PRODUCER/DIRECTOR

      

Alicia sighs heavily, on remembering what today is in the family of the Williams. Today is friday, an every Friday evening. The williams family comes together to have a big dinner. She hates it!.

She hates to dress up, sit on the stupid dinning table, and try to get along with the rest of her family members. 

The dinner, would always turn out to be the most boring and irritating dinner ever. And every dinner is always worst than the last one.

She would need to get out of the house for awhile. Breathe in some fresh air, a lot of fresh air, that would keep her sanity during the dinner.

She out on her jacket and her guitar, then walked out of her room. Without saying a word to anyone, she left the house.

Alicia went to her favorite place, which is deep in the forest. She had build herself a tent, on one of the family trip to the forest. And ever since that day, the tent has been her everything. She smiled sadly, remembering how closed the family was back then. 

Her father wasn't this grumpy, and he always did pay attention to whatever his kids needs. Her mother wasn't blackmailed, by money back then. So her mother always stood by them, and their decision.

Maybe they shouldn't have all grown up from that little kid, they all well. Maybe if they didn't grow up, then the adults wouldn't have become like this. 

She missed those times, when she always looked forward to spending time with her family. She missed those days, when she always looked forward for family trip.

It's sad that whenever, there's a family trip or a family get together. Things are always so awkward on the table. Everybody to their own thoughts, no one letting the other in his/her thoughts.

Alicia exhaled heavily, crouching down infront of her tenth. She brings out her guitar, from the bag. Wear the guitar, and then starts to play.

🎼You say you hate me, then you say you love me too 🎼

🎼Please baby, can you make up your mind🎼

🎼You say you want me, then you say you don't 🎼

🎼Ohh baby, I don't understand anymore 🎼.

🎼You said you need me, then you said you don't anymore 🎼.

🎼Ohh baby please, can you tell me what you want 🎼.

🎼 I'm getting confused, with your different sides🎼.

🎼Today you are cold, and the next you are warm🎼.

🎼What do I make of this, what do I get from this🎼.

🎼Ohh have tried, but still can't put a tag on this🎼.

🎼Baby tell me now, if you love it not🎼.

🎼 Would you stop getting me confused🎼.

Alicia sighs, and then out her guitar down. She wished she was infront if a stage at this moment, playing her guitar and singing at the same time. The audience would clap their hands, and listen to her play. This only happens in her dreams, a d nowhere else.

"Wow, wow, wow." A voice exclaims, clapping their hands vigorously. Alicia turned to see who it was, and it's no other person but a man, that she did not know. A complete stranger, to be exact.

"That was the best lyrics I have ever listened to. And your voice, your voice is so melodious." The man utters, still clapping his hands.

"Uhm, thank you. But do I know you?." She questions confused. 

"No you don't, but I will tell you who I am. My name is Eric, Eric Davis. I don't know if you have heard of soul sounds." Why those the name *Eric Davis* rings a bell in my head. Alicia thinks.

Her eyes glints, the word *soul sounds* resounding her ear. Of course, she knows about that company, who wouldn't know?. 

"From the look on your face, I can tell you are very well aware of that company. Well I'm the founder of that company." Eric Davis said. Alicia eyes opens wide, staring at the man before her.  Now she knows why that particular name, did ring a bell in her head.

"Wow, I can't believe I'm in the presence of legend. The best director/slashed producer, the world has ever seen. Oh my goodness, this is such a pleasure sir." Alicia utters, her eyes glinting in happiness.

"No, it's my pleasure to meet such an astounding beholder of musical talent." Mr Eric said to her, his tongue coated in complete flattery. Alicia blushed, at what the man said. Her cheeks getting redder than a tomato.

"I don't think I'm that good yet." Alicia responded shyly, her staring at the ground. What is it with her, she wondered. Why is she behaving all shy, just on seeing this man. Is this what they call love at first sight?. She asked herself, butterfly arising in her stomach.

"Finally, she comes back home." Mr Williams announced, as a happy Alicia walls into the house.

"You don't have to announce my arrival, dear father. But anyways thanks for doing so." Alicia smiles at the man, and then head straight for the stairs. Pretending not to see, her whole family in the living room.

"Alicia, you would come back here and show some respect, to your brothers and sister." Mr Williams bellowed.

"Sorry dear father, but I can't do that. You see, I just have an amazing time outside of this house, so I won't let you, or any of my family member, spoil my mood. You can all have a nice family dinner, but I'm afraid I would have to decline joining you all in this particular family dinner. Have a nice evening." Alicia concluded, and then climbs up the stairs, and head straight for her room.

"No! This is the last of it. This is the last of, what I can take!. She is leaving my house, today and I don't care where she goes, but she's leaving my house." Mr Williams growls, standing up from the couch.

"Honey calm down. I will go bring her down for dinner, you don't have to get angry. I will go get her down." Martha said, standing up. 

Her husband glared at her, "If she refused to come down. Then make sure you let her know, that I would disown her." 

Mrs Martha nods her head, and then head straight for her daughter room.

She opens her daughter door, only to find Alicia packing her clothes. "What are you doing Alicia." Mrs Martha exclaims, rushing over to her daughter.

"What do you think I'm doing. I over heard the big bad wolf saying, that if I choose not to come down for dinner, then he will disown me. I think he has use that a lot to threaten me. I guess it's high time, I let him know. That his threat means nothing to me, neitheer does his last name mean anything to me." Alicia zipper her bag, then carried it up. She walked past her bewildered mother, and left the room.

"Alicia, you can't take a drastic step like this. You don't know what's like leaving out there. You should go apologise to your father, and behave like a good child." Martha cries out, rushing after her daughter.

"Well.. guess what mother. I'm not a good child. I am not an obedient child, I can never be one." Alicia says to her mother, climbing down the stairs.

"What is the meaning of this Alicia. Yiu think the life outside is so good and easy. Is that what you think. Well go on, go on outside and explore it. But just make sure, whenever you realize your mistake. Make sure you are ready to go down on your knees and beg me for mercy." Her father voiced thundered.

Alicia chuckles, "I would rather die than to come beg you, dear father. So don't even look forward it. Well.. have a nice life family, and you three continuing being the obedient kids that you all are. And mother, continue being the silent wife. Peace family." Alicia grind at her family, raised her shoulders high, turned around and catwalked out of the house.
