Currently, at 3 a.m, Will was not having the best time of his life. The floor was littered with countless pieces of trash, pizza boxes, instant noodle cups, beer cans, wine and other preferably not mentionable things.
As to how he had ended up in this situation. We have to start in highschool where everything began, financial problems, social problems, health problems, educational problems, mental problems, kidney problems, internet problems blah blah blah ... blah... blah...bleugh
Actually there was only one problem, it was that he had just gotten dumped by his finance Marie, who he had thought to be his significant other. Which was basically like his world was ending. So he ended up spending the last 3 months holed up inside a 250 square-feet penthouse in New York.
He had spent the last 3 months staying holed up inside the penthouse and crying himself off in depression. By doing so he had ended up cutting off most of his contacts except for his family and close friends. Which led him to not having anyone to talk to, which on second thought made him even more depressed as time passed.
There was just too many problems that he decided to just give up and solve the issue at hand first. Which was that he was getting fatter, this shocked him out his depression as it had honestly never occurred to him that he could have ended up getting fat.
So he rushed to the gym on the second floor of the penthouse, and started to furiously working out, so that he could lose some of the "Flab" on his stomach. He even started going on a diet, after eating fast foods the whole month during his depression which was definitely challenging. Two hundred push ups, one hundred situps, continuous short sprints for 10 miles and swimming 200 meters to cool off. That was basically his schedule for the next 5 weeks until he eventually got his physique back.
After 5 weeks of working out and getting into shape, he finally decided to indulge himself to some fast food again, it was just a typical order of a pepperoni pizza with chicken and garlic bread. Whilst he was waiting he started to think about what to do now that he decided to go on with his life. He couldn't just go out and act like nothing happened, so he needed a reasonable excuse to use so that he wouldn't get embarrassed. Thats when the door rang.
Ding dong ! Ding dong! (I know it sounds weird, but the classic doorbells sound like this, so yeh)
He went downstairs to get the order, whilst thinking about how to solve this situation, when he finally went and opened the door, he saw a women who was 5 ft 6, with a face that would catch most mens attention, however this didn't work on Will as he wasn't an ordinary man, he was the son of the Herondales who were famous for the males in the family being playboys, with him being the exception (because of Marie Jones), but what did catch his attention was, the depressing and the confident vibe which were somehow being expressed at the same time. Thats when a brilliant idea came in mind, he decided to check once more to double check if the plan that he thought of might work or not by lifting up her head to meet his eyes. This seemed to shock the women greatly, as she flinched as though she wasnt used to human contact, and even tried to kick him in the groin. Which he blocked using his hands, though he was focused on her eyes that seemed to be fiery, with strong intent to battle through anything, but it seemed dim as though it was slowly losing hope. What he saw was definitely surprising as her eyes were crimson in color which was very rare, but what caught his attention was the artistic intent and intensity of determination that was contained within it. So he decided to think for a moment, about whether to actually go through with his plan which was overly complicated but at the same time simplistic. Whilst he was doing so, the women was jabbing at him and trying to kick his groin in order to avoid the skin contact, which was definitely annoying for him, but he didn't mind it as he was definitely being rude by initiating skin contact with a complete stranger
However conveniently he simply ignored this fact as he could just compensate her by giving her some money. If anyone had seen this situation, no one would think that this scene where a women was kicking at a mans groin would hold sentimental value at an international scale, as the scene was confusing at the very least as there were no words or communicating involved. However somehow far in to the future, the world created a painting of Jane Lucicast attempting to kick Will Herondale's groin and interpreted it to be romantic and poetic. somehow... (This is just how it is, some stupid events or just completely random things gain historical value or "value" for some made up reasons that is just weird. Like a painting of a toilet, or a gold toilet, apple, banana, pear etc)
This situation went on for about 8 more seconds until he finally made a decision. A decision that one day he would think back as the turning point, and possibly the best decision he had made throughout his life. One that would literally be world changing... which was to .....
