Living After Abortion (Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence Fanfic)

(7) My Audition

••Maddie's POV••

"You're going to do great. " Jen sends me her sweet smile.

"That doesn't make me feel any better. " I snap, unable to control myself.

"Just relax and think about what you have to do. " She goes back to her phone--probably texting Josh, again.

I return to the selection of the script they gave me to try out with. Its an interrogation that Lucy, the character I'm trying out for, has with the police about her sister being sexually abused.

I look around and see many other girls who are reading the same script I am.

The same lady with the clipboard came out of the room, like she's done the other ten times, except this time she calls my name. "Madison Lawrence?"

I stand, give Jen a nervous smile, and follow her into a room with about seven people in it.

"I understand this is your first audition, yes?" A guy with a coffee mug says.

"Yes sir. " I reply, remembering my manners.

"Well good luck Madison--you may begin when your ready. "

After my audition, I was super shaky.

Everybody seemed quite shocked when I was done and they told me I was going to a call back room.

Jen told me earlier that if I'm sent to one, that's good. It means that I will audition again.

I thought about what I had just done. I think I did good, but I don't know for sure.

Anyways I've been in here for about twenty minutes, maybe more, and my legs are asleep. I stand and scan my surroundings.

There were a few couches and some plants that looked like they were real and not cheap plastic. It was very professional, I would say, but I'm new to this.

I look at the 'few' people that were in here with me. Well not really with me, they were more in their own little world, with there own problems.

I look around to see if there is any other kids, and find none.

"That's weird. " I think to myself. If it's a call back room, shouldn't there at least be a few other kids that tried out for the same role as me?

I plop down on a light beige couch and open a People magazine on the small table in front of me.

I look at the cover more closely and see that it's Jen, with her beautiful smile. I flip through the pages, until I see an article about her.

It says in bold letters, "Jlaw talks about her family and how she makes time for them."

I already knew Jen had two older brothers, because she's mentioned them before, but she never really went into that much detail about them.

I'd like to know about them, what they're like and if I could ever meet them.

"Madison Lawrence?" I turn to see a different lady with an identical clipboard call my name. "We're ready for you. "

I quickly put the magazine back where I found it, reminding myself to talk to Jen later.

The lady then leads me out into the same hallway I was in earlier and through a few more I've never seen before.

"In there. " She gestures to the door, "Good luck." I think I saw a smile.

She walks away as I step through the door.
