New York, New York - Mike Faist

TWELVE

*jocelyns pov*

It had been a month since the Tonys and everything was great! Mike and I were going steady, my show was amazing, and I got an offer at a different show. Would I be taking it? Maybe. The offer was to play Rizzo in Grease revival.

I always loved Grease and loved Rizzo even more. My favorite song to date is Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee. I really want to take this role but I love Les Mis. I've been at this show for about 8 months now. Most of the original cast had left except for a few. I feel it's my time.

I took my phone out and gave somebody a call.

"Hello?"

"Yes, this is Jocelyn Darling?"

"Ah, Mrs. Darling! How can we help you?"

"I'll take the role."

"Wonderful! Rehearsals start in a month! We'll keep in contact!"

"Alrighty, thank you!"

I hung up the phone and raced to the directors office. I knocked on the door and waited for confirmation to come in.

"What's up Jocelyn?"

"Hey, I got a job offer for Rizzo in the Grease revival and I took it. I will be leaving Les Mis in three weeks."I got out all in one breath

"Wow! That's amazing! We'll be sad to see you go, though."

"Yeah, thank you for the understanding."

I left the office and ran back to my dressing room to get into costume. Ince the costume was on I went to wigs and hair to get my blonde wig on. I told the girls there about my role and they were very excited to say the least. I'm usually in wigs for about 30 minutes so it gives me time to catch up on tech drama.

. . .

After my show I was tired! I didn't do stage door because I was emotionally drained. I missed my boyfriend, I missed my dad, I missed my friends. A wave of sadness hit right in the middle of my show, which sucks. I couldn't call Mike because he was currently in a show and obviously I couldn't reach him, I couldn't call my dad because of obvious circumstances, and I couldn't call my friends because most were with touring companies and I had no idea what timezone they were in.

I arrived at my apartment and fell onto my couch, dropping my bad by the door. I pulled out my phone and ordered some food from a small diner. Waffles were my comfort food and have been for my entire life. I turned on some random episode of The Office and waited for my food to arrive. After about 10 minutes I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and saw my food sitting.

I grabbed my food and threw the waffles on a plate and walked back to my couch only to for another knock to sound at the door. I groaned and set my plate on the coffee table. I opened the door and there stood Mike! He smiled at me and I opened the door for him to come in.

"Hey, sorry for just showing up." His hand went behind his neck

"No! I have something to tell you." I said as we walked to the couch

"Shoot."

"I'm leaving Les Mis because I got a offer to play Rizzo in grease."

"Jocelyn... I got an offer today too."

"Really? For what?"

"Kenickie! In Grease!"

He was joking. No way. No way!

"Really!"

"Really."

I tackled him in a hug and grinned so wide it hurt just a bit. But I didn't care.

. . .

*4 week timeskip*

"Jocelyn are you ready?"

"Almost!"

I heard a sigh and laughed softly before applying the last part of my mascara. I threw on my tennis shoes and walked back into my living room. Mike looked up and stood up with a soft "finally" under his breath. I walked out of my apartment with Mike following quickly behind. I locked the door behind him as he started walking. I speed-walked to catch up with him and took his hand in mine.

"So where are we going again?" I asked my boyfriend

"We are going to this little diner restaurant. I don't know, Jeremy found it. Should we tell them?"

"Don't they already know about you?" I asked

"Yeah, but they don't know about us working together!"

"Then we'll tell them."

.  .  .

We were all sitting at the table laughing and conversing. Mike gave me a look when the table quieted down. I cleaned at and attention went to me.

"So, I have a little bit of an announcement. I'm playing Rizzo in the Grease revival!" The table erupted in cheers and support.

"Wait. Mikes playing Kenickie! And you're Rizzo! So, you're working together and you're playing love interests! Stop, that's so cute!" Kara obsessed

This made me know I made the right choice.
