Niall Horan



As I enter Funky Buddha,One by Ed Sheeran is playing from the DJ booth.


Nice. Cause tonight I will be drunk as I have ever been.


I looked around the bar to find a place to stay but all the tables are occupied, and I don't want to look stupid on going here alone so I decided to go into the counter.


"A bottle of beer please, thanks." I said to the bartender.


I'm always here at Funky Buddha together with Liam to have fun, but now I'm sitting here alone and feeling miserable.


This feeling is new to me. For the past years of my life, all I ever experienced is fun, I never worried about anything or something. I mean, look at my life now, I'm in the biggest band on earth. All we do in life is to write songs, record them, have concerts every year, travel around the world, tv appearances, interviews, pictorials, music video shoot, name it. And we always get paid with that.

I lived my life in the coolest way I knew because I don't want to bother about some things and I never thought that I will suffer that one day. I never thought that things will come this way.


The bartender came back with my drink, and looks at me quizzically.


"Yeah, it's me, Niall Horan of One Direction. Want an autograph?" I said to him.


"No sir. I'm sorry." He replied.


"Naw, just don't tell anybody that I am here alright? I want to get rid of publicity now." I said and paid with a big tip.


He get the bill and just nodded and turned away.


I looked around again to see if there's someone here who knows me (well I guess that was stupid because everybody knows me). I don't want to be noticed now, I don't want to do smiles for the cameras or have another rumor or story about me spreading again all over the internet.


I just want to be alone now, and think.


I am taking my first gulp of beer when the girl in my left shouted "Hey, can you guys change that dumb song? It's so stupid!"


I stared at her. Who the fuck will say that Ed Sheeran's song is stupid? If she's not a girl, I'll go straight at her and give her a punch. But I never do that so I won't.


"Crap. Why does everything tends to be bullshit when you're going through something stupid?" she said to herself after she received smirks from the DJ.  Then she turned to the bartender. "Another beer please!" she shouted.


Yes. Everything gets bullshit when you are experiencing something shitty. Then it will make everything worst and you don't know what you're going to do next. Why it is always like this?


"Because being shitty will only make your life a big piece of shit." The bartender said in response.


Right. Shits do fucking happen every time. Even when you don't want it, it comes, and when it comes, you become shitty because you can't handle it. And when it happens, finding your way out is the hardest thing to do. Then in the end, the easiest way you know is just to forget it, and never bother about it.


The music changed into Jason Derulo's Talk Dirty and now I can't focus because the alcohol starts to take over my brain, and the music makes everything blurred.


Focus Nialler, focus. You need to think things through. You need to sort things out, and decide on what you are going to do with your life. You need to fix this as soon as possible.


I drink the beer in my bottle until there's nothing left.


"Give me another three bottles please." I called to the same bartender.


This time, the lady beside me stand up and shouted.


"Hey, to all of you who was dumped by their boyfriend or girlfriends, let's take a shot! Cheers!" And all heads are turned to her.


"And to the stupid ones who can't accept the fact that they were left without a good reason, let's just drink our ass out until we have the courage to face it! Hey, join me! Cheers!" she cried again. She gestures toward me like giving a toast and I look behind to see who she's talking about. There's no one there except me, so I guess its me. Or am I drunk also that I didn't get what's going on.


"Yeah, just drink your ass out until you die bitch!" someone from the crowd said.


She didn't respond, instead she drink all the contents of her shot glass in just one gulp and sit down again. Wow, this one is really a though drinker. I guess she's already drunk.
