Hey

So this is the second chap, thanks to Step Up 4 for reviewing, twinspiredmom, JessexBeca, AnimePrincessRach for following and shadowpanther121 for following and favouriting.

Anyway Enjoy !

Disclamer: I do not own Pitch Perfect

I peer into the booth trying to see if anyone was home, taking a step back I almost walk straight into Beca who steadies me.

"What are you doing here, Ro" Beca asks cautiously, knowing that all my actions have a point

I shrug "wanted to see when, you're free" I half lie

Beca picks up CDs and starts stacking them "I don't know Ro, not tonight though"

"What's on tonight Becks" I ask curiously peeking through the CDs

Beca smirks "The auditions, Ro. I thought you knew that, because you're auditioning" she says in an overly enthusiastic voice.

I sigh preparing the same argument I've had with Becks for the last week "I'm not auditioning Beca" I insist but she won't take it and gives me raised eyebrows and continues staking CDs.

I look around the area trying to find something to change the conversation and a piece of paper catches my eye, "What's this" I ask walking over but before I can catch a glimpse of the writing, Beca has whipped it of the table.

"Those are the audition songs, Rowan. The ones you might be singing" she enforces but I just shake my head and gather a collection of CDs.

"It's not happening Becks, ever" I sate hoping to get the message through.

"What's not happening" Jesse says walking over to our conversation.

Beca checks the CD and stacks it "Rowan doesn't want to audition"

Jesse looks not bothered by this fact and slings his arm around Beca who playfully shoves it off "See Beca's mysterious friend, Beca wasn't that keen to audition either but she came round in the end" Jesse says smiling goofily.

I roll my eyes and shift my bag causing a small notebook to fall out along with some sheets of paper, groaning I bend down to pick them up with the help of Beca and Jesse.

"These are good" Jesse comments and hands back my drawings which I shrug "There just sketches"

"Yeah you should see her finished projects, there amazing" Beca states over exaggerating the whole thing whilst picking up my notebook .Flicks through it she laughs slightly but when Jesse tries to peer over her shoulder to see the content. She snaps it shut and grins deviously and I hold out my hand to receive it.

"Becks, you can praise me as much as you want but I'm not auditioning" I say bored, at that moment Beca picks up a pen and scribbles in my notebook before I can stop her. Handing it back to me I know what she did but I check it anyway.

#76- audition for Barden university's A Cappella groups

Beca smirks "Now you have to do it or forfeit"

I groan and explain to a very confused Jesse "Me and Becks have a bucket list thing, we can't change anything that has been put down or"

"Back out of it" Beca finishes.

Before I can justify why this is unfair our conversation is disturbed by shout.

"Rowan, what in the world's name are doing here" Luke calls out striding towards me.

"I don't know cousin, maybe because I go to college here" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes.

Luke chuckles and hugs me, "I thought it was a couple of rumours, you haven't caused that much trouble have you"

I wave my hand absent minded "decided to play good for now" I joke knowing the full reason why I can't get in trouble.

Luke sighs "Always going straight to the point" setting down his cup of coffee Luke folds his arms "So how's the family, Ro"

I shrug "You mean apart from that your mum wants your head on a plate for running of to America"

Luke chuckles "yes apart from that"

I scrunch up my nose "fine, Rachael's growing into a right prat" I say distastefully talking about his younger sister and my cousin.

Luke sighs "And always as abrasive as ever Rowan" and picks up the cup and starts to enter the booth, "Anyway talk to you later Ro, and you two" pointing to Beca and Jesse "keep stacking CDs and remember no sex on the desk"

I start to pick up my bag to go to my internship at the garage half a mile away from campus, when Jesse stops me

"Your friends with Luke"

I act nonchalant "were cousins grew up together" and head out of the door, but Beca has the time to jibe.

"See you at auditions" and I groan and flip my aviators on to my nose, in full knowledge that I can't escape it this time.

The auditions were as long and tedious as Rowan remembered, first there were lots of people second of all, Tommy and Justin were irritating and not improving Rowan's already sour mood.

So when they called her name up, Rowan isn't prepared or even remotely calm, wiping her clammy hands on her jeans she mutters "here goes nothing"

As she took centre stage she couldn't help but notice the massive golden trophy on the Bellas' desk,

Beca looks encouragingly at her friend but others aren't being so helpful because straight after Rowan introduces Mark points out the obvious.

"What are do those tattoos mean" he asks pointing to the collection of swirls on Rowan's left shoulder.

Rowan glowers and purses her lips wanting to retort rudely back but her father's words ring in her ears one slip up and you're out. So instead she doesn't take Mark's bait composes herself.

"Whenever I survive something life-threatening I add a swirl" she half lies, not going to tell these strangers the truth. Only one person in the room knew the real reason.

"Whenever you're ready Rowan" Beca confidently says and gives subtle thumbs up causing Rowan to smile.

Rowan opens her mouth to sing but can't, she knows the prepared song but her stubbornness came out stronger than humiliation. After a couple more goes a few quizzical looks she raises her hands in defeat.

"I'm sorry" she admits "This was a stupid idea and a waste of your time" , shaking her head Rowan makes a swift departure and leaves an awkward silence which is broken by Beca scrambling across the desk and onto the stage shouting "Rowan" and chasing after her friend.

The silence that follows after that is even more awkward and Tommy and Justin shuffle on,

Clapping his hands Tommy is about to speak but is interrupted by a very angry voice.

"WHAT BECA I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY" Rowan shouts unaware that she can heard clearly

"I'M NOT GIVING YOU PITY ROWAN; I'M TRYING TO GIVE ADVICE SO STOP BEING STUBBORN" Beca responds just as angrily.

Tommy carries on as if he hasn't been interrupted "as we are taking this short break, be happy to review the candidates"

But no one was reviewing the auditions all were listening to the angry conversation in the wings.

"I'M NOT GOING TO BE A PREFORMING MONKEY" Rowan insists getting more frustrated

"IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK THIS IS, A JOKE"

"YE-NO" Rowan says then changes her mind her voice returning to normal level "I don't know Becks"

Beca sighs still determined to convince her friend "I'll sing with you if you want"

Rowan scoffs "I don't think so" she says determined.

"Then go, go, go!" Beca grins shooing her friend on the stage.

Rowan runs her hand through her hair and mutters "take two" and strides on stage trying to act confident.

"Finished are we" Mark asks mockingly causing glares from the Bellas

Rowan's retort is sharp "Piss off Mark" she says flipping him off, which causes a chorus of "oohhs" and "burns"

Rowan sighs and starts to tap the beat to Emeli Sandé's Next to Me

Before reaching the first verse Rowan looks at the ground knowing that she would lose it and storm off if she looked up.

Using the bracelets on her wrist to imitate the tambourine she starts to sing.

Once she had finished there is silence and Rowan is ready to make a witty retort and storm off. But then surprisingly Mark starts to clap slowly than the others join in.

Smiling Rowan walks off the stage and thinks

Well at least I didn't make a fool of my self

Thanks for reading =) and please review
