"Guys it's time to go," said Jerry "back to the hotel."

"Well nice meeting you Dorothy and we'll definitely listen to your demo," Dr. Dre added.

"Um.. thanks." I stood there motionless while I watched them board their tour bus.

Well, my dreams and goals as a famous singer are a flop. Just like my demo that they probably won't listen to.

"Excuse me miss? You should go home because a tornado is scheduled to hit town soon," said an older man.

"Thanks," I rolled my eyes.

I can't believe that just happened.

I can not believe that Aunt Em and Uncle Henry would stoop that low, causing me to miss my audition.

But, I blame myself. I blame myself for giving them too much credit. What was I thinking?

Well, looks like it's back to basics.

I walked home because I don't have enough money for bus fare. It's times like this in which I wish I was rich and had a car. Or maybe even hire a chauffeur.

On my way home, the wind started to blow. A tornado is scheduled to hit town soon.

Whatever.

As soon as I walked in, I threw my bag on the couch and attempted to ignore their presence.

"Where were you? Why did you leave work when we told you not to?" Aunt Em asked.

"You heard her. Go ahead and think of a good lie."

"Lie. I dare you," she spat.

I rolled my eyes. "Well you got what you want. Thanks to you, I'm still gonna be stuck in this tiny trailer and living on tips."

"Excuse me?" Uncle Henry retorted.

Can't believe I said that. But it felt good.

"Because of you, I missed my audition. But thank God I pre-recorded a demo. Hopefully they'll listen to it."

I scoffed and headed towards my room, slamming the door shut.

I grabbed my notepad and continued to write a song that I've spent days writing. I don't know what's wrong with me. Seems like I can't write how I used to.

I mean, I know what I want to say but I just can't write it down.

Writer's block. Writer's block. Writer's block.

Every writer's biggest nightmare.

"Let's see," I trailed off "I was a liar. I gave into the fire."

I continued. "I know I should've fought it at least I'm being honest. Feel like a failure cause I know that I failed you."
