Give Me Love

Breaking the rules - Part 4

As they all pulled up to the pub Haley began to feel a little nervous by the amount of people that she saw standing outside waiting to be let in, but she pushed all of her nerves and anxiety to the side when they got out of the car. She couldn't let her cousins win, she needed to prove them wrong. Harry didn't waist anytime reaching his arm out to her once more. She took it this time without hesitation as Louis followed behind him, not acting like his normal self. 

When they got to the door the bouncer let them past everyone else that was waiting. When Haley stepped inside her ears filled with music that she didn't recognize and she could feel the vibrations moving through out her body. Liam led the way to two booths. Haley slid in first on one side of the first booth and then Harry slid in next her. Louis slid in across from them. Niall land Liam both stopped for a second and looked at each other. Who was gonna be the one stuck with Debbie and Tess in the other booth. Liam gave in and went to the second booth with Haley's cousins as Niall slid in next to Louis. Liam still felt really guilty for causing Haley to panic earlier so he felt it necessary that him be the one to suffer. 

A lady walks up to their booth and asks them if they want anything to drink. Niall speaks up first, "I would just like a beer please." The lady shakes her head and looks at the rest of us. "Same for me, but I would also like a couple shots of whatever your best liquor is, Harry you?" Louis says and points towards Harry. "Just a beer." The lady looks at Haley and just waits. "Oh no, no thank you, I don't drink, I'll just take a water." The lady walks away. 

"You don't drink, why not you're of age." Niall asks her. "I don't know I've just never really liked it, my Dad has let me try a little before parties sometimes, but I just didn't enjoy it very much." And plus my dad would kill me if he found out I drank outside of the house where I was unprotected by him. She thought to herself . "Fair enough." Niall relaxes back into his chair but then soon sees the lady coming back with their drinks so he perks back up, he loves nothing more then a nice cold beer. She sets all of the drinks down and leaves.

Everyone starts having their own little conversations but Haley just sits there and listens. Harry and Niall are talking about their upcoming tour and Louis is just quietly agreeing with everything they say. He doesn't want Haley here and is worried for her safety, but he doesn't want to cause a seen. He knows Haley is tired of people always constantly worrying about her, so he tries to let it go. 

As Haley is sitting there sipping her water she manages to catch parts of the conversation from the second booth. "I'll be amazed if she makes it out of here without panicking at least two times, it's a good thing she doesn't drink, she wouldn't be able to handle herself, she would be 100 times worse and we would have to take care of her like a child." Haley hears Debbie tell Liam, who doesn't look interested at all. Debbie notices Haley listening in on them so she makes sure to say the last few words a little louder and with more attitude. "She can't take care of herself."  Haley looks away from them feeling angry and annoyed. She looks up and locks eyes with Louis. He has a stern expression on his face, meaning her heard the conversation also. She moves her eyes from his and looks down at the three shots of liquor in front of Louis. Louis eyes her and shakes his head. "Haley, don't, I know you're upset, and you have every right to be, but don't, it isn't a good idea, you don't know how your body will react." Louis says to her with a stern voice. Everyone's attention is on them now especially Debbie and Tess, sitting there waiting to see if she'll actually go through with it. 

In the blink of an eye Haley rushes forward and pulls all three shots towards her and downs them one after the other, grimacing at the burn on her throat as the liquid passes through her. She drinks her water to get the nasty taste out of her mouth. Niall and Harry and Liam all start clapping. Her cousins look annoyed because she stole the spotlight from them and Louis looks pissed.  "Are you sure you've never drank before, because you downed those like a champ." Niall says complimenting her abilities.  Harry pats her back as she starts to cough a little, already feeling light head. Louis gets up from the booth and pushes past Niall to get out, he needs some air. As Louis is getting up to leave a very drunk Tess gets up from the other table and tries to grab onto Louis to get his attention, that girl will fuck anything that walks, as long as it has at least a half a million to it's name. To her surprise though Louis brushes her off of him and continues his way to the nearest exit. Tess loses her balance and falls over right as a server is passing by her, knocking the server over along with everything in their hands spilling all over Tess creating a loud and messy scene. Everyone bursts into laughter especially Harry and Haley. They're almost in tears. 

Haley's Happy mood is soon changed when Debbie gets up from the table and grabs her sister. She walks over to their booth and threatens Haley. " We're leaving, I can't stand to be around you anymore and my sister has embarrassed herself, but believe me Haley, your dad will hear about this, can't wait to see how he reacts when he finds out that his precious baby girl is getting drunk at some pub, should be fun." Debbie yells and then drags Tess out of the exit into the cold night. 

Haley stands up from the booth and pushes past Harry heading straight for the bar. Harry realizes what she's doing and follows after her while Niall moves to go sit with Liam. "Hey do you really think that's a good idea, don't listen to them, I'm sure they won't even actually tell him, those were just empty threats, you shouldn't drink that much if it really it is your first time love, come on  sit back down." Harry says placing his hand on the small of her back trying to guide her back to the booth but she pushes his hand away and sits at one of the stools at the bar. Harry gives in and sits beside her. " Hi, can I get 5 more shots of your best." Haley motions towards the bartender and then turns in her stool to face Harry. "They will tell him Harry, that's what they do, they're manipulative, backstabbing, two faced bitches that hate me for some reason so they do whatever they can to make my life terrible, so, if I'm gonna get in trouble for being drunk, then I might as well get drunk." Harry looks at her for a second, almost like he's studying her features. After a minute he turns forwards and motions to the bartender. "I'll have the same as her."  Haley looks to Harry with a confused expression on her face just as her shots are getting placed in front of her. "What are you doing?" She asks him. He smirks at her and downs one of his shots. " Now what kind of gentleman would I be if I let such a gorgeous woman, like yourself, drink alone, you don't get to have all the fun babe." Harry says and winks at her before down his second shot. Haley laughs at him and blushes a little from his choice of words. She can't tell if her face is hot because of alcohol in her system or because of Harry.  

About an hour later they've both finished all of their shots and are both completely drunk. They're still sitting at the bar and laughing together about anything and everything that they can think to talk about. Haley hasn't had this much fun in a long time. "What the hell Haley!" A male voice with a thick British ascent interrupts their laughter. They both turn around to see an angry Louis looking at Haley like she's lost her mind, but neither of them care, they're to far gone, Haley slightly more then Harry. "I leave you alone for one hour so that I can try and calm down but when I come back you're drunk off your ass, I'm disappointed in you kid, you let all your morals fly out of the window just because of some dumb ass shit that your stuck up cousins said. When are you gonna realize that you're better then them, you don't need to do things like this and put yourself in danger just to try and prove them wrong, it's stupid and childish, I can't keep looking after you like this Haley, I love you, but grow up." Louis was so angry that he couldn't control the words coming out of his mouth, he felt terrible as soon as the words left his mouth and his anger softened. 

"Haley I'm so-" He tried to apologize but Haley cut him off. "No, just stop Louis, if I'm such a hassle to take care of and you're tired of it, then stop, I never asked anyone to take care of me I can handle myself, how many times do I have to tell you that, I'm not in danger I'm with Harry, you should trust him he's one of your closest friends, just leave, right now, before you say anything else that you'll regret." Louis just looks back and forth between her and Harry for a second and then decides to leave before things get worse. "I'll call you tomorrow." He says as he walks out of the pub. 

Harry feels a little awkward and doesn't know what  to do. "Do you want me to take you home, I can call a cab for you." Haley shakes her head yes and sets her hand on Harry's chest for support as she stands up. "What about you, you're just as drunk as I am so you can't drive home and I won't let you walk either it's to dangerous, take the cab with me back to my place, you can sleep on my floor, Louis used to do it all the time, my dad won't even know as long as you leave through the window in the morning." Harry is a little surprised by her offer but he accepts, how could he say no to her? "Well well well, didn't know you were a hit and leave kind of girl, can i at least get your number." Harry says cracking a joke to lighten the mood. "Ask me again in the morning." She says back to him. He can't help but smile at her as they get into the cab and drive to her house.
