Within days, Elie prepared for her audition for Chris Brown. The day arrived and Elie waited around with Denise. Both girls were extremely nervous.

"You'll do great, ladies," Becky told them, "Just pretend we're at our studio rehearsing."

The girls were called onto the stage and walked out together. There, they introduced themselves and took their places to dance for their audition.

BRADIN

Bradin, along with Nikki, awaited to see if Elie has made the cut and would go on tour for Chris Brown. Bradin would have gone but it was private auditions. The phone rang and Bradin jumped for it.

"Elie?" he answered.

"No. It's your aunt," he heard, "I'm guessing that you didn't hear anything yet."

"No," he told his aunt, "I'm scared. I don't want her to be hurt if she didn't make it."

"You can't control it, sweetie. Just be there for her if she needs you."

He hung up and sighed. Dinner arrived and they still haven't heard from Elie. Bradin tried her cell phone and it always went straight to her voice mail. Bradin played around with his food.

"Brae," Jay said, "You have to east. Don't worry she'll call."

The doorbell rang and Bradin moved to get up. "Eat," Jay said, "I'll get it."

Bradin watched as Jay walked into the house and answered the door. Within a few seconds, he saw Jay walking with Elie at his side. Bradin got up and ran up to her.

"I got in," she said.

"AH!" He picked her up in his arms and spun her around making her laugh. "I'm so happy for you!" he yelled.

"Congratulations, dear," Ava said getting up and hugging Elie.

"Thanks," Elie said hugging her back.

"What took so long?" Nikki asked.

"They needed us to do a second dance. All of the girls were amazing dancers."

"And, they got the most amazing one," Bradin said kissing Elie.

"Are you hungry?" Johnny asked Elie, "You're welcome to stay."

"No thanks," Elie said, "I already ate." Gina started to cry. Elie saw Ava groan and get up. "Do you want me to get her?"

"Are you sure?" Ava asked.

"It's no problem."

Everyone watched as Elie went to take care of Gina. "Bradin, hang on to her," his aunt told him, "I've haven't seen anyone like her since your mother."

"Letting her go is the hardest thing for me right now," he told his aunt, "You don't know how hard it's going to be for me when she leaves for the tour."

Bradin walked into the house and to his baby cousin's room. He walked in and saw Elie holding Gina as she sang. He smiled. He walked into the room quietly and knelt beside Elie who was sitting in a chair.

"When do you leave?" he whispered not wanting to wake Gina.

"Next Wednesday," she said looking at him.

"That's your birthday," he told her. She shrugged. "Don't give me that. Tuesday, I'll spend the entire day with you."

"Brae," she said.

"No. And, I'll call you all day Wednesday and leave you messages saying how much I miss you and that you'll have an amazing 18th birthday."
