It Shouldn't Be Me

Between the Drinks

'Everything is messed up. My life, my head, everything. Why do you try to make things so complicated? I'm already with him but now my vision is not clear from my sorrow and all the drinks that have been burning my throat.'

Harry's POV

I walked out of the bar, being able to smell my own breath reeking of alcohol. I felt the dried and the tears still falling down my face. How could I do this? I kept asking myself. Why did I start this for Lexi? I do love her. I finally figured that out after the long nights of thinking how much I screwed up. How I acted, was terrible. I took my phone out and found Lexi's number. The phone rang and rang until I heard the other line pick up. "Hello?" Said a happily yet tired voice. I sniffed, the tears coming down. "L- Lexi?"

"Oh my god, Harry are you ok?" Lexi asked.

"I- I need to talk to you." I said between sniffs and hard breaths.

"Ok, are you anywhere near Ireland or in Ireland?"

"Yeah, I'm at one of the bars."

"Ok, what's the bar called?"

"The Drunk'n Loot."

"Ok, Harry I'll be there in 90 minutes." I heard the line cut and I was left in silence, except the bars outside music playing. I walked in a circle of myself thinking of what I would say. My head was pounding from the drinks and smell. I soon saw a black car pull up to the side walk headlights shinning in my face. I stood up when the person stepped out their car. I then started to walk over but stumbled. They ran over to me lifting me up and warping my arm around them. I looked at them and smiled to see it was Lexi. "Oh god Harry, why?" She said struggling with my weight.

"We- We need to talk."

"Ok let's take you to Niall's house. You should rest, then we can talk in the morning."

"No we need to talk now."

"Harry, your drunk and if we talk now your not going to remember anything and you'll feel horrible."

"I already do feel horrible." I muttered. We walked to the car and Lexi helped me in the front passenger seat. She buckled me in and ran over to the other side. She started the car and started down the road. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" There was confusion on her face.

"For," I gulped,"acting how I did before the end of tour." A tear fell down my face. Lexi leaned over and wiped it away.

"It's ok, don't stress about it." She said not making eye contact. It went silent, but then something caught my eye. I looked at her hand with a ring on it. It was silver with a lining of diamonds.

"What's that?" I pointed to her ring.

"Oh. Ummm.... It's a promise ring."

"Why do you have that."

"It seems that your waking up from your drunk'n state."

"Lexi."

"Was that a question? I'd rather not talk about this now, Harry."

"But Lexi-"

"We're here." She turned the car off and walked out. She came to my side and helped me out. We made our way to the door and went inside she sat me on the couch. "I'll get you some blankets." She said and walked down a hall way. By the time she got back I was already passed out on the couch.

Niall's POV

I woke up earlier than usual, but to see a beautiful Lexi at my side. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed behind her ear. I could see a smile form on her face. "Morning beautiful." I whispered in her ear.
