Dirty Little Secrets (Emblem3 fic)

Chapter 19: We've Got Nothing to Lose or do we?

CHELSEAS POV (2 Weeks Later)

I've been spending a lot of time with Drew lately. Its strange to think that in a week it ll be a year since I arrived back home in Cali. So much has changed, I've changed. But for the better. I'm no longer that frail sad little girl who ran away from her problems and didn't open up to her best friends. Nope not anymore. And I owe it all to Keaton, Wesley and Drew. These guys have put up with my shit since we were in Elementary school together and they still love to hang out with me. Thats true friendship right there.

I roll over in my bed. My aunt came in and opened my curtain for me. "Come on sweets you've got a long day ahead of you and don't be nervous you ll do fine I have all the confidence in the world in you." I raise up smiling. "Thank you. For everything really." She hugs me. "That's what family is for my dear, now hurry or you ll be late." Today I have a job interview at a local bar in Huntington called Hurricanes Bar and Grill. I know I know ironic right? My mother is an alcoholic druggie and I just happen to be a bar tender. Funny. But Its one of the best bars and I'm stoked on the opportunity to be a bar tender there. 

I grab my phone checking every couple of seconds for a text from one of the boys. Today they went back to the Xfactor to do another audition. Apparently there's 3 round of basic auditions until you get the okay to go to the live auditions in front of the judges. Drew says Demi Lovato and Brittney Spears are going to be the new judges. I've never watched the Xfactor but if they make it on ill watch and vote till my heart explodes. These boys deserve it. 

I take a quick shower then blow dry my hair. I hear giggling and voices when I step into the hallway to head back to my room. The audition must be over or rescheduled because the giggles are coming from Ri's room and I immediatley recgonize the male voice. Her and Keaton hit it off really well at Drews party 2 weeks ago. According to her they made out till they both fell asleep and he is, And I quote her here, An "Amazing" Kisser. I open the door and see him sitting on the floor and her next to him on the computer. They both look up smile at me and return to whatever is on the screen. "Hi keaters, What are you guys so interested in?" Keaton rolls his eyes when I call him keaters infront of Ri. It adorably nausiating. "Were watching cat videos!" I roll my eyes. "oh my god. How was the audition?!" Keaton gets a smile on his face. "We made it! We perform for the judges next week!" I high five him. "Oh my god thats great! Well Have fun with your cat videos and again congrats kid  Im out of here." I here a chourse of Good lucks erupt. 

I threw on my grey skinny jeans and a lacy black tank top. I didnt bother with makeup or my hair because I just pulled it back. I got in my car and drove over to the bar. I could here the music from outside. It was 10am so the place was deserted except a few cars of the employees im guessing. I know the kitchen itself didnt open till 11 so they have to be employees or people parking at the other shops around. Either way I mustered up my courage and walked in. Im nervous.

This place is super sick and the energy here is amazing. I see a guy wiping off the bar. "No customers till 11 sorry little lady." I purse my lips. "Im actually here for an interview Im looking for collin." He laughs a bit. "Sorry about that yeah Collin is back there at the DJ station." He nods his head to the cornor od the room. For a tiny exterior this place is pretty big.

I look over and Collin looks no older then me maybe like 22 or 23. Hes well built with a buzz cut and blue eyes. Hes wearing a black wife beater and a buttoned up flannel. I step closer and he starts playing Michael Jacksons Track Thriller and he starts to dance a bit. I giggle and he notices me. I see everyone laughing and watching him now. He hops down out of the booth and grabs my hand making me dance with him.  I drop my purse and we do the dance and when it ends we all erupt in laughter and he high fives me. "Good job mate! That was awesome!" He has a british style accent with a feature of Australian. Oh shit.
