Harry tried his best to avoid the bottle
He very rarely used alcohol to cope, he used to cope through methods much worse than drinking but he didn't wanna start down that decline again
Normally he would sleep, it can't hurt if he's not awake, but it didn't work out well last time in fact he felt much worse than how he had felt before trying to sleep it off (Alexis came though and that slump was quickly plateaued)
However the bottle won this time
He was drunk off his ass he was down a bottle of jack and working on a bottle of whisky
He was watching the videos again
Harry's father would record when he used to beat Harry and every year on Harry's birthday his father made him watch the 'best' one Harry had 15 videos total the shortest was only 20 minutes the longest was nearly 2 hours
Harry was sat on his sofa watching one
He was in a hole again
It didn't happen often, he hated taking pity on himself
But he felt the ache in his bones he felt the heavy weight of pain as if this beating had just happened
Harry flinched as he heard his flesh being burned he put a hand over the cage tattoo on his ribs where the scars were of those cigarette burns
He downed the rest of his glass listening to his father berating him comparing him to his new wife's kids ,Harry's step siblings, telling him how much more he loved them and how much better children they were than him
Harry's phone buzzed he checked it
Someone was at his gate he quickly shot up out of his chair his dizziness making him freeze for a second before he grabbed the remote and closed out the video
He walked to the front door unlocking all 3 of the locks opening it just as Alexis pulled in he closed it after seeing her car
She had gone out to a party and he didn't expect her to be back until tomorrow, at least that's what she told him
The door opened while he was still standing there Alexis jumped laughing "shit you scared me" she giggled "I saw you open the door so I figured you unlocked it for me"
"W-what are you doing home?" He asked his slurring made it apparent he was drunk
"Oh uh party did not end well the hostess walked in on her brother fucking her best friend over the sink in the bathroom... we all went home"
"Christ" he mumbled
"Yeah" she nodded "what are you doing up? Having a party on your own?" It was 11pm all the lights were off no one else was here yet he was drunk he didn't answer she rubbed a hand on the wall closest to them and turned on a light
He was in his boxers and a pair of baggy joggers
She was in a mini dress that was light blue with small yellow and pink roses on it, the bust was ruched making her already sizable chest look even bigger, and it fit to the skin "you okay?" She frowned
He blinked drinking her all in he realized she was here yet again to stop him wallowing in his own past
"You're an angel" he cooed
She cocked an eyebrow "mm I dunno about that" she noticed how unsteady he was now that the light was on "how much have you had to drink?"
"Not a lot"
