Chapter thirteen
Hailey was on an old wood stage with about twenty people. She was talking to Aaron, or more like yelling. "How can you just go and do something that stupid. You could have come and asked me, or at least told me. You' re so selfish." She was crying at this point.
"Listen I tried telling you. I really did, but you always blew me off to go to him." Aaron emphasized him as if he really didn't like who ever him was.
"You know that is not true. I was here every day for you. You could have told me then, or even called me. We've been friends forever. I hate you. Go, leave I don't even want to look at you. I thought you loved me, but I guess you were just acting." Hailey lowered her head as Aaron walked off the stage, and then she collapsed into a heap on the floor sobbing uncontrollably now. That when the thunderous applause came. Aaron walked back out and helped Hailey up, she dusted herself off and wiped away her tears. They bowed together then exited the stage.
"That was so amazing. You really got into character out there tonight. There's no doubt that you'll get the part of Arla. You were made for that part." Aaron told Hailey as they walked over to their acting coach to hear how they did.
Hailey listened to the coach and was trilled to hear that she got her part. She was also still recovering from how much she felt that her character fit her right now. They were both trying to get what they wanted and the guy they wanted.
"Oh my God, you got the part. I'm so happy, when's the play?" Mindy asked Hailey, who was sitting in front of her at the Premier Theater. They were both celebrating the great news, then Drake had to bring in the drama, as him and Rachel walked in.
"So what song are you going to play? This is a really big deal. I'm so happy for you." Rachel said. They came over to the table where Hailey and Mindy were.
"What great news do you have?" Hailey asked him forgetting that Rachel was there.
"I get to play at this sort of charity thing…" Mindy cut him off by nearly spitting out her soda.
"You, a charity? This is a joke right?" She asked him seriously.
"No, ten bands were pick though out San Diego, and I got one of to spots. This is a really good way to get a record deal."
"Well I'm happy for you. I'm so not going to be there, but I'm happy." Hailey told him.
"Why won't you be there?" He asked her almost hurt that she would miss the best gig ever.
"I got a lead part in a small play that I've wanted to be in for years. So I'll be there, sorry." He looked at her then thought about it.
"When did you become an actress? I thought you didn't like attention?"
"I love the spot light, it give this rush that you can't get anywhere else." She told him, and then got up to go get another soda from Josh.
this is where everything starts to come together...oh the teen angst...and all that other stuff...H.B.
