You Broke Me First

You broke me first
Maybe you don't like talking too much about yourself
But you shoulda told me that you were thinking about someone else

There was something especially excruciating about finding out that the entire time you were in a relationship with someone, they were thinking about someone else. Every kiss, every touch, every reassurance was given with someone else in their mind, with someone else's name on the tip of their tongue.

Dating Harry was what one would call a roller coaster ride that began at the top and crashed at rock bottom.

There was a long period of time when you held on solely because you thought that he was the best thing that had ever happened to you. And at the time, he was. He was everything that you could have ever asked for. He was everything that you had ever wanted.

If only you had been the same for him.

The last thing that any girl wants is to be called another girl's name. That's bad enough as it is, but when he said 'I love you' for the first time? That ruined you.

He noticed what he did the moment that the name left his mouth, but there was no taking it back.

You had walked out of his life a lot easier than you thought you would. You were extremely broken, sometimes you even thought you were beyond repair. But you managed to walk out that day and not come back.

You're drunk at a party or maybe it's just that your car broke down
Or your phone's been off for a couple months, so you're calling me now

In the period of time that you've been separated - approximately four months - you haven't heard from him once. At first, you wished that he would reach out and give you some sort of explanation. But then, after a month or so, you were glad that he didn't. You were better off without you in your life.

He had seemingly forgotten about you altogether, and you were glad that he did. But if he forgot about you, then why was he calling you at three in the morning?

You answer, scared that something's wrong. If he's hurt and you don't answer the phone, you'd hate yourself for it.

"Y/N." He breathes, and you can immediately tell that he's drunk. You roll your eyes. Of course he would drunk call you. Of course he wouldn't call you if something were wrong. You definitely weren't his first choice for that. You weren't his first choice in your relationship, so why would the situation be any different now that the two of you didn't interact at all?

"You're drunk, Harry. You'll regret this in the morning." You sigh, running a hand over your face. "Call a cab, go home, and go to bed." You don't wait for him to reply, hitting the end call button and lying back down.

I know you, you're like this
When shit don't go your way, you needed me to fix it

Most people probably would have at least made sure that he got home safely. But you knew him. You knew that he never went out alone. One of his friends would ensure that he got home without dying.

You also knew that the only reason that he was calling you at all was that something went wrong. He messed something up and now he was drinking it away and calling you to fix it for him. He does this every time that he ruins something. He runs to you so that you can help him fix whatever mess that he made.

You're actually surprised that he took this long to call you, drunk and obviously wanting something from you. Four months is a long time, probably a new record for him if you really think about it.
