"What the hell?"

Pg. 6

I come back to my dad and he finished bringing the last box, finally!

- Claire, we're done for today, do you want to eat ice cream now?

- Great idea, I don't want to stay in this place.

- What? You didn't like it?

- I mean, the place is beautiful, full of life and that stage... It's everything I needed. But, the people just, don't pass the vibe.

- Well, I would love to tell you that you could stay in the hotel tomorrow, but I really need your help.

- It's okay, I'll be here, because you're gonna buy me ice cream hahah.

-Yeah, that's the price!

Unfortunately, we'll need to come back tomorrow, my dad needs to be here for the concert, to fix any equipment if it goes wrong. And i'd never let him go alone, what if that jerk ass man decides to be mean to him, i'd never let that pass, so i'll be my dad's guardian!!

-Oh my god, how I missed this flavor!

-Me too, I think this is the best ice cream ever.

-Yeah, It was so great when we used to come here, mom would buy that terrible flavor that she loved hah.

My dad stayed silent, we never talked about mom since she left us, it was two years ago, when she met a rich man, started doing drugs... She would tell my dad the most horrible things, I felt so sorry for him. She abandoned us, to live her perfect life in another country, with another man. Now I understand why she did that, she never wanted to have me in the first place, she was happy when was only her and dad, but after I was born sometimes she would cry, because she missed her lonely life, she would never kiss me, hug me, or even love me, but she was nice, she would give so much advice about life, but she herself wouldn't follow her own words.

-Sorry dad, I didn't mean to mention her...

-It's okay honey, that's water under... the bridge i suppose. He sighed.

-Yeah, let's forget this and enjoy this... melted ice cream. We laughed along.

It was a good day... Besides the fact I was pushed to the ground and started bleeding.

Tomorrow will be hard, I just hope I don't see that man.

The next day, me and dad are on our way to the venue, again... I have yet to meet the singer, a least i can enjoy the show today, since we will have to stay the whole day.

When we arrived the atmosphere was insane, like chaotic insane. There were people everywhere, walking, talking and running, some people screaming at each other, i think they were feeling very pressured about the concert tonight, i mean, i don't blame them, I would be too if I had to impress thousands of people.

Suddenly a lady stops me and says.

-Hey, are you the sound girl?

-Hmm, yes? I guess.

-Luke told me to give you this.

She hand passed me a bunch of warning signs.

-Who's Luke, and why did he give me this?

-He told me to describe him as the man who gave you paper yesterday. And the sign, it is for you to distribute to the warning areas.

What???? That man... What does he think i am? I'm here because of the equipments only, why would he think I would be willing to distribute this? I get extremely angry, after everything that he did, he still had the courage to boss me. Hah, I can't help but laugh, there's no way I'm doing it, I would have done it if it was for anyone else, but not for him, never!
