When Elizabeth heard about the auditions for 'Pistol', she didn't hesitate to work something out with her manager. She knew about the Sex Pistols from a young age, and loving their influence in Britain, she decided she would at least try for a part.
Finding out that Danny Boyle was directing the show, she was beyond excited. As they had worked together before, they were familiar with each other.
When Elizabeth's manager had come back with an audition date, she immediately told her parents who were thrilled for her. Shortly receiving the small sample from parts of the script, Elizabeth began to learn them right away, making sure she could be as accurate as possible.
When she arrived for the audition in a London studio, she was met with Danny. He tried to keep it strict and act as if they hadn't known each other from before. She understood as she wanted her audition to be as authentic as possible.
As Elizabeth began to act out the few pieces of script she was sent, the nerves were able to dissipate. She always found that acting took away her worries, and allowed her to enter a world away from troubles.
It was peaceful for her, and it allowed the audition to go seamlessly. As she got into it, time flew by faster than expected.
Danny gave her a small clap and thanked Elizabeth for her efforts, letting her know that she will be told the result in the next few weeks to a month.
The wait for the phone call was nothing but agonising. Waking up everyday to hear the phone ring, and going to bed at night disappointed. But, all good things come to those who wait, and as Elizabeth's patience was growing thinner she was able to hold out until the special day.
Expecting a phone call from her manager, she was surprised to pick up the phone call and hear Danny.
"Congrats Lizzie, welcome to the Pistol family!" Elizabeth could practically see his smile through the phone.
Thanking him who knows however many times, she put down the phone and started jumping around her then bedroom at her parents house. Going to her door and running down the stairs to let her parents know about the news, where she found them scattered in the kitchen.
Looking up from what they were doing, their puzzled faces slowly came to realisation with Elizabeth's gleaming expression. Her Mother was the first to come over and congratulate her, enveloping her into a warm hug.
Her Father took a little longer to understand what was happening, but when he did, he stood from the kitchen stool and joined in on the hug. Bear-hugging the other two together.
The siblings of the family had already moved out, so Elizabeth would ring them later on about the news.
For the rest of the day, the 3 of them had a celebratory dinner together and spent time discussing things. Elizabeth still couldn't believe what was happening.
Finally subsiding to her bed, she laid there with a smile on her face and let out a heavy breath. She was excited about what these next months would bring.
She was excited about the people she'll meet. She was also apprehensive.
'Bring it on.' was the last thing that ran through Elizabeth's head before she fell into a deep slumber.
