It's Friday morning and Lucy decided to stay with her father after going with her new friend Gale on a trip. She wanted to know this man's identity but she was clumsy enough to ask his family name. 

She was happy that her father's memory came back after being lost tentatively.

Thursday 2 pm

Her phone suddenly rang and she checks it from her bag who was calling her. It's from the hospital's staff. 

She swipes the touchscreen button to answer it. 

"Yes, hello?" She said while waiting for the staff's response. She's hoping that it's a good one. 

Her heart began pounding like a drum that reaches her ears. She's hoping that his father's memory will be back to normal so that he can recall what happened that night. He can tell her what kind of car hit him and if he remembered the person who bumped into him.

    Lucy PoV By simply looking at the glass of whiskey on my table, made me forget everything about my disastrous teenage life. My first love and boyfriend dumped me on our graduation day. He went to the states to study and didn't come back even until now. My life is full of thorns and stains. "Waiter, another glass, please!" I called for the third bucket of beer and one bottle of whiskey. After ten years of waiting, my life is still the same. It's better to die drinking than living with regrets. "Here ma'am," the waiter said after serving me. My eyes were heavy and my body feels weary. I gaze tipsy and smile at him. "Thank you" I mumbled. The karaoke bar was filled with loud people. You can find anything here. Minors, adults, married people, widows, the LGBT community, and even singles who were being cursed to be alone forever, and I was one of them.

You can leave now and drop this job if you won't cooperate with me!" He behaves the same as Mr. Grey in the movie I recently in love with, Fifty Shades of Grey. He was so rude and frigid."No, sir.
