Savannah woke up when the sun hit her face through her curtains.
She yawned and sat up as her phone pinged with a notification.
She picked it up and read the headline outline.
Savannah. 'NuSound EVP of A&R Is Looking For The Missing Piece
To The Girl Group Puzzle.'
She rolled her eyes and tossed her phone, getting up and
grabbing her robe. She went to the bathroom, turned on her
radio, and began her morning hygiene routine. After the hot hip
hop song of the moment finished, DJ Buttons, a good friend of
Savannah, began speaking.
DJ. Alright y'all, that was Los Cortez with his newest single
'Wit Me'. He's another new artist on NuSound Records since
D'Angelo Bordeaux took over as EVP of A&R. Speaking of, he's
going to be in town holding auditions for his new girl group,
Take 3. He says he's looking for the last piece to the puzzle so
if you, or somebody you know, can sing their behind off, make
sure you're downtown at The Magania Hotel from 12-6 for tryouts.
Savannah paused and glared at the radio. It stood out to her
that she'd heard about the same event twice in one morning.
After getting herself collected, she made her way to the
kitchen. Samone and Leo stood by the stove, kissing each other
as Savannah walked in shaking her head.
Savannah. Really? In front of my stove?
Samone. Don't be hatin'.
Savannah. I mean, y'all cute or whatever. What y'all doing
today?
Leo. Me and Amir finishing his studio up today.
Samone. I'm watching TV all damn day.
Samone turned on the TV and a commercial popped up.
Commerical.:. Today's the day! NuSound Records is having tryouts
to find their missing piece to a new girl group, Take 3,
featuring Tiffany Woods and Cassie Miles. If you got what it
takes, tryouts are being held in Downtown Jorden City today.
Savannah stared at the TV, then her eyes darted to Samone.
Savannah. Oh shit, Samone!
Samone. What?!
Savannah. You're going down to that damn audition!
Savannah jumped up, looking at the clock on the wall.[/center]

Samone looked at Savannah like she was crazy.
Samone. I can't sing like that..
Savannah. Yes you can.
Leo chimed in as Samone looked at him.
Leo. Yeahh.. Savannah righ.. I love your singing voice..
Samone. Just cause you love it doesn't mean they will..
Savannah spoke again and Samone looked at her.
Savannah. And you wont know unless you go try..
Samone. I'm not a singer though..
Savannah. So? The president aint a politician but he still got
the spot...
Leo. That's a good point.... I think you should go too though
baby.. You could be what they lookin for..
Samone raised her eye brow.
Samone. You really think so?
Samone looked at Savannah and Leo as they both nodded.
Leo. We believe in you girl... Go do your thang..
Samone rolled her eyes slightly.
Samone. I guess...
Savannah squealed with excitement.
Savannah. Okay.. Now go get dressed.. They finna start at 12..
Samone looked at Leo and they kissed again as she walked off
toward their room. "I'm not a singer.. I've never had any
lessons or anything... Im finna go embarrass myself..... But
they want me to.." She went through her clothes and found a pair
of jeans and a cute top.

Leo shook his head as Samone walked off.
Leo. She gon kill that shit.
Savannah. Hell yeah, she is.
Leo's phone rang and he looked at it, seeing Lamar's name flash
across the screen. He answered with a confused look.
Leo. Wassup, big bro?
Lamar. Aye, you sitting down?
Leo. Should I be?
Lamar. Yeah.
Leo paused at the seriousness of Lamar's tone and sat down.
Leo. Yo, wassup? You scaring me.
Lamar. They found Amir's body this morning. He's dead.
Leo felt his heart sink to his stomach.
Lamar. I'm on my way to y'all right now, mama and pops on their
way.
Leo. I'm not living with them no more, I moved in with Samone
and her sister...but, I'll be there.
Lamar. Aite. I love you, man.
Leo. Love you.
Leo hung up and looked up as Savannah stared at him.
Savannah. You okay? What happened?
Leo. They found my brother-in-law dead today.
Savannah. Oh my God. I'll go get Samone.
Leo. No!
Leo grabbed Savannah's hand.
Leo. I want her to focus on this, cause this could be a good
opportunity for her. You gon' be with her, so keep her focused.
Just don't tell her shit about this, okay? I'll tell her after.
Savannah. Okay.
Savannah embraced Leo. He quickly embraced her back, then
grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the house, on a mission
to make it to his sister.[/center]

Once she finished getting dressed, Samone made he way back to
the kitchen and noticed Leo had left.
Samone. Leo's already gone?
Savannah. Yeah.. I think he needed to handle something... He
said he'll be with you in spirit... And he'll call you..
Samone smirked as Savannah cleared her throat.
Savannah. You ready?
Samone shrugged slightly and Savannah smiled and grabbed her
keys.
Savannah. Im so excited!
Samone laughed a little.
Samone. I guess..
The two walked outside and they hopped in Savannah's car heading
to the audition as they spoke to each other.
Savannah. What song are you going to sing?
Samone shrugged.
Samone. I don't know..

Savannah. Didn't you used to write your own songs?
Samone. That was a long ass time ago.
Savannah. So? They were good. And you would probably stand out
if you sung an original song.
Samone. I didn't know I would be singing until just a little
while ago, Savannah.
Savannah smiled over at Samone.
Savannah. Don't be nervous, sis. Just be you.
Samone. That's what I'm worried about.
Savannah. Samone, you gotta stop doubting your power, girl.
Samone. What you mean?
Savannah. I mean that you're not a helpless little girl anymore,
Samone. You never really have been.
Samone shook her head and Savannah watched as she began to
shrink into herself.
Savannah. You knew me when I wasn't even Savannah Monroe. You
first met me when I was Sonny Davidson, a skinny ass little boy
who was way too ahead of himself in terms of experience.
Samone chuckled.
Samone. You were always Savannah, though. You felt it in you.
Savannah. And I know you feel this in you. You can't tell me
with a voice like yours that you've never thought about singing
professionally. Baby, have you seen these new girls?! They sound
like wet kittens in a vacuum cleaner.
Samone bursted into laughter as Savannah pulled to a stop light.
Savannah. Take a chance on yourself, boo. You could end up being
happier than you ever imagined.[/center]

Samone thought about it as she looked out of the window as she
began thinking about what Savannah had said.
Since she was going to audition she figured the least she could
do was have a good song together. She thought to herself. She
hadn't completely given up on songwriting, and the last thing
she'd written was after moving in with Savannah, before she and
Leo reconnected. She was in a very lost and sad place, but the
song was still very hopeful.
Samone. You really think I have a shot?
Savannah glanced over at Samone and smiled.
Savannah. Of course I do...
Samone. I think I'll sing the poem I wrote..
Savannah. "Going Home"?
Samone. Have you been reading my stuff?
Savannah smiled as Samone shook her head.
Samone. You're terrible. You know that?
Savannah. You're talented honey.. It's always been a guilty
pleasure...
Samone smiled feeling a bit more encouraged. Even if she didn't
get the gig, she was glad to know Savannah really believed in
her.

D'Angelo stood backstage with Noemi as he adjusted his suit. She
fixed the collar of his shirt as one of his colleagues at the
label walked in with a smile.
D'Angelo. Hey, Ricky. How's it looking out there?
Ricky. A few hundred people, and there's more showing up.
D'Angelo. Damn, seriously?
Ricky. That's what happens when your name is attached. The girls
just got here, too.
D'Angelo. Get them squared away fro me, okay?
Ricky nodded and walked out. D'Angelo sighed and looked down at
Noemi.
Noemi. How you feeling?
D'Angelo. Hopeful. Hundreds of girls? There's bound to be a
couple in there worth something.
They looked at each other again.
D'Angelo. Thank you for being patient through all this. I know
we still have stuff we need to talk about.
Noemi. It can wait.
D'Angelo smiled and kissed her softly.
D'Angelo. Thank you.[/center]

Samone and Savannah walked through the door for the auditions
and someone handed her a paper with a number on it.
Samone. I'm number 147.
Savannah. Good... You'll get some time to look at the
competition..
Samone. Wait. We're all performing in front of each other?!
Savannah nodded and turned her attention to the front of the
room where someone was already singing.
Samone. Oh my God... I can't do this..
Savannah. Yes you can..
Samone. No I cant.. The last time I sang in public, I threw up..
Savannah. From 5th grade?
Samone nodded and Savannah smiled sympathetically.
Savannah. That was a long time ago.. I'm sure you'll do great.
Samone shook her head and sighed. She felt her anxiety rising
and she was working herself into a panic. Savannah grabbed her
by her arm and led her to a chair to sit in, and then she sat
beside her.
Savannah. Breathe. Inhale... Exhale... Inhale.. Exhale..
Samone began to get a handle on her breathing again as she
continued to take deep breaths.
Savannah. You can't be getting yourself worked up... Fuck these
people... If they don't realize you're special then fuck them..
But you can do this...
Samone nodded.
Samone. Okay.... Okay.. You're right... Fuck these people..

...The day dragged on. D'Angelo kept his composure and his smile
while listening to every moderate girl who came in front of him
and the panel. Noemi stepped in front of them after a while and
began placing a new picture in front of them.
Tiffany. Omg, what number is this?
Noemi. 147. We'll take our lunch break at 150.
Cassie. None of these girls are working,
Tiffany. None.
Cassie. How many more do we have?
Ricky looked at his list and shook his head.
Ricky. So far, 50 more. But, it's only 2'oclock.
The girls groaned as a girl walked up on stage. D'Angelo looked
at her picture.
Ricky. What's your name, sweetie?
D'Angelo looked at her.
Samone. Um...s-s-Samone Ryan.
D'Angelo. You nervous, Samone Ryan?
She nodded lightly.
D'Angelo. Don't be. Just sing your song and do your best, okay?
Cassie. And don't suck.
Tiffany nudged Cassie's arm.
D'Angelo. Whenever you're ready.[/center]

Samone looked at the panel and took a deep breath. She closed
her eyes and began to sing the words as she wrote them on a
paper. As she relaxed into the song she let her voice began to
echo throughout the room.
Samone. There's no other place I've known that feels like home..
Home is where the heart is and my heart is there with you.. I
know that you'll find me like you did before..
Samone continued to sing her heart out and near the end she hit
a high note and she could hear Savannah behind her.
Savannah. Yassss!
When she realized she'd sang the entire song without being
stopped like the people before her, she opened her eyes and
looked at the judges. She watched as they stared at her.
She heard claps behind her and she felt a little embarrassed.
The judges were talking to each other, and she figured they
didn't want anything else from her so she turned to walk away.
"Welp.. I gave it a shot.."
