Life just got better.. (Norman Reedus fanfiction)

"There's some letter for you Sage" my mum shouted up the stairs as she woke me up. I rolled over to check the time 4pm. "Oops" I mumble under my breath. As I was about to get up my mum had already barged into my room shouting at me to get up and thrown the letters landing everywhere and stormed out, like usual I guess. I just sighed sat up and flipped her off. I reached for the letters and started opening them, bills, bills and more bills. I just sighed. Being unemployed sucked, but atleast I had more time to do my makeup for making a portfolio. I'm 19 and I love doing makeup, I have short blue dyed hair with blue eyes. The makeup I do its my just the normal day to day makeup, but I'm more interested in making zombie masks and other supernatural masks but the zombie ones were my speciality and favourite. I was making a portfolio so I could go to college and university to study makeup and drama, to help get into the makeup business. I had pages on f*******: with pictures of my work. I had a ton of likes on the page, I was quiet impressed I mean people asked me to do there's for Halloween parties and would even pay me! It felt so good to be payed for something I love.. I'm rambling I know but back to these bills! I shoved the letters over in the corner of the room beside the rest of them and just headed back to bed and sat down where I noticed one letter had fallen on the floor when my mum practically threw them to me, with one more sigh I got up and went for it. It didn't look like a bill, maybe it was another appointment from the job centre wanting me to go in and moan at me as per usual. But as I turned it over it didn't have that address on the back, it said it was sent from Georgia. "Georgia?" I said out loud confused. I opened it and skimmed through it quickly reading out loud; "dear Miss Preston, my name is Frank Darabont, I am the creator of the AMC's The Walking Dead I have seen online your photos of the makeup work that you do and I have to say you are blah blah blah... And I would like to offer you a position to do our zombies makeup.. Please call me on the number at the bottom of this page as soon as possible..." I stopped reading confused and thought it was a prank. The Walking Dead was my favourite show of all time! I sat reading the letter over and over again, looking at the date it was sent he said he will be in London this week and he gave me a UK number? Now I know this is a joke! I picked up my phone and dialled the number going to give the son of a b***h a piece of my mind for playing a lame ass prank. It was ringing... "Hello?" A voice I had never heard before answered. "Hi, I received a letter about my makeup work and it was offering me a job to work on my favourite TV show off all time and you should know that I don't know how you got my address but this is a lame ass prank, it's not funny so I don't know why you would think it was even remotely funny-" I was cut off by laughter this only made me madder! " it's not a prank Sage, my name is Frank Darabont and I am the creator of the walking dead and I want to meet you, I am in London right now. I'll be in Edinburgh train station in a few hours meet me there." And he hung up! I sighed and decided to get dressed for going to Edinburgh. I still thought this was a prank and thought about going to meet this low life in person! So I got dressed went downstairs and headed into Edinburgh for something to eat! *hours passed* My mobile started ringing and I answered "hello McDonald's how can I help?" "Hello? Sorry I must have the wrong number I'm looking to speak to Sage?" The voice replied. I chuckled "that's me! Is this the low life prankster?" The other line chuckled a little and replied with " sure why not? But I want a apology when you realise this isn't a prank now where the hell are you? I just got off the train and I can't see you? And do you seriously work in McDonald's?" I bursts out laughing "no I don't work. I'm unemployed at the moment, it's just a way I answer the phone and I'm sitting in KFC waiting on my crush'em. Want one? I'm about to order?" "I'll have a Oreo one and I'll be there in 5" and he hung up! "f**k" I mumbled under my breath and went and ordered. What if he's a murderer I thought and then rolled my eyes "as if I could be so lucky" I giggled. If he didn't show up I'd eat his crush'em! I got the order and stood outside KFC in Waverley station. When a man approached me, I slightly panicked as he asked me "Sage?" "Where she owes me money" I replied looking around. He chuckled an took his crush'em and went and found a seat. I followed closely behind this man who did in fact look like Frank! "Sorry" I mutter. He raised his eyebrow and looked at me "it's okay, you didn't apply I came to you so of course you thought it was a joke!" I half smiled "yeah so what do you want?" He smiled and then it faded " I've seen your work Sage, you're amazing! I need you on my team!" I looked shocked! "It's in Georgia! I'm from Scotland and you want me just to pack up and go. I'd have no where to stay and no way to get there. I don't have money for a flight or a apartment when I arrive!" I was almost upset thinking about being unemployed again. I sighed and he looked at me and replied with "it will all be payed for, but I need to know you will come and work before I make the arrangement. Will do you say Sage?" I thought hard about it and thought that this could be my escape from this place and everything that has happened in my past. "Okay you've got a deal!" I smiled as he smiled back at me! "Great I'll be in touch with the details but you need to go home and pack, you leave at the end of the week, I'll get someone to drop your ticket off at your house. I need to get back to London" an off he went while I sat there in shock! Minutes passed an my phone buzzed "what?" I snapped answering it annoyed. "Wow, what's wrong with you! Did I wake you? Sorry. But can I come round?" My bestfriend Mel's voice ring through the other end of the phone. " sorry Mel I'm not in, I'm in Edinburgh but heading home now, I'll phone you when I get back.." I got up and stormed off hanging up the phone. *50 minutes later* I got home and lay on my bed thinking about what had happened, I pulled my phone out my pocket to check the time '8pm' and I'm starving. I went downstairs where my mum had left my dinner in the microwave to be heated up. I sat down eat my dinner watching the walking dead still not believing the whole job thing.. Knock knock knock. My door went I looked at the time it was 11:30pm. "What the f**k?!" I said to myself and got up to go answer it. "What?" I opened the door and a man stood there a look of worry on his face "sorry to call late are you Sage Preston?" He asked looking at the envelope then to me. "Maybe" I replied with a smirk on my face. " i don't have time for this, and you match this photo I have, here's your picture and your plane ticket an passport and a letter from Frank." He shoved them to me them and walked off. "well thanks" I shouted back. I went upstairs opened it and looked at everything this was real! OMFG! I can't believe this was happening! I got my phone and called Mel and told her everything she was upset i was leaving but happy for me! I called it a night, I woke up early the next morning. Got up an dressed searching for a suitcase and packed all my things when my mum walked in my room "what the hell you doing?" She looked annoyed as usual. I looked at her rolling my eyes replying "ever heard of knocking? It's a thing. And I'm packing I'm going to Georgia I got a job!" I smiled. She glared at me then smiled back "well I'm happy for you and you'll finally be out my house. When do you leave?" "4am" I spoke as I continued to pack. My mum and I didn't have much of a relationship. I was more close with my dad! "Dad!!!" I screamed through the house he came running into my room and looked at me then my bags! He panicked "shh before you say anything read this letter." I handed him the letter and he read it silently then looked at me and hugged me tightly before telling me to go for it. It was now 12am, 4 hours until my flight, I was getting excited. *2hours later the time dragged on!* My cab showed up outside and honked the horn! My dad took my case down I said bye to my mum who just rolled her eyes and bye to my brothers before running down stairs I hugged my dad and said bye before jumping into the taxi. I got to the airport a hour before my flight so I could check in and go through security. This took 30 minutes and my flight started boarding! I sat down buckled my seatbelt listened to the workers on the plane before putting music on my headphones and I fell asleep listening to Marilyn Manson and some other rock bands.
