You Are My Pain, Divine

Chapter - 8

Taylor was passing through the corridor fixing his dress. He had a nice talk with his kitten in the bathroom. They exchanged numbers so they could have a proper talk next time.
"Collin wake up."
Taylor stopped walking and looked at the closed door beside him. Did he hear it wrong? That's when he heard a sniffle. He opened the door and saw Collin lying on the floor with his friend sitting beside him. Max looked at Taylor and cried harder.
"Help."
Taylor sat down and patted Collin's cheeks.
"Baby? Wake up."
Max cried harder when they got no response.
"What happened?"
Max pointed to the whiskey bottle and Taylor felt like smacking the kid on head. Out of all days the kid had to do this today? Liam is going to freak out if he found out his baby is passed out drunk.
"Did he drink half of that?"
Max nodded hesitantly.
"This brat. Look kid we have to bring him to his room without his papa seeing, for that we need to wake him up. Ok?"
Taylor went outside and brought a cup of water and poured it on Collin's face making him open his eyes.
"Where....Uncle Tay?"
Collin had a goofy smile on his face.
"Shut up! Stand up. We are going to your room."
Taylor and Max pulled Collin up. He couldn't stand straight. He felt like his legs were jelly and the whole world is spinning. Taylor placed his hands under Collin's underarm and Max on the other side. They were now holding his whole weight also making sure to look like Collin is standing on his own. Taylor looked at Max nodding and they both started walking towards the living room. By now most of the guests have left, only leaving few of the staffs and some investors of Ronan. They walked keeping the stairs as their goal. Liam saw saw Taylor, Max and Collin walking. But he felt something is wrong. He started walking towards them. Taylor saw Liam walking to them.
"Max walk fast, i think Liam is coming towards us."
They really tried to walk faster but, they were caught by Liam.
"Hey-"
Liam stopped talking and looked at Collin. His eyes were unstable, droopy, and it looks like both Taylor and Max is holding him up. Liam stepped forward and sniffed Collin, his eyes widening.
"You're drunk?"
Liam whisper yelled. Collin just giggled. Liam pulled Collin away from their hands. Collin stumbled a little but Liam managed to make him stand straight.
"We are going to talk about this now!!"
Liam told pulling Collin towards his room.
"Liam don't be harsh on him."
Taylor told. Liam turned back glaring at him.
"You don't interfere in this."
Collin pushed Liam's hand away making Liam to loose balance a little. Liam's hand went down to his stomach in reflex. 
"Why are you getting mad at uncle Tay?"
Collin shouted gaining attention from the guest.
"Baby please lower your voice."
Liam said trying to calm him down.
"No! Why are you getting angry at him? I'm the one who is drunk, you should be angry at me. Not him."
Collin looks at his papa with a scowl.
"Is it because you're jealous of him? "
Liam frowned in confusion.
"Oh don't act clueless. I know everything. I know uncle Tay and dad were engaged and you came between them and married dad."
Liam looked shocked and the guests all gasped in surprise. Ronan rushed towards them hearing the shouting and commotion.
"You don't know anything."
Liam whispered and looked at his husband. Hoping some support thinking he would defend him. But Ronan had his mouth shut and looked away. Liam wanted to scoff. Collin looked at  Taylor and had a sympathetic smile.
"It should've been you by my dad's side. You should have married him. You should have been my papa. I wish you were my papa."
Liam took a deep breath, trying his best not to let the tears fall down. Collin passed out again and Ronan rushed towards him to stop him from hitting the ground. Ronan held Collin in his arms bridal style. He walked towards the stairs to Collin's room.
"Everyone the party is over. Thank you for gracing us with your presence."
Liam said with a smile and followed Ronan. Ronan went to Collin's room and tucked him in. When Ronan came outside Taylor was outside fuming with rage.
"What the fuck Ronan?!?!?! Why didn't you do anything when Collin was behaving like that? What happened to the promise you made that day?"
Ronan didn't say anything except avoid Taylor's angry eyes. Taylor scoffed.
"So you're going to act like this way? Fine."
Taylor walked away but stopped and walked back to Ronan. He punched Ronan on the jaw. Ronan stumbled back holding his aching jaw.
"This is for being a pussy and for not standing up for your husband."
Taylor walked away leaving Ronan alone in the hallway. He sighed and went to their room. Liam was stripping out of his clothes. He knew Ronan was behind him, but he didn't say anything. Ronan stepped forward desperate to apologise.
"Liam i-"
" If you are going to apologise, don't. I'm used to it. Collin disrespecting me."
Liam got out of the last piece of cloth and walked to the wardrobe to get a T-Shirt to wear.
"And you not defending me. I'm used to it all."
Liam smiled and got under the blankets. Ronan felt like shit knowing his husband was hurt and one of the reasons was his inability to speak up for his husband. Ronan removed his coat and joined Liam under the blankets. He put his hand on Liam's waist and pulled him closer. Liam put his hand above Ronan's and closed his eyes. Ronan kissed his hair and nuzzled into it.
"I'll make sure to fix everything i fucked up."
Liam heard the words, but he is afraid it is too late. His heart could only handle so much hurt and disrespect.
