"Rory."-Finn

"The very last thing I want are pre-apologizes my love. I know that you are trying to get better, I do. But at the moment you still aren't a hundred percent and no matter how many ultimatums I give you we both know that sadly I will not leave because my love for you knows no bounds. Mike, if you want to drink I can not stop you even though I have tried, hell even Steve and Logan have attempted to get you to stop and it doesn't work. Just know that tonight if you make that choice that I will be taking not just the keys to your car, but the keys to the house as well. Not just for tonight but until you make the final choice to go to treatment and get the help that you so desperately need."-Rory

"Don't you think that that is a bit extreme even for you?"-Finn

"I did at the time I first felt this way, but not anymore. Not after the countless ultimatums I have already given you that didn't change anything. 'm not saying you have to go to rehab for a year or anything along those lines, but you do need help that no one in your inner circle is equipped to give you. You do at least realize that right?"-Rory

"At this moment in time I do, however it does not change my desire to drink. You have to understand that."-Finn

"Finn, I have understood that for a long time now, for the past two and half years to be exact. I love you with all that I am, you know this. It tears me apart inside that I can not help you. I am simply saying that if you make that choice tonight to drink any amount of alcohol that I will no longer be the understanding girlfriend. I will no longer be an enabler. I will be the one who gets you help the only way that I know how. Is that understood?"-Rory

(he looks at his girlfriend who he wants to make his wife someday sooner rather than later, and realizes truly realizes for the first time over the past few years how much pain he has actually put her through. How many agonizing nights of worry and fear when he comes home after hanging out with the guys. How many tears she has shed for him over something that he has been more than capable of changing but chooses over and over again not to. At that moment in time he decided that he would never put another drink to his lips. Little did he know how much harder that would actually turn out to be)

"Rory, I promise you that from this day forth I will NEVER bring another drink into my body. Never again will you have to worry late at night about where I am at and not knowing if I will be coming home sober or out of my mind wasted. You will not be getting a call from Logan and Steve to inform you that I will not be coming home because I have being violent and they do not want you to be around that. I love you, and promise to show you that and make up for everything that I have done to hurt you in the past."-Finn

"Finn."-Rory

"I know that I have said this before but I actually mean it, truly mean it with every fiber of my being."-Finn

"I want to believe you, I really do it's just."-Rory

"I know that you are scared you have every right to be. But for now, please don't think about that, why don't we leave so I can show you with my actions that I am being rather serious?"-Finn

(she sighs but deep down she knows that he is right and takes his hand. They head to Drink and have a great evening with the Logan and Steve. After about an hour in the two guys head to the bar to grab some drinks while Steve and Rory take a small breather at a table.)

"So, I've noticed that you and Finn seem even closer than usual on nights like this one. Something happen at the house that we should know about?"-Steve

"Well he did promise that he wouldn't put a drink to his lips ever again."-Rory

"Rory."-Steve

(she holds up her hand to stem his rant that she knows he is about to give)

"I know. Trust me I am more than well aware of the speech he has given all of us at some point more than once over the time span. But the look in his eyes was different this time. I think he will actually stick to his word. I told him that if he decides to drink tonight that I would be taking away his keys to the car as well as the house and not just for this evening but until he decides to go into proper treatment."-Rory

(he sighs because he knows how deep the love for Finn she has goes. He feels exactly the same way about her)

"Hun, you have to do what's best for you and honestly with the ultimatum you gave him this time I do believe you when you say that this attempt will be different. I just hope that he sticks to it. If not you know that you always have a place to go with me or Logan for that matter right?"-Steve

"Of course I know that and appreciate that in more ways than one."-Rory

(while they were waiting for Logan and Finn to rejoin them one of their favorite songs "Da One International Version" by Rhianna, Chris Brown, and Pit Bull came on and they decided to dance together)

*Meanwhile at the bar*

"I'll have a top shelf Long Island Ice Tea. Thanks"-Logan

"I'll have two peppermint shakes. Thank you"- Finn

(Logan just gives him an odd look then it clicks why he would order a drink like that)

"Rory have a talk with you?"-Logan

"How did you know?"-Finn

"You normally order a proper drink when we are out here, and only after Rory dishes out a shape up or ship out talk do you ever order anything else."-Logan

"Fair enough point there man. But this time she actually threatened to take away my keys."-Finn

"Which ones?"-Logan

"Not only my car keys, but the house keys as well."-Finn

"Just for tonight though I am assuming?"-Logan

"No, until I go to treatment and decide to once and for all get better"-Finn

(Logan sucks in air and takes a shot of his drink. In the entire time that Rory and Finn had been together and she found out about his drinking problem she had stood by him, never walking away even when she knew that she should. This was the first time that she ever made a deal like that, and for once he knew that she meant business and also could tell by the look in his eyes that he also meant to change this time around. Logan just hoped that it would actually stick and because he knew that the two of them would be lost without the other if things failed between them.)

"Finn, you do know that if you fail this test that she will actually leave you this time. No matter how deep her love for you goes. "-Logan

"I know, trust me I know. Dude, I want to propose to her, buy her an even better house, give her the wedding of her dreams. I want her to have the world and I can only offer her that if I am completely sober and healthy. I'm actually going to sign up for a treatment program after work tomorrow."-Finn

(Logan just looks at him in a small state of shock, his best friend finally was taking his girlfriend seriously after all this time. He was going to get proper help and for that Logan was grateful that the group had gotten together tonight. The pair looked over to Steve, and Rory dancing, Pitbull's Song "Back In Time" had just finished and gone into LMFAO's song "Shots", the two looked oddly good dancing together)

"Have you talked to Steve yet?"-Logan

"Nope, dude, I'm not too worried about him and Rory. They like the two of you have been through a lot especially with their jobs. I think that it is good for her to have someone else to talk to otherwise than the two of us ya know?"-Finn

"That is a rather good point however."-Logan

"Let's not worry about it okay. Why not join our friends instead of analyzing them?"-Finn

"Alright, let's go."-Logan

(the duo head back to Steve and Rory drinks in hand for the group. Finn gently interrupts Steve and Rory and takes a chance to slow dance with his girl. The four of them enjoy the rest of their evening at the club. Around three in the morning they decided to call it a night. Steve dropped Logan off then headed back to his own house. The lovebirds are now back at their house changing into far more comfortable attire.)

"I noticed that you only ordered virgin drinks tonight honey."-Rory

"I'm glad that you were observant of that. What do you think about it?"-Mike

(she goes up and kisses him passionately then pulls away in order to give her reply) "I think that was the sweetest thing that happened tonight. Thank you for taking me seriously for a change and respecting my wishes."-Rory

(he kisses her just as passionately and before more words could be exchanged between the couple they decided to go relax in a bubble bath with lighted candles, and soft romantic music to help put them even more in the mood. They had a night full of love making, and gently promises made that they knew marked a new beginning in their relationship that neither would walk away from)
