C A L U M

My arm grows to get tired as I still hold my guitar over her head. As for me, I was drenched, little water droplets falling from my nose and cheeks. I keep looking down at her as she walked awkwardly, sometimes she would move her head to look at her surroundings, but she mostly starred at the ground, with her hands behind her back.

We finally reached Happy Melodies, where Brynn's car was still parked. I keep my guitar still in the air, as my arm feels, as if it will give out. She reaches out for the car handle, but quickly pulls back.

"Shit, I forgot the keys are locked in there. What do I do now." She whined. I pull my hand down, and could already see her hair getting soaked. I look down at her as she thinks to herself outloud, on what she was going to do. "Maybe a hanger? No wait, who carrys a hanger. Maybe if I use a hair clip, I don't have one in." She keeps going on and on about different ways to open the door.

I walk up next to her, and stare into the window. As she continues to talk to herself,  "Or a locksmith" She says pulling out her phone, but it was too late, I raise my guitar and smash her window, causing large glass shards fall to the ground, creating smaller shards. I look at my hand holding my now broken guitar, and catch a glimpse of Brynn, she's pissed. I send her an awkward smile, and reach in the car grabbing her keys.

"Here you go." I say slowly handing her the keys. She starts to get closer as I back away. "Well, see you tomorrow." I quickly say, and start running the other direction. I admit, wasn't the best thing to do, but I really wasn't in the mood to have my face impounded.

I walk up to the entrance of Happy Melodies and take a deep breathe. I step foward, stepping into a vast puddle, getting my vans soaked in water. I just shake it off and continue into the store. I scan the area, to see that no one is here. I walk up to the front desk, still searching the store, as I spot a bell. I reach my hand out, about to ring the bell when I see a figure start to get closer. I look up to see an irritated Brynn. I send her a cheesy smile, as she still looks at me with a hateful eye.

"What do you want? The bill for my car window? Cause I've got it right here." She says holding up the bill.

"Oh, you still mad about that?" I chuckle awkwardly, rubbing the back of my head.

"Still mad?" She scoffs. "Well my window is STILL broken, so yes, I am still mad!" She says getting more pique by the second. I just ignore her comment, and place my broken guitar on the desk. She scoffs, crossing her arms. "I'm not fixing this." She simply says.

"Come on Brynn. Please, I have another show in three days." I beg, leaning onto the counter.

"Not until the bill for my window is payed." She refuses. I send her a smirk, causing a confused expression spread across her face.

"I'll pay it only if you go on a date with me." I say leaning in, and staring up at her.

"No."

"Fine, then I won't pay." I say standing up straight.

"Rather you pay the damn bill, or I call the police." I couldn't fight with a police officer.

"Fine." I say rolling my eyes, "But can we still do that date thing?" I say changing the subject.

"I'll think about it, after my window is fixed." She says. I could see a little smile appear on her face, but it quickly fades away.

"Great." I say grabbing the bill that lied on the desk, and leaving my guitar lying there. "I'll get it in ASAP." I wink, and exit the store.
