#10: Keiko POV-Keiko/Yusuke

I won't ask him why he does it...and I'll never tell him that he does. I won't ask him why he feels the need to buy so much alcohol, intending it to last the week, only to drink it all in one night. I won't ask him why he stares off into space, mindlessly pouring beer down his throat. I clean up the messes and act like things are fine. ...I won't tell him that I see so much of his mom in his habits, passing out in the middle of the kitchen. Because he always wakes up in bed, takes aspirin, kisses me goodbye before running to work. ...I won't ask him why he's keeping it inside, whatever it is that torments him. Because, just like when we were kids, he'll deny it all, react violently. So, instead of talking to him, i sit in the bathtub and cry, fixing my makeup before running to the store, making sure my husband has his fix when he gets home...
