ANTAGONIST ➳ JANTHONY AU

chapter three- Inspection and Auditions

Jazz P.O.V.

I awoke with a crick in my neck. Ow! Daniel was still asleep though meaning I could leave without being caught if I'm slick enough. I quickly got ready and made breakfast for Daniel before leaving. On the way out I tie up my hair in a bun.

Even though I walked I was able to get there on time. "Any, has anything happened yet?"

"Nope, the inspector hasn't come yet but should any, minute," Any responds.

"Good, so how was your date?"

"Hell," She responds.

"Okay...well I have some news-"

The doors swing open. A man with glasses resting on his nose and wore a brown suit and was bald walked up to my mom. "Kim Lesley?" He asks.

Obviously, he was the instructor. "Yes, sir," She responds.

Any had to lead the customers outside to wait. Mom says it's bad luck to have customers inside. I just think she's nervous and doesn't want them to hear the results. He walks around the place then writes down something down on the paper. "Kim you understand what happening with your progress rates," The inspector says.

"Yes were figuring out a solution," My mom responds. 

"Okay here." 

He hands my mom a note. I watched my mom's eyes light up. "We're okay in fact great!" My mom exclaims.

We all holler and jump around. I turn my head to the clock. Shit, it's 10:45 am. I grab my duffel bag and disappear through the doors without telling anybody why I was in a rush. I hop onto Aunt Kath's motorcycle, I know Jazzy how do you know how to ride a motorcycle but not a bike? I wave to them before disappearing into the road. 

I run into the building. I run down the halls and check the time on my watch 10:58 am. I burst through the doors. Someone was singing on the stage and you'll never guess who when I looked up.

Anthony's P.O.V.

Some girl bursts through the door interrupts me. When I looked down annoyed it was Jasmine. Lin turned to her. 

"Jazzy! there you are, go ahead and sit on the audience chairs," Lin instructs her.

She follows his orders and sits down. I felt a bit uncomfortable with her just sitting there. "Okay Anthony continue,"

"Okay."

"Raise a glass to freedom something they can never take away...no matter what they tell you... raise a glass to the four of us tomorrow they'll be more of us telling us the story of tonight...-"

"Stop."

Well, I thought I did pretty good. I also really didn't want to get rejected again. "You're like perfect for the role," Lin says.

Alex nods his head too. "Just stay we'll be back with you," Alex adds.

I get down and sit next to Jazzy. "You auditioning?" I ask her.

"No, just might help with the playbill and set nothing special," She responds.

"Oh..." I say a little disappointed judged by last week she can sing maybe she has stage fright or something. 

"Okay Jazz I need to talk to you," Lin says.

"Okay," She responds.

She gets up leaving. Why do I feel a little empty?

Jazz P.O.V.

Lin sat in the chair with a professional looking face. I clear my throat. "Okay Jazzy not just for the playbill but I need you to help me with portraits for the cast I think it would be cool and a couple staging designs."

"Okay, when do I start?" I ask.

"Same as everyone next week," He answers.

"Okay," I say getting up.

"Wait, Jazz before here," He says sliding a contract towards me.

"Just some rules."

"Okay," I sign the paper after reading it.

"See you next week," He says shaking my hand.

Jazzy this is going to put you out there!

Anthony P.O.V.

I came home excited to tell Lyd about my news. I burst through the doors. Lyd sat on the couch watching tv. "Um...guess what Lyd!"

"Save it, Anthony, I know you didn't get the part"

"Wha-"

"Like all the time I mean did you ever think of something else besides theater!"

"I like theater," I respond defending myself.

"Anthony let's face it you suck! There never gonna pick you to go back to playing baseball just like baseball that was doing well..."

"Theatre makes me happy, I don't want to play competitively anymore! Oh, and I got the part..." I add sourly at the end.

"Anthony I just want you to hurry up and marry me," She pleads.

"Lyd I'm still 19 I want to live my life, this is exactly why I only took 3 years of college early to live my life all I'm hearing is marry me marry me!..you don't even support me...Lydia out," I finish off sternly.

"Anthony no..."

"Out..."

"An-"

"I said out!" I raise my voice. I never do that but I wanted her out of my life. Who is she to not even support me. I'm just fed up with her shit. As soon as she left with her packed things I flopped on the bed staring at the ceiling. Miles (my dog) came running onto me. I laugh as he licked my face. "Let's work on that album"

Jazz P.O.V.

I took Aunt Kath's motorcycle back. Kath was there cleaning the place. "Grandpa asleep yet?"

"No he keeps asking for you," She responds.

I run upstairs. "Hey grandpa"

"Hello Jazz"

His memories flood around nightly times. Most of the time I spent with grandpa when I was younger was Star gazing at night or staying up and reading. I smile at the mention of my name. "Hey, you want me to read to you?" I ask him.

"Yes, I've been dying for you too."
