Crossed paths

Allena "Boom Boom Boom I say Boom Boom Boom" the loud alarm vibrated in the whole room. I rolled in my bed rubbing my head and groaned trying to find my phone "fuuuck!! What was I thinking putting this stupid ringtone. I searched the entire nightstand but I couldn't see it anywhere. Then I saw light coming from under the lamp table. I jumped from the bed to grab it, almost falling on the floor. I am so clumsy at times. I tried to bend on my knees to get to the phone from under the table. After struggling for good ten minutes I finally found it. I turned off the alarm and by heart skipped a beat when I saw one missed call from my agent and the time. It's seven in the morning, how is that possible. I just closed my eyes. How is it already seven am? My gut told me that this call will not end in a good way. I called back my agent immediately. "Hello, good morn...." "Stop wasting my time, I told you to reach my set by six am and since you are not here, you can take your sorry ass and find a new job. You are fired" my agent shouted and the line went dead. Rubbing my eyes I sit at the edge not believing what just happened. I just slept for an hour after I came from my night shift in the bar at 4 am and now I am late. I haven't slept for more than four hours for the last fifteen years. And now this one time I overslept just one hour and I am jobless especially when I can't afford it. I am hardly able to put food on the table after the debt installment when I had two jobs. What will I do now? Hell of a good morning it is, my life officially sucks. "Boom Boom Boom I say Boom Boom Boom" Not again, my phone ringing twice this early, it can't be a piece of good news. Dammit, my headaches. I saw the screen and felt a little relieved This time it's my best friend Ziya. "Hey sugar bubble, "Ziya said cheerfully. I can't understand where does she get this much energy from so early in the morning. "I lost my day job" I simply told her. She is my only friend and my source of strength which I was exactly in need of. "What not again did you get angry at another actress tantrums, "she said with a sigh. This was my fifth job this month but managing actresses in no cakewalk. It is so damn annoying. "Hush, I only did that once when that skinny b***h threw coffee because it wasn't 58 degrees hot, how did she even know it wasn't? And if her allergy list doesn't mention strawberries how am I supposed to know that she is allergic. It was not my fault that her face swelled up to the shape of football. " even remembering her lack of basic decency makes me cringe. She treated people like disposables. "Yeah, that was hilarious. So what was it this time ?" she hardly managed to speak in between laughing. "Stop laughing, I just overslept and couldn't reach set on time and now I am jobless. What will I do now? I have a debt installment to pay. I need to find a new job" I told her but she already knew that I was broke and she even tried to help me but I couldn't accept it. No one knows it better than me that money has power to destroy any relationship. "Why to worry when your guardian angel is here. I just have the right job for you that's why I called." Hearing those words my mood lifted instantly. "Tell me," I asked hopefully of some good news. "MTVss is organizing 'LOVE HUNT FOR BILLIONAIRE '.It will be a reality show where there will be one rich hunk who chooses from 10 girls his queen. The good part is that each contestant gets an assistant for the show and my sources have told me that each assistant gets paid 8000 dollars plus daily allowance. And now the best part, guess who select these assistants? My friend Jordan and you, my friend are now part of the crew" she said in one breath. Relief ran through all over my body. It was a temporary job but I will be making more than my previous two jobs combined. "I will definitely take the job. You are a lifesaver. I owe you big time" I said hardly containing my excitement. "No need, just be at the Saint theater at ten am, love you" and the line went dead. Within a few second she mailed me all other details and the job requirements.The best part that Ziya forgot to mention is that I get to fly to Miami with all expenses covered by the company so I will see the sea for the first time in my life. Ziya is right, she us my guardian angel. This is the best thing that has happened to me in long time and its all because of her. We have been best friends for ten years now. She is the one who helped me when my mother died and also when I was completely heart broken. She helped me survive and I would take a bullet for her. I put the phone down and took a deep breath. How one call changed everything thing. I have a job that pays double compared to my last jobs and lesser working hours. I get up dancing to get ready. I took a quick bath and then to put on my favorite blue dress and heels that always double my confidence. I applied my mascara and lip gloss and then saw myself in the mirror. Satisfied with my looks I decided to take the bus instead of a taxi to save money. Saint theater here I come.
