You Should Be With Me (Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 99: Moving Along

   My heart sank as I watched Him kiss the new girl around his arm. But why the hell do I care?, I thought to myself. I'm happy with Nick, really. Harry and I made our choices, and we're going to have to stick with that. For the rest of our lives. 

   We were celebrating the boys' new album. Liam said that Harry was going to be running a little late, so we had taken a few shots. I was feeling a little tipsy already. But I was able to handle a few more. 

"Now that everyone is here, let's pop open this bad boy",  Liam said grabbing the champagne bottle.

With a quick flick of his thumb on the cork, it flew off and a stream of the champagne came shooting out of the glass bottle. Zayn grabbed the flute glasses and handed me one. 

"Let's make a cheers", Shelly said with a big old smile.

I couldn't help but feel my heart beating fast when I saw Harry look at her the way he did. He looked at me and I quickly shifted eye contact. 

"Let's cheers to the boys' and their new album", she continued and raised her glass.

"Cheers to all the love and support this girl has shown me", Harry said, bringing her closer to him with his arm around her. 

We all clinked our glasses together and I chugged that thing like I was dying of thirst. 

"Damn, Lany, you want another one?", Louis asked. 

I couldn't hand him the flute fast enough. He poured me another one and I drank half of it within a second. 

"Slow down, crazy lady", Nick said laughing lightly.

I was nervous, for whatever odd reason. I walked over to the aux chord and started playing music. 

"Any musical requests?", I asked. 

"I've got one", Harry said, walking toward me.

I handed him my phone and he typed in a song. I tried to look over him to see, but he was so tall compared to me that I couldn't. He handed me back my phone and I looked at the name of the song. Moving Along by 5 Seconds of Summer started playing. 

"Thinking  about you lots lately...", the song began.

Everyone started pouring their drinks and our little kick back quickly became a mini dance party with the few of us around. Niall dimmed the lights and turned on the colorful changing lights. Shelly was dancing around with Harry and they were laughing at each other all throughout the song. I sipped on my drink, I must've had at least 4 already. 

"It took me a couple drinks to admit it, I know I'm the stupid one", the song continued. 

I started to dance with Nick to redirect my focus. I was definitely feeling the buzz. Dancing around and twirling around, I felt like I was on a cloud by myself. And my mind was only on one thing, Them. When I turned around, Harry grabbed Shelly and caressed her cheeks. They looked at each other's eyes. Then, they kissed. 

"Scarred of moving on, but you're already gone... So if you're moving on, won't you just tell me..."

I took another big gulp of my already half finished drink before I poured myself another one. Their stupid little smiles and kisses made me feel sick to my stomach. Or is it the amount of alcohol I had? I questioned. The song ended and the night kept going on.

   After a few songs, some more dancing, and a few more drinks, a slower song came on. The guitar started playing. A sadder tone blasted through the speakers around us. Another 5 Seconds of Summer song played. I was in a daze. Harry pulled Shelly closer, as did Nick with me. I had no idea what I was feeling or what was going on around me besides feeling like I was watching everything in third person. Why do I feel so numb?

"So I drown it out, like I always do", the song played.

Nick would twirl me around. I couldn't tell if it was that, or the amount of alcohol I consumed, that made me feel like that. Is the room getting too hot? Or is it just me?

"I chase it down, with a shot of truth..."

I poured myself another drink and I chugged the crap out of it. Harry didn't bother to look at me as I almost tripped over my own two feet. He grabbed Shelly by the head and gave her a kiss on the forehead, picked her up and spun her around. Was I just dizzy looking at her being spun? Or am I really feeling dizzy?

I felt a tear escape my forehead. Or was that sweat? I have no idea what's going on with me. Harry pulled her in for a hug and gave her a huge kiss. The piano part of the song started playing. The song got louder the more I looked at them. My vision became blurrier the more I looked at them. 

"So I drown it out like I always do... 

And I chase it down 

With a shot of truth

That my feet don't dance 

Like they did with you."

And then everything went black.
