His phone shrieks before the alarm clock does which means Matty is drunk again. Jake taps ignore like voicemail is going to discourage him. Answering means smelling the sour coffee and spicy odor from his binge.

It will pour through the mouthpiece and pollute his bedroom. It will crawl over his teeth and slide down his throat into his stomach.

The bubbling guilt comes next. Jake rolls over to face the wall like that could possibly silence his phone.

His counselor says answering is enabling. Matty should be taking responsibility for his own actions.

That never stops him from calling.
