Before // A Ben Hardy fanfiction

Caitlyn's POV

"Another one" I slammed my glass down after drinking my third beer 

"Coming right up," the bartender says and takes my glass away 

The pub was not loud but not quiet either, there was hardly anyone around except for people who like to drunk in the morning 

"Hey you go, miss" the bartender hands me a drink 

"Thank you," I say and then take a big gulp of the drink 

I was trying to get my self drunk on purpose so I can try and forget all my thoughts of these last few days, even though I knew soon I would regret my choices now when I wake up with a hangover 

***

I am still at the bar and still drinking. I arrived at the place around about 10 and it's now 12:30. How am I still walking? 

"Miss I'm going to ask you to leave," a man told me 

"Why?"

"You are drinking way too much and you're putting yourself at risk" 

"Just one more and then I'll leave?" I pouted 

"We cannot serve you any more today miss, Please leave" he pointed to the door 

"Fine!" I spat at him and I left the pub

I was struggling to walk. well, of course, I'm fucking drunk and I didn't bring my phone to call anyone and what a joy it is to forget where you live. 

I have been walking for a few minutes now and I have been struggling 

"Caity?" I turn around and see Ben near his car 

"Ben!" I walked up to him and wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed his cheek 

"Caity are you drunk this early?" 

"ha, No," I said snorting 

"Caity, I can smell it! how much did you drink?" 

"I dunno just a couple...five beers," I said 

"Get in the car I'm taking you home" 

He opened the door for me and helped inside and helped me put my belt on and then he got on the other side and started driving 

"Do you have your address?" Ben asks me 

"Nope"

He sighs "Do you have Gen's Number?" 

"Didn't bring my phone" 

"Do you know it?" 

"Yeah, I think so?"

"Ok well take my phone and put her on speaker"

it took me a few tries to get her number and I finally did and I put it on speaker. Ben asked her for the addresses and explained to her what was going on.

Ben's POV

"Come on Caity, were home," I say and turned to her and noticed she is asleep 

I sigh and get out of the car and I open her door and take off her belt and pick her up bridal style and taking her to the door and ringing the doorbell 

"Ben!" Gen said and her eyes went straight to Caity

"My God, Um come in, you can put her in her room" 

I nodded and Gen showed me to her room, Gen left the room and shut the door behind her. I put Caity of the bed and she started to wake up 

"Ben?" she said still clearly drunk 

"It's me Caity"

"Ben! come lie down with me"

"No, it's ok Caity I've got to go anyway"

"Aw but Ben, I love you" 

"Caity your drunk" 

"No, I'm not silly, I love you Ben and you know that someday we are going to get married and then were are going to have a daughter named Mackenzie" 

"Mackenzie?" 

"Kenzie for short"

"Sounds wonderful, but I dont think we are getting married Caity, your going to find someone better than me and you're going to live a happy life with him and you're going to have a big family and your going to forget me,"  I say and I feel tears forming in my eyes. A sudden realization ran through my body... I still love her 

She folded her arms and pouted 

"But I

"dont want to marry anyone else" 

"But it's the truth and we are both going to except it" 

"But I want to be with you forever and ever," Caity said with a big smile on her face 

I put my hand on her cheek and slowly the temptation to kiss her soft lips again comes back to me. I slowly lean in and soon both our lips brushed together. Like the old days. I missed the taste and the feeling of her lips on mine. 

I pulled away and she had a smile on her face

"Caity I know you won't remember any of this but I love you. I will always love you no matter if you move on or not I will always love you and I can't love anyone else the same way" 

"I love you too Silly" she playfully nudged me and I smiled 

"Goodbye Caity" 

"Bye Ben, I love you!" 

"I love you too Princess," I say kissing her cheek and wiping my tears away as i get up from her bed.
