JOEY WANTS TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY

Lyrical groggily turned off the alarm on her phone and slipped out of the comfort of her bed. Instead of going towards the bathroom, and getting ready for the day, she stood in front of the full-length mirror in her room and kept staring at her image. She found a tired, lifeless image of a woman staring back at her, whose usual bright smile, has completely faded. 

Lyrical had stopped experiencing the feeling of joy and fun of hanging out with friends when she went to the office. She no more asked Joey's help to dress up, instead wore whatever she could get her hands on in her wardrobe. Lyrical had stopped caring how she looked. Instead of a gleeful smile settled a fake smile.
