[[If only I had known you'd take it. But you don't, 'cause you're you. That's why I'll always love you. My pearl of the stars.]]
It was a quarter after 4 in the morning. The sun was just about to rise, and Jamie was sober for two days total at this very moment in time. The one person he wanted to share it with was in the house he stood outside of.
He didn't know which room was hers, but did he dare risk knocking on the front door?

Ronnie yawned, the sun shining bright through her window. It was her least favorite part about being here. The sun never let you sleep in.
She got herself out of bed and stretched, noticing that Jonah was still fast asleep. That wouldnt be for much longer, she decided, so she'd make him breakfast anyway.
As she warmed up the eggs and bacon and pancakes she hear something from outside. Taking care of her father and little brother for the past couple months had given her bat hearing like moms have.
She put the pan down and walked to the door, looking out the window. She saw Jamie, and her face lit up and happiness and embarrassment.
"Jamie?" She asked as she opened the door, dressed in her purple elephant PJ's with her hair back.

"I wanted to knock, but I didn't want to wake the rest of your family." Jamie locked eyes with her as he approached the doorway.
"You look beautiful."

"Are you kidding?" Ronnie looked at him with a doubtful expression. "I have no make up on, I'm in PJs, and my hair is a mess."

"You're the most beautiful, amazing girl I have ever seen in my entire life." Jamie was now face-to-face with her.
"You're incredible." He brushed a loose strand of hair behind Ronnie's ear.
"And I can finally see you. Really see you."

Ronnie blushed and looked to the ground. "You can come i..." She paused, hoping for a silent moment that today would be a good day for her father.
"Come in." She finished.

"Wait, come out here first." Jamie took several steps back from the front door.
"You have to see this."

"See what?" She asked him, taking a step barefoot out the door.

Jamie gestured to the sky behind the house.
"The sun is still rising. The sky is... Well, just look."

Ronnie smiled and sighed as she looked behind the house. "The sunrise is one of my favorite parts about living here. Even when life is falling apart, when i wake up, i know that its a new day and that everything will be fine."

"I haven't seen the sunrise in years." Jamie sighed, staring up at the brilliant colors painting the sky.
"I haven't seen anything this clear in... I don't know how long." He slipped his arms around Ronnie's waist and leaned his chin on her shoulder.
"It's all because of you."

"What do you mean?" She asked, running a hand through his hair.

"This has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I've known you for two months and six days."
He spun her around so they were face-to-face again.
"I tried so hard. I've put so much work into it, and I did it. I haven't used anything in two days, and you can't even begin to comprehend how much of an accomplishment that is for me, but it's because of you."

"They say after the first 30 days, it gets easier. I want to do it. I want to be clean if it means I can be with you."
