Meet Drew

709.4 miles away (by road)

7:00. His alarm went off, a song blaring in his ear.
Even if I say
It’ll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life…

He yawned and stretched, slowly pulling himself out of bed, and turned the music up.
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

He got up, threw a burnt orange t-shirt on and some jeans. Walking into the bathroom, he turned on the water and wet his hands, splashed water on his hair, and messed with it untill it looked just as messy as before.
This world will never be
What I expected

He walked back into the main room and shook his head at his roommate, still asleep despite the music. In his hand was an empty champagne bottle. He threw the bottle away, grabbed his jacket and bag, and headed out the door
‘Cause it’s not too late
It’s never too late

(Note: The song is Never Too Late by Three Days Grace, if you didn’t already know that)
