When Yuki opened her eyes, she found herself cuffed to a bedframe… and saw Rezar walk in.
"Hey you! Get me out of these cuffs!" Yuki shouted, while trying to pull it off.
"Sorry, Yuki but I won't do that." Rezar responded as Yuki looked for her Meth. "Flushed it… it's Tuesday night. Or technically, early Wednesday morning. You've been going through withdrawals for a day and a half." He explained.
"You have no business being up in minds! What is this, a fucking intervention? It won't change me, and I bet those Demon Bitches are outside that door, huh?" She questioned.
"Actually, Mandy had a doctor's appointment yesterday… little Demon Prince is doing good. Look, Mandy and Finn love you like family but they're not gonna let a drug addict around their son!" Rezar responded.
"Well, they can go fuck themselves for all I care. They can have that little bastard, but I'm staying on angry and on drugs no matter what. What else? Seth leaving me, and I bet it's the truth." Yuki explained, while looking away.
"Stephanie suspended you until you get clean." Rezar responded, Yuki turning furious.
"You think I care about wrestling?! I rather be alone with my drugs. They can help me more." Yuki explained. "Please, go away."
"Rezar, let me in!"
Yuki's eyes widened at hearing Jeff's voice, Rezar letting the younger Hardy brother into the room.
"Oh no, not you…" Yuki said sarcastically, before looking away once more.
"I've been where you are, Yuki. Countless times… I've lost friends to drugs, I don't want to lose you too." Jeff replied, Yuki looking at him. "I remember the first time Mandy cuffed me to a radiator… I'm sure you remember that 89 second match I had with Sting. It was after that and she left me there for three days, keeping an eye on me and making sure I ate and drank water… I got clean and I have been since then." He explained.
"Yeah, like I give a flying fuck… I don't care about Mandy. And I don't care about being clean or whatever, when I get out these cuffs, I'll be dragging you all to hell with me." Yuki explained, before spitting onto Jeff's face. "Now, get out!" She shouted.
Jeff grabbed a bottle of water and opened it before splashing it on Yuki's face, Yuki screaming until he stopped.
"Now listen, little girl, me and the others are trying to help you! You remember how upset you were when Mandy nearly died, how do you think she and your friends and family are gonna feel when they lose you?! Because if you keep on using, you'll be in a grave before you know it!" Jeff yelled after throwing the bottle, Yuki shaking in fright as Jeff had never gotten angry with her.
"Get out of here! Go back to your fancy wrestling ring and that fancy United States Championship title you have around you! I don't need anyone! Not even Finn or Amanda, old man!" Yuki shouted, trying to break out the cuffs, before she stopped once she felt something sharp from behind her.
Jeff turned her onto her side and spanked her repeatedly, Yuki screaming and sobbing even after he stopped before Jeff left.
"Fucking asshole!" Yuki shouted loudly in tears, touching her behind as she felt a glass shard hidden in the back pockets of her black skinny jeans.
Jeff washed the blood off and removed the pieces of glass before cleaning out the wound and bandaging it.
At the same time across the country, Amanda was on a video call with Chihiro and Sami and explaining it to them.
"How is she on drugs?! My sister is not like this!" Chihiro cried.
"I don't know where she got them but I know that things haven't changed much… it's just that no one's shooting up in the locker rooms like they did twenty years ago. Hell, even a decade and a half ago, drug use was blatant." Amanda responded, Chihiro knowing that back when Amanda was a kid, she saw things that no child should see.
"But where is my sister now?" Chihiro questioned.
"Rezar called on Tuesday morning, he and Akam have her somewhere but didn't give me a location… I guess they're forcing her to go through withdrawals before putting her in rehab." Amanda explained, rubbing her stomach as Liam kicked and Chihiro and Sami saw Finn walk over to where Amanda was.
"I honestly hope she gets clean… but I recommend moving yourselves somewhere safer, you two. You have your son to think about." Sami responded, Chihiro nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, you should… Uh, guys… I think you should look at the news." Chihiro responded, as she looked away from the tablet.
Finn switched the channel and saw a news report indicating that Yuki had escaped.
At the same time, Yuki walked into Passages Malibu Addiction Treatment Center and over to the front desk.
"Hi, I called earlier on the phone." Yuki replied, the desk clerk nodding and smiling kindly.
"Welcome, Miss Yang." She responded before guiding Yuki to a room.
It was a few days later that Amanda and Finn showed up to visit Yuki… she looked up to tell them off but then saw Sandy.
"Why are you here?" Yuki asked.
"We don't know each other all that well but I still care… and they care too, Yuki, they're your friends." Sandy explained as Yuki noticed that Amanda wasn't wearing her normal clothes.
The small brunette had on a pair of black skinny jeans and a printed kimono blouse as well as black ballet flats that Yuki could tell had memory foam in them.
"How's the little bundle of joy doing?" Yuki asked.
"Kicking like crazy." Amanda responded, Finn resting his left hand on Amanda's stomach and Liam kicked against his hand in response… before Yuki slammed her hands on the table, scaring both Finn and Amanda.
"Seriously, why in the hell are you both here?!" Yuki retorted.
"To make sure you're holding up okay, that's why… they don't want you feeling like you're alone." Sandy responded.
"Well… I rather be alone in this state. I didn't ask for them to come find me. Plus I told the nurse to add them to the non-visitors list." Yuki said, before walking away.
Finn guided Amanda to the car as Sandy followed Yuki and grabbed her by her right arm in a rough manner before turning the raven haired woman to her.
"You don't have to like it but people do care about you! Friends, family, even co-workers! So you don't get to stay trapped in a cocoon of anger and drug fueled mayhem! Got it?!" Sandy yelled, Yuki backing away as she was genuinely scared… and the last time she was scared of Sandy was when Sandy shot someone with the tiniest gun Yuki had seen.
"Fine then…" Yuki said, before walking away. "Crazy bitch." She muttered to herself.
Sandy reached the Equinox and got in the back, looking at Amanda and Finn.
"I know what you're thinking." Sandy responded quietly.
"Unlike Yuki, Jeff had gotten physically violent with me while he was high… that's why I cuffed him to the radiator after the event that night. Years after, he won't even take Aspirin for a headache… and I want little Liam to know his Auntie Yuki but not when she's like this." Amanda responded, her left hand resting on her stomach as Finn lightly brushed Amanda's tears away.
"When she gets clean and stays clean, we'll let her around us again. You and I can protect ourselves but Liam's so little and needs us to protect him, love." Finn replied before they kissed and the three left the clinic.
Yuki closed her eyes, hoping to rest.
And her mind wandered.
