Happiness, is where you can live yourself alone and admire it. Its my only option in my life and I'm trying all the best I can to not give up on it. There's so much inspiring things to do, and I wouldn't let a single chance to waste it. I have heart...

Brad's POV:
"Are you done yet?" I sighed from outside the door where Lauren's at preparing herself.
"Few more minutes, babe." She said. She's taking forever!
I decided to sit on the sofa and pulled my phone out from my pockets and went to twitter. Same old updates. Notifications and mentions blasting. I decided to check out Halsey's. No recent tweets yet, is she busy? I really want her with me. I mean, us.
I went to Instagram and the first thing that pops out to the screen was her dressed presentable with a caption of;
"Going shopping, alone :( Where my bruhs at?"
Is she really that alone? She has lots of friends to be with. I feel bad though because she's not with me, us. I got to admit, many people had greeted me in the very morning from fans, friends and family. Lauren and i are going to the concert now and i feel uncomfortable. It feels wrong. She's this perfect type of person and Halsey is the kind of bubbly one who you can be crazy around with. I just want her with me now.
Moments later, we set off and made our way to the concert.
****
"Oh god, are you seeing this?" I breathed.
"Don't drool too much, its just a concert." Lauren mumbled beside me as the lights and music started incredibly.
"Its not just a concert. Its the ARTIC MONKEYS!|" I screamed the last sentence. She just rolled her eyes, but i shrugged it off anyways.
Through the concert, we were both jamming and singing to the songs. I was crazy, jumping around. How could a Halsey gave me tickets to this? Its heaven.
2 hours later, the concert just finished. I got two VIP backstage passes that Halsey has given me. I have been whining to Lauren as i pleased her to come with me but she prefer not because she said she's tired.
"Brad, for the last time, i'm tired. We're all jacked up." She groans.
"I'm not." I said, bluntly. She then wraps her arms around me saying;
"Can we just get home, please? For me, baby?" She coos, kissing my cheek.
Well, its my birthday. Shouldn't i be enjoying this moment? Its once in a lifetime. Being the kind person i am, i gave up and agreed to go home. Even though i feel so sad about it, i forced a smile just for her.
"Okay." i nodded.
She kissed me once again on the other cheek, as we went home.
It wasn't long for the ride home. Its currently 10pm, my birthday isn't over yet and what else should i do for it when i had just lost the chance of meeting my idols. Just as we arrived, Lauren smiled sweetly at me as she dragged me out of the car. She's staying with me tonight, and i have no idea what to do with my last hours with her. We stood in the front door, but before she opens it she says;
"Happy Birthday, Brad.." She smiles then opened the door. The lights were off but then opens with a massive people in with the house perfectly decorated.
"SURPRISE!" They shouted. A smile quickly creeped in to my face as a hint of happiness hovered over me at the thought of it. I thought i'm dying over and didn't know i have a party.
"This is the reason why i want us to be home early.." Lauren said, pecking me on the lips.
"Thank you, babe." I said. This is awesome.
"You're welcome. Enjoy yourself." She leaves me as my family, friends and others greeted me. They also gave me meaningful gifts which i really appreciates a lot. Half of the party, i just noticed, something's missing.
"Brad, my mate! Happy birthday dude! You so old now!" Tristan said as we laughed.
"Where's Halsey?" I asked.
"Oh, i don't know man. I haven't seen her around even when the surprise is happening before." He replied.
She promised she'd come.
"Did you invite her?" James asked suspiciously.
"Of course. Why wouldn't i?" I exclaimed.
"We should call her." Connor suggested. All of us nodded, she couldn't be missing. Our group's incomplete without her. She must come.
Connor had left the room outside, since the loud music was blasting. I got worried. What's up with Halsey? I feel like dying if she won't come around. Soon later, Con came back with a his face frowned.
"She won't answer my calls." Con shrugged.
"Could you atleast send her text and tell her to come over?" I suggested, as the guys looked at me with concerned faces.
"Its alright, Brad. She'll be here soon." James assured.
I just nodded.
What of she didn't show up?
___
Its been hours since the party started. And Halsey hadn't showed up, still. My worries got worse at the thought of it but tried to shrug it off. I've had a few pints with the lads and i can feel myself getting dizzy. I excused myself out to have some fresh air, inside here is sick.
Once i'm out, i sat on the sidewalk near our porch. With a beer bottle in my hand, i drank it. Getting lose. Getting drunk.
All i could think about is Halsey.
I miss her.
I want to spend this moment with her.. for the very last.
"Happy birthday to you, Brad.." I slurred then took a sip.
"Happy birthday to me." I slurred again and drank the last straw.
