When we arrive the nerves kick in. Jackson seems calmer, squeezing my hand in reassurance. I sigh and hope for the best.

Jackson
Mark messed up.
He tripped during his audition.
It's not his fault.
But now he's in the bathroom crying.
He's not letting me come comfort him.
He said I'm getting in that he won't.
But he'll get in. I believe it. That was the only mistake. He did amazing.
If they choose me and don't let Mark in..
I'm not going.
