Target. the one place you can stay for HOURS just looking around at all the things the store carries without getting bored. As i'm whirring around the isles i'm playing some of my home demos in my ears. It always allowed me to think about how I wanted the songs produced, every layer and instrument being used and how I could manipulate the sound to be exactly how I wanted. As i continue through the store, I reach my favorite stop, the toys. Obviously. i look around, hunting, scanning, trying to locate the exact thing on my mind. Ah yes, the Hogwarts full lego set. Almost 130 dollars.
"Jesus fuck." I whisper to myself a tad too loudly, I glance back at the small boy standing behind me who seemed to have not heard me. So much for preserving young minds. I had some cash in my jacket pocket from the last gig I played, but there was no way that it was enough, and I was planning on using it so I could actually eat a meal that wasn't chipotle tonight. I definitely only had 10 dollars on my card, and food is getting expensive. So not today I had to tell myself, maybe one day though. Hopefully i'll be famous enough to afford all the legos and food at the same time. But who am I kidding, i'll probably be playing in bars and 50 cap rooms for the rest of my career (if you can even call it that) that will definitely inevitably end one day. Much sooner than later for sure, much sooner than I dreamed it would. I sigh to myself and put the box down, continue gazing, before I travel out of the lego aisle. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket as i'm walking, as I grab it, it lights up revealing a text from my mom.
"Are you planning on going back to school?" Fuck. I feel the tears well in my eyes as i'm walking. just thinking that I could let her down, all the money she's wasted on me just for me to fail. It hurts my heart. Suddenly I look up, but I look up way too late. I end up knocking into someone pretty tall. They drop everything that they were carrying (reese's puffs and blueberries?) and stumble back, I don't hesitate before I apologize and pick up their box of reese's puffs, they beat me to the blueberries. I finally look up to meet his eyes. one blue... and one green? Peculiar. His hair was messy... and multicolored? He was wearing a purple hoodie, which complimented his complexion greatly, He was gorgeous to say the least. I gather my composure and open my mouth, only for no words whatsoever to come out.
"Whoops." He says with a smile.
