Shalaska- A Love Story

Chapter 17

I put my phone down and satlooking out of my window at LA. I didn't know what I was doing backhere.

I went to bed that night with myhead full of strange thoughts.

*

I woke up with a plan I grabbedmy phone and texted my agent:

To: Jason (agent)

I don't feel like acting ismy thing so i'm gonna go away for a while, Justin

I hit send then placed my phoneback on my bedside table and grabbed some clothes off of my floor.

When I was washed I headed outto the nearest shop to buy some boxes. I returned home and startedwrapping my possessions in newspaper before placing them in theboxes, most of these were going into storage.

Most of my possessions werepacked by the time I was due to leave. I grabbed my drag case, lockedmy apartment then made my way to the bar where I was performing thatevening.

"Justin you're late what keptyou?"

"I'm sorry Mark alright can Ijust go get ready?"

"Yes get downstairs." I mademy way to the dressing rooms and immediately started applying make-upto my face.

About forty five minutes laterand I was in full drag. I made my way down corridors and nodded atMark who was out talking on the stage. "Alright ladies andgentlemen please welcome our special guest Miss Alaska Thunderfuck!"People cheered and clapped as I walked out on stage. Mark handed methe microphone and I started to talk to different people before Istarted singing.

*

The music stopped and there werefinal cheers as I left the stage. "Hey Justin will you be able toperform next week?"

"I'm sorry Mark but I won't bearound much anymore."

"That's a shame but anywayhere's your money." I took the envelope and made my way back to mydressing room to untuck.

Once all my make up had beenremoved and I was back in my everyday clothes I made my way backhome.

I entered my empty apartment andleft my case in the corner. I pulled out my phone and phoned acompany about a storage unit after that I called my landlord.

That night I went to bed feelingmore excited, everything was changing for the best.

I put my phone on my bedsidetable whilst I got up and rifled through my cases for something towear.

There was a knock on the door. Iheaded down the hallway and unlocked it revealing two strong guys."Steve's storage."

"Oh right yeah this way."The two guys followed me into the living room. "It's just theseboxes and all the furniture."

 "That's fine, just sign hereplease you will have to keep these papers as proof." I used the penthe guy handed me and signed my name on the dotted line. "There yougo." I left the two guys with the boxes whilst I went to thekitchen to grab something to eat.
