At around ten in the morning, James woke up from the noise from his alarm clock.

After another drinking session with his friends last night, he finds himself in the solitude of his desolated room. Soiled clothes were lying, as well as books and magazines were displaced everywhere. His room was totally messed up.

Just like his life - pretty messed up.

This has been his life since Kate told him the news. When they broke-up a year ago, James didn't felt a thing, not even a slightest remorse.

Not until Kate told him.

She was getting married to her fiancé.

The past few months became the gradual destruction to James' life. Drinking sessions with friends have became a nocturnal routine, as well as absence in work to nurse a nasty hangover.

Unshaved and somehow disoriented, he stares hopelessly at himself in the bathroom mirror, somewhat trying to ask himself where he'd been.

All he got was a state of a complete stranger.

For a few moments, James continue to stand infront of the bathroom mirror, then he noticed something. His reflection was holding a piece of paper.

He was holding a crumpled paper and he opened it.
