Jessie.

The sound of the door bells erupted in the silent music store, signifying that someone had entered, while also waking me from my slumber.

"Jessie, you can go home now, I'll take it from here" Mr. Mendes, my boss spoke in his old tired voice.

Mr.Mendes was the kind of person who was serious at times but is super nice! He's in his 60s now! It's a pretty old age and you would expect him to be retired but nope. He's still here running this empty music store- with my help of course.

The store was named Alex although Mr.Mendes' first name was shawn.

I guess it might've been his dad's name or something.

I look up at the ancient clock hanging from the electric blue walls that were beginning to peel off, the time was only 3:00 pm and normally my shift ended 4:00 pm.

I gave Mr. mendes a questioning look and he didn't reply, he just ignored it and searched through a stack of CD's.

I walked towards my coat and bag but stopped when I heard the soft strummig of a guitar, which was soon followed by the sound of an angelic voice.

I turned around to see that Mr.Mendes had been standing by the old stereo currently playing the amazing song.

"Who's this song by?" I ask, bopping my head a little to the tune.

Mr.Mendes chuckles softly before speaking "Me"

"You?" I ask slightly surprised

"Me"He repeats himself.

"Wow, your talented!"

"I was- once when I was a kid, around your age." He speaks cleaning a bit of dust from a guitar.

"Were you like, famous?"

"I guess you could say I was pretty popular" he states looking to the floor smiling.

"MY BOSS WAS AN EX SUPERSTAR!" I scream randomly, not actually being as excited as my  actions may portray.

"Be quiet" Mr.Mendes scolds.

"Sorry, I'll turn down" I apologize.

"For what" Mr. Mendes begins to laugh like a mad man while I awkwardly stand there watching him, not understanding what's so funny.

"Sorry, old school pun" This time it was him apologizing. I nod and shrug it off.

"How?"

"How what?" Mr Mendes answers still cleaning the guitar.

"How'd you like, become famous?" I ask, curious.

"An app named Vine." Mr. mendes spoke, as he stared of into the distance. I look up and look at what he's looking at, then go beside him and ask.

"Um Mr.mendes, what are you looking at"

He snaps his head towards me and smiles "I've seen them do this in the movies, you know, when someone has a thought or memory. they look up and say the story"

"Oh right." I chuckle, then look back at him as he beings to talk again.

"So. Where do i begin, ah right!" he exclaims.

"Many, Many years ago, when I was just 10 I had self taught myself to play the guitar. I loved it. I slept, ate, went to school, then played my guitar. You could've asked anyone where I was and they'd say; 'Shawn's busy playing his guitar'

I was a kid with passion for the instrument which could make a beat with a couple of strings.

A few years later, I was around 15. I found this app named vine. 6 second videos, it was. I never really paid attention to it but one day I decided to post a quick cover on it. I sang a song in 6 seconds and that one 6 second video turned into another, then another, then another. And soon, I had my own fans! It was amazing" He smiled at the memory.

"Sometimes I would have places where people would want me to sing,you know,like gigs, people loved my voice I guess. And I would usually get requests and ideas to make songs for my fans. I really loved it , the fame, the attention, but most of all; I loved Alex."
