Bleed Myself Dry, Chapter 1: City lights

City lights


Two days ago I went to the town to speak with one of my friends' uncle, Pete. I want a summer job and Greta said that Pete can help me to find one.
When I entered the coffee shop I didn't see him so I just sat down next to the window to watch the people passing by. 10 minutes later someone poked my left shoulder.
- Ouch!
- Hi Karen! - Pete winked at me.
- Hey! Sit down! - I said.
- How are you? Have you ordered something yet?
- No.. I was waiting for you.
- Oh.. Ok. Then what do you wanna drink? Or are you hungry? - he started to read the menu.
- No, I'll be fine with a cup of coffe with milk and honey.
When the waitress left our table he pulled out some papers from his handbag.
- So Karen. What kind of job do you want?
- I don't really know. I just want to earn some money to buy some clothes and go to concerts..
- You say concerts?
- Yes - his question sounds weird. - Why?
- What if you were working with a band as an assistant.. maybe a slave as far as I know the musicians nowadays - he laughed.
- With who? - I became excited. I've known that he has some acquaintances in the music industry.
- Where are that sheet of paper.. - he had almost fifteen sheets.
- Anyways.. thanks Pete for your help. It means so much to me!
- Oh, nothing sweetheart, it's one of my jobs so.. Yes! Here it is! Sorry.. it doesn't say the name of the band or the singer..
- Could you ask somebody? It would be so much fun if I could work with musicians!
- I don't know.. Do you wanna know what are the other jobs?
- I don't think so.. - I laughed.
- Ok.. But what if the band was something classical..?
- That's why you have to ask somebody Pete!
- You're like a fourteen-year-old girl now...
- I'm 20.
- I know!
- And I'm into music.
- I see. Ok.. I call Adam - he started dialling.
While he was on the phone I was staring at him. Then he put the Iphone on the desk.
- So?
- I'm not sure if you know that band.
- Try me.
- It's called.. Motionless in white.
- What? - I whispered.
- Motionle..
- Stop! What the fuck? Are you fucking kidding me?? Motionless in white?? - I screamed.
Everybody in the coffee shop looked at me like I was an idiot.
- Ok, now you are really like a little teen girl.
- Chris Motionless is my musical hero oh my goodness!!
- I think that it's not the perfect job for you Karen. If you are a big fan of them it won't be a good idea.
- Oh come on! Please!
- Do you think that you would be fine with working there?
- Totally!
- Fine.
After that we did what we had to and now I'm standing on the pavement with my big suitcase and I'm waiting for the car that will bring me to the hotel where the guys staying at.
A beautiful black Audi stopped right in front of me. The driver got off the car and came to me.
- Miss Crawford?
- Yes, I am - I said excitedly.
He put my suitcase in the trunk and opened the door to me. I got in the backseat.
It was a 15 minutes road from the airport.
I thought that the band will greet me in the hall but I was wrong. We went to my room, it's number was 125. The man didn't say any information to me but he's already left. I went to the window. Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm here.. And what a view from here! The city lights are so bright and beautiful. It gives me strength and hope for the future. I'm so calm here.. It's just a dream coming true..
- Where is she?? - someone opened my door suddenly. - Oh here she is!
It was Ricky!
- Hello. My name is Karen Crawford. I'm your new assistant..
- Right. I'm Ricky and I want a fucking fridge in my room now!
- Mmm... A fridge? - I was a bit surprised.
- Did you hear me? Oh my.. I hope you are not a beauty with an empty soul because I..
- Hey! - Chris entered the room.
OH MY GOD!!
- Hello.. - I whispered.
- Is everything ok Ricky? - he asked.
- I hope so! But that chick is a little bit slow and she can't hear well.
- My ears and my hearing is fine, thanks - it was embarrassing.
- Ok. Than don't forget the fridge to the Room 148! - he left.
I was disappointed and I stared the floor.
- He had a bad day. Never mind! - hearing Chris' voice reminds me that he is in the room too.
- I'm fine - I put on a smile with shaking lips.
- I'm Chris Cerulli. What's your name? - he was so hot and kind. I'm melted..
- My name is Karen Crawford.
- Karen. Nice to meet you. Could you help me with planning the dinner?
- Sure..
We smiled at each other. I wanted to stay lost in that moment forever.
