               🔥 ALEX 🔥
.
I was nervous. Really nervous.
I stood before the huge crowd with the mic in my hand.

Everyone was jeering at me to sing. But I couldn't.

I was shaking like a leaf.

"One minute gone" One of the stern judges said.

"C'mon sing!" Another chided softly.

I couldn't take it any longer, I threw the mic and ran out of the stage. Everyone jeered at me as I retreat.  I guess I can never be a singer.

Later that Day,

As expected, I was visited by Jane and Chris.

"Boy, you ruined your only opportunity of becoming a music star." Chris said as he walked into my little house, situated at the twelfth floor of the fifth floor of the twelve storey building.

"That's not my only chance, dude" I retorted.

Jane looked pathetically at me, "I've never known you to be so nervous"

"I guess, you've never known me" I scoffed.

They both sat in my ugly cushion and they both fix their eyes on me.

"So, who won?" I asked after a while.

"Jeremy" Chris blurted.

"Jeez!!!" I placed my palm over my mouth, trying to conceal the surprise.

"You would've won if you performed. That's for sure" Jane said.

I stared at her. Then at Chris.

They knew my question. Chris replied "He sang, *Triple Stars by Tony Hudson*".

"What???" I shouted.

"And do you know his prize" Chris asked Tentatively.

Gosh! I know.

Whoever wins the *Teenage Voice* show will get a chance to meet the original singer of the song the person represents.

Jeremy sang Tony Hudson song, meaning he's going to meet with the most famous singer in the country; the singer with the famous ocean eyes.

I was hyperventilating.
Jane came to me and placed her hand on my shoulder, "You don't have to blame anyone. If you had sang, you would've won."

"And you've to wipe that stupid tears away" Chris said with irritation.

I didn't realize that I was crying.

I wanted to say something when the "Call to Duty" phone rang.  I rushed to pick it up.

"Alex, we've an important guest tonight, make sure his room is perfectly clean. Room 175. Hurry up" Mrs Carla screamed into the phone.

"Ok ma, I'll do that now". I said and hung up.

I turned to my friends,
"I think you've to go. I have lots of work to do"

They nodded.
They understood that I work in this twelve storey building as a cleaner. They also understood that the house I was living in was once a kitchen which was given to me by the manager of the hotel, Mr Smith.

He knew I was homeless so he gave the kitchen to me which I later converted to a bedroom. At least is big.

"It seems there's an important client, coming" Chris said.

Jane was looking out of the window, down the compound.

"Indeed, a very big guest" She exclaimed.

I and Chris rushed to the window.

Below, was a large convoy.

Police were all over, securing a particular black tinted car.

Mr Smith was down too, bowing fervently at whoever is in the car.

"I think, we really have to leave now" Jane said to Chris.

"Bye Alex" They both hugged me and hurried out.

I sat down on my bed and went wild in thoughts.

The jerkass Jeremy is going to meet with my role model; TONY HUDSON.

My heart clenched as I thought of it.

I forced myself to sleep.
But sleep wasn't coming.

Then I remembered that I was ordered to do something.

"Oh my God....Ms Carla will definitely get me fired.  Room 175".

I took my Mop stick, my broom, my dirt pan and my table towel. I rushed to the elevator which took me directly to the last floor. 

I ran like a horse and rushed to the room 175.

I didn't bother to knock, I just rushed in.

Lo and Behold, the person standing before me is no other than Tony Hudson.

He's the guest.

But there's a bad news.

And the bad news is that I came at the wrong time.

He was naked, about to take his shower.

"What the F**k" he gnashed his teeth and grabbed his towel.

I felt like fainting. I couldn't even talk.

It came as a shock when he came forward and gave me a hard blow on my face. "You scoundrel, ya mama ain't teach you how to knock." He seethed and hit me again.

Then he shouted someone's name. Surprisingly, battalion of guards rushed to the scene.

He handed me over to his guards.
"Give him the greatest beating of his life" He ordered.

The guards dragged me away like a piece of meat.

You wouldn't want to imagine what happened next.
