I was waiting for school to get out. My leg began to shake as the second hand on the clock seemed to move slower. I'm usually not so anxious for school to end, but I have a chance of a lifetime today. I had somehow talked Gustavo Rocque into giving me an audition to be signed to his label. That and that alone was enough to rattle my nerves.
My heart had been pounding sporadically through out the day; every time I remembered the chance I have actually. The simple thought that this could be it was making my head spin. I have been everywhere else I could think of to possibly get a chance of getting out there.
When I was back home in Illinois I had a class, a drama class, which really put everything about my imagination, opinions, and experiences into perspective. I had got to know what it's like to have people love what I had to say, what I had been through, how I could use my words to paint a picture. I found that the easiest way to do it was through music and quickly became obsessed.
My focus had been taken off the clock as a piece of paper had been slid to me. I looked to the writer, Logan Mitchell; he smiled as he began to tap his pencil on his desk.
Pool side bon fire later, you in?
Of course! What time?
Whatever time you show up…because apparently we didn't think that far. : / I do know though, that it is an all night shin dig, you still in?
Sill yes. I just don't know what time I will be there because I have an audition today.
That's fine, the guys and I have things to do back at the apartment (A/N: pretend that's what it is…) before we can get down there. What time is your audition?
After school.
Good luck! And tell me how it goes.
Thanks, I will.
The bell finally rung as Logan was reading the note, "I'll see you later." I said smiling to him as I darted out of the room making my way to Rocque Records. I quickly made my way to my car, silently thanking my dad for letting me use it for the day.
It took no time at all to get there. I locked the car and ran inside. Hoping that by the grace of god I wasn't late. I darted through the hallways and soon found myself outside his office door. I simply stood there for a few moments trying to catch my breath before I went in. Once I got my breathing back to normal I knocked.
"KELLY! ANSWER THE DOOR! IF IT'S THE DOGS TELL THEM I'M BUSY!" I heard Gustavo yell from the other side.
Kelly answered the door with a smile, "Elizabeth! Come on in, Gustavo just has a few things he needs to finish up and he'll be all ears for you." She said stepping aside for me to come in.
"Thanks." I replied with a smile as I walked in.
I sat in the chair closest to me as Kelly walked back to tell Gustavo I was here. I sighed as I began to look around at the room. Everything about it seemed more intense and much more intimidating than the day I had come in here with high hopes of getting a shot. My heart started to race again from the thought of all of this happening, being in the studio was helping either. I tried to get my heart to stop going crazy by making my breathing deep and even.
"I got this…" I told myself, "There's no reason that you shouldn't have this…" I said leaning back in the seat.
My phone vibrated, I got it out from my pocket. It was a text from that best friend of mine, Sawyer.
From Sawyer:
You in yet?
To Sawyer:
Yeah, I'm waiting from Kelly to take me to the back.
From Sawyer:
Are you feeling okay?
To Sawyer:
I'm feeling frazzled… very frazzled.
From Sawyer:
Hang in there, girly.
To Sawyer:
Hangin' on! Are you going to the bon fire later?
From Sawyer:
Yeah! Wouldn't miss it!
"Elizabeth, you can come on back." Kelly poked her head around the corner.
I sighed while getting up to follow her.
I had not time at all to process my thoughts, because with in only a few seconds Gustavo Rocque was sitting in front of me across the table.
"Now Elizabeth, this is going to be a longer process than what you think," He started, "what we're going to do first is have you write a song. Once you've written the song, music included, then I want you to contact Kelly, come back to perform it, and then we'll go from there." He said leaning back in his chair.
It took me a second to realize what he said; I had to get around how he was talking first. He kept saying random words slightly louder than the others and kind of reminded me of a robot at some points; it was distracting to say the least. Soon enough my words caught up with me.
"So write a song, music included," Gustavo pointed to me as if saying 'Good, you were listening...' "Contact Kelly, come back to perform it, and go from there?" I asked making sure I had everything down.
"Exactly, we're gunna see what you got!" He exclaimed while getting up, me following his actions. We said our goodbyes and Kelly walked me out.
Now that the whole thing was over with…I'm not too sure why I was nervous. I have an anxiety problem when it comes to people, but my heart didn't go full on attack mode in there.
Maybe this was it…
