Okay so this is a story about Rachel and Jon but keep in mind that they are not their characters from glee Rachel is Lea and Jon is Jon Groff aka Jesse from Glee but fan fiction forbids using real characters so I am using their Glee names this takes place during spring awakening Rachel/Lea is only 17 instead of 14 because she was 14 when they first started the workshops but it didn't come to Broadway for a few more years after that's why she's 17. And if anyone is wondering I am going to keep Jon gay because this is how I believe their friendship is and I don't want them dating in this story that would be weird.
I haven't seen any story like this on fan fiction so I thought I would be really cool to do this so please let me know what you think.
DISCLAIMER I don't own glee or spring awakening though if I did it would have never came off of Broadway.
Also I really did'nt know where to put this story if it shoul be in Spring Awakening or Glee and its not really a cross over so I am just going to put it in Glee if you feel its in the wrong catergory please tell me.
Rachel needed to find a job she needed to get back on stage she had to audition for things so far she has tried out for wicked but they said she was too young. She also auditioned for a few other shows but she didn't have any luck her last shot was today she was going to audition for a show Called Spring awakening. She left Les Mis a few months ago her run for that came to an end she loved that show but she really wanted to originate a role she wanted to be like Kristin or Idina she wanted to be known for something instead of hopping around to different shows.
The musical was about teens in Germany in 1892 learning about life and sex it was called Spring Awakening and auditions were the next day she was going to be singing on my own something that she knew was in her range and something she could sing well.
Rachel woke up ready to kill her audition and to finally achieve one of her dreams. She walked the busy streets of New York to the theater where the auditions were being held she was a little nervous but still calm she knew what she was doing and she knew that she had a good voice there was nothing wrong with being confident as long as you weren't cocky.
She was waiting in a room with about 10 other people and she waited about an hour before her name was called "Rachel Berry" she got up and walked with confidence into the room. She handed her sheet music to the pianist and waited for him to start she was auditioning for a character named Wendla.
She started to sing the song and the three people at the table just looked at her with awe "She's good" she heard one of the men say.
By the end of the song she had the three men in tears.
Rachel began to walk out "wait" Rachel turned around to see what they wanted "we just want to see if you can sing pop"
Rachel gave them a confused look "Um okay" Rachel began thinking of what to sing.
She began to sing a Brittney Spears song and began to get nervous this was not her cup of tea she didn't really sing pop but she was willing to fight for this role so she focused and sung the song with ease.
"Okay thank you we will let you know if you got the role by tomorrow the auditions for your character ended today so you should know relatively fast.
Rachel walked back to her apartment she lived on the upper west side with her mom she was still young she was only 17. "Hey mom"
"Hey Rach how did it go?"
"I think it went pretty good they seemed to like me I really want this role"
"Well that's good"
"Yeah I'm going to go take a nap I'm pretty tired so I am going to go take a nap"
Rachel walked into her room and collapsed onto her bed.
About 3 hours later Rachel was awoken by a faint buzzing sound then it hit her it was her phone she picked it up immediately "hello"
"Hi is this Rachel Berry?"
"Yes" Rachel said hoping it would be the directors of Spring Awakening.
"Hi we would like to offer you the role in Spring Awakening would you like to be our Wendla?"
"YES OH MY THANK YOU SO MUCH" Rachel said with a ton of energy.
"Okay are you able to come tomorrow to read with some of the Melchior call backs we need to see the chemistry that you have with them; you're going to need to be comfortable with them for the more sexual scenes
"Yes sure of course same theater?"
"Yes we will see you then Rachel"
Rachel ran out into her living room where her mother and Father were "I got the role I got the role I'm going to be back on Broadway again"
"That's great Rach" said her mother hugging her.
"Were so proud of you" said her father"
"I have to go in and do some readings for the male character that will play opposite of me to make sure they cast someone that has chemistry with me.
The rest of the song was spent learning the song that she needed it was titled those you've known.
Rachel woke up with lots of excitement much like the day before she missed being on Broadway she breathed Broadway it was her life.
She walked into the theater with a sense of accomplishment and thankful that she scored the lead role.
She walked into the room where the directors were "Okay Rachel we're going to bring different people who got a call back and see how you do you have your lines and the song with you right?"
"Yep"
Rachel walked into the room to see a man already in their ready to read lines with "hi my names Rachel"
"I'm mark"
"So is it true that there is a sex scene in this play and it's with you?"
"Yes and if you are implying that you want to have sex with me then you're just repulsive"
"Can't help it babe I have eyes and you are very hot"
The audition didn't go too bad for him but they didn't have chemistry and Rachel knew why she saw him as a disgusting pig and she could never share the stage with someone like that it didn't help that the scene that they were practicing was a scene in which her character asked the male character to hit her.
Rachel was on her 5th audition and she didn't see herself on stage with anyone.
"Okay Rachel we have one more guy coming in before we are going to take a lunch break.
A tall man with messy brown hair and hazel eyes came in he also had a lopsided grin "hi I am Finn"
"Rachel"
Out of all the guys he was the only one she kind of liked the chemistry was there but she hoped that a better person came not that he wasn't good he just want the person he pictured for the role.
Rachel walked out into the main lobby where all the people who got call backs were being held.
Rachel began to walk she saw all the guys waiting to have their call back she went to walk out of the building when she tripped over a guy's foot that was sitting up against the wall. "Oh my I am so sorry" the man said. He had curly brown hair and blue eyes he was very cute.
"It's fine I wasn't paying attention are you auditioning for Melchior?"
"Yes"
"Then I guess we will be seeing each other I'm playing Wendla"
"Oh cool"
There was something about this man that Rachel liked he was the first one she could actually see up on stage with her.
"Hey were on a lunch break would you like to join me?"
"Sure I'm Jon by the way"
"I'm Rachel"
They went to a deli Jon got a sub and Rachel got a vegetarian soup.
"So tell me about yourself"
"Well I am 17 and I love to sing and really want this part. Oh and I'm gay I just thought I would tell you"
"Well I want you to get this part too all of the other people auditioning haven't been right for the part or a jerk." Rachel thought to herself she has always wanted a guy best friend and this would be perfect he was gay which Rachel had no problem with.
"Thanks I'll try"
"No you like have to get the part I actually like you"
"Thanks I like you too"
Wow she is intense thought Jon; but he liked it.
They walked back to the theater talking about projects they have been in it was a shock they haven't met before
"I have to get back in there but good luck and I'll see you when you come in"
Rachel read and sang with 4 more people until Jon finally came in he was the last one to audition she hoped he could act and sing.
"Hey" said Rachel
"Hey Rachel"
"You two know each other?"
"Yes we met earlier in the lobby"
"Okay go ahead and start with the dialogue"
Rachel gave him a thumbs up she really liked this kid and prayed he would do good.
Rachel started with Wendla's lines
Wendla:
I've never been beaten, Melchior, not once. I can't imagine how it would feel. I've tried beating myself, but it's not... It must be a horrifying feeling.
Jon got ready to say his first line
Melchior:
I don't believe children can ever be improved by it.
Wendla:
By what?
Rachel and Jesse were getting lost in the lines putting a ton of passion into this she was trying to put more into this for Jon she wanted to do her very best read through with him so he could get the part.
Melchior:
Being beaten.
Wendla:
Like with this stick? So tough, but thin.
Melchior:
That would draw blood.
Wendla:
Would you – would you hit me with it? Just once?
Melchior:
Hit you?
Wendla:
Yes. Now.
Melchior:
What's gotten into you, Wendla?
Wendla:
What's wrong?
Melchior:
I'm not going to hit you, Wendla.
They kept up with their lines it was like no one else was in the room. They did the whole beating scene Rachel even working up some tears. There was no doubt about it they had some serious chemistry.
They moved to the song next which was amazing Rachel has never given so much into a song and it was an amazing feeling and she didn't think she could feel it with anyone but Jon.
"Okay that was great guys thank you Jon we will let you know by tomorrow"
"Bye Jon" Rachel said giving him a hug "you did great" She said whispering into his ear. It was official she wanted to be this guy's best friend even if he wasn't in the show.
"Are you able to come in tomorrow for a full cast reading were calling all the others tonight to tell them they got the roles we will be also discussing a rehearsal schedule and your pay."
"Okay that's fine" tomorrow was Saturday and she didn't have school even thought she was home schooled that would mean when the show got started she would have to go back to learning in between shows and practices.
Rachel went to bed that night hoping she would see Jon the next day.
Rachel was walking into the theater they had a meeting all together first to talk about when the show would have its workshops and the practices.
Rachel looked around to see if Jon was there but she didn't see him. "God I hope none of the others got his part I hope he is just running late" thought Rachel.
Just then a door opened and in walked a curly haired blue eyed man "Jon" she squealed running and jumping into his arms. "Sorry I am just so happy that you are here and that you got the part"
"Thanks Rachel and its fine I like it" he really liked this Rachel girl she was refreshing he couldn't remember the last time that someone wanted to be his friend.
They went and sat down together waiting for the meeting to start.
"Okay so congrats on getting your parts you will all do amazing and I can't wait to start working with each of you. Our first workshop is in one month so we have to get the show together by then and it has to be performable but I know you all can do it. After that we have one more workshop and then we have a preview night and if all goes well on that night, opening night should be about one month after that." Said the lead director his name was Michael Mayer he was in his later 40s and he had dark curly hair and glasses, Rachel really liked him he was the one who said Rachel had a good voice during her first audition.
"So let's get started with the show run through were just going to do lines for now and you will each get schedules about voice rehearsals."
The rest of the afternoon went well her and Jon had some good chemistry and went well together she also had some lines with a character named Thea and she would have to go introduce herself to her.
Rachel went home and highlighted all of her lines in her script book and well as put it in binder and laminate on each page she would need to have this book for a while and wanted to take care of it after all if this musical went well it would be worth a lot of money some day.
Rachel went to bed that night knowing that she was going to get to do what she loved again she really truly couldn't wait till she got to know everyone in the cast as well as become close with Jon she didn't have many friends most were jealous that she was a professional when she did go to school so she was looking forward to gaining some friends.
Okay so let me know what you think I really am excited for this story. I am in love with Jon and Lea's friendship and I know this is not exactly what happened but it's my take on it so please constructive criticism only please.
