Chapter Three

I throw a book on the table next to my script. Alice and the Gravedigger. Weird title I know but it was popular. It’s been months since the downfall of my love life. I flip through the script and think about my life. Oh well.

The doorbell rings. I get up and answer.

There she is. Someone to make me happier.

“Hi Jess.”

“Hello John, I’m sorry I’m late.” She shyly brushes her brown long locks of hair from her eyes.

“It’s fine.” I smile.

This story is about a young teenage girl named Kira. Her sisters, the little one, Mireya and older one Jasmine. Mother, Michelle and father, Richard created her.

 

White porcelain skin with medium length dirty blonde hair. Many would be surprised that she thought those looks were her biggest flaws. They weren’t.

But any flaw she may have thought she had could be covered up by her strengths. Her always great voice of reason. Her nature ability to sing was stunning. Adding to a strange ability to dance gracefully. With all of those skills, the big dreams of stardom and glory filled her mind. So she wanted to leave her small town, and escape to the bigger city to see if she would make it.

When she grew up in her house, she had the thoughts that she was useless, but soon in time, she would learn to think differently. She thought she had no place in this world but after hard work and some skill, she began to forge the frameworks of her life.

First major event in Kira’s young life was probably will be the worst in her whole life. At a very young year she attempted to commit suicide. She hated her life with a passion. She had been cutting herself for a while before she try to take her life.

 That day start with freshly made slits on her wrist. She was wearing her hair in a tight ponytail with plaid pajama pants and a yellow spaghetti strap. She sat there in her thoughts of not self-worth and inability to help herself.

 Lucky for her the graceful hand of God saved her. She was a very religious person beforehand but from that day was cemented it. She saw crosses everywhere she went. And in the end, she was unsuccessful in ending her life.

She started in with her dreams again. To live with her two best friends Sarah and Paige. They had it all planned out for years. She wanted to have a horse to ride. And she wanted to live in a quiet place, with no houses in sight, have about three kids and all from a Disney-like romance.

After a year of dreaming, it became a reality. She moved out of the house and to the big city. She got an apartment but lived there alone. It was pretty s****y but it was a start.
           

She moved to the city where her “brother” was living.  They weren’t blood related but they still felt like family. He was the one she would credit for helping her to not cut anymore. She owed him everything.

She needed to know one person in his place. Plus he was in the process of trying to get his book into a movie. Maybe there was a part in it for her. She hoped. The book was pretty good and sold fairly well. The movie production was going to start, casting and hopefully ending with tons of money for all.

She was there for week before she went to meet her brother. She took the horrible city bus to his place. She walks up to the fourth floor of the building. She knocks on the door of the 21^st unit.

KNOCK KNOCK.

Her brother answers the door.

“Hey Kira, I didn’t expect you this soon.”

“Hey, sorry I meant to call but I still don’t have a phone.” She wraps her arms around him for a big hug, “I have wanted to hug you for so long.”

“Me too. I’m really glad you are here. But sadly I’m on my way out. Can we talk later?”

“Oh.” Kira frowns, “I’m sorry I should have called or warned you.”

He frowns, “It’s fine, sorry it’s my fault. But hey, go to the casting party tonight, and see the rest of the people.”

Kira’s frown gets bigger, “Awe, you casted all the parts?”

“Yeah,” He walks pass her and closes the door behind him, “You have to go, my lovely Eve.”

Kira’s face turns to shock, “I’m going to be in it and be Eve?” Eve was the daughter of one of the main characters and was probably the fourth important women role in the movie. Though her scenes would be few but important.

“Yes,” He leans back and kisses her forehead, “now do enjoy yourself, little sister.”

Kira stands there with a big smile on her face as her brother walks down the hallway.

She is as happy as a peach. She walks down the hallway and accidently bumps into a man along the way.

“Sorry sir. I wasn’t paying attention.”

He walks by silent without stopping. He is dressed head to toe covered in black clothes.
