My Best Friend

Chapter 22

FAITH POV: Tonight is the night I perform at the Bluebird. I have high hopes for this night! Tim was kinda discovered here at the bluebird and I heard around town that a lot of other country music artists got their start right here! I'm so nervous. As I sit here waiting for the time I go on. I try to pass the time. Tim than walks in. "hey baby" "Hey" "You're nervous arent you?" "Yes!" "hey don't be you are going to be great out there!" "thanks!" "okay Faith,it's Time" manager of the bluebird said. "Okay here it goes" Tim than walked me out. He took his seat. I got up there. I am only singing a few songs tonight. After my set the whole place was on their feet standing. I couldn't believe. it. I was so overwhelmed. I started to get tears fall from my eyes. I got off stage and Tim hugged me.  "you were amazing baby" "thanks" We than sat down for a little while. "so do you think anyone was here tonight from a label or anything?" "I don't know, but if someone is here, they would be crazy not to sign you!" I smiled. We got something to eat before leaving to go home. I went to sleep that night with a huge smile on my face.

NEXT DAY STILL FAITH POV: Last night was amazing! I still can't get over it. Noboby had approached me, but thats okay. I have confidence it will happen for me. While at work I kept watching the clock waiting for this day to end. Finally quitting time. I was about to leave when I was stopped. "Faith.." "yeah" "can I see you for a minute?" "sure is everything alright?" "yeah fine, I just need to talk to you about something" "oh okay" I was extremely nervous, I really hope I'm not going to lose my job. I need this job I can't afford to lose it, especially with a baby on the way. "so I was told by John, he saw you last night at the bluebird singing" I felt like I was about to be sick. "umm..yeah but it was.." "Faith, its okay. Listen I heard you were fantastic and have an amazing voice. I think this is your wrong calling here being a receptionist" "Am I not doing a good job?" "no you're doing a great job and I'm going to be sad to see you go" I put my head down" "Faith..its okay" "No you don't understand, I need this job" "I'm not firing you" "I don't understand" "Let's just say, I've been told to give you a promotion" Nancy said as she handed me a large envelope. "What is this?"  "open it" I than opened it and was shocked to see what was inside. This can't be or is it?
