The Cost of Living

damned

- Get up!

A voice shirked opening the curtains of the hotel room, I put my arms over my face to block the sun from my face, it was too bright

- Close the damn curtains! I'm trying to sleep

- But it's late, you've been sleeping all day Janie

I groaned and threw the pillow over my head and laid on my stomach

- Get up!

Aeliana threw a pillow at my head, hitting me

- What the hell!

I shouted getting up

- Lets go, get dressed

She said, she was wearing her fishnet stockings and a David Bowie tee, wait

- Is that my shirt?

She walked back in the room and smirked

- You fucking dick

I said, she was wearing MY David Bowie tee and a plaid skirt and combat boots, she had her hair in a ponytail and wore red lipstick and black eyeliner, she is as pretty as Sharon Tate herself, she was also had a dog tag wrapped around her neck and black sunglasses.

I got up and went into my closet to find sheer black stockings and put them on which I decided to steal one of Aeliana's tees to be even, I threw on a white shirt she happened to have I put on a black skirt and combat boots, I let me hair down and messed it up a little and smudged my eyeliner like usual

- Ready? Hey! That's my shirt

Aeliana said peaking from the corner, I smiled

- When you steal my stuff, I steal yours that's how it's gonna work

She rolled her eyes and scoffed

- Whatever, let's go

She said grabbing my arm tightly.

We left the house and Aeliana was dragging me by my arm very tight I struggled to let go but she kept walking fast like she was late to a job meeting or something important

- Walk faster

She said

-I can't, your dragging me by my arm, Aeliana

She let go and stopped me in front of a pub

- This is it!

She said pointing to the pub but I couldn't understand what I was looking at

- A pub?

- Not just any pub, no, no, my sweet and darling Janie, it's a pub a very famous one the most famous in Brixton and where numbers of punk bands perform and jazz players perform and many other acts

- Ok..

- Are you stupid? I got us a gig here!

My eyes lit up

- No way

- Oh yeah

- When? Oh my god, does Josie know yet?

- Yeah, we got the gig together I wanted to surprise you

I grabbed Aeliana by the shoulders

- What the actual hell? We're gonna play at the most famous pub in Brixton where loads of acts perform?

- Exactly!

I yelled in excitement and jumped around

- Oh my god! I'm so excited, when is it?

- Sometime next week, hopefully soon but their gonna call me and let me know by tomorrow

I grabbed her by the shoulders again

- Ow, your holding on tight

- Oh my god!

I yelled

Everyone passing us stopped and starred at me but I didn't care

- Can you let go of me, please..

Aeliana said

- Shit, sorry

I said letting go of her shoulders, she grabbed her shoulders

- Holy fuck, your strong

She said moving her shoulders around to crack them, I smirked

- Why thank you

She smiled and put her arm around me and rubbed my hair

- I can't wait to see you be an idiot on stage

Aeliana said laughing and I did too.
