1: Friends Before Fame. (William Singe)

Chapter 24

***WILLIAM'S P.O.V***

I arrived back at home then went inside. I decided to tell my parents about the talent competition I was auditioning for at school tomorrow, considering they'd have to know sometime.

'Hey mum, dad, I wanna talk to you guys for a minute.' I said as I walked into the kitchen where they both were.

'What's wrong son?' Dad asked.

'Yea, what is it honey?' Mum asked afterwards.

'I wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to be home later than usual tomorrow.' I started.

'And why is that?' My dad questioned.

'Well, you know how you always told me to do something with my voice?' I asked him.

'Continue...' he said raising an eyebrow.

'Well, I've decided that I'm going to audition for the schools talent competition, and the audition is tomorrow.' I stated.

'That's great honey, I'm so proud of you already, and you haven't even auditioned yet.' Mum said happily.

'Good going son. I'm fine with you staying back after school to audition, not a problem, thanks for letting us know though.' My dad continued.

'Cool. I thought it would be best if I let you know before it happened.' I answered before walking upstairs so my room.

I was glad they approved of letting me do the competition, now it was time to practice then I'd let Shona know my parents were fine with it. Then I'd have to see how her mum, and her dad went with the whole audition thing. She never really mentioned her dad so I didn't know anything about him, I didn't wanna bring it up either, I figured she'd bring it up when she was ready.

***SHONA'S P.O.V***

I went back downstairs after considering the fact that there wasn't any point in practicing if my mum wouldn't let me audition. Gee, now I think about it, this could take a while.

'Mum, can I talk to you for a minute please?' I asked walking into the lounge room and sitting down next to her.

'Sure sweety, what's wrong?' She asked after turning off the television.

'Nothing's wrong mum. I just wanted to let you know something that's happening after school tomorrow.' I answered.

'Okay...' She said waiting for me to continue.

'So at school they're having a talent competition and tomorrow's the auditions. I signed up for it and I came to let you know that I'll be getting home later tomorrow afternoon.' I answered, bracing myself waiting for her answer.

'Sweetheart, are you sure you going to be able to withstand it, like with you're asthma and everything?' She asked.

'I'm not completely sure mum to be honest. But I do wanna do it, I think it will do me good and it would mean alot if you'd support me with it.' I responded.

'Okay, sure honey, you can do it, and I'll support you with it. I just don't wanna see you in that hospital bed ever again.' She replied.

'Thanks mum. And I know, I hated laying in that hospital bed as much as you hated seeing me there.' I answered.

She hugged me and told me that everything was going to be fine. I thanked her then went upstairs to practice.

Mum had always felt responsible for why I was in hospital, but honestly, she took the blame for everything. It was far from her fault as to why I was in hospital for so long....if only the events that occurred on 17th of April 2004 never happened....
