It was hard to sleep the entire night. I had repeatedly woken due to my drunk mind not being able to find peace. But every time I had looked over to the side, he was there; sleeping soundly and without a care. Mouth open and small snores leaving as he tossed occasionally. God, he was beautiful.

After waking up for the final time, I kept my eyes close and hoped to go back to sleep but was unable to. I looked around the room that had a slight shine from the covered windows and immediately smiled at the place next to me. My smile was wiped clean away when I noticed the emptiness. The sheets were ruffled and no longer warm and the duvet thrown off like he had left in a hurry.

I rushed out of bed but decided to take my time when my head had a small ache. My small shoes were in my hand as I made my way through the awful smelling house and downstairs to hopefully find someone I knew. The kitchen was the worst smelling of the rooms and the alcohol and vomit smell was definitely getting to me.

Tiny footsteps came from behind me and Audriana mimicked my pinched nose. Her hair was a mess, I'm positive mine was as well, and dresses looked nothing like the ones we bought the day before.

"I need a toothbrush and a shower. No, no, I need a bath. I feel disgusting and I puked like twice last night and this morning, ugh," she held her palm to her temple.

"Is my brother here? Is Harry here?" I oddly whispered and moved to the blinds to see all the cars packed together last night were missing.

"Who cares, let's just leave. God, I wanna burger for some reason," she opened the front door and walked out as if we had a ride.

After waiting a few seconds, her head reappeared. "Your boy toy was our ride last night wasn't he?"

"Yes, stupid. Just call a cab."

We had finally arrived home after thirty minutes of Audriana raiding the house for cash and another thirty minute ride home. She walked in with me and I tiredly stomped my feet to my room.

"Cut that shįt out or I'm gonna slit your throat in your own room," Audriana pointed a finger at me menacingly and laid down in my bed with her face deep in a pillow.

"Well, excuse me."

School the following Monday was chaotic. I stuck to my normal jeans and tight orange shirt with Uggs. The only effort I put in were cute hoop earrings and a simple eye liner. I was getting the hang of this makeup thing.

My ponytail swung as Sebastian and I entered the building and went our separate ways. I searched for my best friend but on the way, was surprised to see Harry on his own. He had his headphones and was walking with a bored face to God knows where.

I approached him with a happy smile and barely even nervous. "Hi Harry."

He ripped out his left headphone and stared at me with the same expression and my nerves began shaking all at once. "What?" He shook his head in confusion almost.

"I- just- I mean- noth- hi," I was rambling again. "I just, I guess I wanted to say hey and uh, thanks for inviting me out. I had fun with you," I was feeling smaller and smaller the more he stared and the more I talked without thought.
