Heartbreak Weather -N.H

where are my friends?

Chapter 18

Skylar's POV:

We are at Kiara's favorite club and I've been given 4 shots so far. Kiara refuses to be under Harry's tab so she made her own. They both know I wouldn't be here if they weren't buying my drinks considering I never usually do this and I have to be pulled out of the house to do so. Do I usually have fun once I'm finally here? Yes, they always make it fun. But I feel bad for having fun. Harry always tells me it's okay but I still feel bad.

I leave Harry to go to the bar to order more shots to really get this party started. There's two girls standing at the bar once I approach. With alcohol in my system it makes it easy to start conversation. These girls and I chat back and forth and they are super sweet. One of them works at a pet store because she loves animals and the other is in beauty school. I don't even know their names but I know their jobs. I giggle to myself as I think about my life. I'm pretty sure these girls are drunk because they start laughing with me, but they have no idea what it's about. It kinda makes me feel better though. Having a good laugh. Ah it's like a sigh of relief.

I order shots for the woman I met and we take them together. I could see myself hanging out with them. But when I'm drinking I just wanna be friends with everyone. So is it really me or the alcohol talking?

After many more shots and a lot of dancing later I've lost Harry and Kiara. I make my way outside to look for them but they aren't there. I pull my phone out to see a text from Niall. I instantly feel sad. Without reading the text I call him.

"Skylar" His voice chirps through the phone and now I'm even more sad. My cheeks become wet at the sound of his voice. I knew I started enjoying his company but I didn't think I'd miss it that much. Ugh why am I crying. It's the alcohol. There's no way I haven't blacked out tonight. I've consumed a lot of alcohol. I'm not thinking properly.

Niall continues to talk as I sniffle into the phone. "Are you okay? What's going on?" He asks. It tugs at my heart. Does he really care?

"Why are you so mean?" I ask definitely sounding drunk. I'm also crying so that doesn't help what so ever.

"Skylar are you drunk?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Skylar I need you to use words. I'm not with you so you actually have to talk." He says like he knew I shook my head.

"Nope" I say popping the p.

"You definitely are." He says the tone of his voice changing.

"Am not. You're not here so how would you know? You left all rude like and haven't showed back up." I say feeling so much sadness.

"I called and sent texts. I thought you didn't want to talk to me so I haven't came over. Plus Harry's kinda pissed at me." He says and I giggle.

"Where are you?" He asks and I look around.

"Um not really sure. It's Kiara's favorite club but I can't really remember the name of it right now." I say thinking really hard.

"Nope got nothing." I huff.

"Where's Harry and Kiara? Are they both with you?" He asks me. Man he has so many questions and it's hard to think right now.

"Uh yeah I came here with them but I don't know where they are now. I came outside to look but nothing." I say walking further from the door.

"Okay go back inside it's not safe to be outside alone. I know what club it is I'm on my way." He says and I can hear shuffling.

"So bossy." I huff walking back towards the building.

"Just want you to be safe. Don't go back outside I'll come in to get you." He says and I hear the car door shut.

"Yeah yeah." I say then hang up.

Somehow I end back up at the bar getting more drinks. I still don't see Harry and Kiara anywhere. Where the hell are they? Did they gain some type of invisible super power? Now that would be cool. I'm interrupted from my thoughts when someone grabs my hand.

"Sky" Niall sighs taking the drink from my hand.

"Hey I wasn't finished with that." I say as I watch him finish my drink for me. That was hot. He places the cup down on the bar before pulling me towards the door.

"Woah too fast too fast." I say stumbling into him.

"What am I going to do with you?" Niall says shaking his head with a smile. Before I know it I'm over his shoulder and we are outside. I let out a laugh as he carries me.

"You know you carry me like this a lot." I say rubbing my hand against his lower back.

"Well you're stubborn so I have to." He finally places me back down onto my feet and I grab onto him to gain my balance. He opens the door to his car and helps me inside. After he puts the seatbelt over me and buckles it he closes the door. Once he's in he quickly starts the car and pulls away from the club. I can't help but stare. He's beautiful and I'm drunk.

"Skylar?" Niall asks smiling.

"Yeah?" I quickly respond resting my arm on the middle console.

"You're staring." He smirks and I suck in a breath. I never take my eyes away though. I feel drawn towards him for some reason.

"I know." I say with a smirk. He quickly glances over at me then looks back at the road.

"You're driving me crazy." He shakes his head. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. It doesn't seem like he said it in a bad way. I see a smile form and now I know what crazy he meant. I pull my eyes away from him and focus on the road. My head starts to feel heavy so I lean my head over to the side. Wherever I placed it feels comfortable.

"Skylar are you falling asleep on me?" I hear his beautiful voice enter my ears.

"Sleepy" I say and then all I see is black.
