The Phone Call -l.r.h.

Asking Mom

A/N: I will write longer chapters when she finally gets to Australia. Also, I'm aware that much space isn't required, but I find it easier to read. If you don't like it, I can change it.

-Andy's POV-

After everyone went home, I decided to go to bed. I awoke the next morning, realizing I had to inform my mom about our opportunity. It was Saturday, and if I didn't tell her soon, we wouldn't have a chance.

"Hey, mom!"

"Good morning, what are you so excited about?"

"Okay, so um, we got this cal.." She cut me off.

"You're Aunt told me, and the answer is no."

"Whyyy?" I whined.

"First of all, you didn't ask, and second of all, school is more important."

"Okay, so it doesn't matter that I could quit school if I had a career like this?!?"

"1. Don't cock that attitude, and 2. I don't care about what you do, you are graduating."

"WHAT ABOUT THE BAND!?!"

"It's a band, we all knew you weren't going to do anything with it."

"BUT NOW WE CAN!" I was getting frustrated.

"Go to your room, and don't yell at me again."

I did as I was told, for I had a little hope left in me. I dialed Audrey's number.

"Heyyy! So did your momma say yes?"

"Hahaha. No."

"You're joking right?"

"No, it went down with screaming about school and me getting sent to my room."

"Damn. She's acting a little salty."

"I know right, I mean we could do so much with our lives."

I paused to avoid crying.

"And if we turn this down, we might not ever get another chance."

I told her that I had to go; I had an idea.
I rushed down the stairs.

"What do you want?"

"For you to go with me Monday, and check it out. It's just a few days out of school."

"I talked to your father on the phone while you were upstairs, and he said okay, but remember that's not a yes."

"Yes, momma." I hugged her and went back upstairs to Skype the band.

I was going to Australia.
