Who: Jason, Merritt, Zel
When: After This
Where: Zel's apartment
Rating: High

He'd sped his way to her place, not concerned about the traffic or speed limit. The entire way he tried to get her to reply on her phone. Thankfully he still had access to her apartment. When he arrived he called out her name, "Zel!" Jason checked her room and then saw the light in the bathroom on.

She was laying on the floor, her hand was bleeding and she was passed out. Quickly Jason rushed to her side and felt for a pulse, it was faint. Looking around he saw the broken bottle on the floor and a used vial of warp. "Fuck Zel."

"Zel?"

Jason heard another voice in the loft, someone who must have entered minutes after him. "In here!" He called, not sure who it was and he didn't care. "Help me!" He recognized the other man from the news, her lawyer- he wasn't aware they were that close. Thankfully though they were. "Get her arm, help me lift her up." The two men grabbed her under an arm and Jason instructed to lift her and he turned her around over the toilet. This wasn't the first time he'd dealt with someone who almost OD'd, he'd talked to her before about her drug usage and was always careful not to sound like a counselor. But in all honesty, for as clean as she kept saying Camelot was... it had it's dark side. They just tried to help people get better.

"Hold her head." Jason told the other man as he opened her mouth and stuck his finger in her mouth and down her throat to trigger her gag reflex. He knew there were safer ways to do this... like in the hospital, but in a pinch... It took a couple of tried but even unconscious, her reflex caused her to throw up some. "Come on Zel, a little bit more." He winced as he triggered her one more time. He watched her gasp for air, still out, but breathing a little better at least.

Jason passed her to the other man. "Here, hold her." He said as he moved to the shower and turned on the water to cold and with the help of the lawyer put her in. "Watch her and make sure the water doesn't get in her nose or mouth." He said as he picked up the bits of the bottle and warp vial and left the room.

When he said he wanted her to pack a few things and stay with him, all she could do was nod her head as she swallowed. Already she pulled him with her, as she entered her bedroom. Going to grab at her bag she looked towards Jason. "..Are you sure about this..." She asked. Making sure this is what he wanted.

Already she opened that bag, as she started to pack some clothes and datapad. "...Jason..." She didn't really know how to put it, but all she did was look towards that pink box with her vials in it. It was horrible, even knowing she almost ODed she still wanted them. It was part of her, unfortunately.

	“I’m sure.” He said softly. His eyes followed hers to the box. “Bring them. We’ll work something out.” Jason said softly. “Once you’ve recovered.” He stood in the doorway and watched her pack. He couldn’t help how much he wanted to just hold her and protect her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She came to nod her head slowly. Packing the vials and leaving the box behind. Her bag taken hold of as she came to stand at the doorway. Her gaze was lowered for the moment since she couldn't really look at him. He'd seen her have breakdowns. But for him to actually see her almost OD was different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jason slipped his hand under her chin and coaxed it up to look at him. “It’s going to be okay. Tonight we’re dealing with your demons.” He said softly. Tomorrow. We’ll deal with mine.” He leaned down and gave her a kiss. “But first, let’s get home. I’ve got a neighbor to save from a kid who is probably refusing to go to bed.”

He escorted her out of the apartment and down to his bike. He let her have the helmet as they got on. “Hold tight.” He told her with a smile.

	She came to take the helmet and slip it on as she came to hold on tight to him. Of course, she couldn't help but think, what he meant by that. How exactly was he going to deal with her demons? Her demons were rooted into her, made her this fucked up person she is now. She wasn't sure, but she followed him either way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Once they arrived at his place Jason lead her up to his place and excused himself briefly before going to his neighbors to pick up Morgan. He also arranged for her to take him the next night all night. Morgan was asleep when Jason arrived so he hefted the boy and took up his bag. When he arrived back at his apartment he dropped the bag in the corner of the boys room and gently laid the boy in the bed. Shushing him as he started to stir.

Jason then joined Zel in his room. “He’s asleep.”

Once in the apartment, Zel moved off to the bedroom. Nodding when he excused himself to go get Morgan. In the meantime, Zel had changed into the boxers and shirt that she'd been accustomed to wearing when sleeping over Jason's place. Hearing Moran was asleep she nodded her head. She couldn't help but stare at Jason for the moment.

"...What.. are you planning...?" She asked with a raised brow.

“No more rules.” He said, kneeling on the ground before her. “Except one. We try.” Jason took her hands on his. “We try.... First, you try to only get high when there’s someone else there. Not alone. Doesn’t have to be me, but just don’t take anything when alone.” He said softly, he didn’t want to force her clean, because he knew she wasn’t ready... but he didn’t want to lose her either. “And you think about taking clean slate twice a month to keep the side effects to a minimum.” He’d but it if she couldn’t afford it.

When he said no more rules, she came to look at him suddenly as he kneeled down before her. Taking her hands in his, she listened. Swallowing down for the moment. "...I don't like... Clean slate..." She admitted softly. "I don't like.. Being sober, the way it makes me feel.: She said as she came to look away from him again. "...But..." She said as she exhaled. "..I'll try"

“And it’s just for two days a week. They can be on days you stay home. But I’ve seen addiction effects tear someone apart.” Emotional breakdowns and suicide attempts... “and all I ask is try. And you’re not alone. I’ll be there will you every time if you want. We can schedule things to help keep you distracted like family game night.” Jason squeezing her good hand slightly. “We try.” He kissed her hand. He knew he’d have to tackle himself next... which was always harder.

"Jason..." She said softly as he squeezed her hand. "..What if.. I can't?" She asked honestly. "...I never... had anyone ask this of me before... Infact the people from my past have the only ever fueled my addiction..." She said softly as she brushed her hair from her face as she came to look away from Jason. Hearing about game night, had her closing her eyes for the moment. "...I don't know.. how to be part of a family.."

“I’m not asking you to succeed. Just try.” Jason insisted. In theory the more they try, the better they’ll get. Like practice. He couldn’t help but smile at her family comment. “It’s not something you learn. It’s just something you are.” He had, had a family until he was eleven, then he drifted. But in the end he’d made his own family within Camelot and now he hoped with her.

A small knock came on his bedroom door and it cracked open. Morgan stood there rubbing his eyes. “Da..?” He yawned. Those young piercing blue eyes landed on Zel and he smiled sleepily. “Zel!” He half walked- half stumbled to her and put his arms around her.

“Bother bad dream buddy?” He asked, suddenly closed to tears at the sleepy almost ‘dad’... it was the first time Morgan hadn’t called him Jason. The kid nodded. “Hop in.” Jason said as he kissed Zel on the forehead and whispered “Sorry. You should call in tomorrow. I’m going to reschedule my classes. We’ll stay in.” He then rose up off the floor and moved to climbi into bed as Morgan took up a position in the middle, already asleep again.
