Adam and Grace Fanfic
It was the day of The Voice season 4 auditions, Grace was singing The Writer by Ellie Goulding. It was her first big audition for anything, usually her singing was limited to her bedroom.
She was getting ready in her room, she decided on her favourite pair of black skinny jeans and a flowing pink top. She chose her favourite heart necklace and her old pair of worn and faded cowboy boots, and grabbed her bag and left.
She was driving on the way to the studios and as she turned on the radio, Payphone by Maroon 5 came on. She loved this song and it slowly turned into a realisation that she was auditioning in front of this amazing singer today. As well as Blake Shelton who she loved just as much! She wasn't a country singer, but a massive country fan and being from Augusta, Georgia she grew up listening to the likes of Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton.
She was 26 years old, and today was the first time in her life she ever felt she was ready to put herself first and go after her dreams. She'd been taking the responsibility of her family for years, her dad was a drunk and her mum was depressed. Her sister was just pure lazy so it all fell on her, since she was 12 she'd been working jobs just to bring in enough money to get by. Hopefully things would change and she could get away from all this pain because even now, she felt responsible for her parents actions because they still couldn't put enough money together for a slice of pizza.
She pulled into the studio car park and found the entrance she had to go in. She met with producers and sorted out the time she had to go on. She then had an interview with Carson, she explained a bit of her backstory, her family, where she was from, what job she had now, she was an accountant, she was very good at her job, but there was an aching pain for something more, a singing career. It was what she'd wanted since she was 8 years old.
She left the interview room and walked to the stage door. She waited for the camera signal that she could go and then her legs somehow took her to the stage, she was all dazed and dreamy and couldn't believe this was happening. The music started and she sang the opening line.
You wait for a silence, I wait for a word, lie next to your frame, girl unobserved.
Blake and Adam both turned around immediately. She almost froze there and then but she knew she had to carry on.
You changed your position, you are changing me, casting these shadows where they shouldn't be.
Cee-Lo and Christina turned around then, the smile on her face was beaming so wide she could feel her face aching. She toned it down so she didn't look crazy and finished the song.
Once she had finished, Blake went first.
"Hey girl, what's your name?"
"I'm Grace Stevens, it's an honour to meet y'all,"
"Y'all huh? Loving that country twang you got there!"
"Haha yes I'm from Augusta Georgia"
"Well I think we'd work well together, I think your voice is amazing and I'd love to hear you do some country, it seems like it would come naturally to you!"
"Thanks so much Blake, that means a lot, you and Miranda are two of my favourite singers and I love country music!"
Christina went next, she was all loud and sassy and said some really nice things, but she wasn't paying her full 100% attention because everything Blake had just said was just spinning around in her mind
Cee - Lo's first words were -
"Dayum girl, you sexy!"
She blushed and giggled, Adam was smiling at her and her heart melted, that man was beautiful.
Adam was up next
"Wow Grace, you have such a beautiful powerful voice, it really took me by surprise. I know you're a southern girl and you love Blake, but I'd be honoured to have you on my team!"
"Oh wow thank you so much Adam! And true I love Blake, but I love your music too, I love all of your guys music! Okay, my choice is…"
A/N - Please review and give me feedback! This is the first fanfic I've posted and I'm loving the idea of Adam and a contestant relationship. More chapters to come!
