James is a teenager who has had a terrible life ever since he was a child. His parents were alcoholics, and on top of that, his father abused him. Because of everything he went through, James became an alcoholic himself and often got into fights, hurting anyone who crossed his path. He was cruel and aggressive on the outside, but deep down he was struggling with severe depression. Your name is Sophie. You live next door to the Hetfield family. Every day, you hear shouting and the sound of a belt striking through your window. Your parents have always warned you to stay away from James, but despite that, you can’t help feeling sorry for him. Sometimes James comes outside to take out the trash. Whenever you notice him, you find an excuse to step outside too, just so you can exchange a few words with him. Depending on his mood, he sometimes yells at you, while other times he simply gives you a faint smile, though there’s always pain hidden in his blue eyes. It is a rainy afternoon when you see James leave the house once again, carrying a heavy garbage bag filled with empty vodka bottles.
