Famous Love

The fire

Elle.

Sirens. They triggered bad memories from my childhood.

I was afraid of fire. It killed my parents and my little brother. I was seven, then.

Now I'm twenty. I never imagined I would be a waitress in a bar. The bar which was on fire.

I spotted Becky. He was talking to Brandon. I wanted to ignore him but that was not going to happen.

It was noon and I had not eaten anything.

They approached me.

''What's up, Elle? I've been trying to reach you all morning!'' Becky said.

''Sorry, my phone was off. I came here quickly when I saw your messages. When did it start.'' I asked

''Just this morning.'' Brandon answered.

''Was it involved with the fight last night?'' I asked

''We don't know.'' Becky said

''We don't even know how it started." Brandon said

I saw Anna pacing on the parking lot. She was so stressed out. She saw me and smiled at me. Something she has never done.

I went to her.

''Sorry for this tragedy.'' I told her.

''If it wasn't you who did this, don't apologize.'' She rolled her eyes. And the other side was back.

''Fuck! I hate this.'' She said as she was biting her lips.

I knew she was afraid of only one person. Her dad. Jason Cooper. He was the owner of the hotel.

Jason Cooper was an impatient, hot tempered man. I saw him mostly at the hotel. He never came to the bar.

Speaking of the devil... Jason arrived. He was mad. He looked at Anna with cold eyes and then at me.

Anna went to him and I went back to Becky and Brandon.

I stared at Jason's lips, hoping to read them.

''Elle, Elle!'' Becky waved her hand infront of my face.

I did not hear her call me. She pointed at something.

It was a black bugatti approaching. Brent Miller got out of it.

What was he doing here?

''I thought his boy band was going back to London today?'' Becky said.

''And how do you know this?'' Brandon asked.

''Internet fool! Maybe they are not leaving, I don't know.'' She answered.

I looked at his eyes as they searched through the crowd of people. He was probably looking for me.

When he saw me, he smiled. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Jason and Anna. I could see Anna trying to explain something to him.

''Oh Shit, he's coming.'' Becky said.

''Who's coming?'' Still looking at Anna.

''Brent's coming. Act cool.'' Becky said

I turned to see Brent who was like 6 metres away from us.

''Hey.'' Brent said

''Hi, what brings you here, uuum. What do...'' Becky said.

Brent interrupted her, ''Can I speak to you? In private?'' He said to me with a bright smile.

''Whatever you have to say to her you can say infront of us.'' Becky said

''Noooo.'' I told her. He took my hand and walked me out of there.

I looked back at Brandon who was getting furious.
