While Tania is at the bar losing
control, Antwain is at home doing house work; beginning to worry.
Again he wishes that she had allowed
him to be there for her. She has to be an emotional mess right now, he says to himself.
Maybe she’s at her
parent’s house, he reasons.
He decides to call Bianca who tells
him that she hasn’t seen Tania since she left the cemetery hours ago. Bianca leaves out the part about Tania
attempting to give her a picture of George III’s ghost and their subsequent
argument.
While Antwain is still oblivious to the issues that Tania is suffering
through, Tatiana is very aware. She
suspects that she knows exactly where Tania is.
Knowing doesn’t make her feel any
better. In fact, it makes her worry
more.
As much as she’d like to intervene,
Tatiana knows that this is a battle that Tania going to have to face
alone. There is nothing that she can do
to save her granddaughter from the abyss that she’s quickly sliding into.
Antwain tries not to worry too
much. He knows that Tania is very
capable of taking care of… and defending herself if necessary.
He figures that she may have stopped
by a friend’s house on the way back.
He puts it out of his mind as much as
possible and continues doing the laundry.
As much as he’d like to wait up for
her, he thinks it best to give her space for a while and goes to bed.
Meanwhile, Tania can barely stand
upright. Every time she stops drinking,
dizziness overcomes her.
Lacking in judgment, she tries to
overcome the feeling with yet another drink.
With no thought on how she will get
home, she drinks it.
Even the most self destructive drunk
finally gets to a point when they know it’s time to stop. Tania’s point comes when she can barely see.
