The Outlander { Kirk Hammett }

1993

I woke up to the sound of the alarm. "Fuck," I said and quickly got up from bed. I'm late for work.. again. I can't believe it.

I work as a makeup artist for actress Sara Shopie Flicker. We met in London, on Fashion Festival and she asked me to be her makeup artist after she saw my work. But I had to move to LA. So here I am now. Alone in LA without family or any friends. I'm here just for one thing. Work. I need this to build my career and save money, so I can start my own brand.

I quickly changed into a pair of black jeans, the first T-shirt I saw, and put my old black converse on. What should I do with my hair? I thought. "Uh, never mind I'll just leave it like this, there's no time for this." I took my makeup stuff, the bag with everything I needed, and left my old apartment.

I must look like I've just left the crematorium. My blond hair is messy and with no makeup on, I look like I haven't slept in ages.

"Please don't tell me I missed the bus." I said after I saw one left. Hopefully, it wasn't the bus I needed.

After half an hour, I managed to arrive. "Oh man, Sara's going to kill me," I said to myself.

I opened the door to the makeup room and found out that Sara wasn't there yet. But one person was. I instantly knew who. Rachel. Rachel is her hairstylist, and I can say that we got along these days. We spend a lot of time together, while Sara's on set.

"Hey Jan!" said Rachel with a smile, "late again huh?"

"Yeah, " I looked at her and stuck my tongue out as a sign of exhaustion, laughing. "Sara's not here yet?"

"No. She called and said that she'll be late because she's with someone. Maybe they'll come with her." said Rachel and looked at the clock. " She didn't say when she'll come but I think you have time to get yourself together a little. You look horrible."

"Thanks, " I replied and rolled my eyes with a smile.

Sara came an hour later, which obviously the director didn't like at all. I put on some makeup, dark brown eyeliner and the sides of my hair into a small bun so that the rest of the hair was loose, but still didn't bother me while I was working.

"Hey girls.. sorry I'm late, I was with my boyfriend," said Sara after she entered the room, "this is Kirk."  "Hey," said shyly her boyfriend.

I looked at him and said Hi to him. He's cute. No wonder why is Sara dating him. He's obviously her type. Long dark curly hair, a bit shorter than her but definitely taller than me, since I'm really short.. big brown eyes. Oh those eyes... I could look at him all day. He's probably my type too. 

NO JANIS! STOP IT! HE'S YOUR BOSS'S PARTNER!

 I stopped thinking about it and came back to reality. Shit, there's an awkward silence. Why is everyone looking at me? I didn't know what was going on so I just smiled.

Alright, this update from the older me. If you read this I have corrected some mistakes and tried to make it a bit more interesting by rewriting some parts. I can already say this is so bad but when I correct all the chapters, I promise I'll try to update more longer chapters with better quality. Enjoy!
