I Can't Help It
Chapter 24.
I think the reason why so many people are unhappy is because they're waiting for a time to be perfect.
They are waiting for a day where they wake up and everything clicks, where nothing goes wrong.
That day won't ever come.
There will always be suffering, and things will always go wrong.
That isn't a reason to be upset.
You don't wait for all the suffering to be gone,
You find happiness through it.
I gave myself a reassuring smile in the mirror before straightening my dress and running downstairs to open the door.
" Hey babe."
" Hey Andy." I smiled.
" Ready for the party?" He asked. I nodded.
" Yes."
He took my hand and lead me out to the car and held the door open for me before climbing in himself.
" It's suppose to be crazy." He said pulling away from the curb.
" I bet." I murmered. He grinned as we started our way there. We were going to a back to school party. Because winter break was coming to an end. It's been a week since me and Harry said our goodbyes. I'm glad we had that closure.
Because the most painful goodbyes are the ones left unsaid. Unexplained.
We pulled up to the party house and we could already hear the music playing from outside.
" You think we're late?" He asked as he grabbed my hand and led me up to the door. I shrugged. He rang the doorbell.
" Hey! Welcome! Come on in!" The host said as he opened the door. He hugged me and Andy.
" Beer in the kitchen. Knock yourself out. "
We nodded and began dancing and grinding.
" You want a drink?" Andy asked. I nodded. He left to the kitchen to fill up our cups.
" Maria!"
I turned around to see Sandy.
" Sandy!" I yelled. I ran up and hugged her.
" I haven't seen you since.. Yesterday." She giggled. I laughed.
" Feels like forever right."
Andy came back with the drinks.
" Thanks."
" Welcome. Hey Sandy." He said.
" Hey." She smiled. I took a sip of the beer. It tasted so good. I haven't realized how long it's been since I've had some nice liquor in my system.
After a while I had been on my seventh round of beer.
" Woaah slow down there." Andy said taking a cup from my lips.
" N-Nooo." I slurred, reaching for it. I miserably missed it and gave up. I walked away back to the room with blaring music and danced.
It was around three thirty in the morning and most of the party had cleared up.
" Andy?" I asked walking around the house. Where was he? I need to go home.
" Andy!" I yelled. I turned and went back downstairs to the trashed living room.
" Do you know where Andy is?" I asked the host. He laughed.
" Andy left three hours ago."
" What?"
" Yeah."
I took a minute to let that sink in.
He left my drunk ass at a huge party all by myself? How was I suppose to get home?
" Th-Thanks." I said as I opened the door and went out into the cold air. I was drunk as hell so that helped numb the cold air whipping at my skin. I crossed my arms and stumbled down the side walk. I had no idea where I was going. I walked forever until i finally turned down a dark alley and sat down against a wall. I leaned my head back and rested my head ache. What was that pounding feeling?
The next thing I knew, I was out.
I woke up to someone shaking me.
" Ma'am!" He yelled.
" W-What?" I croaked. I barley had a voice.
" Please move we have to drive the garbage truck down here."
I looked to my side to see a waiting truck.
" Oh. S-sorry." I got up and ran out to the street. I put my hand up and squinted my eyes as I tried to block the sun. I took a good look around.
" Where the fuck am I?" I asked. I took a step foward and winced at the throbbing in my head. I kept walking, until I walked into a small bakery.
" Hello how may I help you?" She asked.
" Do you know where the washroom is?" I asked. She nodded and pointed to the far corner of the store.
" thanks."
I went in and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked terrible. My hair was a mess and my face was dirty. I ran some water and began to wash my face before fixing my hair and dress. I sighed, feeling and looking much better. I walked out and left the bakery and started walking down the street. I still don't have a clue where I am. I walked past a man.
" Excuse me?" I asked.
" Yes?"
" do you know how I can get back to Crawford?"
" Crawford?" He laughed. I nodded.
" Bout an hour walk that way." He pointed. I nodded.
" Thanks."
I began the way he pointed until everything came flooding back to me. I walked for what felt like forever last night until I just settled in the alley. That's right, Andy left me at the party.
Harry wouldn't have done that.
dammit. Why was I still thinking about him?
Im scared because he means more to me than any other person. He is all I think about. Everything I want, everything I need.
And I know he would have never left me at that party like that. I sighed, knowing that I've already lost him, and he's never going to be the same person if I ever get him back. But I'm with Andy now. And things should start looking up soon.
