Axel went straight back to drinking, knowing that Harlan already left. And really, he didn't know why this was any of his business since he didn't ask to be anyone's advice giver. What did he know about people? He'd never been in a stable relationship in his entire life. Somewhere in the middle of it all, he noticed new text messages, but even after reading them, he couldn't quite cool the insanity that was building up inside of himself. He thought he responded too, something along the lines of 'Go away,' but by this point, he wasn't even sure anymore. By the time the night ended, he was more of a mess than usual, spurred on by his own shitty emotions. At least he didn't need to be at the recording studio until noon. Lionus, yeah, he'd just force the band's drummer to come get him and everything would be okay. In the end, he passed out in his bathroom, somewhere near the morning hours.
