Chapter 4 [ Avery's Past ]

Lights , camera, and action .

    " AGAIN AVERY , STOP REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKE . " Jerry stopped in front of me with a deep stare . " The theatre is in a week and you're still playing around ? Avery, you are the star for this stage . If you don't take this seriously , get out from my theatre . " as he threw the script to me , he was burning my anger and he had no idea what he did is wrong . Screaming , shouting and throwing things at me today , he really is pissing me off . I took a deep breath ,  slowly picking up the script ,
This theatre will end before it even starts sweetheart .

" Okay every each of you can go home but remember your script and your scene especially you Avery , I don't want the star to act like a fool on MY stage . " Jerry said with an abrasive expression . Everyone got off the stage , talking to each other , packing their bag , literally minding their own business . I took a deep breath and sigh before walking down the stairs to get off the stage. Folding my script into half and shoving it in my bag thinking about getting the hell out of here to finally get myself a cup of coffee .
" Going somewhere, Avery? Seems like you are in a hurry ". For God's sake, here we go again. Megan, Megan Brandi. The most annoying bitch in this theatre who won't stop talking and complimenting herself.
    " Avery honey, I know you are tired so here I have a deal for you. What if we switch our role? Don't worry I can convince Jerry, as usual " said Megan.
" Screw it, I'm not giving the spotlight to someone worse than me," I said as I zipped my bag when suddenly I felt a push on my right shoulder and a hot splash on my face. " I'm sorry Avery, I must have tripped and accidentally splash my coffee to your pretty face, Awh boohoo don't cry my dear ", her laughter was followed by everyone's laughter in the auditorium but as soon as I looked up to her face, I grabbed her head pulling it down while my left knee strikes her face.  Megan screamed and slowly touched her face when she realized her nose was bleeding.
" who's crying now? Boohoo ", I grabbed my bag from the seat and exit the auditorium with satisfaction but that won't repay for the 2 years of humiliation she gave to me and I had enough. For sure I have a brilliant idea in my head for such revenge towards so-called " theatre friends ".

    I got into my car and started the engine. Forget the coffee, I decided to drove back to my apartment instead. The sky was getting dark, as the wind started to blow and the rain started to fall. Gradually, the rain got heavier as the sound of the rain knocking my car. The traffic light turned red and I slightly turned my head to the left, a dark blue truck was beside my car. My heart stopped for a second and I know I can't look at the truck any longer. I stepped on the gas pedal as hard as I can even tho the traffic didn't turn green yet. A sharp turn to the right leading to an empty highway and little by little I released the gas pedal.
A sudden wave hit me from the back of my mind, pushing my memory of the past to join my thoughts. I was only 10 when I and my sister ran away from our abusive parents. With nowhere to go, no money, nothing. She was the only one I have. A natural thing for a human being to feel hungry after days of not eating. I was clumsy, I crossed the road without looking to my left and right because the only thing I was focusing on is the bakery from across the street hoping for just a piece of bread .
The bright light from the corner of my eyes and at that moment my body was paralyzed. The blue truck was getting closer, the light going straight to my eyes and the only word I can think of is death. Before I even know, I was already on the ground and still breathing. I felt bless until suddenly my atmosphere went dark. My sister pushed me out of the way. My heart started to ache and my tears started to drown me. Her body was on the ground covered in blood but I don't care. I ran to her and had her dead body in my arms.
I pulled over and took a deep breath even tho my chest felt tight. It was my fault and I'm the one guilty. Even now, I don't have anyone to care about or anyone to love and I deserve it. I grabbed my phone and rage started to fill my spirit. I texted the theatre group saying that it would be better if Megan is the star and in fact, we should start our first training with Megan as the start tonight. Everyone seems to agree and I was one step close to my plan. I rushed into my apartment and started working on the Demolition bomb just with a few sticks of Trinitrotoluene or more known as TNT. 5 sets of TNT demolition bomb with 5 sticks per set. I took a quick shower, took off my makeup, and changed my clothes. I pulled out a big black canvas beg from my storage and carefully placed the bomb in the bag. I snatched my car key, grabbed the bag, locked my door, and left my apartment .
    The time was showing 7:00 PM, I speed up to the auditorium since everyone will be here by 8:00 PM meaning I only have 1 hour to set and attach all the bombs.
No rush, don't want to make it so suspicious so calmly I grabbed my bag and went in the auditorium. I locked the other 2 exits, leaving the main entrance unlocked for them to come in. 1 set attached somewhere at the backstage, had to crawl under the stage to attach the bomb under the stage. 1 bomb somewhere in the seats and 2 of the bomb hidden on both sides of the stage. 1 set of TNT is powerful enough to destroy a mine, 5 sets of TNT is enough to destroy a whole building.
I got out from the auditorium getting into my car and drove a few blocks away from the auditorium. All the bombs were set to 8:45 PM, a time that everyone should be in the auditorium practicing the theatre for the upcoming show.
I wait and I wait until everyone got into the auditorium and closed the main entrance. Time passed and it is finally 8:43 PM, 2 minutes before the explosion. I don't even care about anyone in there, they mean nothing to me as no one ever appreciates me.
A loud noise with a red burst of explosion from the auditorium, vehicle's alarms started to ring and people screaming from the explosion. Like in the movies but make it a reality. Looks like the show ended here and it was time for me to go home. I walked into my apartment easily and my eyes caught on a paper on the kitchen counter. A second to realized how I walked into my apartment without unlocking my door. Under the paper, was a brown file.
" don't worry I'm not here. Find her ". For the first time, I actually felt threatened with a simple 2 sentences. Slowly, sliding out all the contents from the brown file . Questions started to fill my head. Who am I suppose to find? What does this person have to do with me? I guess I just have to find out. A few pieces of papers, fully detailed with information about this 22 years old woman that I never heard of.

Samara Sharpe?
