Mikayla POV
As I was walking I heard someone singing and playing guitar.
I'm at a payphone trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you. Where have the times gone baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
"Who is that singing?" I thought to myself as I neared the voice. The voice sounded like it was a boy singing. I came up to some bushes which seemed where the voice was coming from. "Are they in the bushes? That's strange." But as I pushed the bushes away I came upon this beautiful clearing. In the middle sat someone but they had their back to me. "Wait a minute." I thought. "Why does that shape look so familiar?" The figure then continued to sing and play his guitar.
"Yeah I, I know it's hard to remember, the people we used to be… It's even harder to picture, that you're not here next to me." The figure sang softly. As I walked up behind him I accidently stepped on a dry leaf. CRACK! The figure quickly stood up and whipped around.
"M-Mikayla?" "What are you doing here?" Brady asked me. He had a look of confusion and surprise on his face.
"I was taking a walk and I heard someone singing so I wanted see who it was." I answered the boy in front of me. "Was that you singing?" I questioned.
He paused a moment before answering "Yes I was the one singing but why do you want to know?" I thought carefully. "Why did I want to know who was singing?" "Well I wanted to see the person who had the amazing voice I was listening to." I replied. He looked shocked that I had said that to him.
"Y-You think my voice is a-amazing?" he stuttered. I actually did think he had an amazing voice. Brady had a hopeful look I his eyes. "Yes I think your voice is really amazing but why have you never sang in front of us before?" "Stage fright." He replied so fast it seemed as if he was… lying?
"So you are scared of performing in front of a crowd?" I asked him. He was nervous and I could tell. Was it because I was here or he didn't want anyone to know he could sing? Hmm I wonder if Boomer knows about this?
He froze and I realized I had just said that last part out loud. "N-No! You can't tell Boomer please!" He spoke with fear and something else in his voice… guilt maybe? "Why is that Brady?" I asked. He was really nervous now. "Be-Because he doesn't know and I don't want to be better than him at something because we are both equally bad at everything and I want to keep it that way!" He finally spilled.
We were both silent for a few minutes till he spoke up. "Please don't tell Boomer."
"I won't." I replied. "Promise?" he asked. I was silent for a moment. Then I had an idea. "Alright then I promise I won't tell Boomer," He sighed in relief. "But!" I spoke. "B-But what?" He started shaking. "You have to tell Boomer when we get back to the castle or I will tell him myself." I spoke triumphantly. He stared at me his mouth open. "WHAT!" he yelled. "If you don't tell him I will Brady. You shouldn't keep things from your brother.
" He sighed. "I know I shouldn't keep things from him but like I said a few minutes ago our brotherhood works best when we are equally bad at everything." "Plus I'm not sure how he would take it I mean last time I kept a secret from him when I told him he got extremely upset with me and didn't talk to me for a week. A week Mikayla!"
"The longer you keep this from him the worse it will get Brady!" I argued back.
"Fine! I'll tell him when we get back to the castle." He was upset.
After another silence I spoke. "Are you ready to go back to the castle?" I asked softly.
"OK! Just let me get my guitar!" He responded cheerfully. "That's strange." I thought. "He was extremely upset a few minutes ago. Why is he so happy now?"
"Ready?" He asked from right beside me. "What?" I asked. I had forgotten what we were doing I was so lost in my thoughts. I didn't agree to go on a date with him right? "Wait where are we going?" I asked. "To the castle?" Brady responded carefully. He looked confused. "Oh yeah! I remember now we were going back to the castle so he could tell Boomer about his amazing singing voice!" "Yeah I'm ready!" I was just thinking and forgot sorry." I admitted. "Oh it's not a problem!" He responded cheerfully. "I wonder if he's a morning person? He does always seem to be happy."
After walking for a little while he spoke up. "Want to play a game?" He asked. Uh Oh, I thought, knowing him it's probably something silly or something so he can get me to kiss him. "What's the game?" I asked carefully. "Twenty Questions." He responded. I had heard of this game but never really could play it because it required two people and I never really had any friends to play it with. Well maybe this could be fun to play with him. "Ok." I responded after a moment of arguing in my head. "Great! Do you want to play the version where we ask questions about each other or where you have to guess what the other person is thinking about?" He asked still cheerfully. Hmm, I thought I could learn more about him but he would learn more about me or I could play where I have to guess what he is thinking of. I might as well try the first version so I can learn more about him. "Let's play the first one where we ask each other questions." I finally answered him.
"I'll go first." I spoke before he could. "Wow you're fast." I heard him mumble. I laughed slightly. "So how long have you sang and played the guitar?" I questioned. I actually was very curious as to his answer. "Really ever since I was little I've always loved music so I started singing and then started to learn how to play instruments." He responded truthfully. Instruments? He can play more than just the guitar? I'll ask him on my next question about that. "My turn! What's your favorite color?" He asked. "Teal." I responded without even stopping to think about it. "What instruments do you play?" I questioned the boy.
"That's easy, I can play piano, drums, electric and acoustic guitar, and the flute." He mumbled the last part. By now we were almost to the castle. "Ok one last question." I told him. He was quiet for a minute then asked "Why do you hate me?" This caught me off guard. Hate him? I don't hate him! I mean at times he can be annoying but otherwise he is really sweet and cute and can sing and – What am I thinking! I can't be falling for him now too! "I don't hate you. It's just that sometimes all the flirting and jokes can be a little annoying that's all." I answered. He still looked unsure.
"So are you ready to tell Boomer?" I asked changing the subject. "Yeah I guess." We were now in the courtyard. "I'll see you later?" He asked. "Sure!" I responded cheerfully. Is he rubbing off on me or something? I watched as he walked away. Hopefully things will go well between the boys. It's never good when they fight. Now what was it I was thinking about him being cute, funny, an amazing singer. I could go on for hours. Maybe I do like him. Either way I'm not telling him.
CRASH! Uh oh that sounded like the vase in the king's room. I'd better go check. These kings seem as I they will never learn. Maybe one day they will….
Here you guys go! Another little one-shot about Mikayla finding out that Brady can sing. The song used is Payphone by Maroon 5. So far on my story Bra-Kayla A to Z two people have guessed the song correctly.
