Unspoken Struggles
Chapter 1

“It’s too late to apologize… It’s too late… It’s too late to apologize… It’s too~……” Vernon picked up the phone, it was a text message

“Hey bro, it’s ladies night tonight! So are you going down? It is going to be a big party I promise” Stephen wrote in the text.

Vernon read the message, and without any hesitation, replied “Of course man, I’m not called a party animal for nothing. See you there.”

……

Soon, night falls, and it was party time…

The taxi pulled over right outside the club, and the queue was already full of people. “Looks like it is going be a great night…” Vernon thought to himself.

Stepping right inside the club, Vernon saw the whole club was filled with people, some drinking, some on the dance floor.

Making his way to his table, Vernon realized that a lot of his friends had already come down. Vernon saw Stephen, “Wow you got the whole world down tonight?”

“Told you that I promise it is going to be a great party” Stephen smirked.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, happily drinking away, playing some drinking games, having good laughs, and soon the vibe start to kick in, as the effect of the alcohol starts to be in action.

Vernon and the rest made their way to the dance floor, and dance the night away, until 1am.
......

After all the dancing, Vernon and Stephen went to sit at the bar, to take a rest and have a drink…

Vernon was chatting with Stephen, when suddenly, Stephen said “Hey bro, I think there is a girl looking at you over on your right… I realize she had been looking at you for quite sometime already….”

Vernon turned and saw the girl Stephen was talking about, and true indeed, there is a girl looking at his direction.

......

When he saw the girl, she is a tall and charming lady, he was shocked, it took some reaction time for him to realize the girl who was looking at him, was actually his close friend from his university days, Audrey!

The both of them were so surprised to see each other, they gave each other a big long hug, as they really had not been seeing each other for the longest time they could imagine.

“Hey, how come you are here?” Vernon asked, still in his shock.

“Haha, I am down with my friends, it has been eons since I last came clubbing. Never know I will see you here, I thought I saw someone who looks like you, and it was really you. Haha” replied Audrey.

“So how have you been?” asked Vernon excitingly, trying to catch up with his long lost friend.

So it was after the mini-catch up, both of them got to one corner and started to continue drinking and continue to get to know how each other had been.

And soon they got back to the dance floor and continue to dance the night away till lights on...
