Chapter 19
( the next day )
Rachels pov :
I woke up the next morning for my audition for NYADA. I was nervous about it I was shaking the entire morning. "Rachel relax you're going to nail this audition ." Quinn told me. "Really you think so?" I asked her. "I know so." She said. "Oh god. I think I'm going to be sick ." I told her. "Sit down I'll be right back . " She told me. I sat down and she left the room .
Finns pov :
"Finn!" Quinn yelled coming into my room . "What?" I asked her. "Go talk to Rachel. " She demanded. "She doesn't want to speak with me Quinn she hates me. " I said. "Hudson listen ,your screwed up with Rachel I get that. But right now the girl you love is freaking out and she needs you to tell her everything is going to be okay . So get your head out of your ass and go talk to her she'll listen to you." She said. "Fine . " I said and left my room . I knocked on Rachels door and said , "Hey. " "Finn I don't have time for this I'm to busy freaking out ." She said. I sat down and said , "Okay look I'm not here to tell you how I feel about because you already know . I'm here as friend and thats it so tell me whats wrong." I said. "Theres nothing wrong , its just what if I choke and I forget everything I was taught and I fail." She said. "So you're afraid you're going to fail?" I asked. "Yup ." She said . "Okay A. You know this song like the back of your hand and your going to choke. And B . You're Rachel Freaking Berry. You are a star and sure you may not be good at everything but when it comes to singing you can't screw up because you don't have it in you . " I told her. "You really think I can do it?" She asked. "I do. I have always believed in you Rachel and you know that but the question is do you believe in yourself?" I asked her. She sat there for a moment and them smiled , "Yeah I do. " She said . "Good now go show Carmen Tibido what a real star is ." I said. She smiled and got up, "Thank you Finn." She said. "For what?" I asked. "For believing in me." She said and gave me a hug and then left .
Rachels pov :
"Hi my name is Rachel Berry and for my audition I'll be singing My Man from my favorite musical Funny Girl." I said to Carmen Tibido. "Okay lets see what you got ." She said. I smiled and took a deep breath and started:
( Rachel )
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright
(Thinks of Finn)
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his forever more
It cost me a lot
But that's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright
(Smiles through her tears)
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his forever more
(End of song )
I finished and Carmen was quiet and then she said , "In all my years of teaching music and coming to these auditions I have never been so moved by a student. Ms.Berry you have one hell of a talent and I look forward to seeing you again next fall. " She said. "Are you saying I got in?" I asked not believing her. "Well I'm not saying you didn't am I." She said. I smiled and said, "Thank you so much Ms.Tibido. " I said. "Your very welcome and as for that boy who you were singing about if I were you I hold on to him." She said. "There is no boy. " I said. "Really because your emotion in that song tells me something else." She said. "Your dismissed. " She said. "Thank you. " I said and left thinking Is she right ? Is Finn the one ?
