Sorry that this chapter is so short. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT AUDREY, MRS. HOWARTH, AND BRENNA.
On Monday, Audrey was so anxious to find out if she landed the role of Maria. But she knew she would be moving in two weeks. She had to tell her friends that she would be leaving, which she did not want to do. When she made it to the auditorium she looked at the bulletin board on the auditorium door. She noticed a new paper that said 'West Side Story Cast'. Audrey ran her finger down against the paper. 'Maria-Audrey Hudson'. She was so happy. Her excitement quickly went away, remembering she had to tell Mrs. Howarth that she wouldn't be able to play Maria.
She entered Mrs. Howarth's office. "Mrs. Howarth? May I come in?" "Audrey Hudson, come in! And Congratulations on getting the lead! We were very impressed with your audition," said Mrs. Howarth. "Thank you Mrs. Howarth. I am thrilled to have gotten the lead but, I can't play Maria, or be in the play," she hated saying those words. Audrey loved the theatre more than anything. She loved performing and loved having the spotlight on her. Just like her Mom. "Why? I thought you wanted to do this more than anything." "Believe me, I do. It's just, well, I'm moving in two weeks. That's why I can't be in the play," Audrey could tell Mrs. Howarth was disappointed. "I'm sorry to hear that Audrey, I guess we'll have to give the role to Brenna." "It's ok. And Brenna is an excellent performer. She'll do great. Thanks Mrs. Howarth for everything," said Audrey. "My pleasure Audrey," Mrs. Howarth responded. Audrey gave her a weak smile and left.
When Audrey arrived home she saw her Dad on the couch watching the football game. "Hey Dad. Where's Mom?" she asked. "She's rehearsing for her last show on Friday," Finn responded. Audrey placed her school bag on the floor and sat next to him on the couch. "She'll be home soon though," said Finn placing a quick kiss on his daughters head.
"How was school?" he asked. "It was good, I got the role of Maria, but I told the director I couldn't be in the play because I was moving," she said. "I'm sorry Audrey. I know you really wanted to play Maria in the play." "It's ok Dad. There will be many more opportunities in my future and this won't be the first time I would turn down a role," she responded. Finn smiled, "You're great you know that?" Finn said rustling her brown hair. Finn always did that to Audrey ever since she was little. "Yeah I know," Audrey said back and Finn laughed at the comment reminding him of Rachel. Finn focused back on the game again and so did Audrey.
Thanks to Finn, Audrey also loved sports, watching them and playing them as well. Audrey loved watching football with her Dad. It was one of the many things they did together. All of a sudden one of the players from the Giants intercepted the ball. He started to dash down the field. "TOUCHDOWN!" Finn and Audrey shouted standing up from the couch, throwing their hands up in the air.
Rachel came through the front door between Audrey and Finn's celebration. "What's going on?" Rachel asked locked the door. "The Giants scored a touchdown," said Finn to his wife, giving her a kiss on the lips. Audrey got up to greet her Mom and headed into her room to start her homework. Finn and Rachel went into the kitchen. "Audrey got the role of Maria today," said Finn. "She did?" Rachel questioned happy that her daughter got the part. "Yeah she did." "Was she upset because she couldn't be in the play?" Rachel asked. "No actually, she was cool with it," Finn responded. "Well that's good."
