We Are Endgame

Glee Club Auditions

Melanie Pov

I am so not ready for today. I am honestly nervous. I never really sang in front of people well except Rachel and my mom. I only did it because I knew they wouldn't hurt my feelings.  And Im still upset about what my mom told me yesterday.  My anger, confusion and being upset all night made me nervouse and I feel like im going to fall off stage. I did prepare a song and I will hope for the best.

Aldo: Hey. New girl. You actuallt showed up..

Melanie:  I have a name

Aldo: I know.  Its Melanie

Melanie:  So what are you doing here? You dont need to audition again

Aldo: I like to watch the auditions and I also work the lights

Melanie:  Great, so if I mess up, you will shine a light on me

Aldo: I wont do that and you wont mess up. The other fifteen people might. I sang you with before and your talent is great. So I will see you after and I would wish you luck but you dont need it

I smile as he walks away. I guess im last to go because my name hadn't been called yet. There was a rendition of dont rain on my parade and several songs from wicked. I did not even choose songs from Broadway.  They all got in and sang great. All the guys and girls. I close my eyes and then I hear

Sam: Melanie Corcoran Johnson

Melanie: Here

Brenda:  What song will you be performing today?

Melanie: Love Story by Taylor Swift

Sam: Great. Go ahead

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello."
Little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go."
And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes".

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes,
Escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go."
And I said...

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes".

Romeo, save me. They're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes".
