Lauren Jauregui Imagines |ABANDONED|

Backup Dancers pt. I

"Y/N!" Y/B/F yells as she runs into the dance studio Y/N was practicing in.

"God, damn it." Y/N huffs as she loses focus again and pauses the music to look at Y/B/F. "What?" She asks and Y/B/F sighs.

"Fine. If you're gonna be that way I won't tell you about these open auditions that I just found out about." Y/B/F says and Y/N shrugs.

"That's cool, I have a number to perfect anyway. Out." Y/N says and Y/B/F.

"Fifth Harmony! Y/N, Fifth Harmony is holding open auditions for their next tour! They'll be here in a month!"

"I don't even like them. Why am I interested?" Y/N asks and Y/B/F sighs.

"Because your best friend since forever loves them and wants to meet them and maybe even dance for them." She says, referring to herself. "Please audition with me. They want a duo, just to people." Y/B/F pleads, giving Y/N her best puppy dog eyes.

"Ugh, you're so annoying. Fine. I'll audition with you." Y/N groans, rolling her eyes at her best friend and grunts when she jumps at her and hugs her tight. "Okay, but seriously, I really need to practice this routine."

"What's it for?"

"The dance company." Y/N explains and Y/B/F nods before leaving.

The day of the audition, I sighed as I woke up to my phone ringing obnoxiously and groan as I answer it.

"What?"

"Auditions, get out of bed and meet me outside! Now!" Y/B/F yells over the phone and I sigh as I get out of bed and groan when my back and abs scream at me for doing so as I get dressed and grab my dance bag and phone as well as my lanyard with my keys on it and my shades and slip them on, on my way out of the house and to Y/B/F's car and get in after tossing my bag into the back.

At the audition, Y/B/F is required to wear a number on her stomach for the both of us because she signed us up as a duo, of course. Originally, the number was handed to me, but I handed the paper to Y/B/F and pinned it on her when she told me to wear it, so she playfully glares at me as we stretch and warm up as I happily return the playful glare.

"Uh, number 679." The guy who's been calling numbers all day says and I look at Y/B/F's stomach and laugh.

"That's our cue." I say and push Y/B/F forward when she freezes up. When we're in front of the five girls and a man, who I'm guessing and kinda hoping is their choreographer, I look to Y/B/F and sigh when she stays silent. "Hi, I'm Y/N Y/L/N and this is Y/B/F and we'll be performing Side to Side by Ariana Grande." I say as I pull the music up on my phone and hand it to the person by the sound system and get into position as Y/B/F does and nod to let the person know to play the music.

As we watch act number 679, I look to Sean and smile a little when I see that he's giving the duo in front of us his undivided attention as they perform a number that looks as though it's been perfected to absolute perfection. When the song ends, we all look at each other and I take it upon myself to speak seeing as nobody else will.

"Thank you, ladies, if you'd give us your numbers, we'll get in touch with you as soon as we know." I say and write down both of their numbers and watch them as they leave.

Later that night, as we're all sitting in Sean's room talking about the auditions from today, I look around as everyone says who they think should be brought onto the tour and I look at Sean and raise my hand to get the girls' attention.
