Broken Sonnet Chapter 5-8
Chapter 5
Will looked at the girl standing in the middle of the room. There was really nothing extraordinary about her but he had seen many people cower in front of Shane before, intimidated by her self-assured nature and intense gaze. This girl was an exception. For that reason alone, Will wanted her to be Shane’s assistant. Shane hadn’t always been like this. Will only knew that after breaking up with Cherie, she had thrown herself into an abyss, with no one able to rein her in.
“We’re looking for an assistant, Shane’s McCutcheon’s assistant and apparently, Shane wants you,” Carmen widened her eyes in surprise. “If you agree, I’ll tell your superior and you’ll be immediately relieved of your duties here. We’ll work out the details later if you’re willing,”
“I’m not going to work for Shane McCutcheon,” the girl replied in a curt tone. “Excuse me, I have other work waiting for me,” Will had already anticipated her rejection but then Shane always got what she wanted and Will was never one to give up this easily.
Carmen was painting her nails when she heard the doorbell ring. She peered through the door hole and sighed in frustration. She opened the door a crack and said, “Mr Jansen, I already told you my answer,” She liked Mr Jansen, there was something very persuasive and sincere about him, she just didn’t like Shane McCutcheon.
“I won’t take up much of your time. I’ll just let you listen to something”
“Ok 10 minutes,”
Mr Jansen placed a CD inside her hi-fi set and hit ‘play’. There was crackling in the background and the only accompaniment was the acoustic guitar. The sound was raw and yet it was as though it was stripped of all pretenses and the singer had laid bare her emotions for the listeners to see. There was something desperate in the voice, yet when she got to the chorus, it was brimming with hope and belief.
I know you didn’t
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
everything will be alright
If I see you
the storminess will turn to light
