  Shallow had blacked out from heavily drinking, but finally woke up from a throbbing headache. Before he knew it Shallow was kneeling over his toilet, vomiting . He thought in a few hours it'll be gone, but it's been almost eight hours and regrettably the pain has barely gone away. Shallow checked his phone, no texts, no notifications, well basically nothing. He threw is phone at the wall pretending it could get better by that. Tears filled his eyes with the feeling of him being dejected that his one and only didn't even know him after all these years they had spent together. 

  By the time his aching head was gone he had to get ready for work, the circles under his eyes were no lie, the stank in his breath affected everyone around him. Shallow didn't feel like the same guy after what Lance has said, maybe he was lying, he only thought that to make himself feel contented. That barely worked. Shallow wanted to talk to Midnight so bad, but didn't want to scare her. He didn't care, Shallow was gonna talk to her and Lance couldn't stand in his way any longer. 

  When the time had come to go home it felt like in that ten hours of work he had accomplished nothing. Though, despite Lance, Shallow didn't want to feel this way at all. He had finally gotten the courage to see Midnight again. But before he did anything he needed to look his best. He took a shower, brushed his teeth and put ice on his eyelids to take away the puffiness. Shallow smiled nervously while looking in the mirror, he could only think of one more thing to do, slick back his ragged hair. Shallow cleared his throat and began thinking of what to say.  Instead of saying anything he wanted to wing it so it sounded a little less awkward, just go with the flow, he thought, and everything will be alright.
