Apocalypse

Chapter 1

          

The young singer stood , setting his microphone before performing his song which he worked on writing for about two months..

The bar seemed calm.. those early hours of the night always seems calm.. There stood that madly in love couple on the dance floor , dancing without music.

The always smiling bartender offering the customers their orders.

//You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust.. Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above//

She then entered quietly and went straight to the bar.. didn't speak to anyone , didn't wait for anyone.. she sat to the bar completely silent.. seems she doesn't know anyone and definitely not waiting for anyone..

//Got the music in you baby, Tell me why.. Got the music in you baby, Tell me why//

- May I take your order ?

She didn't notice him.. her eyes were fixed on that young man singing.. the dancing couple and all those people there..

- Hey !

= Yes ?!

- May I take your order ?

= Oh , anything , ok , anything .. * I really don't care , I just don't want to talk to anyone *

- Here..

He put that drink she doesn't know in front of her but she drank it with one shot, although it doesn't seem of the kind that can be drank with one shot.. which seemed on the face of the handsome bartender.

= Another one.. can I have another one , please ?

- Sure , here..

He put the little glass in front of her which she drank the same way like the one before.

//Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms.. You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark//

He asked her one more time if she wants anything else but she didn't pay attention to him.. she remained stray with the sound of music so he put the third glass in front of her without saying anything.. she noticed and thanked him and drank it the same way again.

He kept looking at her , wide-eyed of the scene.. she doesn't talk at all.. well , that seems usual but the unusual at all is her drinking three shots of vodka in that way she did without even noticing its bitterness ! what's this strength ? is she used to it that way or what ?! she kept her eyes fixed on that singer.. what is it then ?!.. but he put her fourth glass in front of her quietly and she drank it the same way..

//Got the music in you baby, Tell me why.. Got the music in you baby, Tell me why.. You've been locked in here forever & you just can't say goodbye.. Your lips, My lips, Apocalypse..//

- Anything else ?

= What ? no no , I'm leaving , how much is this ?

- 25$

= Here

She stood carring her hand bag and taking her way out..

- They'll be here tomorrow too !

= Ha ?

- The band.. the band will be here tomorrow

= Oh.. ok , thanks

She thanked him and continued on her way out.. she doesn't know what to say, is she really interested or not.. he nodded greeting her, he doesn't know what to say either.. what he knows is that he wants to see her again.
