Promises

Annabeth

Chapter 5

Waiting is the hardest thing to do. Especially when it's for something as exciting meeting a music producer that is interested in you. My Dad wasn't very happy when I told him I scheduled the meeting already. But I told him about Percy and he finally agreed.

He told me not to get my hopes up though. I already knew that though. So now, I'm sitting in the waiting room at Apollo Music Productions. In case you didn't understand that, ME, Annabeth Chase is sitting in the waiting room, waiting for a meeting with one of the most famous music producer in LA.

It's almost enough excitement to make me forget about New York. Almost being the key word there. No matter how hard I try I can't get that phone call out of my head. He called me 16 times to see if I was okay. Not a lot of guys would do that.

"Annabeth Chase?" the assistant takes me away from my thoughts."Mr. Thomas can see you now."

My heart starts beating so fast I'm afraid it's going to explode. I look at my dad and Susan and we all stand up and follow the assistant.

The walk to the door at the end of the hallway feels like it is never going to end. The walls are filled with different platinum records. I keep telling myself to breathe. In. Out. In. Out.

Finally we reach the door.

"Annabeth!" I hear Will say as soon as the door opens. "So nice to see you again!"

"You too Mr. Thomas!" I say with a smile on my face.

"Annabeth, please call me Will!" he says. "Please, please, sit down." He says pointing to the chairs.

I walk over to the seat and sit down trying to hide my shaking hands. I take a look around the room and I see an entire wall of famous singers. It's really intimidating. I have to hold on to my hands now so they won't shake.

"Okay, so you are the girl we are looking for. You have it all, the look, the voice, and the personality. I can already tell you are a friendly, caring, and polite girl. How old are you?" Will says using a lot of hand motions.

"Uh- I'm fifteen." I manage to say.

"Even better. You're young. Now, I already have heard you sing but, do you have anything else special?"

I try to think of something quickly. "I- uh write songs."

Wills' smile grows even wider. "You really are what we're looking for!" he says getting out a folder. "Annabeth, it's time for you to sing."

My stomach drops. "Right now?"

"Yes."

"What am I uh going to sing?"

"One of your own songs! We have to make sure that we can work with it."

"Uh, okay. Where am I going to sing?"

"In the recording studio." He says as if it should have been obvious.

If I thought I was nervous before I don't know how to describe how I'm feeling now. He wants to hear me sing. One of my own songs! I'm not ready. I'm going to screw up. It's all over. My songs aren't even good.

We got to the door that says Studio A. Will opens the door and walks in. I follow him. He then points to another door. I open it and I look back at will and he nods his head telling me to keep going.

I walk over to the mic and wrap my hands around it and take a deep breath.

Then I sing.

A/N okay don't kill me. I know this is extremely short! But I'm going to post the next chapter either tonight or tomorrow i just didn't wanna do a perspective change in the middle of the chapter. Next chapter will have 2 perspectives but it's important. Wow I am so excited right now. I cannot wait until the next chapter! If I get a bunch of reviews I'll post it sooner ;) and I think it's going to be pretty long. i haven't typed it, just hand written it and it was like 7 pages! Okay sorry for the long authors note!

PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE YOU GUYS
