Got in a DUI accident
I'm grateful only me and my car were involved/hurt. I've been told it's a miracle I'm alive, and that everyone is glad I'm okay. My family and friends have been shockingly supportive.
But I don't feel that. I wish I had died that night.
My long time partnership might be dead. He told me yesterday that he actually hated me a bit. But I guess we'll see how that goes.
Went to an AA meeting last night-- what I'm going to count as my first.
I feel like I'm at the bottom of a well begging for rain, praying to drown.

“I’ll call out your name, but you won’t call back.” | Thermometer | Delirium | “They don't care about you.”
Fili/Kili, T Fast Car (formerly 'Dead Batteries') AU (Ao3 / Tumblr) 1,036 words
--
A/N: Direct follow up to Breaking Point, this time from Fili's POV.
Warnings for: poor decisions regarding operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol, ensuing accident (very minor injuries), swearing, mostly emotional whump/angst.
--
Fili glared down at the phone in his hand. His words replayed in his mind. Again. And again. His finger hovered over the “call back” button.
But…
His. Goddamn. Fucking. Words.
Why would Kili answer if Fili did call him back?
“Fucking Christ,” Fili swore. He grabbed his black canvas vest from a hook and kicked open the heavy metal door. He stepped out into the cold mountain air. He shrugged on the vest. The cold brought him back to himself just a little bit, sobered him up just enough to feel sick for another reason other than the amount of alcohol he had consumed that night. The door slammed. “What do you want, Kili.”
Kili’s voice was muffled. “I…” a shuddering breath, “I’m sorry, Fee. I fucked up. I—”
Fili’s stomach twisted uncomfortably. He could tell that Kili had been crying. Probably was still crying. Fili gritted his teeth. He had had his fair share of tears, not that Kili had asked. “When has ‘sorry’ ever fixed anything?” Fili snapped angrily before anything harsher could come to mind. Before he let Kili know how he had really been doing, before he treated Kili like the friends that they had been before anything else started, before he bared himself to Kili’s eyes.
Kili groaned. “Fili—”
“What.” Fili’s hands curled into fists. He was walking. Gravel and ice crunched beneath his black boots. 
“I miss y—”
Fili hung up without even thinking.
The plastic creaked under the force of his grip. He kicked the gravel of the parking lot. Pulled back his arm to hurl his phone into the darkness. He didn’t. He clenched the phone tighter. He screamed into the darkness. 
He exhaled heavily through his nose. Without thinking about it he stuffed his phone into his pocket; unclipped his keys from his belt loop, and started up the dirt bike. The same dirt bike he and Kili had spent so many hours fixing, and pretending to fix. 
The familiar rumble of the bike between his legs settled his racing heart just a bit. He took a deep breath before pulling his helmet on and buckling it. The visor and the chin guard narrowed his world view to the width of the road and a bit more. The roar of the bike was muffled by the padding, replaced by his own heavy breathing. He fixed the visor roughly in place and kicked the bike into gear. He thought he heard someone call his name, but he did not look back. 
Fili rode away from town. The roads got narrower and the curves got tighter as he headed deeper into the foothills of the Sierra. Fili pushed the bike harder each time his words came back to him, each time he felt a pang of regret at hanging up the phone, each time Kili’s face came into his mind. 
He felt the back tire lose traction in a turn or two. 
He knew he should slow down. 
But then, “When has ‘sorry’ ever fixed anything?” spurred him higher and faster. 
The yellow sign indicated a tight switchback with a cautionary 15 beneath it. Fili watched the speedometer needle move higher. The wind bit into his exposed skin. Eyes fixed on the solid yellow lines.
And then everything was spinning.
The lines were gone.
Everything slide past him sideways.
Impact knocked the air from Fili lungs.
Plastic screamed where it was gouged by the asphalt. 
And then everything stopped. 
There was the cold wind, Fili’s own breathing, and nothing else. 
Fili’s breath shook. He pushed himself into a seated position. He was near the edge of the road, where the non-existent shoulder gave way to a steep drop down the mountain. Numb fingers unbuckled his helmet and traced the deep lines. The knowledge of what would have happened if he had not been wearing his helmet was there, but it did not touch him, not yet. 
He moved slowly. He waited for something to hurt. His jeans were torn open on one side, his thigh embedded with dirt, asphalt, and ice. But nothing hurt.
Fili saw the flickering headlight of the bike below him in the trees. He could already see that there was going to be no fixing the bike. 
The bike where Kili had pressed close to Fili’s back.
Where Kili had wrapped his arms around Fili’s waist and kissed his neck just beneath the ear.
Where once, after Fili revealed a fantasy that consisted of a blowjob on the bike, Kili had moved a hand down from Fili’s waist to fondle him through his jeans at a stop sign in the middle of nowhere. They had stayed like that until some SUV came up behind them and honked its horn. Flushed, excited, and embarrassed Fili stalled the bike and then chirped the tires before he got the bike moving forward again. Much to the consternation of the SUV driver. Kili laughed, his breath warm on Fili’s cheek. 
That bike was gone now.
Fili pulled out his phone and he called Thorin. Thorin’s questions were brusque. He told Fili to stay where he was and that the police would be there soon. 
Fili hung up. 
Everything was going wrong. Had been going wrong since before graduation. Fili wiped his running nose. He opened his phone again.
This time he dialed Kili’s number.
Six rings.
And then an answering machine.
With an automated message.
Fili exhaled and stared at the screen with the seconds ticking by. Then he saw a glint of metal in the dirt just below the shoulder. Carefully he descended the slope to retrieve the key ring that had been ripped from his keys. It said “Kiera” on one side and San Francisco on the other with a depiction of the Golden Gate bridge. “Kiera” was the closest thing they could find to Kili’s name in the gift shops two summers back.
Fili returned to the road and sat on the edge of the white line. He sat there waiting for flashing red, blue, and yellow lights to find him. He ran his thumb over the keychain like it was a worry stone. His nose was running again, but not from the cold.
“Kili.”

i truly have less sympathy for eiffel after The Reveal because. first off, he accepted a deal that no prisoner gets, much less the vast majority of people incarcerated for fabricated and nonviolent crimes. he gets to go to space to pay for his daughter's medical bills and education for effectively the rest of her life.
he DID actually make a choice to be the communications officer of the uss hephaestus, a job which he did not take seriously while knowing that some small reparation for the harm he caused his daughter and her mother was on the line. as much as he doesn't want to be there, it was still a choice that he actively made, that he could have rejected, and he chose not to.
i would've understood if he decided 'fuck it, i'm just not doing ANYthing' after he found out that he was sent up to be an experiment, but he was regularly endangering the lives of his crewmates well before he found out his true role on the mission and hilbert's objective. 'he's only up there to be an experiment, so it's fine for him to have acted that way' only holds water if he actually knew that. for all he knew, he was just making the lives of his crewmates dangerous and miserable for kicks.
the worst part is that guys like this actually exist and i've met plenty of them. the only unrealistic thing about eiffel, and the thing that keeps me from writing him off as a character entirely, is that he actually experienced some growth by the end

not my Lyft driver worriedly venting to me about someone (a “kid” so maybe a teen) doing 110mph in my 25mph neighborhood at 1AM and running from the cops in a nice car his mommy bought him and getting away with it
just this once I’d break my own rules to beat this kid
