Jimmy got out of the shiny new car that was now parked outside his house. After riding around the city for almost an hour, he felt bored and somewhat tired. Most of the nights he watched the stars in the nightly sky before being knocked out by Mr. Sandman. Today, he only felt melancholy imaginating in what state he would find the house tonight. He looked at his watch: 11:30. He didn´t mind. He knew that his parents wouldn´t mind. They never did. He walked inside the house. Unsurprinsingly, he saw the house in the horrid state that had been for months. He looked straight into the kitchen to only see the disgusting sight of dirty dishes, spoiled food, and rats, many rats. He continued walked only to find that the floor was stickier than the day before. He stared at the floor, noticing a huge beer stain on it. He fixated his eyes to his door, and continued walking. He originally thought just going straight to his room, but his feet wouldn´t have it. He found himself walking into his father´s room, slowly, cautiously. He took a look inside and that was all he needed to see his father passed out. He decide to look a little to the right and there she was. He sighed as he started to go to his room again. Why he couldn´t see his father sober for once?
He entered his room as the only nice fragance in the house entered his nostrils. His room still smelled like the perfume Joe used that day. He didn´t cared about anything else as he threw himself in the bed. Every doubt he had could be resolved another day…

James´s Point Of View
An annoying beep was always the first thing I heard in the morning. This morning was an exception. I groaned as I remembered what day was today. It was Saturday. I could not wait to have a new Sunday… thinking of it, it is better that it´s Saturday. As a big kid I got out of bed on my own, remembering I had to do this for the past 6 years. I looked at my watch when I remembered that is not working anymore.
Whatever, I told myself to convince me that I wasn´t late for work. I got fast into the shower, trying to not wake up Hugh. He is always so cranky in the mornings. I got out of the shower and finished dressing and combing my hair. Knowing that there wouldn´t be any food in the kitchen, or at least, edible food, I went out to the chilly October morning. I got inside my new BMW and started the engine. In mornings like this I found solace in the roaring of my baby. Of course, that happened with my other car, which now was a property of Hugh. I directed myself to my work at a repair shop. I got out of the car and I only saw Frank there.
"Hi Frank", I said waving to him. He only nodded. Then a man emerged from the shadows. It was Joe.
"Why hello, James", he said with a glint in his eyes. I only gulped, knowing that I only possesed one month to answer him. I put myself to work, knowing that for now I wouldn´t be able to resolve anything.
