The chronicles of Heart Break

Out of all the stallions, why Caramel? I lay on my couch trying to sort through my thoughts.

This question has been on my mind for the past 4 hours. What was so special about him? Maybe he liked being on bottom? Because I sure as hell didn't. Mac weighs a ton!

"Sitting here moping won't get me happy, time to go drinking..."

Sighing I Leave my small apartment and head over to Aeons place. I live in a small apartment not too far from the Golden Oaks library. It was a bit of a walk seeing

Me and Aeon go way back. We met in second grade thanks to some really tasty pizza....

13 YEARS PREVIOUSLY

Miss Cherilee sat there looking at the class: AppleJack was snoozing with her face plastered to her book, Roseluck was making derp eyes at Ditzy who for some strange reason was living in Ponyville for the time being. In general our attention spans combined to equal about 30 seconds, so this was nothing new.

"Who wants recess?" Everypony imediatly shot up at attention. "Okay now that you all are paying attention, you can do the rest of the lesson before you go." We groan and she simply smiles.

I sigh and slam my head on my desk trying to drown out the dull subject that was math. Nope, nope, nope, nope. THIS IS SO BORING!

"Essence, what in the name of the solar princess are you doing?"

"Trying not to fall asleep, duh!" My voice came out muffled.

"Well I am sorry for boring you Mister Essence."

"It's fine Miss Cherilee. Wait, what!? Miss Cherilee!?" I hurridly sit up, my face beet red. The class laughed as I sat there growing more and more embarrassed. I couldn't help but slide down in my seat mortified.

"That's enough class. You are all dismissed for lunch and recess. Except for you Heart, we need to talk"

There was a flurry of hooves and in less than 10 seconds the room was empty. We sat there in silence looking at each other, well it was silent except for a squeaking spinney chair.

How did they get a chair that spins in here without her noticing?

"What's wrong Essence? You never act like this." Her voice was warm and comforting- it made me sick.

"If it's okay with you Miss Cherilee, I don't wanna talk about it."

With that I got up and walked to the playground. I sat under a tree basking in the shade while I looked at my lunch: a big slice of yellow pepper and cheese pizza. I hadn't really been hungry for the past few days and Mother knew that so she packed my favorite foods trying to get me to eat. Needless to say she failed. Not that she was a bad cook, it's just that you can't force a stubborn kid to eat, but she tried, man she tried.

"I don't want this...."

"I'll take it off your hooves then." The voice came from a smoky grey unicorn with a short silvery mane and dark brown eyes.

I narrow my eyes a bit and decide to be mean. I lick the edge of my hoof and drive it into the middle of the pizza.

"Still want it now?"

He looks at me for a moment before replying. "Yep."

Sighing I just flip it onto the ground. "What about now?"

He looked at me with the most disappointed face and said the funniest thing ever: "Hey, I wanted that!"

I remember looking at him before laughing myself into tears, he laughed too after a while and he introduced himself.

"Hey, you're pretty cool. My name is Luminous Aeon, but call me Aeon."

From that one slice of fallen pizza pie sprouted a long and glorious friendship.

"So, Mac dumped you and you want me to leave my comfortable home, and my game of Griffon Tag 2 just to go and get drunk?" Aeons' face was quite blank as he looked at me.

"Um.... Yeah that pretty much sums it up. So you going or what?" I put on a cheesy grin and stare at him.

"Meh, okay. But first promise me you will never use that shit eating grin near me ever again."

"Done."

The bar we normally go to, it was shitty. Simple as that, the only reason we went there is because it had the best Applejack Daniels in Equestria. I mean everywhere else had shitty drinks, but I may be biased. Walking in we took our normal seats near the back and watched the strippers swing around onstage. Though there was music playing, it was oddly quiet in my head. Nursing my drink I looked up and was mildly surprised to see Tombstone, Neon Lights and Vinyl Scratch on the stage playing their songs.

"Hey Aeon, did you know they were going to be here?"

"Really? Did you really just freaking ask me that?" His voice was flat. "You brought me here dumbass."

I laugh and take a hearty swig of my drink. "Whatever man, I just came here to get wasted. So as my friend Doctor Whooves likes to say: ALLONS-Y!" I knock back the rest of my drink and head to the dance floor leaving Aeon at the table shaking his head and laughing.

"You are gonna regret this Essence!" He called to me. "We both know you can't handle your salt and liquor!"

"Screw you, ya dick," I call back. I am already feeling the buzz of the whisky and ignore it. I walk to a blue mare with white and blue hair and attempt to talk to her. "Excuse me, but how much does a penguin weigh?"

She laughs and shakes her head. "I have no clue."

"Enough to break the ice, my name is Essence and I was wondering if I could buy you a drink?"

She purses her lips for a moment thinking and nods. "Sure why not?"

"And then I say to him, because her toothbrush was bigger!" I say howling with laughter along with Colgate. I wipe the tears away with a hoof and pound on the bar table. "Bartender! Two more!" The stallion nods and slides two more Brain blowers our way. I had no idea why they were named that and little did I know, I was about to find out. I down my drink in one and wink at her. "Feel like taking this party to my place?"

Colgate smiles at me and bats her eyes sensually. "I don't see why not..." She leans forward and kisses me gently. "Lets go stud," she whispered into my ear.

I throw a few bits onto the counter and walk out the door and stumble drunkenly to my home with her in tow. We plow through the door, it bangs against the wall

"Ugh, what?" I sit up on the bed and look around groggily. "Where am I? And where are my clothes?" I look around for my vest and glasses. I manage to glance at the clock and see the time; 4 am. Shit. I have no idea where I am but at least I know the time. I look to my left and see a blue and white mane. "Huh, she really came withe me...Sweet," I mutter and lay back down with the intent to sleep.

"Ugh, what happened? My hea-ULP!" Colgate jumps out of the bed and stumbles into the bathroom where I hear her empty the contents of her stomach noisily.

Okay, thats frggin lovely. "You all right love?"

"Yeah," she gasps. "Just gimmie a minuete." She dry heaves a few more times before flushing the toilet and rinsing her mouth out. Stumbling back into the room she flops on the bed ungracefully and exhales. "Never again."

I grin and nod slowly. "I concur, now either my trechea got shorter or I'm about to hurl!" I sit up and try to get off the bed, only to get tangled up in the sheets and wind up a clailing mass of limbs and cloth. Thankfully Colegate helped me out before I blew chunks everywhere. Skipping all the horrid details of the consistancy, color and texture of the vomit currently flying out of my body lets go forward about ten minuetes.

"Damnit. I quit, I'm never drinking again." Who am I kidding? I'll be smashed again in two days. Colgate smiles and puts the covers over us and closes her eyes, I on the other hand felt wide awake. Aaaaand here we go. The same routine every time; get dumped, bitch/moan, get drunk, meet up with some random mare, bang and then repeate. Goddesses I need to change my life. Sighing unhapply I roll over and close my eyes; my body exhausted but my mind wide awake and constantly shifting. I knew I was going to be even worse off when I woke up, but I didn't care.
