So I know I just posted the first chapter yesterday, but I just love you guys so much that I had to update today. Updates may not be this quickly for the rest of the story though. Maybe like twice a week or something, I don't know yet. We'll see how it works out!
Any who, here is the second chapter! Enjoy! :)
Tori's POV
The rest of the year went great for me and Andre and our first time definitely wasn't the last time. It wasn't like we did it every day or even every week; it was more like once a month or so. We never told anyone that we did it, so it was our little secret. I had a few pregnancy scares, but I was never pregnant. I could literally feel my body relax when I saw that negative sign on pregnancy tests. My parents would kill me if I got pregnant in high school.
Toward the end of my senior year, I saw a thing online that there was an open audition for a traveling Broadway show of "The Wizard of Oz" to play Dorothy. I grew up watching the movie and I loved the book, so I talked to my parents about doing it. If I were to get the role, which I knew was highly unlikely, I would have to move out to New York City and then rehearse for the play for probably a month or a two and then tour around America for like a year. It all sounded really exciting to me, but there was just one little problem…
It was exactly two months until graduation when I talked to my friends about this. We were all at lunch and I started off by saying, "So next month, there's an open audition in New York City to play Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz' in a traveling Broadway musical show and…I'm thinking about trying out for it."
"Go for it!" said Cat excitedly. "I know you'll get the part!"
"Well, I haven't decided if I wanna do it or not." I told them. "I've just been thinking about it."
"How long have you been thinking about this?" asked Andre. I looked at him and he looked a little nervous.
I sighed heavily. "Just…for maybe a week,"
He raised his eyebrows. "A week? Really? And I'm just now finding out about this?"
I bit my lip. Just like any couple, Andre and I had our disagreements and an occasional fight, but it was never more than we could handle. We always found a way to work it out. "Yeah," I said quietly. "I'm really sorry."
"Hmm," he said with a nod of his head. "Well…good luck, I guess." He grabbed the rest of his food, got up, and threw it away in the nearest trashcan. Then he headed back in the school.
I sighed and looked back at my friends. "I'll go talk to him." I was already done eating, so I threw away my leftovers and headed in the school as well.
As soon as I located Andre (in the library), I walked right up to him and sat down. He was quietly reading a book, not looking up at me. "Andre?" I whispered.
He shook his head. "No, it's fine."
What was he talking about? "Huh?"
"Look, it's fine, okay?" he said and looked at me. "You didn't have to tell me about this huge opportunity for you. It's not like I'm your boyfriend or anything."
I couldn't tell if that was sarcasm or if he was being serious. "Are you serious?" I asked shakily. "Are you breaking up with me?"
"Oh, God, Tori, no!" he said a little too loudly and the librarian shushed us. He cleared his throat and said a little quieter, "No, Tori, I'm not breaking up with you. I'm just being sarcastic."
"You're mad," I said.
"Well…kinda," he said. "I just don't understand why you wouldn't tell me about this."
"I'm sorry." I said slowly, so we he would understand how much I meant it. "I'm really, really sorry; I should have told you and…I honestly don't know why I didn't."
"Were you scared about what I was gonna think?" he asked. "Did you think I wouldn't want you to go for it?"
"Well…" I said slowly.
"Because I do," he said. "I really do, Tori." He put his book down and turned to me. He grabbed my hands and looked deep into my eyes. "Tori, I would love it if you could get this role. It would be the most amazing thing that's ever happened to you–"
"But you're the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me." I told him immediately.
He softly smiled. "Thanks, baby, but I'm not talking about a person; I'm talking about getting a break in the entertainment world, because believe me, you are the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. But I haven't had a huge break into the entertainment world and…you do. You should go for it."
"But…but what about us?" I said. "I'll be gone for over a year."
"Yeah and you may never get this chance again." he told me. "Plus, we can still talk on the phone when you're not busy and we can talk through video chat. We can make it work."
"You think so?" I asked quietly.
"I know so." he whispered and then pulled me to him and we kissed.
"Hey!" someone said in a loud whisper.
Andre and I pulled apart and looked over at the librarian. She was glaring at us and not in a nice way at all. "Stop that! This is a library, not a make out place!"
"Fine, we'll just leave." said Andre and he grabbed my hand and we headed out. "She's just jealous she can't get anyone."
The librarian wasn't intended to hear that obviously, but I think she did. She looked at Andre like she wanted to kill him, but we were out of there before she could say or do anything. Once we were outside, I said, "Andre, that was mean." I tried to sound serious, but I was still smiling.
"She was meaner." he said. "I was just showing my love to my beautiful girlfriend."
I smiled and said, "Mm, that's not the only way you show me your love."
He giggled and kissed me again. We pulled apart moments later, but kept our foreheads together. "You're gonna be great as Dorothy."
"I haven't even auditioned yet." I reminded him gently.
"Yeah, but I know you're gonna get the part." he said. "Besides, they would be stupid to not give it to you."
I sighed shakily and said, "I wish I believed in myself as much as you believe in me."
"Oh," he said like he was in pain and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "You have got to believe in yourself, Miss Tori Vega. You have so much talent it's ridiculous. I swear to you, you will knock those casting directors off of their feet. Trust me when I say this, you are going to get that role. And if that one in a trillion chance you don't, I will go down there and talk to those people and make them give you the role." He held his fist up. "If you know what I mean,"
I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck and then said, "I love you so much." I loved having a boyfriend who believed in me. It was also one of the things I loved most about him.
Wow…I must really love Tandre fluff. Haha. That's pretty much been the main stuff last two chapters. Oh well. It won't be this much for every chapter.
Okay, that's it for now. Don't forget…PLEASE review! :D
