The next morning my alarm goes off and I roll over and turn it off. Morning already? I roll over onto my back and stare at the ceiling. Auditions are today I remember. That thought wakes me up. I remember all the things I have to do this morning! I quickly shower, straighten my hair and put on some makeup. I walk out into the kitchen and eat quickly. Nate isn't up yet so I leave him a note; I'll be back later this afternoon. I've got auditions today. ~Kaylee :). I throw the note on the table and take a deep breath. Lets do this.

Once I get to the studio to audition I start to freak out a little. I've never been at an audition of this scale before. Ok calm down I tell myself. I make my way to the waiting area and look around. There are a lot of people here. Some muscular guys sit in the corner while some girls flirt with them. "Number 42 please make your way out to the stage." That's my number! Time to go…

After the auditions the judges look me over.
"That was very good." The female judge says. I smile, "We'll be giving you a call later tonight. Thank you for coming." I nod and leave. I think it went well. The knot in my stomach loosens but the butterflies are still there.

Once I get back to the apartment I open the door and look around. I don't see Nate so I call out, "Hello! I'm back." No one answers so I knock on his door. "Nate are you here."
"Yes, come in." I hear him through the door. I swing the door open just in time to see him shove a box under the bed. I wonder what's in it. I draw my thoughts back to Nate as he says, "So how was the audition?"
"Oh I think it went pretty good. They said they'd call about it later."
"That's good I guess."
"Ya. I really need this job." I start to get frantic, "I don't know how I'll pay rent without it." The look on his face shows that he's worried for me so I add a little nervous laugh at the end. "I guess I just have to wait now." He nods.

A few hours later I'm pacing up and down the hallway when my phone rings. I run into my room and pick it up.
"Hello?" I say anxiously.
"Hello, is this Kaylee?" The voice on the other end asks, I immediately recognize it as the female judge.
"Yes it is." I bite the inside of my cheek.
"Well I'm sorry to say this but you're not what we're looking for." My heart shatters. Right then and there. I've never felt so disappointed ever. The judge continued about how I was a pleasure to watch and have great acting skills. I wasn't listening though. I was holding back my sobs. When she finally said good-bye I turned off my phone and stared at the wall. I'm jobless; I didn't get the part. I can hold it back anymore so I let the tears fall from my eyes and curl up in a ball and cry. My parents were right. I wont make it as an actress. I'm crazy to have moved all the way out to L.A on my own. I'm not even going to be able to pay my first rent.

After a while I shake myself out of it. I don't need to be an actress to pay the rent. There's got to be lots of jobs out there. I'm going to go find a job. I burst out of my room and find Nate standing in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" he asks with a concerned expression.
"I didn't get the part." I hold back tears once more.
"Oh." He says, "Its ok. I'm sure you'll get it next time."
"That's the problem. I don't know if there will be a next time." I can't help it again and a few tears fall from my eyes before I can stop them.
"You're a great actress, I'm sure you'll get a job somewhere and don't worry about paying rent, I can handle that."
"You can?" I say, shocked as I look up at him.
"Yes, I can. I was also wondering if maybe… uh we could make this," He hesitates, "A permanent arrangement?"
"Yes!" I say, "You can stay! I couldn't think of a better roommate!" Before I can really think of what I'm doing I throw myself at him and wrap my arms around him. He stiffens at my touch but eventually he puts his arms around me and hugs me back. "I can't believe you're doing this for. I can't thank you enough." I say into his chest.
"It's ok, that's what friends are for. We're friends right?" He asks with full concern.
"Yes, Nate of course we're friends!"
He pulls away from me and says, "You're the first real friend I've ever had."
