So I guess saying that you guys liked this one would be a bit of an understatement huh. Well this one might continue to be a little angsty for awhile. After years of having your heart broken people do not trust others and are definitely not willing to open themselves up to such vulnerability. I know it's hard to imagine Harm getting drunk, but think about yourselves in his position. He walked into the apartment of the woman he loves to find it disheveled as if she and Clay had been going at it in every room of the apartment. That could drive anyone to drink, not to mention he's been in love with her for the last 8 years. Enough analysis though. This next part also contains a song that might be a little more familiar to you all. So here we go...


Harm sat at the bar and ordered another drink from the bartender. The bartender looked unsure at Harm, and reluctantly handed him a pint of Hefinweissen. Harm took it, looked towards the end of the bar and winked at the sexy blonde staring at him. She was well built and well endowed to say the least. Just as Harm was about to get up and approach the babe and ask if he could buy her another drink, someone got on stage and started singing a song that he vaguely remembered hearing on the radio before.

So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

Yeah it was something you did Mac, sleeping with Clay and in every room geez. And it was something I didn't say I should have told you a long time ago, I shouldn't blame you entirely but DAMN! It hurts!

Harm remained on his barstool listening to the remainder of the song, his pint was still full and through the alcohol daze he just thought about her, not the blonde woman but her the love of his life that had once again broken his heart.

You are everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

If I was everything she wanted and we were meant to be then how come we lost it, we didn't just lose it we never even got a chance. Ah, we do have lots of good memories together though, all the times I ever had a chance to hold you in my arms, and I just pretended like it meant nothing to me. Sturgis has called me and told me that you're very difficult to work with (laughing to himself). Then he remembered...didn't Sturgis call me awhile ago, he said something about Mac didn't he or am I just wishing he was. He was going to reach for his phone when he decided that he must have imagined it, considering how many beers he had drunk already. So the song played on...

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

It's nice to know you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

Well that's one thing that I can thank you for Mac, for letting me know that whatever it was that we had or didn't for that matter is done and gone. Man, I wonder what she'd say if she saw me drunk like this, ha she'd probably give me some lecture on drinking and the consequences of your actions! That's it I'm done, if she can move on than so can I.

Harm got up from his barstool, gained his balanced, grabbed his pint and chugged down half of it, and sauntered over to the blonde. He was halfway there when his cellphone rang again. He paused trying to decide whether or not he should answer it or not, he glanced at the name "Subman". Sorry, buddy this girl is just begging for a drink and a kiss from yours truly. He walked over to her and introduced himself.

"Hi there. I'm Commander Rabb USN. And who might you be?"

"Mackenzie Miller, but most of my friends either call me M&M or Mac."

"Uhhh....Mac..." Harm choked out spewing some recently drunk beer from his mouth across the bar countertop.

Why is it that I can't even pick up a seemingly attractive woman at a bar without Mac some how sabatoging it!

Just then another man walked up to the blonde and wrapped his arm possesively around her waist and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Harm looked down at the woman's hand and saw a ring sitting there. He embarressed and manly pride hurt walked back to his stool to finish off his beer. His cellphone rang again... "Subman". This time Harm answered it.

"What the hell do you want Sturgis?"

"Harm tell me where you are?"

"At a bar, what do you care?"

"Because I need to get you to the hospital." Sturgis figured it would be better to say what happened before he mentioned the name, since something obviously happened tonight that had Harm so put off at just the mention of Mac's name.

"Whose in the hospital, and why do I need to be there?" Harm challenged.

"Harm don't you care that one of your friends and co-workers is about to be wheeled into surgery!?" Sturgis yelled back.

"WHO?"

"Mac."

"I don't believe that for a second considering what I saw tonight. If she needed surgery then it was to pry Clay off of her."

He hit the mark without evening realizing it.

"Harm you don't understand. Just tell me where you are and I'll come get you, take you to the hospital and explain."

"Forget Sturgis, if she can move on so can I. Goodbye!"

With that Harm hung up again. Turner was about to call the Admiral and let him know what was going on on his end, but then decided that it wasn't worth it. They needed to stay with Mac, so he continued to search for Harm. Then it hit him he hadn't checked near Mac's place, he mentioned seeing something tonight maybe he is over in her neck of the woods...McMurphy's! That's got to be where Harm is!

Sturgis turned the car around and started heading in that direction. Unfortunately, Harm decided to call it a night and paid his tab to the bartender. He walked out of the bar, knowing he couldn't drive he decided to go for a little walk until he felt better and more alert, besides he wasn't in the mood to return to a cold empty bed again. He crossed the street and walked to the park nearby. 15 minutes later, after having broken several traffic laws Turner ended up in McMurphy's Tavern.

"There's Harm's SUV!"

He quickly parked his car and jumped out. He walked into the bar and started looking all around for Harm...Maybe he's in the Men's room. So he walked into the bathroom, but no luck he wasn't there, he wasn't anywhere. Where the hell did you go now Harm! He walked over to the bartender and asked if he had seen Harm in here tonight.

"Yeah I did. Drank and awful lot tonight. Got shot down by that blonde at the end of the bar, but he left about 15 minutes ago."

"His car is still in the parking lot."

"He must have gone for a walk to try and sober up before going home I guess, or maybe he called for a taxi. Mac lives not too far away maybe he's crashing there for the night."

"Thanks."

Sturgis walked out of the bar and looked around, trying to decide what to do next. He tried Harm's cell again but no answer. I guess I better call the Admiral now and tell him Harm is AWOL...


Okay so how was that guys, you asked for a chapter 2 so there you go...do I hear Chapter 3?
