"I have to tell you something" Eric finally said.

"Eric go ahead. I will listen to you" Alissa promised.

"It is not working out between us. You understand it right? I am going to get married. So please understand" He declared.

And everything freezed for a moment. Alissa looked at him dead in the eyes. He slowly put his hand on the table and forwarded it towards Alissa. Alissa looked down and saw the wedding card. Alissa was just trying to insert all this in her head. She scratched her hand believing it is a nightmare. How badly she wanted to come out of it.

She ran and ran and ran until she was standing in front of the club. The same club due to which she became an alcoholic. Due to which she used to pass out and spend nights out. She went there and opened the door. Smell of alcohol filled her nose. She went there and asked for the strongest drink. She took that glass and drank it all at once. Then another and another. She was finally feeling clumsy. Soon a group of boys reached towards her. They had a pack of cigarettes. They offered her one and she accepted it.
