story of a dancer

Chapter 8

I just got a call she was in a car accident and she didn't make it to the hospital," she said, I don't know what happened. All I know is that first, my phone fell to the floor than me. I barely heard my mom tell me she was on her way to get me. The next thing I know I'm in Coach Val's arms crying. She carries me out to my mom's car and I just don't talk, I don't talk to anyone for a week I barely eat and don't go to the studio. That is until Faith and Mike barged into my room and say
"come on time to get up," Mike says first
"I'm good, "I reply
"No your not come on, think about Grandma she would want you to go into that audition and get Clara" Faith said, she was always good with comebacks
"We'll even get mom and dad to come," Mike said now, that made me poke my head up
"And how do you plan on doing this?" I ask them both they look at each other than Faith says
"I'll tell them I want to watch the Nutcracker," Mike interrupts her and says
"And I'll tell them my company is doing it but I didn't make the cast." we all got excited, I pushed them both out of my room and got changed into my leotard and my mom drove me to the studio, I ran in before she could say goodbye. Than Cassie stops in front of me about to make some snarky comment.
"Just don't, ok I don't want to hear it," I said then walked into the audition, got my number.
"Number 16," they say, That's me the last one. While I wait for my music to start I picture my Grandma doing my solo perfectly, and start. By the end of my audition, they said they would let us know in 5 minutes. I'm not even out of breath. I go straight to Coach Val, she gives me a hug.
