One (Niall Horan FanFiction)

Chapter 3: Drunk

Niall Horan

"Hey you, are you also stupid?" She asks after she emptied her glass and sat down again.

I turn around again to see if to whom she is talking to. "You idiot, I'm talking to you!" she said when I faced her.

I was shocked. She called me idiot? Wow, she've got some attitude huh? No girl ever tried to call me like that. Every time I met someone at bar, they try their best to flirt with me but this one seems to be opposite. But I must admit she got it right. If I'm not an idiot, I won't be sitting here alone tonight.

"Yeah, I guess so. I was stupid enough to come here and drink my problems out."  I replied.

"All of us were stupid. My boyfriend... oh, do I still have a boyfriend?" she waves it off then laughs "My shitty ex-boyfriend was so stupid to dump me." she turn to her glass and take a shot but it was empty. "I was so stupid to act like this, drinking my ass out until I fucking forget him. I was so fucking stupid."

She fell silent.

All of a sudden I forgot all my troubles and feel sorry for this girl. I really hate it whenever I see girls getting miserable because their boyfriends dumped them for no good reason.

"Why did he left you?" I ask.

She takes my bottle of beer and poured some into her glass and take a gulp from it.

"He said he don't love anymore."

"Why?"

"I dunno. That's what all he said. Fuck, curse that day, I remember it again" she said and I can see in her eyes that she's close to tears. "We're in this baywalk, sitting at the edge, watching the sunset... oh, god, its very romantic, who would have thought that we will broke up that way." Her voice is now cracking. "Then out of nowhere he just said that he wants to break up with me." She start sobbing. "I asked, then he said, there's no point in continuing our relationship, that it is not going in the right path, that he don't feel the love anymore." Now she's crying.

Now both of us are silent.

"My goodness, why am I even telling my tragic story to you? Why would you even care? No one ever give a damn about me." She said like she's talking to the air out of nowhere. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you sir, and if you feel uncomfortable now, you can leave me here alone. I honestly don't need a company tonight. I'm not a charity case anyway."

I must admit I feel uncomfortable now cause I'm not used to listening stuffs like this. The boys are always discreet when it comes to their love lives and I don't have girl friends so its just my first time to hear a break up from a girl's point of view.

She's not a charity case but I know she really need someone to listen to her.

"Is that what all he said?" I ask again.

She was striken. She hesitated for a moment then said "That dumbass? Yeah, after he said that he don't love me, he left me there, alone with no other word." She take my bottle of beer again and this time, she drink directly from it. She drink until its nearly empty.

Then she cried again.

I badly want to know who that guy was so I can give him a lesson. Now she's crying in front of me, because of her ex, who don't even deserve to be called a man, because he dumped his girl. And girls don't even deserve to be dumped like this. They don't deserve to cry because of a boy.

I can't think of comforting words to say, I just want to kick the ass of whoever made her cry.

"Why don't you just go straight at him and punch him in face and curse his name and hate him and forget him so you don't have to be miserable like this? I mean, look at you, you don't deserve to be treated like this. He's not worth all the tears." Crap, I guess that was so stupid to say.

"Believe me, I'd want to do all those things to him, but I can't... I guess I still want him back."

"You should forget him and move on. Get over with it because he already get over with you that easy."

Now she's crying very hard. I don't know what to do or say, I'm not good at comforting girls about their heartbreaks because I never had a sister, and most of my friends are boys and we just drink our heartbreaks out.

We sit here in silence for minutes, except that it is disturbed by her sobs, and all my three bottles are empty, so I ask again for another bottles. When it came, she take one, drink some and she speak again.

"Fuck, why am I messing with myself just because of him? Maybe he's in his apartment right now sitting in a couch eating pizza while watching tv and not troubled. I should have fun tonight, now that I am single and free. He dumped me? Fine. I'll treat him as a trash. He's not worth chasing for." Then she drink the bottle of beer again, until it's nearly empty.

"Hey, join me, let's forget all our troubles and drink and be the happiest people on earth tonight! Those shitty things don't deserve our worries. There's so much fun out there!" she said and gave an unopened bottle a toast.

And we really drank our ass out.
