The Garden Of Larry

Goodbye, Harry..... (P.1)

(Harry)

I can't believe that I really lost Louis. Not only Louis, but Anthony too? I'm sitting on my sofa and flipping through the stupid channels on the telly. Why isn't there anything on? I wish that I had to work today because then I would have atleast one thing to do today besides die of boredom. I've started drawing again and I think I'm getting back to my old self. Most of the drawings are of Louis though which isn't really proving that I'm moving on. I am moving on though. I know I am, because I'm dating.

************

I've just started drinking. For some odd reason I've been drinking a lot since Lou and I separated. It's become quite a problem actually but I don't care enough to fix it. Plus, I don't have anyone who cares about me much anyways, so who would I be really changing for? Myself? Ha! I don't even care about myself anymore anyways. I might as well get pissed and forget about everything for now.

One bottle down

I am feeling slightly better now.

Two bottles down

I'm feeling a little buzzed.

Three bottles down

I'm feeling a bit lightheaded now.

Four bottles down

Maybe I should decorate my condo?

Five bottles down

Who keeps invited all these squirrels to my condo?

Six bottles down

I think I better call Louis.

Seven bottles down

Maybe I should call Louis?

Eight bottles down

Why doesn't Louis love me?

Nine bottles down

I think I should call Olivia?

Ten bottles down

Maybe I should call Olivia?

Sip of eleventh bottle

Passes out after puking everywhere.

************

I awoke to a very loud noise which causes lots of pain to my head. There is vomit everywhere which almost causes me to vomit all over again. I realize where the noise is coming from and I pick up my mobile; answering before checking the caller ID. It's Louis. I cough to clear my throat and almost puke from the mild taste of vomit in my mouth.

"Hello?" The words barely leave my mouth.

"Harry, I'm calling you from the airport. Anthony and I are leaving for America. I was offered a job and I took it. I should have told you sooner, but I didn't know how to exactly. Stupid excuse, I know. Please forgive me for leaving. If you want to say goodbye to Anthony before we go then I advise you to hurry before we board our plane. Goodbye, Harry." Then he hung up. That's when my legs forgot how to work.

I quickly jump in the shower and clean myself up. I get dressed into some fresh clothes and zip outside and into my car almost forgetting to lock my condo door and unlock my car door. I practically speed the whole way to the airport. I almost exit my car without parking and turning off the engine. As I attempt to exit my car I end up getting tangled in the d@mn seatbelt. Luckily I didn't choke to death even though I nearly did. I lock my car and run towards the entrance of the airport. Of course, I just had to trip over my stupid feet and fall flat on my face.

I quickly got back up and ran into that airport with the most adrenaline that I've ever had in my entire life. I whizzed past security and towards the front desk. I quickly asked where I could find Louis and Anthony by describing them in full detail and found myself almost there. I was almost there to say goodbye. But as soon as I was at the entrance for the plane; they were gone. I had missed my chance to say goodbye. I officially lost both Louis and Anthony.

"When are you gonna realize, Harry; I just don't love you....." Maybe when he said those words to me when he was drunk, he actually meant them?
