LOST SOUL

Music playing in the background, a petite seventeen year old with an olive skin and curly brown hair approached the barrista to order her usual cappuccino from her favourite coffee shop. She wears black dress and high heels with her earphones on, humming to herself, waiting for her name to be called. "One tall cappuccino for Alex" called the barrista. She walked up to the counter, smiled reached to get her coffee and hurried back to her table. Turning the pages of the big black book she looked at her watch and screamed" Ooops! It's almost 9pm! Shit! I need to hurry!

She rushed to the washroom, reapplied her favourite red lipstick and sprayed her favourite scent vanilla. She ran to the other side of the mall.

"Hey! How are you! Crowds having fun tonight it's Friday". She turned her back,a guy holding his guitar on the stage, tuning it up and checking the audio for their first set. His name is George. "Yep!!! I sang several times here I dunno why I get nervous for every first set of the gig" They both laughed.

"Can I asked for a glass of hot water" she asked from the bar.. clearing her throat over and over again.

Check 123 echo picthed...

Crowd and murmuring.. no ones listening just a usual friday where friends would catch up about work and their lives.

Good evening ladies and gentlmen This is Amy and welcome to our first set. George stramming the guitar slowly..

I would have given you all of my heart

But theres someone that torns it apart

and hes taking just all that I have

but if you want I'll try to love again

Baby Ill try to love again but I know

There was a moment of silent right after she started singing, the crowd looked at her mesmerised with her voice they felt how she meant everyword that came out of her mouth. The crowd starts sending song requests. She started to gain her confidence and smiled to George who smirked funny.

She feels all all the song she sings. Reflecing to her music all from beginning to end. Forty five minutes later their first set was already done and they're taking a break before second set begins.

George took some fries and beer from the bar and put it on the bands table. Tofy the beat box guy came in late with his younger brother Pete.

Pete smiled at Amy and reached his hand for a friendly shake, Hey I'm Pete.. whats your name?

Amy smile, " I''m Amy..

You looked young where do you study? He continued.

She half smiled, " I dont go to school anymore and it's a long story that Im pretty sure will bore you.

He likes boring old story. Tofy and George teased the young guy.

Haha.. Well my parents got separated, my father remarried and I am on my own now thats why I joined the band.. She laughed making sure no one notice she's not enjoying telling people how bad her life that needs saving.

Thats a short stort! Who said its long?! Well do you have any plans in pursuing? maybe in the future? Pete continued to ask

She bite her lips and drank all the soda from the cup shes holding. Right now Im just trying to find money to feed my mouth at least 3 time a day..

Scratching her head with humour... Ill probably think the rest of my bigger problem soon but for now Ill finish the second and third set..get my talent fee then Im done.

George laughed picked his guitar and they started playing on stage for the last two sets for that night.
