Summary:

Silver flees the bar after Max’s party, his head pounding from a combination of vodka, cocaine, anger, and sheer panic like a thousand bees buzzing between his ears. He doesn’t return for over two weeks. At the time, it doesn’t seem like that long; one night bleeds into another and another, there is always another party to go to, always another invitation pinging his message app. Every party is a holiday bash, the cheery spirit of the season reaching full force as Christmas trees and shining multicolored light dominate his field of vision, the city frosted with crystalline white. The scenery around every corner is reminiscent of the Winter Village, of wrestling in the snow and all that followed. There’s nothing for it except to stay intoxicated enough to forget anything but the present moment.

Chap 9 of Break Up AU has arrived! This one is only 15k lmao. Happy Early Holidays Chapter, but this is not a hallmark movie, as we all know. So prepare for more pain.

So, parts of this chapter were the very first bits of the story ever written, way back in Dec 2021, isn’t that wild? I’m kind of in shock that it’s finally being posted and that there are only three chapters to go.

This chapter has my favorite scene in the entire story, wonder if yall can guess which it is?

Brain fog and general depressive bullshit still going strong but I am dragging along regardless, wee! Please tell me I’m good.
