Blind Trust (MewGulf)

Chapter 2: Another day, another audition. Day 1

Mew POV

It was morning when Mew woke up. His blurry vision was stuck on the ceiling. He was thinking if the decision he made was the right one.

Once again, he was preparing himself for failure.

He studied the plot and the characters until late the night before. He was thinking about auditioning for San's role. He thought it was the character that suited him the most, as he was one of the oldest roles in the story. Maybe, if he was lucky enough, he could be in the series for an episode or two.

Searching for his glasses, Mew got up from the bed. When his vision finally cleared, he took his phone to see his fans comments on Twitter. Most of them had said they would go with him to this audition, and he was actually grateful for that. But at the same time, it would be humiliating to fail the audition with his fans as witnesses. He was in a profound dichotomy.

"Today's the day"

"Yep. He'll be there, right?"

"He said he would"

"Let's wait for him at the entrance. I want to give him my support since the beginning"

Mew smiled reading the comments. Well, at least someone was waiting for him to go.

He dressed with a pair of jeans and an oversized shirt. Looking at himself in the mirror, he could tell he was losing weight. The shirt looked way too big on him.

Bathed, dressed, and ready to go, Mew called for his manager to come and pick him up. A couple of minutes later, P'Boss called him asking Mew to come out. When they met in the car, Mew couldn't hold back an irritated stared when he saw his manager's smirk.

- What has you so happy today?

- I have a good feeling about this audition. I know something good is finally going to happen.

- And you know this how? - Mew's skeptical tone wasn't missed by his friend.

- Can't you be a little more positive for once? There is no need to behave like a child about it. Show more happiness in your face, for dear god. Nobody would cast a gloomy actor for a romantic series.

Mew sighed and turned his stare to the window. Watching the view, he started to mentally prepare for the reaction he would get when he got there. Even though a lot of the actors that presented themselves for this audition were newbies, it was dumb to think they wouldn't know him or his story.

Half an hour later, he and his manager arrived at the place. Mew saw a lot of faces, in which there were some of his fans. They were in a separate group in a corner of the entrance. It always broke his heart seeing them like that.

After the incident happened, the remaining of his fanbase was treated as badly as him. A lot of people lashed at them because they defended him. And, as thankful as he was for that, he also felt guilty and sad seeing them being treated like that. But every time he said something about the issue to them they would answer a variation of the same sentence:

"Why wouldn't we support you P'Mew? You didn't do anything wrong"

It still amazed him the level of faith they had in him. At that time, Mew hadn't talked about the scandal at all. He had chosen to remain quiet and let the people express their opinions freely. He had thought that it would be pointless trying to defend himself. Sometimes, people think what they want to think, and it wouldn't matter how much he'd try to clear the problem, their thoughts would never change. They made their decision about him and judged according to that. But his fans stood by him, without even knowing what had actually happened.
