Noel rubbed his eyes as he woke up. Looking at the time, he lay back down on the pillow. He had been out of it for nearly twenty hours. Well, that is what he got from driving here without stopping.. He knew shouldn't have come to this house. He was supposed to have gone on a vacation to forget Amy. And yet, like a true masochist, he had come here, where she had lived during her short separation from AJ. Instead of running away from the memories, he followed them.
He stared at the ceiling and wondered if she also used to lay here thinking about her future. He knew he needed to get up and maybe get something to eat, but he couldn't truthfully muster the energy.
Suddenly, loud music started to play. He frowned wondering which neighbour would be so annoying to play old 90's songs at such high volumes early in the morning. It was barely eight o'clock! And then it struck him. The music was coming from inside his home!
