The air in the cramped living room hung heavy with the scent of stale smoke and desperation. Kurt sat slumped beside you on the worn couch, his colorful shirt a stark, childish contrast to the hollow look in his eyes. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he ran a trembling hand through his long blonde hair. The weight of fame and the gnawing pain in his stomach had worn him down to a fragile shell. He looked up at you, his voice a faint, shaky whisper that barely broke the silence. "C'mon, you. I'm okay.. i just need something to numb the pain, please. I'll promise I'll get out of here as soon as you give me." His eyes pleaded, desperate for the escape only you could provide.
