Apartment # 3

Mr #3 currently lives on the 39th floor, but will soon be neighbors with Mr #1 on the 40th floor once he moves. Mr #3 is just loved by his friends. He lives a simple life, and laughs at the many disappointments it has thrown at him. He truly believes in doing what he loves which is coaching, even if it means a small paycheck by the end of the month. All his life has been nothing but a struggle, yet he keeps his chin up. As of now he is not on his best mood, he just found out that his girlfriend of three years has cheated on him. As we enter his apt, everything is pretty much upside down. There’s just not enough time. His commute to work is an hour and a half one way and his clients are scattered all over the city. Money is running low and emotions are running high. Mutual friends between him and his ex-girlfriend have vanished or otherwise taken sides; and half of the time was not his. His current agenda involves watching movies, attending karaoke nights and seeking a full-time job. Is 1:00 o’clock in the morning, and as of now, Mr# 3 is drinking, with a broken heart and in front of him is the remaining half of the the bottle of whiskey. His cellphone is on but in “do not disturb” mode. The phone keeps going off, almost in a desperate last attempt to be picked up. He just doesn’t want to hear from the world. 100% isolation. Despite the current storm, his heart has seen better days. He has several athletic accomplishments which reads “best player East conference” several first place and infinite medals. Right under the award draped wall, lays a bag of laundry which has to be done, and bills that have to be paid. There are dishes all over the kitchen, and a roommate that doesn’t stop complaining of how Mr#3 is barely capable of keeping up with rent. His mom is currently ok, but has already suffered her first stroke. Under his mentoring were two younger brothers who he had to look after, and still does, even though they are all grown up now. He loves to sing and among his many passions is his love to spend time training. Although his heart is shuttered, he still dreams of a better life and a better job. He currently holds a part time job, and this is how he will soon meet Girl#2, the new neighbor on floor 25.
