The London street lies quiet under a bruised October sky, three a.m. cold seeping through the window. Your phone vibrates on the nightstand, the screen flaring with a name you haven’t seen for months: Liam. You grab it, still foggy from sleep, and his voice cracks through the line—rough with drink and a raw, unspoken weight. 'I need you,' he murmurs, and you can picture him leaning against some wall in Buenos Aires, the echoes of Niall’s show fading behind him. The words escape before you can catch them: 'Why’d you only call me when you’re high?' He scoffs, the sound bitter and guarded. 'What are you talking about?' you.
