Scandal

In a dark hall a guy was lying on the floor surrounded by empty and half emptied alcohol bottles..some spilling on the floor..

The floor is cold.. Still.. He can't feel anything... He is lying down staring at the ceiling in daze.. His eyes looking dead with no emotions at all.. The tickling sound of clock can be heard...

His mobile broken and lying beside the dustbin keep showing the name cabel through the shattered glass pieces .. Still working somehow..

He didn't bothered to move an inch.. Still staring at the ceiling in daze..

" lucas.. You are scaring me.. Stop being like this.. " he said shooking him.. But no reply.. He got a call from someone and sighed in frustration as he walked away.. He sat there staring at the sky turning beautiful orange hue as the sun sets..

He walked in zig zag towards the wet bar and pulled out another bottle.. He thought it's his friend and co player cabel walking towards him but it's not.. A slender hand touched his hand and he immediately pushed it away..his face forming a deep frown he looked up at the girl in front of him with hatred..
