The Show Must Go Onby JaredHave you ever tasted bitterness? I have and I am right at this moment. I hateit. They yelled at me to “Get off the stage,”. So they shuffled me off the stageand another girl came out. I stayed to watch her. She had such full hair and apretty face. Her singing was even better than her looks. I decided to leave. Iexited the room and came to turn to Chrissie, my best friend. She helps meget parts in plays and movies. We know each other well and she can read melike a book. She ran over and hugged me. Then she said, “Don’t worry, I’ll findyou another part,” just like the last 4 times. I wanted to say something, but Icouldn’t find the words. It was raining, just started. A light breeze flew around.I walked with Chrissie down to our apartment. She was on her phone lookingfor new parts for me. The rain was trickling down the sides of our umbrella.Before I knew it we were home. The dusty, old and creaky, so very creakyapartment building. “May I help you?” Said the woman at the front desk. Shehad bags under her eyes. I’m exhausted as well. I ignore her and go up thestairs. Chrissie follows. We go up the creaky wooden staircase. I began tostumble. Then we enter room 14, our room.Then I woke up. I was on the couch with a blanket around me and breakfastnext to me. I could hear Chrissie humming as she brushed her curly, brownhair. I had a massive headache, my head was throbbing. I got up, ate mybreakfast of eggs with gooey cheese, and some toast with a sweet strawberryjam. I need to go change out of these clothes. I remember yesterday, and whyI wore this. I practically run to my closet and change into some jeans and a t-shirt. I threw what I wearing in my tiny trash can. I’m sure I’ll get them later. Igo say hi to Chrissie. “Hey, Chrissie,”. “Finally you’re up Sam!” she exclaims. “Ifound another part! It’s for a horror film and you’re going to be one of themain characters!” I fill will glee and begin to smile. I begin to do my morningroutine and head to the studio. No time for a coat! Chrissie runs after me andgrabs my wrist. Without saying a word she hands me my shoes and coat. Afterthat, I walk instead. Then we enter the studio and I rush toward the door. Iopen it and gasp. The set is huge and everything is so realistic. I see my coactor,Jack. I began to think that Jack is in this film too! A few others are thereas well. I say an awkward hello to everyone and go on stage. I act my heartout. In the end, I got the part.
