CHAPTER 1

"Mom, can you tell Taylor that I will be late for the sleepover?"Annalise asked while trying to find her hairbrush.

"Sure honey." Her mom said.

As Annalise found her hairbrush, her phone rang.

(END OF CALL)

When she hung up, she ran downstairs with her bag to tell her mother.

"MOM! I GOT THE PART!!" Annalise said, full of excitement.

"WHAT?! The one for Newsies?" Her mother said shocked.

"YES THE ONE FOR NEWSIES AND REHEARSALS START IN TWO WEEKS!!" Annalise yelled.

"I'm so happy for you honey!! How long is the tour?" Her mother asked curiously.

"Two years." Annalise said emotionlessly.

To tell the truth, ever since Annalise found out the length of the tour at auditions, she was scared about how long she would be away from her mom. She had never been away from her mom for more than a week since her dad died. Her dad died in a car crash. He was driving down the interstate and a drunk driver hit him. He was dead before the police came. Annalise missed her father but she knew that he would want her to do what she was passionate about. That was the whole reason she decided to audition for the tour. She loves musical theater and she knew it was what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. She just couldn't get over the fact that she was going to be away from her mom for two years.

"Oh." Her mother said.

"I don't know if I can handle being away from you for so long." Annalise said, tearing up.

"Honey, listen to me." Her mother said lifting her daughters chin to look at her. "You have to do what you are passionate about. It doesn't matter how long it will be. It just matters that you enjoy it and you gain experience from it." She said, looking at her daughter's tear stained face.

"What happens if I don't see your for my birthday, or Thanksgiving, or Christmas?" Annalise said, her voice shaking.

"I will call you." Her mother said, trying to calm her daughter down.

"I FORGOT ABOUT THE SLEEPOVER!!! SHIT!" Annalise said running out the door.

"LANGUAGE!" Her mother yelled.

"SORRY, LOVE YOU MOM!" Annalise yelled closing the door.

"Love you too." Her mother said laughing.
