She Was Soon To Leave - Alex Turner

"Yeah, I have some news! Oh wait you're first...
W...what?" Marie practiced her lines for the audition.

She was in the road, the traffic was terrible.
Suddenly, she heard someone honking at her from a car behind her.
What does he want? She thought to herself.
She didn't notice that the cars in front of her, already started to move.

The car behind her moved to be next to her car, she saw a teenager, possibly the same age as her,driving alone in the car.
"You gonna move soon?" He asked.
Marie rolled her eyes and showed him a middle finger.

Marie's POV:
I finally arrived to the cafe, the cafe that I'm working in, I got dressed and waited for clients.

A beautiful woman came with sunglasses, her hair was brown and it was gelled into a bun.
"Two coffees please." She said.
"It'll be 5 dollars miss." I said and gave her the coffee.

Suddenly, my boss came and stood next to me.
"No need to pay, take it for free!" She said to the beautiful lady.
"Oh no, I insist!" The woman said and gave her money. I saw her walked to the motorcycle, her boyfriend is probably there, waiting for her.

I got a notification on the phone, I quickly checked it and gasped. My audition! I have to go now, before I'll be late.

I told my boss and she wished me good luck.
I hurried to get out, and suddenly a man spilled his drink on my white shirt. What a great day.

I put on my coat  and drove to the audition.
"Yeah I have some news! Oh wait you're first...W...what?" I said to the phone and started crying. The examiners looked at me.
"That's enough, thank you for coming." They said.

I didn't finish, but I got out of the office, a lot of beautiful women sat there. They all were much prettier than me.

I got back to my apartment, I lived with some of my friends, without my parents.
"Hey Marie! We are going to a party tonight, you're coming?" Liza asked me. She had a beautiful red dress on.
"I don't think so...I'm a little busy, not feel like coming." I said.

"Ugh come on Marie, don't say that you have nothing to wear! That's not an excuse." Liza, Bella and Jess said to me.
"And here, you have this blur dress! It looks so good on you!" Jess said, she had a short and shiny green dress.

"I'm not coming!" I said and they got out.

A few seconds later...
"Wait! Wait for me girls!" I screamed when Bella almost started driving.
"Oh look who finally realized that she's bored!" Bella laughed and I got in.

We arrived to the party, a lot of people were there. An electro pop songs were on.

Then, a guy stood on the stage and played his electric guitar, while singing.
I saw that his manager tried to tell him something.

The Guy's POV:
I played some known rock songs. But it was so boring. I wanted to play something that I really want, but it wasn't in the set list.

You know what? Fuck it. I said to myself and started playing the song that I really wanted.
The manger, who also made the set list, looked at me with an angry look, he whispered something like : "stop playing this shit or you'll get fired."

I didn't care, I kept playing the song.
When I finished, the manager took me by my hand to the side.

"You're fired, Turner." He yelled at me.
What a great day. For the third time, I got fired, in the same club, by the same manager.

"Please sir, give me another chance! It's my only job!" I pleased but it didn't help.

Marie's POV:
The guy finished playing and everyone clapped their hands.

But only now I realized, that it was the said boy who yelled at me in the traffic.

I saw him walking to the exit, so I walked to his direction.

"Hey I heard you playing and it was-" I tried to say but he didn't listen. He just brushed his shoulder aggressively with mine and got out.

Ouch...
