Prologue.
Clary POV
Broadway, that was all I could think about ever since I got the call last week saying that they wanted me to play the role of Elphaba on Broadway's New Show Wicked. I was leaving a week before my Junior year in High School, and I was kind of annoyed that I would be missing school but on the plus side I would be completing my final 2 years of high school while over in New York.
We were at the airport waiting for my flight to start boarding. I can't believe it! I am actually going to New York and getting out of this crappy London Town called Idris to be performing in Wicked. I was so exited I couldn't sit still. "Don't worry mum, I will be fine and I'll call you as much as possible" I say through my lisp due to my braces while I push my glasses back up my face. She is here with Jace and Jon. Jace is John's best friend and he is like a brother to me.
"I love you so much and remember to have fun" Mum told me. I look at by brother who looks sad to see me leaving. "How long till your flight" he said in a way that sounded like he really didn't want to see me off. I look into his pure black eyes and I knew he would never admit it but he is going to miss me. I say very calmly "Soon"
I turn to Jace, and look at his golden eyes, who is standing to the side of Jon "Have fun and break a leg out there, Red" I just smile ignoring his stupid nickname. Then I give a hug to everyone before I start to cry in the airport because I don't know when I am going to see him again.
I hear them call for my fight. I pick up my bags and walk towards the gate, glancing over my shoulder to get one last look at my family before I go. I smile and walk on the plane.
The last thing I see before heading on the plane was a pair of Golden eyes looking straight at me.
3 years later
Clary POV
I got back from New York about an hour ago, I didn't tell my family because I wanted to surprise them. I took a cab back to my house. I am really exited to see them. I looked out the window with my big black sunglasses on. The last time I saw them, they were watching me in Wicked. They came over for 3 days to surprise me. When I look out the window I see that the cab has pulled up in front of my house. I hop out straighten out my clothes. I am wearing white skinny ripped jeans with a light pink off the shoulder blouse and my black leather jacket. I put my vibrant red hair in a messy bun. I take my bags to the front door. I can hear noise inside so I know their home. I ring the door bell and wait. I can hear footsteps coming closer to me.
When the door is open I am greeted with Jon. "Hi" I say and he just looks at me and says "Sorry, but now is not a great time and we don't need anything you are selling so, bye." He goes to close the door but I stop him and walk inside. I am not surprised that he said that, what surprised me more was that he didn't recognise me.
"Hey what are you doing, you can't come in" John said almost shouting.
"Who's at the door?" I turn in the direction of the voice and I am met with a pair of Golden eyes.
"No one important, just some random chick who barged inside". Jon reply's. By this time Jace is now standing next to Jon. Jace looks me up and down and smirks. "well, well, well. If it isn't Strawberry Shortcake". I just glare at him. "I'm impressed; John how can you not recognise your own sister".
"What do you mean Jace, Clary is in New York and besides this girl looks …" John looks from Jace to me and back to Jace then Back to me. I just smile. "How is it even possible? Where are your Braces and Glasses! You looked like a complete nerd and now…" John was lost for words. "There is a thing called Contacts John, and with my Braces I didn't need them anymore so I got them off." Jace just chuckles and I push past them both and head towards the Kitchen where I can smell my mum's cooking. Agh how I missed it, it smells and looks amazing. Don't get me wrong New York food is a great, but what could be better than a home cooked meal from your mum.
"Hi mum" I say and my mum almost drops the plate when she looks at me. I can tell she missed me and "Clary!?" She just runs over and gives me the biggest hug she ever has given. We pull apart and she is crying now. "when did you get back? Why didn't you call? How did you get here?" she asked frantically.
"Geez mum, one question at a time" John and Jace enter the kitchen. "I got back today and I wanted to surprise you so I caught a cab here". My mum just nods, but I can tell by the look in her eyes that she is glad that I am back.
"So Clary, why are you back exactly?" Jon asked curiously, I can tell that everyone wants to know.
"I was talking with Jordan and we both agreed that I needed a break due, and besides I need to have a rest from performing twice a day for three years". I say.
My mum just nods, however both Jace and Jon look very confused. "Who is Jordan" the boys say at the exact same time. I just laugh at them both "My manager" Jon looks taken aback "Since when did you need a manager?"
"Oh I don't know, maybe from when I almost won a tony award for my performance!" I retort sarcastically, even though deep down I was still sad that I lost.
I walk to my room with my bag and it looks just the same as I last left it. My double bed in the corner of the room. My guitar, keyboard and recording equipment by the other wall and I have my desk by my music things. I dump my bag on the floor and collapse on my bed and go to sleep.
A Week Later
I hear my phone ringing. I see that it's form Jordan so I pick it up.
"Hey Clare. I hope you have settled back home" he said.
"Yeah, John didn't recognise me when I got home though." I could hear him laughing on the other end "Why are you calling by the way?" I asked slightly confused.
"Yeah um, so you know how there was talk about bringing Les Miserable to Idris?" he said
"Of Course, you keep reminding me every second conversation we are have." I heard him chuckle.
"Anyway, I think you should audition." I shrieked a bit because I could hear Jordan laughing. "I take it you want to try for one of the roles?"
"Are you kidding, when are they and where?"
"Well they are in two days at Idris Performing Arts Centre at noon"
"WHAT!" I shouted, without realising that Jace and Jon opened the door. I was pacing in my room for who knows how long while Jordan was telling me everything that I needed to know and what I had to sign.
I sighed. "Next time please give me more than a two day's warning."
"Okay, I will contact them and tell them and let them know to expect you." He said then hung up.
"What was that all about" I heard Jace ask "nothing" i said while i set my equipment up and start rehearsing because this audition need to be perfect. Once the boys realised that I wasn't going to talk to them any time soon they left the room. After they left I called by Isabelle. She picked up after the third ring.
"Hello, I'm a bit busy at the moment so can you make this quick" She said
"I know, but you will never guess what Jordan just told me"
"That Les Miserable will be holding auditions in Idris Performing Arts Centre"
"What?! How did you even know?"
"Oh honey, I was in the room when Jordan was telling you over the phone" she said.
"Anyway, how is everyone back in New York?" I asked curiously, I hadn't seen anyone for over a week and a lot can happen in a week if you're in New York.
"Sorry Clary I have to go now but I will speak to you as soon as I can." And she just hung up before I could even say bye.
Several Hours Later.
I was still in my room and I have been rehearsing for over an hour to get this song perfect for the audition. I placed my fingers over the keyboard and started to play and then started singing:
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed, that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed
"That was amazing!"
I turn my head in the direction of the voice and I see the least expected person standing in my doorway.
So, i hope you enjoyed this chapter.
