Chapter 2

I don’t know how long I’d been asleep for. It couldn’t have been that long as darkness still engulfed my room. The aching in my chest still clung to me like a bad smell and I tried so desperately to block it out. But it only lasted a few seconds before the guilt came crashing back to the front. How could I try and forget what I’d done? By forgetting that it meant I was forgetting Lucas and I couldn’t do that. It wouldn’t be fair.


Letting out a deep sigh, I threw off my blankets and sat up so my legs were dangling off the edge of my bed. My eyes soon adjusted to the darkness and that’s when I saw the bandage on my ankle. My mom must have come in a wrapped it when I was asleep. Shaking my head slowly, I got up and quickly got changed into my sweatpants.


It took me a while to make it out of my house without waking my parents. You know because of my stupid ankle, those stairs all of a sudden became a big obstacle.


I wasn’t exactly sure where I was going. All I knew was I needed to escape my house. I needed to be free and alone. But as my feet started taking me down to the docks that mine and Lucas’s house shared (we were next door neighbors), I could hear the soft strum of a guitar.


If I was thinking straight I would have turned and limped away. But instead I carried on towards the docks to see none other than Harry sitting on a chair playing guitar, with bottles of booze around him. Well what’s to bet he’s drunk?


“You shouldn’t sneak up on people.” His raspy voice said, but he didn’t turn to look at me.


“Technically I wasn’t sneaking up on you. My footsteps were pretty loud.” I retorted.


Letting out a sigh I made my way over to the spare chair. Tucking my good ankle under me, I looked over at Harry. He seemed lost in thought and I wondered if maybe I should leave him be. But I knew if there was anyone who felt even a little bit of what I felt, it’d be him. He did after all grow up with me and Lucas.


“I’m sorry about before.” I whispered as my blue orbs looked out towards the harbor.


“Yeah what was that all about?” He asked with his eyebrow raised out of curiosity.


A sigh escaped my lips as I looked back at him. God he was beautiful. Those green eyes and curly hair. Not to mention his muscles. I’ve always been a sucker for muscles and no doubt he has perfect abs.


Wait what? I didn’t not just think that! God how could I think that. He was Lucas’s best friend and I was betraying Lucas by thinking that.


Shaking my head, I noticed that Harry was still looking at me. He was expecting me to answer him and I knew I couldn’t tell him why I had acted the way I did. If I told him I’d only start crying and that was not going to happen.


“It doesn’t matter. Got any alcohol you can lend me?” I asked casually.


“I have alcohol but you aren’t having any.”


I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes at him. Why wasn’t he sharing his alcohol with me? It’s not like he had hardly any money. He could easily buy more alcohol later on.


“And why the fuck not?” I snapped, obviously I had a short fuse these days.


“Because you aren’t a drinker and I don’t want to help you start.” He replied calmly, his green eyes staying on me.


“Harry I’m not going to become an alcoholic just by getting drunk for one night.” I told him, hoping it would change his mind.


But some part of me must have known it wouldn’t have worked because I wasn’t really surprised when he stared at me blankly. Guess he hasn’t really changed that much after all.


“Please can you stop trying to protect me and just be a friend. I mean if you don’t give me any alcohol I will go find it from other source. Now wouldn’t you want me to get drunk around you so you know I’m safe?” I raised an eyebrow at the end of my question. I knew this would make him cave.


Silence took over as Harry debated whether or not to let me drink. I knew he would though. I don’t know how I knew I just did and it didn’t take long for him to sigh and hand me a half full vodka bottle. A small smile tugged at my lips as I took the bottle from him and took a sip from it.


“You know you won’t be getting this back right?” I asked, smirking slightly.


“Yeah I kinda figured that.” He shrugged and finally looked down at his guitar.


“Play something for me.” I requested, before I took another sip of the vodka.


“What do you want me to play?” He asked, not looking up from the guitar.


“Surprise me.”
