I just haven't seen one, so I guess I will try.
You were just a 25 year old woman, in NY trying to make it. You work at a coffee shop not too far away from the theater. And you get a call...
"Not like that! I think she can swing for the female roles and you guys' understudy position will be filled. Aly and Mandy will be out for a couple of weeks and the show opens in a month."
"I think she would be too worried about kissing you. She would have be able to cover Eliza, Maria and Angelica. That's a lot." Jasmine chimes in.
"What do you mean, she would have to kiss as Eliza anyway and she might never have to fill in." Lin said all confused.
"This is different and there is a lot going on right now that you don't necessarily know about. The story time didn't exactly ease her nerves. We know you wanted to her to make friends. I mean she did, of course and the cast was really nice but the actual story was more distracting than helpful." Pippa takes the time to explain.
"She saw her self princess I think we all did" Jaz tries to explain. Lin is no longer happy and he says "So we won't be covered for the shows, what if something happens to you guys? Your understudies are down I need a female swing soon"
"Why can't you ask Emmy to swing?" Pippa asked "Because Y/n would be perfect, she has experience, it was in her portfolio." Lin says. "Okay, I guess it can't hurt to ask Y/N" Jaz adds.
And as if by magic... [*cough* plot convenience *cough*] Y/N comes in "Hey guys, I went to your dressing room but I see you guys were in here. What's going on here?"
Your POV
Lin then grabs my hand and promptly rags me away. Why does he keep doing this! "Lin, what are you up to now? Are Aly and Mandy okay? Lin!!" He doesn't answer and pulls me all the way back to the stage which I had just left. Everyone had cleared out though, I guess he just didn't want an audience.
"If you say no, I will have to beg so don't make me beg Y/N. Will you please please please please swing for the show?"
"Lin, of course I will on one condition." "Anything!" He is smiling so hard.
"Never make me do another story time again!" "Wouldn't dream of it!" And with that he hugs me and he runs down the hall probably to tell our directors and choreographer the news.
[And here is a lovely time skip because who wants all that time with no Leslie. I think you have all been through enough.]
** Two Weeks Later**
It has been 2 weeks, the show opens in 2 weeks, Tech week will begin next week and I chose to no longer fret about Leslie even though my feelings seem to only grow for him. So rehearsals were really just avoiding Leslie, enduring Daveed's flirting and talking with my girls when I'm not trying to learn everyone's parts.
~~**~~
"how have the extra rehearsal been going?"
"good, Lin says I'm doing well."
Me and Oak have gotten really close and right now we are sitting in Oak's apartment kinda like this

And he was telling me about how him and Renée were having a rap battle during one of his first rehearsals and he lost miserably.
"How could you lose I'm sure you had so much to say." "Yea but when the time came I got mixed up on 'got' and 'not' and it all went down hill from there." And we both just laugh.
My phone starts ringing and I grab it and see that it was Leslie. I just sighed and tossed my phone to the side. " you know you are gonna have to talk to him eventually"
"whyyyy??" "Because he really does like you and I think you should give him another chance."
"You're are suppose to be on my side!" I sound like a child.
"I am on your side, I just want you to be happy. Honestly how happy are you just sitting here with me, knowing you could be there with him?" I can't answer that.
"Can't we just go back to watching the movie" I grab the remote and press play. Just for him to grab the remote out of my hand and press pause."No, we can't." "Give me back the remote."
"No, call Leslie." He gets up and walk towards my kitchen. "No don't go, you were so warm!"
"No more cuddles til you call the man who has your heart!" He was now yelling from the kitchen.
I pout, look at my phone an began to get up so I can go to my room. Oak yells "I will call Renée if you don't sit down!" How the hell did he see me?
" I have to use the bathroom." "Shut up, you liar!" I thought Leslie would be the death of me, turns out it would be Oak.
Oak's POV
"No more cuddles til, you call the man who has your heart!" I swear this girl will be the death of me!
I'm definitely starting to see how she was so oblivious to Daveed feeling her, but if she wants Leslie I just want her to be happy.
I guess I can settle for cuddles... I don't hear any mumbling. She must be thinking of an escape route "I will call Renée if you don't sit down!"
" I have to use the bathroom." "Shut up, you liar!" Damn, if she keep acting like she doesn't want Leslie, I'm gonna make a move... tch, I doubt she would go for it though.
Y/N POV
Okay just call him! Okay, you can do this.
*dialing* *hyperventilating* *ringing*
"Hello... Y/N, Hello are you okay?" Leslie answers and sound increasingly worried.
What do I say? Oak didn't tell me what to do after I got this far.
"Y/N, did you mean to call to me?" He said calmer.
Just say something anything! "Can I come over Les?"
[I promise it isn't writer's block, it's procrastination! I'm so sorry if it sucks!]
[Also also actually actually, I start my job as a teacher tomorrow. I will still make time for this story, I promise!]
