Ordinary Girl
Chapter 1
In the taxi cab I looked at the card on the back of the passenger seat it said "Bryan Black" where have I heard that name before, oh yeah, he soldtools for Kourtney's dad I said "You knew a Erick Ryan right?" the taxi man looked at me "yes I did, are you Alice Monroe?" I said "yeah, so what are you doing over here in Hollywood what happened?" Bryan said "well, when you left Kourtney got really depressed so her dad stopped repairing cars for fun and got a real job as a judge to give a Kourtney an example. So, he said to me "Bryan I won't need your services anymore" we arrived at the airport I asked quickly "But why did you become a taxi man" Bryan looked at her and chuckled "easy, Erick was my only customer" I paid him and got out of the taxi and through the window I said "Does Kourtney still live in West Virginia" Bryan said "yes, and good luck"
I was purchasing my tickets to West Virginia the next flight is at 4 A.M. I looked at my watch 12:30 A.M. I bought them and went to the waiting area I set the alarm on my cell phone to 3:30 so that I would have time to throw it away; well I have to be smart my phone has a built in GPS system and my 2 horrible managers would find me. I lie down on the chairs and fall asleep. And start to dream.
Michael and Mitchell my managers, Michael was the one who discovered me at the county fair, I was in a recording studio auditioning for what I thought was a dream come true, I stopped singing and they called me into the meeting room and said that they would give me a recording contract, I remember that I was so excited for what was ahead of me my life as a singer.
I remembered the day I left…at the airport waiting, Kourtney and I were crying Erick was even there, my mom told me that it was time to go, I kept looking at the entrance to see if I could see Jake anywhere but he didn't…
I woke to the sound of my alarm, it's time, I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes, I get up lazily and walk to a trash can, throw my cell phone away when no one was looking. I sighed a sigh of relief.
I walk back to my seat and sit down and start to look out the window, I try to look through the darkness and remember the sweet memories Kourtney, Jake, and I had before I knew it I was day-dreaming
I was sitting on Kourtney's balcony just watching the sunset, Jake was watching T.V. in the living room which is right next to the balcony, Kourtney was up stairs getting changed because we were going to the mall later, the point was that Jake and I were alone of the first floor, I was just sitting there starring at nothing and everything, then Jake comes in and taps me on the back I jump a little he laughs at me I glare at him and say "what you just came here to scare me?" he says "not completely" I roll my eyes and we both look at the sunset I say "it's beautiful" Jake looks at me "not as beautiful as someone I know" I look at him and say "who? That Valentine girl?" he just stares at me "no, you" I blush and hit him playfully he says "it's true" and we just stared at each other for a minute when Jake starts to lean in, I closed my eyes and waited, when I finally felt his soft lips against mine I felt different, he pulls away and just has his mouth open I look at him and say "um, what was that." Jake says "I don't know I just lost control" I said "but it didn't mean anything. Right?" Jake shakes his head and says "no, so we can't tell anyone not even Kourtney" I nod and say "deal" he walks back inside while he rubs his head in frustration. I just sit there looking into the sky and gently touch my lips where he had kissed me and smile.
I woke up to the sound of the announcement that my flight was boarding I get up and hand my ticket to the attendant. I board the flight and sit down, the plane starts to move and we take off I look at the sky and the houses that were becoming smaller and smaller as we fly. I sit back and look at the roof I remember that after that kiss nothing was the same between Jake and I.
Kourtney and Jake were at my house watching 'American Idol' the finale Kourtney and I both thought that Sara was going to win, Jake didn't really care "And the winner of this year's American Idol is…" says the T.V. announcer Kourtney and I are practically falling out of the couch waiting "Sara!" the T.V. announcer says as the crowd on T.V. goes wild. Kourtney and I jump up and scream we both hug Jake gets up saying "ok, ok" and hugs Kourtney he turns around to hug me but he backs away and so do I, I rub my arm embarrassingly and keep celebrating with Kourtney.
I snap back to reality and slowly fall back asleep…
