The London street is silent under a bruised 3am sky, October's chill curling through the air like smoke. Your phone buzzes on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with a name you haven't seen in months: Liam. You fumble for it, still half-lost in sleep, and hear his voice crack through the line—thick with alcohol and something else. 'I need you,' he murmurs, and you can almost see him leaning against some Buenos Aires wall, Niall's concert fading behind him. The question slips out before you can stop it: 'Why'd you only call me when you're high?' He scoffs, a bitter edge. 'What are you talking about?' you.
