Temporary Home

After laughing at Matt, Jimmy, and Johnny for a while, I decided to go do a little bit of exploring. I had seen a room earlier with a bunch of their instruments. Dad had told me earlier that I was welcome to test out his guitars, to just be careful. I saw one of the acoustics and had the sudden urge to play it.

I carefully took it down and found a spot to sit. I let my fingers glide over the strings. I didn't know what I was playing, it was just random notes. Soon, a song came to me.

"What song was that?" I heard Dad's voice as I placed the guitar back.

"Just a random song," I said quietly. I didn't know he had been listening.

"You wrote that?" He asked, surprised. "That's amazing, Kels! Maybe you did take after me," he said, beaming.

"Apparently I take more after you than we both realize," I said, smiling.

"Well, that makes me feel special." We stood in silence, before he pulled me into his arms. I tensed a little, but then relaxed. I wrapped my arms around his waist and held on tight. "I really do love you, Kels. I wish I would've known about you before now," he whispered in my ear. "I'll always be here for you, Baby Girl," he said, kissing the top of my head.

I took a deep breath. "I love you too, Dad." That simple sentence, was the hardest thing for me to say for the first time in my life. I could tell he was happy when I said this, because he held me a little bit tighter.

"Brian, what's taking you so- Aw!! Kodak moment!" Zacky yelled upon seeing us. I laughed and buried my face into Dad's chest.

"Way to ruin a moment, Man." Dad laughed at Zack.

"Wait right there! I'm going to go get my phone!" He took off running and I just looked up at Dad.

"Hurry, run before he comes back!" I said, running out of the room. I went back to the room where everyone was at and sat on Jimmy.

"Hey! I told you I'd be right back," Zacky said, holding his phone up.

"Sorry, you took too long," I said, shrugging.

"What'd we miss?" Matt asked.

"A totally adorable Kodak moment!" Zacky was such a girl sometimes...

"Dude, you sound like a chick... Have you gotten into Gena's birth control?" Johnny asked. Zack looked at him like he was on crack. "What? You could! Those damn things look like mints!"

I started laughing. "Johnny, is there something that you aren't telling us?" I asked as everyone started laughing.

"Oh, screw you guys!" he said, pouting.

"None of that now!" Jimmy scolded. All of a sudden, my phone started buzzing in my back pocket. "Vibrations in the pants feels awkward!" Jimmy said, jumping. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Chill, it's just my phone, guys," I said, pulling it out of my pocket. "Sorry, Jim."

Watcha doin? I'm bored and need your help! :)

"Hey now. What's he need your help with, Missy?" Jimmy asked. I turned to see that he'd been reading over my shoulder.

"Hey! I don't invade your privacy. Keep your nose to yourself," I said, getting off his lap.

"I could so comment that... But I choose life," Jason randomly said.

I'm at the studio with the guys. And what exactly do you need my help with?

"Let me guess, Aaron?" Dad asked with a knowing smile.

"Maybe."

"Yes! And apparently he needs her help with something. I told you he was bad news!"

"Jimmy, you were the one telling us to give him a chance and that he seemed like a pretty decent kid," Matt pointed out.

"Yeah... Well... Poo on you!" I really question his mental stability sometimes...

I need your help with not being bored anymore! Duh! lol. Do you think they'd let you go for the night?

"Dad, do you mind if I hang out with Aaron tonight?"

"Sure, just be home before curfew."

"Alright."

Dad's fine with it. Pick me up in half an hour? We're at the studio. Blue building, can't miss it. lol

I'm growing to love the blue building. Such a random color that it sticks out and is noticed easily.

k :) be there soon

"Dude! I just got a great idea!" Jimmy said, jumping up. "Kels, you play violin. You should totally record some parts for 'Little Piece of Heaven'!" I just gave him a weird look.

"Are you insane?"

"Why not?" Dad asked.

"Because, I'm not that good."

"I think we should be the judges of that," Matt said.

"If it's anything like what I heard earlier, you should be great," Dad said, smiling encouragingly.

I sighed. "I'll think about it."

Yup, something was definitely getting to their heads. They were crazy to think I'd be able to pull that off!
