Complementary 5: Out of Mind

Harry's POV

Feeling so frustrated with what just happened, going to the club seemed like a quite good option. Maybe drinking would help. Well, I didn't actually drink. I would only drink in some occasions and I wasn't a big drinker myself. Even, I used to be the sober among of my cousins or friends. But this time, I thought of drinking for the whole night.

"We're in family occasion now, aren't we?" I reasoned as Nate asked me about drinking for many glasses. I pointed a man who was walking around the bar with a bottle of drink. Soon, I commanded him. "You, give me more!"

"But you've-"

I cut his sentence immediately, "I said more!" he had no right to forbid me. He didn't even know me. I could drink as much as I wanted. I was pissed until I finally got what I asked for.

"Whoa, there! Chill!"

"Pfft..."I rolled my eyes, then started to gulp the drink fast. Within seconds, I felt like something was going to come out of my mouth. I threw up. My breath got heavier. I could tell I was choking, but it didn't stop me. I still asked for more, "One m-"

"Fuck, Harry!" Nate had her eyebrows came together as the expression of her anger. "You've drunk too much. Stop it now!"

"I can do whatever I want!" I protested at her order. Soon as I felt dehydration got me, my sight came back to the man in the bar, "Where's my drink? I ordered another glass of it! Fast!"

Still, no drink except the one in a glass in front of Nate. Due to the dehydration, I drank it and grumbled after that it was only mineral water. Nate nagged, "You've thrown up! What do you expect? You're gonna drive, you can't drive us home drunk like this. You should've been the sober!"

I didn't respond her talk. Who cared about throwing up and driving them home? All I cared was about the demand. All I needed was to have my own peace, "Fuck it! Fuck school and every rule it has! Fuck people!" I kept swearing whilst punching my fist to the table for several times as hard as I could.

I couldn't control the emotion. School gave me hard options of staying away from her or being kicked out. I knew I could just be dropped out of school and go to other school so things could be just fine. So I could still be together with Sky anytime I wanted.

But where should have I gone to school later on if I was kicked out? It was quite scandal for school in eastern habitude. Asking mum to get me another school after being kicked out? All I knew was that mum would never allow me. I had a deal of obeying all the things while living in Indonesia otherwise she would take me back to our hometown.

I had an ego of running away with Skyler. Yet, I realised that I wasn't ready to be responsible for the girl. I wasn't a citizen in Indonesia, my visa would end in three years and they could deport me from not having a document to stay after the three years. That was how it worked for Skyler if I took her to my place as well. I should've had a proper job to pay every bill and everything. At this moment, I was just a student. There was no way I could follow my ego. She could've had bright future. It wasn't that easy. I didn't want to ruin her.

"Stop punching your fist to the table! Damn, I thought you hate rude words." she took my hand. Then she stood up, taking me with her. She tried hard even though my weight was obviously heavier than hers. "Hey double J! I'm dragging Harry to the car!"

"What are we going to do in the car huh? A backseat sex?" I smirked as my mood swung.

"Blimey! I thought your animal soul had gone somewhere after that Lavender thing." she looked at me quizzically. Again, my mood swung with Lavender name being mentioned. I thought my tears were about to fall but Nate continued speaking before I could, "Anyway, no way. No even though you're hot as hell. No even though I'm so horny. I'm a loyal girlfriend, darling. You are a loyal boyfriend too, aren't you?"
