Laura POV-
I felt my body shake, as I was being tugged on. My eyes flashed open, as I saw my 4 year old daughter, Emily, standing in front of my bed. I looked down at her, “What’s wrong, baby?” She looked up at me, her beautiful blue eyes were shining, even though it was dark in my room, “Mommy… I had a bad dream.” I sighed, “Aww. What happened?” She shook her head, “I’m too scared to say.” I nodded, and took her by her hand, and helped her into my bed. She smiled, “Mommy?” She cuddled into my side, “Will you tell me a bedtime story?” I nodded, “Of course, baby.. what do you want to hear tonight?” She giggled, and crawled over to my boyfriend’s side of the bed, “Tell me about you & daddy.” I laughed, “Okay, so.. let’s see.. it all started..”
“Laura, I don’t know why you want to do this. It’s really stupid, to be honest,” my best friend, Nicole, told me. That hit me hard. My best friend, telling me the thing I was most passionate about, was stupid. I rolled my eyes, “Whatever, Nicole. You even said yourself that I was a good actress. She sighed, “Laura, I know what I said.. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” I rolled my eyes again, and picked up my food from the lunch table, “Good to know you don’t have faith in your so called ‘best friend’. I’ll remember that. Thanks for nothing.” I sighed, and threw my food in the dumpster. Dang it. Why does nobody have faith in me? I can be whoever I want to be! I walked out to the courtyard, and pulled out my notebook, and began writing. I looked through my song journal, and began writing something down.
After I was finished, I walked over to my other friend, Justin. I smiled, “Hey, Justin.. Can I talk to you?” He smiled, and got up, “Sure. Excuse me, guys..” We walked over to the bench, “What’s up, Laura?” I smiled, and sat down, “So… does your dad still work for that casting company?” He nodded, “Yeah.. why? Are you looking into becoming an actress?” I nodded, smiling, “Yeah..” He smiled and gave me a hug, “That’s great!!” I smiled, “So, is there a chance he could hook me up?” He nodded, “Of course! Come to auditions tomorrow at 4. They’re casting a lead role for a new Disney Channel show. I think you’d be perfect for it, really.” I smiled, “Aww, thanks, Justin. You’re the best!” He smiled and kissed my check, “Anything for you.”
