Harry's POV

"You alright Harry? You've been acting really weird ever since you got back," Niall mentions.

"Yeah. I'm tired is all," I respond.

He was right. Even just looking in the mirror I could tell some major differences. There were dark circles under my eyes and my lips were always flushed pink. I was constantly sweating and everyone was beginning to notice.

"I thought the trip was suppose to help you relax, is there something that happened with Taylor that you don't want us to know about?' Liam asks. Damn he knew me too well. All of the boys did.

"No," I lie. The drinking part was for sure in the back of my mind.

"Alright..Well if you're up to it then we'll get going to the club. It's Niall's special night after all," Zayn says and then pats Niall on the back.

"The club? I thought we were going for dinner," I mention in a defensive tone.

"No, Niall wants to get a litle drunk," Louis teases.

"Plus I thought you would like that since you love to drink and party," Niall mentions. Fuck I had to play this out.

"Oh yeah. I just thought we had other plans is all," I can feel myself become a little less tense.

"Who's all coming?" I ask after another moment.

"well the back up band as usual. Josh, Dan, John, and Sandy. Plus the five seconds of summer lads. Oh and then Paul for security along with Preston and some others. My friend Sean back from Mullingar And Cory," Niall says the last person really fast.

"Cory?' I ask. Oh boy was the alcohol calling my name now.

"Can you understand that he's our friend too..I mean I get you two have something complicated going on but he's really grown on us," Liam explains

"So you'd choose him over me?' I ask getting really defensive.

"Not at all. Of course we're going to spend most of the night together. I promise Harry. He's just part of the One Direction expirience now," Niall tells me, in a calm tone hoping that I'll become less tense.

"Fine. But if he tries to bring up anything about Taylor then I am not going to be nice. Last time he did his 'brother in law' had to stop me from murdering him," I remind them.

"Play nice and I'm sure that will not happen," Louis reassures me.

"I will," I respond. Maybe the non drinking idea was okay. Then I wouldn't have to kill him.

"Take a shot with me," Niall encourages.

"I have a headache. Sorry Niall," I apologize.

"Come on Harry it will loosen you up," He insists.

"Niall I.." I begin but then I see Cory across the bar. He is talking to some girl. Glad he was moving on.

"Harry please. You haven't been yourself and maybe this will help. One shot," He tells me. Little did Niall know. 

"Fine," I reply. Glancing over my shoulder once more to see Cory and the girl move across the room. What could one shot really do? Plus it was a special occasion. Niall was getting hitched after all. 

He slids the small glass over to me and I pick it up. My hand shakes as I bring it to my lips. Time felt as if it was going slowly. I then tilt my head back and feel the burn of the drink slide down my throat. It was satisfying, but not satisfying enough. I had gone two weeks without one drink and it was literally killing me from the inside out. But the moment that I could feel my body become exhilerated just by the act of taking the shot I knew there was no turning back. I was getting trashed and no one could stop me. Not because I would refuse but because my body would not have that.

About an hour later I could barely walk on my two feet. I was stumbling around and flashes of all the other boys laughing and having a good time was going through my mind. That was all that mattered to me at the moment and good thing Taylor wasn't here to see what I got into.

"Harry, man I wanna apologize," I hear another slurred voice say. Either I was too drunk or they were drunk too. Maybe a little bit of both.

"For what?" I ask and then I see it's Cory.

"For thinking Taylor ever had a chance with me," He hiccups. Oh he was definitely waisted.

"Well you were the dumb one so I don't get why you're apologizing," I laugh.

"You're the dumber one. You can't even keep her," He replies.

"Where is she now?' I retort.

"Not here," He cackles.

"Obiviously not at Niall's thing..because she's not a groomsmen," I reply.

"Shut up," He says.

Both of us must look like idiots arguing at a bar like this. But the other boys did nothing to intervine.

"I hate you," I tell him.

"You didn't like a month ago," He says.

"That was before you got all little girl about this situation," I remark.

"Whatever man," He says and begins to walk away. 

Then out of no where I begin to hit him. He gets a few cheap blows at me but then it goes fuzzy from there. I remember us fighting and then a few of the boys trying to tear us apart. Maybe Liam and Josh? I don't remember much from here. 

But some how I ended up here. In the police station. All by myself in this cell. Was Cory here too? I must have fallen asleep for a few hours because now I was almost sober. Hungover but I was in my right mind. I sit up and I can immediately feel my bead pounding. That feeling was worth it up until now. In jail with a large pounding inside my head and my ears. 

"Styles," A large policeman walks in. With him is Niall, Paul, and Taylor. 

"You are out on bail. Free to go," He says sternly. I slowly get to my feet and follow behind the other three. 

"How bad?' I whisper to Niall. 

"Well you put Cory in the hospital for starters," He says. This voice was icecold. Something I wasn't used to with Niall. 

"And..?' I ask. 

"The tabloids. You are all over them," Paul practically shouts. Drawing attention from the people around us. 

I stay silent for a moment and I can see that Taylor refuses to look at me. I try to reach for her hand but she moves hers away from mine. 

"Don't," She snaps. 

We then get in the car and that's when everything blows up in my face, as if it hasn't enough. 

There you have it, votes and comments would be perfect! Thank you all so much for reading! I love you and I hope you liked it. So next chapter will be Taylor's night and then after that we can continue onto what lies ahead! I'll update as soon as I can.
