Chapter Two -- Never Had A Dream Come True
"Good job Loretta! We'll inform you later about the results. Thank you very much for your time." Nick Carter said as he smiles, a smile that million of girls are dying to see. I smiled back at him.
"Thanks you guys. I can't believe that you guys are actually doing the auditions." I said. All of them stood up and were ready to leave, it's very obvious that I was the last one in the audition. They were in hurry, when they passed me by, all of them gave me a hug and left. While I got my mind back together and was about to leave the room, someone crashed into me.
"Oh I'm sorry." that person said.
"That's okay." I said and I looked up. "Oh my god, Nick?"
"Oh... hey.... I leave my jacket in here."
"I see..." I smiled.
He walked over and got his jacket. "Bye Loretta."
"Bye."
That very night, my parents asked me a question that kept me awake and thinking all night. What if I made it? What am I going to do? I thought to myself.
~ The next day -- 5:00 pm ~
We were leaving Orlando this weekend. Three more days, and my Orlando vacation trip would be over. It was a very unforgettable one, as I now recall. Going to auditions, seeing the Backstreet Boys and all that stuff.
"Hello? Loretta speaking."
<Oh, Miss Ho? I'm calling on behalf of Jive Records and KBNHA Records.>
"Hi..." They're probably gonna tell me that -- oh we're sorry, you didn't make the auditions and stuff...
<I'm calling to inform you that you are the one chosen by the Backstreet Boys. When do you have time to talk about the contract?>
"What? I made it? how bout tomorrow, can you schedule me in the morning?"
<Sure... let me book you in, is 10:30am okay for you Miss Ho?>
"Yes... thank you."
~ Hotel Room -- 10:00 pm ~
"Hi Lori, we're back!"
"Hi mom and dad... well... I need to tell you guys something..."
"What Lori?" They gave me a warm smile.
"I made the audition and I wanted to go for it. I'm gonna sign the contract with the Backstreet Boys tomorrow."
"What Lori? How can u do that? Do you know how small the chance is for someone to get popular and famous? It's not a wise thing to do and I don't want you to risk your career in it!"
"But mom... it's my dream, you knew that."
"Look, daughter, what if you didn't get popular? You're putting your future at risk! You willing to take this risk?"
"Yes!!!" I ran out from the hotel room. Without noticing, I ran to the beach. I sat there and cried hard. I didn't want to miss this valuable chance. I heard someone walking pass me, that person stopped for a while, and seemed to be walking back towards me.
"Hey... are you okay Miss?" and he handed me a tissue.
"Yea... thanks a lot." I said while I looked up. "Nick?"
"Hey... Loretta?" He sat down next to me. "Are you okay? What's wrong girl?"
"My parents don't seem to agree to let me sign the contract with you guys. They want me to continue my studies."
"Well... but what do you want to do though?"
