound to happen… he knows how to… redeposit…
He sticks his damn finger into his mouth and down into his throat…
I have to turn my head.
I can’t watch even though I can hear him throwing up.
“There you go, big guy,” Bobby says. “That’s the spirit. Now, hey, listen, I’m going to leave you here with your wife… okay?”
I cringe - physically cringe - at that fucking word.
Wife.
Bobby pats Ward’s back and then looks at me.
I step back to let Bobby through the doorway.
“I think he’ll be okay,” Bobby whispers. “I would just keep a close eye on him. You’re going to be a doctor, right? You can pretend he’s a patient.”
It takes a lot for me not to punch Bobby right in the mouth.
But this isn’t his fault.
This is Ward’s fault.
Ward finishes puking and collapses to the floor on his right side.
That’s where I know to just leave him.
I also know I can’t leave his dorm.
I have to be here. Sleep here.
I think about everyone else.
Grieving the death of Mac’s father.
I wonder what Jax is up to. If he’s drinking… or with someone…
I close my eyes and shake my head.
A second later I hear the most disgusting sound ever coming from Ward’s stomach.
