My heart thumps in my chest as I dart down an alleyway. Dead end. “Shit” I curse under my breath. A figure slowly turns the corner.
“Seraphina where are you?” The figure says slowly.
“CUT!” The movie director says with a sigh. “Zoe your supposed to look like your about to die in that corner, not lie your ready to fight him.”
“Sorry John. I’ll try harder this time I promise.” I tell him frantically.
“It’s fine, we’ll try again tomorrow.” He says sadly.
“But-“I try to say.
John looks at me weird “please.”
I slowly start to pack my stuff as I exit the building. Sighing, I hop in my car and drive to the nearest bar. As I arrive I show my ID and grab a glass of wine from a waiter. As I slump into a bar stool a stranger sits next to me. Ignoring him, I sip on my wine.
“Hey, i saw you at the sound studio today.” He says.
“And?” I ask annoyed.
“You were doing that shot right, it’s just John needs to have it perfect.”
“Okay?…. I best get going.” I say quickly, wanting to get out of here and away from him.
“I’ll drive you.” He offers
“No thanks” I say as I walk out of the bar. His gaze slicing through me like a dagger. Hopping in my car I drive home and hope it will go better tomorrow.
