One more drink...
Where did it go wrong? Am I to blame? Did I not try hard enough? Dammit Spike! You hesitated, and lost what you most sought. I mentally scold myself. Rarity... Another tear rolls down my cheek, adding to the pool underneath. "Today had started out so normally..." I drunkenly mumble into my empty glass.
Yes! Rarity gets back today from her business trip! I can't wait to see her! I thought as I first awakened. "Twi! Let's go, Rarity's train is going to be here any minute!" I enthusiastically yelled, grabbing for my jacket.
"Ugh, not now Spike! I've been up all night researching for my 'multiple universe' theory! Just go on without me, I'm sure Rarity will understand." Twilight yelled back in annoyance.
What ever...Rarity, here I come! Today is the day...The day I have the balls to confess! I sprinted to the station, not even stopping to pick up breakfast. Rarity is too important to me...Must...Get...to...station.
I silently thanked Rainbow for training with me; my endurance proving no match for the distance between the library and train station. "Terminal 3, Mareford to Ponyville is now arriving!" the pony on the intercom chimes just as I reach the station.
I hastily made it to Terminal 3, and sat excitedly for Rarity. After what seemed like ages, I saw her; her pure white coat, and beautifully crafted mane catching my attention. "Rarity! Over here!" I hollered as I slowly made my way to her. I hold out my arms to hug her, and to my luck, she hugged back. "Ahh! It's awesome to see you again!"
"Thank you, Spikey Wikey! It wouldn't be too much to ask for you to grab my bags, would it?" Rarity asked, looking at me with puppy dog eyes.
"Not at all, milady!" I exclaimed, giving a bow before I pick up her four suit cases.
The next few minutes I spent in complete silence; I let Rarity control the topic of discussion. I was about to speak up, when she moved onto 'stallions'. "...Oh, and I met this amazing stallion! He was just the kindest gentlecolt I could ask for! Everywhere we went, he held bags, never complained, and treated me like royalty! When he asked me to be his, I just couldn't say no!"
CRACK
That was it. I stopped, frozen in my tracks, and I felt something inside my chest snap. It hurt. A lot. I felt something break; something had been torn up, thrown down, and stomped on. Then I realized that something was my heart. I dropped what was in my right hand, and moved it up to my chest. ... Nothing. Nothing beat inside my body, just an aching pain that reared it's head in. It was another minute before Rarity looked back and saw I was about a hundred feet behind her.
She nonchalantly walked back to me, "Is something wrong dear?" she asked with genuine curiosity. Every word stung; what hurt the most was she truly had no idea what was wrong.
"N-nothing...don't worry about it. E-excuse m-me, Rarity." I dropped the other suitcases, and ran off. I tried to take a walk to calm myself, but everything reminded me of her. No matter where I went, whether it be the long walk to Sweet Apple Acres, or just across town. Eventually I turned to something I knew would help me forget...
"*Hic* 'Nother drrrrink." I slam my shot glass down.
"Kid, you're running up a big bill, you sure you want another?" the bartender asks in a gruff tone.
"Do*hic* Do I look like I'm kidding?" I glare at the stallion, and he quickly shuts up and pours more Jack into my glass. "L-Leave the bottle."
He does as he is told, takes the cap from the bottle, and walks away to service other patrons. "Rarity... I loved you." Another tear runs down my cheek.
Get over here bottle! I clumsily reach for the bottle, which is only half full. I scrunch my nose at the smell, but tip the bottle up anyway. "Y-you, misster J-Jack are m-my on-*hic* only friend."
Slowly, my vision starts to fade; and soon all I can see is blackness.
Two hours later...
I wake to find my head resting on the bar, and bottle of Jack completely drained. "I-I will never love again..."
I rise my head, and two shot glasses appear to my right, "One to remember," I quickly down the first, "and another to forget." I say as I finish the last one. I pull out a pouch filled with over a hundred bits in, "This'll cover it."
I sway a bit as I get up from my seat, and even more as I try to walk out. About ten feet from my seat, I collapse; unable to walk in a straight line. Getting up, I pat myself off and continue out. The brisk Autumn wind greets me as soon as I step out of the bar; and easily push me over into the mud. When did it rain? I-I don't remember it raining... Getting up this time is a bit trickier, but eventually I manage; I have to blink my eyes rapidly to accustom the lack of light. Slowly, I start back for the library; my head spinning, and my speech slurring.
I make it around the corner, and collapse once more; this time in front of the one building I never want to see again...Carousel Boutique...Rarity... I start crying again, this time a heavy weep. I try again to get up, but utterly fail; my arms collapsing under my weight. With no other option, I start crawling home; drunk, depressed, and disheveled. "Take my eyes, take my heart; for I need the no more!" I drunkenly yell.
In the distance I hear somepony else yell, "It's 2 A.M.! Someponies are trying to sleep, asshole!"
I quietly oblige, and again start crawling home; mud staining my entire front. Silently, I mumble, "I don't care, my grace is gone..." Slowly, darkness begins to envelope me again; and before I know it, I've passed out once again.
Inspired by the song. Enjoy. Not meant to be long, just a little one shot I had a sudden inspiration to write.

replace the drink with weed, and this is me two years ago.
3030076 I like weed a lot...I tend to write under the influence a lot.
3030093 me too, weed is the shit.
3030139 Most def. Can't wait to get money this week...Let's just say 45 dollars is going to a good cause.
3030150 a very good cause, u gotta get me some money too. my weed man got some base and I need to get some.
3030249 Sounds like a plan
Are you in the UK? The legal drinking age is 21.
3030536 I wish. I'm in the U.S. My personal view is that the drinking age should be lower.
Are you going to continue with this? This story has a lot of potential, maybe introduce a new shipping. But please let it be a female.
3030670 Not really sure. If it gets enough people behind it (favorites/likes) I'll continue on with it. Initially, I intended it as a one shot; just got a sudden urge to write it. Also I'd probably change the tag to anthro.
3030732 Than I hope it becomes successful and if you ever need help on this story let me know.
3030918 Much appreciated. I'll give it a week to hit 20 favorites, if it doesn't, then I'll let you take the reigns on this one (You'll get complete control over it, and the story will go to your page).
3030922 Thanks though this story will be slow going since I already have my own story.
3031121 It'd be even slower under me. I have 4 stories started, 1 on hiatus, and 2 that I need to do; I have a huge workload. Let's see how it stands after a week, already up to 13 favorites.
3031121 So it just hit the magic number today, and it will continue under me. IF you're up to it, I still need an editor/cowriter/outside voice for it, so (if it's cool with you) I'll consult you from time to time about it.
3067645 No problem. I always have ideas popping up.
Maybe we can bounce ideas off of each other to help our stories.
3067645 I just thought of something, got any idea who to ship Spike with?
3067707 Not at all. I have some "inspiration" (pot) that will give me an idea or two later. Just can't forget about this, which is why this is staying as my main browser page. I was personally thinking someone (pony) that isn't shipped a lot with Spike, but makes enough sense. Either way, we're looking at a LOT of background characters.
3067855 True and you probably want to do someone who hasn't been done yet. Give me a minute and I should have a list of ships that haven't been used yet that are female.
3067855 I got some ponies we can work with
Never been done: Bon Bon, Berry Punch, Lyra, Colgate, Rain Drop, Spitefire, Twist, Sunset Shimmer.
I got a few ideas for the shipping but I want to know before hand if we're stick to one mare or can Spike have more than one?
3068407 I can go either way, but just a little heads up; having a serious romance that includes more than one love interest can pose a very serious challenge. Both having it seem realistic, and that there's feelable emotion behind it...But, seeing how I am writing PonyxSis, I don't appose it. And Shoot, Tex.
3068441 Cloudchaser and Fitter, the spa twins, and Vinyl and Octavia are some possible mulit ships that can be done. You are familiar with Cloudchaser and Fitter so those two should be easy for you to do something with. Vinyl and Octavia are easy since you could use their and Spike's love and interest in music as a starting point. As for the spa twins we could have Spike getting a job there to get his mind off of Rarity and getting to know the two. If you want to go with a single girl for Spike the same starting points can apply for the mares I mentioned or you could go with someone else. Between the two of us we should be able to come up with a starting point that will both work and is realistic.

My suggestion would be Berry Punch. What with Spike becoming a budding alcoholic, this could also introduce a troubled past for her as well (Maybe a husband her left her and their daughter Berry Pinch). Like Spike, she turned to the drink for comfort. The two bond over drinking, but over time, it starts to mess their lives up further, to the point where they have to quit or lose the things most precious to them, leading to each having to help the other sober up and stay clean.
lets be honest some here would get shit faced to if they loved someone so much doesnt love you.
Where the hell is the next chapter
3273853 still stuck up my ass, be my guest to reach in there and pull it out.
3030568 Move to Canada, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec is 18, everywhere else is 19.

Drink for me, but I hear you on that about the year ago...
This story isn't that great of a one-shot. It ends too abruptly and has more questions than answers. Also, so much can be done for it. I suggest expanding this. It doesn't have to be too long, just a few more chapters so some more things can be explained in a little more detail.
Hope you come up with more for the story. I'll track it, but a like won't be coming anytime soon with just this chapter.
6176340 it's planned to be expanded.
6180553 oh really now?
7471814 haha yeah, I'm trying to get back into writing. Proving tougher than I thought it'd be, but this was my first one shot. I do still plan on expanding it, this is my best story in my opinion.
Aww i wanted more
8632346
There will be more! I promise. Just been adapting to adult life for the past year and a half and had to put down the pen. But I’m back, and I’m in black too.
8635844
Yay!!!!!
