You Wrote the Book on How to Be a Liar
Silence is a Scary Sound
I haven’t talked to Dougie since the day he told me a bout the auditions, and its been a week. I’ve tried to call him many times, but he never answered. He’s probably just getting back from the auditions right now, unless he came to his senses, and chose not to go.
“Cameron?” my mum called from downstairs
“Yeah?” I yelled back
“You have a visitor,” she said. I climbed off my bed and ran to the top of the stairs, and standing at the bottom of the stairs was Dougie.
“Oh hey,” I said walking down the stairs.
“Hey, can we talk?” he asked me
“Sure” I said as he grabbed my arm and led me upstairs to me room, he shut the door and looked at me.
“Ok Cam, don’t yell at me, ok?” he said
“Ok”
“I went to the auditions this morning” he said slowly
“Great,” I said as I walked over to my computer desk chair and sat down, and didn’t say anything else. I looked over at him after a minute of silence.
“Silence is a scary sound Cameron,” Dougie said breaking the silence. I nodded, “are you going to ask how it went?” he asked me
“How’d it go?” I asked, rolling my eyes
“Great, the two guys Danny and Tom were really wicked,” Dougie started, “they had me play my bass for a minute, and then they had me sing a couple lines of a song”
“What did they say?” I asked
“Tom said I was exceptionally talented, and Danny said they would defiantly consider me,” he said smiling
“So did you make it?” I asked my voice shaking..
“I don’t know yet, I have a call-back tomorrow”
“Ok” I whispered
“Are you ok with this?” Dougie asked
“I don’t think your making a great decision, Doug. But I really want you to be happy, so I will try to support you decision,” I said slowly
“Thanks, I think” Dougie said, smiling. I just smiled.
“How many people have a call-back for bassist?” I asked
“17” Dougie said nervously
“You’ll be fine” I said
“I hope so, I have to go practice.” Dougie said, standing up
“Ok,” I said, standing up as well, “what time are the call-backs?”
“Three,” Dougie said, “Want to come?”
“I cant, my mum is taking me shopping” I said, rolling my eyes. I really hated shopping with my mum. She had no fashion sense whatsoever.
“Oh ok,” he said, he face dropping
“But when you get done, call me on my cell phone, and you can tell me the news, ok?” I said
“Ok” he said, walking out of the room.
“Cameron?” my mum called from downstairs
“Yeah?” I yelled back
