Wildest Dreams-James McAvoy (Completed)

The Audition

I pull up to the studio a half an hour about I'm supposed to go in. In my profession, Being this early, your almost late. But it's still good to be early. I mange to find good street parking with no meter. I hope I don't get towed.

I open my car door, walk around from the driver's side to the crib. I stand to take a small sip before going to the audition room.

I walk up threw the studio doorway, tell the security guards who I am, show my ID and head down to the elevator. I head down to the audition room and sign in. I sit there with bunch of different girls of different ethnicities thinking maybe they just haven't chosen what type they wanted. I'm used to being in a room with 20 other blondes. Times have changed.

"Tina Sharp." The girl stands up. "Break a leg." The girl looks at me weird. Guess she's never done theater or trained in it. "Good luck." I change the saying and the girl thanks me.

"Can you believe were auditioning for a movie James's McAvoy's directing?" The girl next to me asks. She is a pretty red head. Almost too damn pretty.

"Yeah. I tell her. It's very exciting." I say hiding my nerves. Not that this was my first audition, but this is the most nerve racking for more than the usual reasons. "What's your name?"

She holds out her hand with a red painted manicure. "Clara. Clara Barns." I shake her hand. "Nice to meet you, Clara Barns. I'm Penelope Deschanel."

"Like Emily and Zooey Deschanel?" She raises an eyebrow, like what would I be doing here if I was related to them. I'm not Scott Eastwood.

"Yes, but no relation. I assure you."

She nods her head. "I believe you, but you could pass for a younger sister only with lighter hair."I shrug my shoulders, agreeing with her and giving her a maybe pout. "Are you a bond agent?"

"Excuse me?" She says.

"Well with the way you introduced yourself a minute ago, I'm just curious."

Clara giggles, "Oh, no just an ice breaker."

I nod my head. "Penelope Deschanel." The casting director calls out. I stand up and turn to Clara. "Hey, after your done, you want to go get coffee or something?"

Clara nods. "Sure. Wait for me when I'm done."

"You got it." The casting director guides me in. "This is Penelope Deschanel reading for the part of Moria." I stand in front of a table with two other producers and James, former love of my life and the casting director that walked around to join them.

James looked at me, trying to be professional, forgetting about what happened between them. "Nice to meet you Penelope." His deep blue eyes meeting mine. "Whenever you're ready."

I take a moment to clear her head, taking a deep breath. I was not going to be distracted. I memorized the scene, and worked hard last night on this. It was a chance to impress him. To show him that he had taught me well. I take a silent breath and began. "I just don't know if I can do this anymore."

James read after her, he heard the softness in her voice, feeling like it was real all over again. "What do you mean?"

"I just feel like you don't take me seriously. I feel as though I'm just a young piece of ass you just hide in your room. We never do anything; go anywhere. Are you embarrassed of me?"

James shook his head, "Not for a second. Moria. Please don't go."

My blues eyes started to tear up. It was like it was happening all over again. Between us. It was a lot to handle, but I could, in fact handle it. "I can't do this." I say, so badly wanted to kiss him but couldn't. "Goodbye Sean." I gave James a look that said I will always care for him.

James and the casting producers were amazed. He seemed to like what I was doing, and so did the casting director. "That was very good, Penelope." Said James. "We'll let you know." He said and the casting director lead me back to the waiting room.

"Thank you." Penelope said, before walking out the door and Clara was called in. Penelope waited for her, thinking about the great audition she had in there.
