Chapter 3

It had been three days since the auditions. I didn't think that I would get in, I wasn't a very good singer, so I was surprised when I got an angry knock on my door from my mother. I followed her down the stairs to the family room, shocked when I saw the entirety of My Chemical Romance. Gerard awkwardly cleared his throat.

"You're Tanith right?" Frank asked

Feverently I shook my head yes. Sitting on the floor and playing with my dog, ellie, in the hopes that my mom would wait until after they left to start yelling at me. Ray got up and presented me with an armband, the one that all the members had. I shrieked and started running around the room in a frenzy. I quickly remembered that there were people in the room and sat down.

Frank was on the floor cracking up on the floor, while Gerard and Ray had fallen on the couch laughing. Mikey was just standing there face palming.

"Well someone's excited!" Frank giggled.

I just shook my head trying not to giggle too. Mikey helped me up off the floor, then tried to pull up both Gerard and Ray but only succeeded the in falling down and having both men fall on top of him. I burst out laughing. Quickly recovering I tried to help pull them all up but only succeeded in falling on top of the pile. I did manage to pull Frank up though, so together we pulled Gerard and Ray off of Mikey.

"Um... so yea that happened. Sorry I was excited." I told them

"Tanith can I speak with you in the other room for a second?" My mom was seething

Startled I walked into the living room "sure?"

"You are not doing this, you are too young and you have school and swimming!"

"Well too fucking bad. I don't give a flying fuck about what you want. I'm doing this and you can't stop me!!!" I screeched "And honestly I don't give damn about school or swimming, I don't even want to do those things you want me to do them!"

I stormed out of the room and grabbed my skateboard, heading to the mall to go cry my eyes out at Hot Topic. Hot Topic was like my safe zone, they accepted everyone there. They didn't have room to judge considering that most of the people who worked there could only ever work there or work at Spencers, which is not somewhere fun to work. Arriving some few minutes later I walked all the way up three flights of stairs to the Hot Topic, which for a swimmer is not easy.

I walked all the way to the back and hid in between the shirts hanging on racks. I slowly let what had just happened wash over me, I had been accepted and basically kicked out of My Chemical Romance in a span of half an hour. This revelation shocked me, and that's when I just started bawling. Bawling wasn't something that I did much, I wasn't the one to show my emotions outwardly. I kept the in a tight little bawl in my mind, I know it's not the smartest thing but it worked for me.

I heard footsteps come closer to the rack I was hiding under and I instinctively pushed myself farther into rack. Sadly my peace was disturbed by the clothes getting pushed aside and having one of the employes, Sarah, looking at me questioningly. She pulled me out and into a hug.

"What happened?" Sarah said "I was on the My Chem website and it said that you we're going to be the new singer, but I find you here crying again. I would think you would be happy not crazy upset."

Taking a deep breath I replied "My mom isn't letting me do it, see says school and swimming are more important. She basically banned me from doing it."

Sarah looked appalled "I'm calling Annabella, you need to tell her about this. Also I think you should do it no matter what, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity."

I nodded and went back to hiding in the rack. Annabella was one of my closest friends and was my makeshift therapist for times like these. She was the only one I trusted to all my secrets, including my horrible home life.

A few minutes later I heard her run in. The sound of her frantically looking for me in the racks could be heard throughout the store. Eventually she found the one that I was hiding in.

"Sarah told me what happened, you should have called me immediately. Oh my god i'm so happy for you and I'm also really sorry. I know how much you wanted this." See frantically stated

All I could do was cry on her shoulder. My dream was being the lead singer of a band. Now that my mom had crushed that dream I didn't know what else I could do. All of a sudden my phone started ringing, the number was unknown but I answered it anyway.

"Hello?" I questioned

"Tanith is this you?" I heard a voice ask

I flipped my phone to speakerphone so Annabella cold hear the conversation to.

"Yes it is"

"Ok good, it's Mikey by the way. W we're all really worried about you, you just stormed out with tears in your eyes with no reason." Mikey told me

"Sorry I just got really mad at my mom and need to clear my head, I'm at the Hot Topic at the Columbia Mall if you guys want to talk. Just curious how did you get my number?" I asked

" Yea, that sounds great.It was on a whiteboard at your house so I took a picture of it and added it to my contacts, sorry if that sounds creepy."

"It's ok. See you soon."

We hung up and I turned to she Annabella with a manic grin on her face. I started laughing and hugged her tightly. We always somehow managed to start cracking each other up. We waited there talking to each other about the last few days. We talked about my YouTube channel and how I would need to post a video about what had happened and what I would be doing with my channel from now on.

I hadn't posted a video on my channel in a week, I had been to overwhelmed with everything that had been going on at home and with the auditions to really care. I had tweeted out a couple times, once about my overload on life and one about the auditions, that I was going to be there.

"Hey tanith, you in here?" I heard someone call

I walked out from behind the display of piercings, finding My Chemical Romance looking for me. I cleared my throat and they all looked at me, I smile awkwardly before grabbing Annabella and dragging her over with me to where they were standing.
