Gleeful Grace - A Darren Criss Fanfic

Welcome to Glee

"Sam, you don't have any idea what you done to me all those years ago....I'm not sure if I can face walking into Glee club and being reminded of that every day" Tears began to well up in my eyes, I look up and see Sam staring back at me, it's amazing at how much Chord changed when he was in character, his facial expressions, his mannerisms.
"Grace, I'm sorry I was a total douche bag to you, but how am I meant to put this right if your not willing to just even try? listen meet me in the auditorium at three, just give me this once chance if I ever meant anything to you...please" he placed his hand on my cheek and turned away.

We both looked at each other and smiled as we dropped the script down to our sides.
"You were great" he said shifting onto his other foot
"Nothing compared to you! Wow, I can't believe I was just given the chance to do that" I looked Chord who now looked like himself again.
We turned back to face Ryan, who was rolling the end of a pen around his mouth, he kept looking from me and back to Chord and then he wrote something down.
"Thanks Lindsey, thank you so much for coming in, we obviously need time to get together and discuss this, so we will be in touch" Ryan stood up and held out his hand, I took it and shook it, a feeling of dread filled my stomach. I had no idea how that went.
"I errr....thanks so much for the opportunity" I waved sheepishly at chord who smiled back warmly as I backed out of the room. I turned on my heel quickly, I needed to get some air fast.

As I leaned against the wall of the studio I put my hands up to my head and ran my fingers back through my hair, I exhaled loudly and gently tapped the back of head against the wall.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I made a conscious effort to switch it to silent to avoid any embarrassing moments in my audition. I fished it out of my pocket, expecting to see Blake's funny selfie on my caller ID...but it was a number I didn't recognise.
"Hello?" I said hesitantly
"Lindsey, Ryan here, I gonna cut out all the bull crap about how great you were Yada Yada Yada...."
I bit my bottom lip hard waiting for it.
"We want you back here Thursday, I suggest you get your ass an agent pronto so we can sign contracts, we will be in touch"
"what....wait....I got the part?!" I shrieked
"welcome to Glee" He laughed before hanging up.

Third Person p.o.v

As Chord left the room he couldn't help but smile, that Lindsey girl rocked. She was by far the best he had seen and man, he had seen a lot pass through the doors lately. Ryan said the chemistry was electric when they read together which made Chord whoop his fist in the air with relief. Finally they had found Grace.
'And I wouldn't mind working with Lindsey again, at all' Chord thought to himself.
He was about to exit the studio when he heard someone call his name.
"Hey Chord!"
Chord turned around to see Darren running down the corridor towards him.
"Hey Darren, long time man, how's the break going? Looking forward to rehearsals starting?"
"Yeah, gradually getting back into the swing of things, breaks been good, few things on the back burner" Chord held the door open as Darren passed through.
"So we found Grace today.... Between you and me.....Ryan will have my ass on a stick if he knew I told you yet" Sam smiled
"Awesome, maybe everyone will chill for a bit now" Darren chuckled.
"Yes, she was amazing, blew us all away"
"Wait was you all in E30 this morning?" Darren said holding his arm in front of Chord to stop him walking.
"Yeah, why?" Chord took the opportunity to get his phone out of his pocket whilst they had stopped.
"She must have been who I heard, man she sounded sweet, I can't wait to meet her" Darren said as he dropped his arm again.
"Dude, you ain't seen nothing yet" Chord smirked.
Darren laughed and raised his eyebrows at Chord. They continued on and headed towards the car park.
