Can't Stop Now (A Glee Love Story)
First Glee Story(:
"Megan Horecek, you're up." I heard a woman call to me, "Break a leg!" she said as I nervously shuffled past her. My heart felt like it was going to fall out my butt, but at the same time I could fly. Was this really about to happen? A sign on a pair of double doors answered my question, 'GLEE AUDITIONS' it read. I was about to audition in front of Ryan Murphy, for a role on my favorite TV show! I wonder what else could make this any better! I took a deep breath, fixed my blonde hair, and walked in.
"Ahh, you must be Megan Horee...Horrre.." Ian Brennan tried to finish my last name, but hardly anyone can.
"Yes, that's me." I said with my knees shaking, and I gripped my folder tightly in my hands.
"Well, Megan, before we begin, tell us a little bit about yourself?" Ryan asked.
"My name is Megan.. Horecek," I said smiling at Ian, "I grew up in Kansas, I started singing when I was 11, I've been a die-hard of your show since it started, and..." I paused while I looked at the clock, "In about 30 minutes, I'll be 23."
"Wonderful! Now what will you be singing for us today?"
"Umm..."
I can't remember anything after that, it was like I blacked out, but I was still conscious. Next think I knew I was walking out of the audition room, hearing muffled talking, and having people wishing me a happy birthday.
~9 Days Later~
A little over a week after my 23rd birthday and the most bizarre audition I've ever done, everything was beginning to get back to normal. I was sitting in my lonely apartment in Salt Lake City, watching Wipeout. I cuddled under my blanket, I was thinking about how I was going to pay this months rent. 3 part time jobs was already making me exhausted, and I was getting behind in payments. How can this get any wor-- Just then, my cell phone rang. I looked at the number, expecting it to be my credit card company, or maybe my ex. I stared at the unrecognizable number on the screen, after a second of thinking, I decided to answer. I cleared my throat and answered, "Hello, this is Megan.".
"Megan? This is Ian! Ian Brennan." I heard the person from the other line say, "Your audition with Beautiful by Christina was phenomenal, everybody knew that you belonged on the show."
"Oh god, Thank you so much!" I was able to choke out, my stomach felt like it was in my throat.
"You're oh-so welcome! Sorry for taking a while to respond back, but I believe this question is very overdue. Megan, will you please accept a role on Glee?"
I was so overjoyed, I couldn't answer. It took me a few moments, but I was finally able to say, and partially yell, yes. I was beginning to hop around my apartment like a little girl.
"Fabulous! Can you drive out in a few days? We'll provide some temporary housing for you, and you start on Monday!"
"Awesome!"
And after another 10 minutes of working out the details, I was set to leave SLC in two days, drive to the set in California, and after a few days of getting settled in, be ready to work on Monday. My first script would we waiting for me.
"Thank you for this.. Amazing opportunity Mr. Brennan."
"Oh please, Honey. Call me Ian, we're co-workers now! See you on Monday!" After we hung up, I called nearly everyone in my phone. My mother, my brother, my aunt, my best friend from high school, my ex-boyfriend who said my dreams would never get me anywhere. Yeah, who's going to be on an award winning TV show now? Me. I started packing frantically, sliding and dancing all over my room. I wonder what my character will be like? Nice or mean? Smart or dumb? Maybe I'll be best friends with Rachel! Or enemies with Quinn! What will my storyline be? My first solo? Duet? Everything was going a million miles an hour, next think I knew I was driving through the streets of Hollywood, California. Every actor/actresses dream. Oh my god. I was actually here, in the chaos of Hollywood. It was about 3 days until I was due on set, and I doubt that any news had broke about my new role. I guess I had a few more days of normal life, I could wear whatever I wanted without being on 'What Were They Thinking?!'. I could walk down the street without being attacked.
I was following the Mapquest directions to my temporary apartment, when I saw a starbucks. "I have time.." I said to myself. I parked my vintage covertable into a parking spot across the street, and checked my makeup before walking in. I didn't even have to look at the menu, because to me, Starbucks was a near daily thing for me back home. I ordered a caramel frappacino, and just as I turned around to leave the coffee shop, I felt near scalding hot coffee splash on my shirt.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry miss!" I heard a familiar voice say, and when I saw his curly black hair and pink sunglasses, I knew who it was. Darren freakin' Criss.
"Ahh, you must be Megan Horee...Horrre.." Ian Brennan tried to finish my last name, but hardly anyone can.
"Yes, that's me." I said with my knees shaking, and I gripped my folder tightly in my hands.
