Y/Ns POV:
I know, going to a bar and drinking away your problems isn't healthy, but I needed to forget about all of this.
"Double vodka lemonade please", I asked the bartender as he nodded and made my drink. I paid once he set the drink in front of me and downed it as quick as I could. The bartender just raised a brow at me but poured me another one.
I kept drinking vodka before I decided to drink something stronger.
"You know what, I'll have tequila please", I said to the bartender.
"With what?", he asked.
"With those little shot glasses", I smiled as I pointed at shot glasses behind him. He set a glass in front of me and poured me a shot which I took.
"You should probably just leave the bottle", I said as he let out a sigh and left me the bottle. The bar wasn't too crowded thankfully so I was able to drown my sorrows in peace.
It didn't take me long to almost finish the bottle and I could barely see straight or hold myself up. I completely forgot why I was drinking so I'm assuming that's mission accomplished.
"Y/N/N", a voice said as I turned round to see some blurry figures. I squinted my eyes a few times but just huffed and turned back to the bar.
"I'm finished", I slurred to the blurry bartender.
"Don't give her anymore, Jesus Y/N/N did you drink that whole bottle?", a voice said but I recognised this one, Katie.
"Yes I did, and then some", I giggled as I finally focused my vision and seen Steph and Less.
"Do me a favour, you never saw me", I slurred as I pointed my finger at the 3 of them.
"Watch her, I'll be right back", Steph said worriedly as she walked outside.
"Watch me? I'm not a baby", I scoffed as Katie and Less gave each other a look.
"Are you okay?", Less asked softly.
"Peachy", I mumbled as I made a move to stand up but stumbled and they both caught me.
"Bathroom", I slurred as they helped me to the toilets.
"Do you need a hand?", Katie asked awkwardly as I scowled at her.
"I have hands", I mumbled as I stumbled into the cubicle and they waited outside.
I sat on the toilet and smiled to myself, Jesus I was fucked. Once I done my business, I sat on the floor against the cubicle because my legs felt weak as hell. I wish I didn't though because then I remembered why I was drunk in the first place and that's when I started to cry. How could my mum say that shit to me?
"Hey, Y/N/N what's wrong?", I heard Alessia's soft voice.
"I'm sorry", I slurred, memories of that night with Jackson when he had them tied up in my living room.
"Sorry? Can you open the door?", Less asked softly as I sniffed.
"Jackson, I'm sorry for what he put you through-"
"Y/N/N, stop. That wasn't your fault-"
"I'm a train wreck, all I do is hurt people, my mum is right"
"Your mum?", Katie asked confused but I just started to sob again.
Leah's POV:
I pulled up at the bar and seen Steph standing outside the bar waiting on me.
"Where is she?", I asked as we hurriedly walked inside the bar.
"Bathroom, Katie and Less took her in there", Steph said as I followed her through and we walked into the bathrooms. Less was crouched down outside one of the stalls and Katie was standing and nervously biting her fingers. I ignored the anxiety clearly filling the air as I walked over to the stall and Less took a step back.
"Y/N/N? Can you open the door baby?", I pleaded as her soft sobs could be heard making my heart ache.
"I'm sorry Le, I'm sorry", she cried as I wiped the tear that fell into my cheek.
"It's okay baby, why don't you open the door yeah? Let me take you home", I said softly as I heard her stumble about before she opened the door. Mascara had ran down her face and her eyes were red and hair dishevelled.
I stepped towards her and wrapped my arms around her and she wrapped hers around my back and gripped onto my shirt. She cried into my neck as I slowly guided her out of the bathroom and out of the bar. I helped her into the passenger side of my car and buckled her seatbelt. I kissed her head then closed the door before turning round to the 3 girls.
"Thank you for looking after her", I said gratefully as they nodded. "What did she say to you?", I asked them as Steph looked at Katie and Less for an answer as she wasn't in the bathroom with them. Katie and Less looked at each other before looking back at me.
"She brought up Jackson", Katie said making me tense. It's been a while since anyone has talked about him.
"She was apologising to us and then before you came in she was talking about when she was taken and the aftermath of it, she said-", Katie cut herself off as Less glanced at her.
"What did she say?", I whispered.
"She said that maybe you 2 being together is bringing you more harm than good", Less said quietly as I closed my eyes and a tear slipped down my face.
"Tell me if I'm overstepping here Leah, but what about getting her to talk to someone, like a therapist?", Steph said softly as I nodded.
"It's a good idea Steph, I'll look into it tomorrow, not sure how she'll take it though", I say glancing to the car to see she was leaning against the window asleep.
"For a while she thought I deserved better, I finally got her to believe otherwise and now her mum has brought it all back up again", I said pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. I told the 3 of them what her mum said to her and they seemed as pissed as I am.
"I should get her home, thanks again", I said hugging each one of them.
"Of course Le, text us tomorrow yeah?", Katie said as I nodded and got in the car. I looked over at Y/N/N one last time before starting the car and driving home.
