Blakely

As Blakely sang the final notes of Selah's "Bless The Broken Road,"she felt herself relax ever so slightly. At the end of the first audition a few weeks ago, Jessica Lee, the director who would be directing the Rowan's Journey trilogy, had asked her to pick a song to sing for her and Marissa today. Instantly, Blakely had known what she would sing. The specific song that Blakely had chosen to sing meant everything to her. It was the song that her parents played for her quite often when she was battling cancer, as well as long after that. It was also the song that, to this day, Blakely's parents continued to play it for her."That was amazing, Blakely." Marissa Jones breathed, tears of awe welling up in her eyes. "Just like at your previous audition, you personified exactly what I envisioned my Rowan to be like.""I can see it, too." Jessica smiled, warmly. "Blakely, may I ask you something, please?""Yes, Ma'am." Blakely said, feeling overwhelmed with happiness."What would you say if I told you were chosen to play Rowan Jacobs after your first audition?"
