Ruthless Game (Haylor)

Chapter 4

"Morning mum" I said carrying my lazy ass on the counter table.

"Morning, have some coffee" she handed me the mug and I indulged the sweet caramel blend of the creamy goodness.

"Mum, where are you going?" I asked.

"umm, I'm just going out with Ray" I gulped, I never expected that the both of them would felt the same odd feeling.

Ray is a mechanic and he works near the hospital where my mum happened to worked there as a nurse. For nearly consecutive 17 years, he hasn't seen their children. (That's the saddest part) He's a very nice man and my mom looks exceptionally happy to be with him. I've never witnessed my mum like that since dad left. I don't know what happened to him but if one day he'll showed up, I'm still gonna accept him for who he is in my life.

"Look who's moving a little" I finally came up with something.

"Shut it, you should go out too. You can't just stay here for the rest of your life" she uttered bitterly.

"Well, I was just preparing for my date this evening" I said.

"What? Did I heard you wrong?"

"No, you heard me just right"

She screamed at the top of her lungs looking much more excited than me. Who can blame me? I hate to admit but it's my first real date. I have turned down a lot of boys since the incident happen..

It was around third grade when Toby asked me out. He was just so gentleman, sweet and all and so I gave him a shot. It was then I'd realized that I have drinking problem. Without a moment too soon, my stomach starts to tighten and I feel sick. I puke right in front of him. So I never did drink too much and never go out anymore because of that embarrassing moment. It just turned my world upside down.

"That's great, so who's the unlucky guy?" She asked.

"His name was Jace" I spoke shyly.

"Woo, I love the sound of that. Have fun, which reminds me. I need to go, Bye love" my mum called.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just go, enjoy!"

What have I done?

What have I put myself into?

I'm making a fool out of myself and I'm trying to ignore the warning..

We walked in on a fancy restaurant with Jace holding my hand, guiding me where to sit. The room temperature just got any higher. I'm having trouble catching my breath because I'm facing him, Harry and that bitch.

"Hi, I'm Aless. Nice to meet you. You look really stunning" Not what I expected. I smiled at her fake compliment.

"Hi, I'm Taylor" I stare in awe at her eyes and perfect body, this girl got a body of an hourglass. No doubt Harry dated her.

"Hey man, I'm Jace" Harry spits in disgust while staring at him.

"Well, you look so good together!" Alessandra praises. The nerve of this kid.

"So? What looks good?" Harry cuts in. I hadn't realize that he's wearing a plaid shirt on with a sweater hanging from his broad shoulders and a matching arrow chain that he got. Both of them wore the stupid necklace and I'm forcing myself to endure it no matter how tough it is.

I distract my thoughts by scrolling through my Facebook feeds. All of them are looking really great, having series of conversation and all, although he hates Jace. He still managed to look nicer than I thought he would be. I just participate randomly at their stupid mindless chatter. I never did met Harry's gaze so that I won't get paranoid at the same time, get hurt.

"She doesn't drink" Harry interrupts my sudden desire to drink, my craving throat needs something. The waiter just stopped dead on his tracks and remained silent.

"Actually, I do" I desperately said. Its not like I'm gonna drink a ton, just a little.

"No you don't" he uttered.

"Yes, I will" I said taking a grip of my glass.

"I said no" he responded, taking it from my hands. The both of them just stared at us. Confused in all aspect.

"Hey, chill out man" Jace barks in.

"Great, excuse me" I moved from my chair, leaving the three of them on the table.

"TAYLOR!" he bawled.

"You're unbelievable!" I shouted as loud as I can.

"What's the matter? You know you had drinking issues" he spoke, unable to think clearly.

"You honestly, think that I would fall from your trap, well guess what? I'm not stupid as you think!" I shrieked on his face.

"Fuck, I was only trying to protect you" he replied.

"Protect me from what? Having fun? You know what? You win, you always win!" I said sharply.

"I was only doing what's right, and you think I'm doing this on purpose? Fucking hell, it's no fun when I saw you falling for the wrong guy Taylor. He's a jerk!" He yelled.

"Don't tell me who to date, it's none of your business! On the first freaking place, why did you even care?" I said insulting him.

"Because you're my best friend for fucks sake! I'm not playing with you if that's what you think. He's an ass Tay, you're too good for him" that just leave me breathless.

"I don't care for who the hell he is, I'm not asking for your goddamn opinion Harry! Can you leave my life alone?" I said loudly.

"You're so naive, just what I thought" the words parted his mouth. Leaving me there, breaking me into million pieces.

"STOP RUINING MY LIFE! YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING? WELL, HERE'S THE THING, YOU DON'T!" I screeched at him, hoping he'll heard.

"You never will" I murmured, crying my hearts out.
