My Missing Piece (Angie Miller)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Back to Austin's POV. If wattpad isn't allowing you to comment you guys can always message me and tell me what you think!

I unlocked the front door of my house and walked in. "Mom I'm home." I yelled out. No answer. "Jake?" I called walking into the living room.

"In my room." He called back.

I turned around and opened his door. "Where's Mom?" I asked. He was sitting at his computer desk.

He turned around. "She left about an hour ago to go shopping."

I looked around his room. "Where's TJ? Did she take him?"

"Yeah. She was going to get him a toy from Wal-Mart." I nodded and sighed.

"I'm going to jump in the shower, and then be in my room." Jake shrugged.

I shut his door and walked into my room. Mom gave me the master bedroom over herself and Jake, so I had my own bathroom. I grabbed clean clothes and brought them into the bathroom.

Once I was done scrubbing the sweat from my body, and dressed in clean, dry clothes, I jumped onto my bed and pulled out my phone. I haven't talked to Angie today. I was developing a bad habit of texting her at least once a day to see how she's doing. It was comforting being able to talk to someone who didn't know you very well. In my town everyone knows everyone. Parents develop their kids friendships the day they are born, and nobody steps out of those relationships. The south was a peculiar place, a lot different than where I grew up in New York. Cliché's were formed from kindergarten and traveled into middle and high school, and nothing was going to change that. Talking to Angie was like a breath of fresh air, I could be myself without her judging me. Plus there was the added bonus of not becoming too close.

Me: Hey! How are you today?" -12:37pm

Angie: Hi, I'm good. Still trying to pick out an audition song. -12:37pm

Me: Whatever you do choose it will blow them away!-12:37pm

Angie: Aw thanks! I don't know if I want to do one that I have covered on YouTube or something else. It can only be 15 to 30 seconds and has to show off my voice. Why is this so hard?! :( -12:38pm

Me: Because it's your dream and you want everything to be perfect. You just have to follow your heart. Go with your gut instincts. :) -12:38pm

Angie: Yeah, thanks. So how was workouts? :p -12:39pm

I groaned.

Me:...don't wanna talk about it! -12:39pm

Angie: You've worked hard for this, you can't give up now! -12:39pm

Me: Oh, there is NO way I am giving up. I want to play more than anything...I just am sooo not a morning person! -12:39pm

Angie: Haha I know. You have told me everyday how much you hated it! :p -12:40pm

Me: I don't see you getting out of bed at 5:30 for a 6am "torture routine" that lasts 4 hours! -12:40pm

Angie: Sucks for you! I'm perfectly happy in my bed! :p -12:40pm

Me: :,( So, do you have everything packed yet? -12:41pm

Angie: I think so... I have another week before I go to New York but...-12:41pm

Me: Yeah, are you ready for your life to do a 360? -12:42pm

Angie: I'm kinda scared to be honest. I want this more than anything, but what if I fail? -12:42pm

Me: It's okay to be scared. You're 18 Ang! If you fail you still have your whole life! You can try college and in a couple years try again. But what if you do make it? That will be an amazing experience for you! -12:43pm
