Things Fall Apart {Haylor}

Chapter 9

HARRY'S POV

After Selena left, Taylor sat down beside me and I caught her trying to wipe her tears without me knowing. Why was she crying...ugh I'm not ready to deal with her shit again. I got up and headed towards the bedroom.

"Where are you going?"

"Out."

"A- again...?"

She asked as her voice broke. I turned around to see her eyes watering again.

"Yeah..I'll come home early tonight."

"Promise?"

I sighed and nodded.

"Mhm."

With that, I changed into jeans and a shirt before taking my coat and unlocking the house door. Taylor walked over and gave me a slight smile before waving goodbye.

"Bye."

"Bye Harry..."

-

I pulled up into the alley of the pub and got out of my car. Time to drink my sorrows away.

"Twenty shots please."

"Alright..."

The bartender nodded and poured straight up vodka into tiny shot glasses.

"Here you go...are you alone?"

I nodded and looked at him.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh I mean..who's gonna send you home then?"

"Hmm..I don't know..I'll think about it later."

I said and brought the glass up to my mouth. There was a familiar burning sensation as the vodka travelled down my throat. It was oddly satisfying.

I drank and drank till my vision started getting blurry. Basically I was a fucking mess and I really needed to get home. Looking at the time, it was already 2.35am...I've been drinking and partying for about 4 hours.

"Thereee you go buddy..."

I slurred and placed the money on the table. He nodded and cleared the empty shot glasses on the table. I got up from my seat and stumbled back and forth as I tried to walk. Damnit..I can't possibly drive in this condition. I needed to call somebody to fetch me home.

The only person who could send me home was Taylor. But I didn't want her to...she'll be nagging at me the whole ride. I squinted my eyes as I saw a red head walk pass me.

"Ed?"

The guy turned around and walked to me.

"Harry? What are you doing here at this hour again?"

Oh it really was Ed...great! He could send me home. Ed already sent me home a couple of times...he knows where Taylor and I stay by now.

"I'm going...home nowww. Can you senddd...me...?"

He sighed and nodded, putting my arm over his shoulder to support me.

"Where's your car?"

"Hmm.."

I pointed to the car down the valley and he led me over to it. We got in and he started driving.

"I thought I told you to stop drinking..."

He said and I frowned.

"I can...do whateverrr I want..."

"Do you know how much you're hurting Taylor? You've been drinking everyday..."
