Hailey Anderson

I asked my dad if I can bring my piano to my apartment and he said of course. I started to play piano again , playing random things according to my mood and heart.

I keep playing piano and I worked at night at Troy's gym , As you know I already fired from Formon's and I resign from Janet's team. I'm crazy with my piano again , I can play 5 hours a day , until I even forgot to eat breakfast and lunch.

I don't know why I'm so down because of this stupid thing. Never in my life I cried because a guy broke my heart. Luke came around and make that happen. These days I'm not feeling good as well , yesterday I puke a few times.

"Hey" I opened the door and saw Janet , I hugged her briefly and let her in.

"Hailey are you okay?" She asked and I nodded

"I'm fine.. I'm sorry about the incident a week ago , I lose control" I said and feel sorry. She smiled

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Luke hates me.. he doesn't want me to appear in front of his face again. He threw the food that I brought him in front of my face and just want me not to come to him again. He even makes a no entry sign with my name on it" I sighed and Janet hold my hand

"He's a jerk"

"I know.. It keeps making me down each day , I mean I was so heart broken and never thought this situation will make me doing stupid things"

"Heyhey.. you're beautiful and maybe he doesn't deserve you and you deserve someone better" She patted my shoulder

"I need to drink.. a lot" I said and lean my back to the sofa

"Hailey.. do you want me to introduce you to my brother?" I turned to her

"What? Janet.. I-"

"He's in New York today , I mean he's a fun guy maybe you can hangout with him"

"Uh?"

"Wait" She took out her phone and dial someone. I closed my eyes for amoment.

"Mark.. where are you? Okay.. can you come to my place? No not my house , I'll text you the adress. Come here.. just take one of Sky's car. No he won't get mad.. just take it and come here" She said and ended the call. She asked for my address and I gave her

"Hailey"

"Uh?" I turned to her

"You play piano?" She asked as she saw my piano and I nodded. She clapped her hands suddenly I looked at her confuse

"What?"

"My highschool friend has a charity event for african kids who needs help with nutrition. There's an auction too , do you want to join? Luke will be ther- Hail- oh shit.. I didn't mean to-" She said awkwardly and I just smiled

"It's okay to mention his name"

"Uhmm sorry.. I don't think that's a good idea though"

"Hey it will be a great idea.. I can play piano there and entertain the guess" I smiled and her eyes widen

"Really? Like really?" She asked

"Yes Janet.. Count me in to the auction too" I said and her eyes widen more

"Hailey.. are you serious? Like seriously? I mean.. Luke will be there and-"

"I need to get over him , it's fine" I smiled , suddenly her phone rings.

"Mark?! You already here?! Go to the 12th floor and go to the 1204" She said and I quickly take out a glasses and fill it with orange juice. Giving one to Janet and one for his brother

"When will the auction take place?" I asked

"Thanks. Uhmm next week I think.. I'll call her tonight and she will be so happy if you can perform there" I smiled as she squealed

"I'll just perform 2 songs" I said when suddenly someone knocks the door. I think that's Janet's brother. I opened the door

"Mark.. this is Hailey , Hailey this is Mark my brother" Janet introduced us

"Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too , please come on" I smiled and gestured him to go inside. We talked and I found out that he's still studying to be a doctor and that's really cool for me. He's 1 year below me so he's cool

We found out that we both really like classic musics and there's a concert this Thursday and he asked me if I want to go with him. Of course I said yes and it's been a while since I enjoy doing fun things.

"I have to go first.. there's something wrong at the office" Janet said and I hugged her before she leaves. Mark hugged her sister but he's still going to stay here and talk with me a little bit more

"I bet you're really good playing that" Mark pointed at my piano

"I played that since I was 5"

"Say what?!" I chuckled as he say that , he looked at me disbelief

"That's really cool , I wish I can play music instruments" He said

"I can teach you.. until when will you stay in New York?" I asked as he sipped the orange juice

"2 weeks left" He said and I nodded

"I can teach you piano.. I mean if you want too not th-"

"I would love too! But please.. be gentle and don't scold me" He joked and I laughed

"Well.. I'll try to be patient but no promises Mark"

"Since I'm on vacation , I'll match my time with yours.. When is your free time?" He asked

"I can teach you at 10 - 12.. how's that?" I asked and he gave me a thumbs up

"Deal"

"Okay Marky"

"Okay Ailey"

"Ailey?" I asked

"You gave me nickname and I give yours" He smirked and I laughed

Mark is a really easy going person and he's just really fun guy. I never thought I will make friends this fast. He's just really kind and funny , he jokes a lot and sometimes saying sarcastic comments.

Thanks Janet.. for introducing your brother to me..

Mark Stanmore is sure quite unique..
