Uncertain Attachment

The Drunk Man and His Problems

"I'm sorry Harry. I'm really busy right now. I can't go there."

"Really busy? As in, busy-busy?" she said cutely over the phone. August could imagine her pouting and he smiled as he imagine her cute face.

"Yeeep. Don't worry, I'll be staying at your place tonight."

"Okay then." a pause, he could hear a faint yet loud rock music in the background.

"See you later, I love you." she said, sounding a little pale.

"Aww, don't worry my little angel, I'll make it up for you later." he said so he could cheer her up, "Besides, you'll have fun there. Spending time with your family. Okay?"

"Yeeaaah.. Bye then." she end the call as August sighs and looked down. She was asking him to go to her so he could finally meet her parents, but he didn't want to because he's taking Harry for granted and he can't even break up with her. She's a sweet girl, I can't have her heart broken over me! his mind would excuse while his heart scowls and insist to break up with Harry and start dating Vanessa instead.

"There you are! How are you?!" Rach was standing in front of him. He had been waiting for her in the park  after he took his lunch.

"Wow. Heeeey.. I'm good!" he said, Rach took his hand and hold it and squeeze it a little. She smiled widely at him.

"Good to know,  have any new girlfriends eh?" she asked, August scowls and snort.

"Naaah... Have one but I don't know if I'm serious about her." he said lazily, the happy expression of his ex girlfriend was gone and she was suddenly serious.

"August, I need to have a serious talk with you." she said, August scowls, then he smiles, expecting that she was joking him but she didn't smile back.

"Okay. About what?"

"About ... " she let his hand go and made one step backward. "Us." she added.

When August was walking towards Harry's apartment, his feet was feeling uncontrollable and he can feel himself swaying. His head heavy because of the strong alcohol and his eyes are closing slowly then will open again when it closed. He reached the door and knocked on it with his drunk voice. No one answered in his first three heavy knocks and he peak at the window, the lights are out but one night light shines in the kitchen.

"Damn it. She's sleeping." he murmured, he leaned his forehead on the wall and took a deep breathe.

"Harrrrrrreeeeyyyhh!!!" he yelled. "Harrrryyyyy!! Daammn! Open up!!!" he yelled again. He banged the door and he was gonna lean his forehead again when the door opened and he hit the ground, head first.

"Oh my gosh! August!" Harry gasps and went to her knees to help him up. "August, you're drunk!" she said after she smelled the alcohol on him. She lifted him on her shoulders and August forced himself to stand up.

They end up hugging each other, his head throbbing from the bumped he had when he fell down the floor. Harry helped him stand up properly.

"Why are you drunk? I thought you were busy." she said, scowling and pouting at him. When he didn't answer and just groaned, she lead him to the couches and made him sit down there.

"Harry." he called out when she was out of his sight. "Harry!" he yelled, Harry came back with a wet, warm cloth and started wiping his face and down to his neck.

August groan as he feel the warmness of the cloth. Harry took off his shirt and she was out of sight again. "Harry!" he called out again with his eyes close, he was gonna call her again when she suddenly speak.
