Hello Lovelies! I do not own unnatural history or the song Reaching by Jason Reeves.

Maggie rang the doorbell of the Bartlett's home and waited for Mr. Bartlett to answer.

"Hello Maggie," the gentleman greeted, "The boys are upstairs. Make yourself at home as usual."

"Thank you Mr. Bartlett," Maggie chuckled lightly as she made her way up the stairs. She stopped at the boy's door that was slightly opened and listened.

"Since when do you play the guitar," Henry asked Jasper who was sitting on his bed with one leg hanging off and a guitar in his lap.

"I've been playing for years," Jasper grinned. Henry gave him a look, "Fine, a few months but I'm actually pretty good," Jasper confessed.

"How come I've never heard you play," Henry asked hopping off his hammock and standing in front of his cousin.

"Because you can't keep a secret," Jasper laughed punching Henry lightly on the shoulder.

"I have kept some of the most important secrets in the world from some very dangerous people," Henry countered.

Henry pulled his arm back to play punch Jasper. "Whoa, your goofing around punch is like Hunter's give me your lunch money punch," Jasper said holding up his hands in surrender.

Maggie stifled a giggle, which caused Henry to glance around the room and shrug.

"Anyway, why didn't you tell me you played," Henry asked.

"I didn't want you to tell Maggie," Jasper explained to a confused Henry. "We both signed up for this creative elective and one of the course requirements is to perform something. Maggie is reciting a poem."

"And you are playing the guitar," Henry asked walking over to sit at the computer desk.

"Yeah, you see Maggie thinks I'm boring and uncreative like her. She thinks I'll recite a poem or some worn out line from Shakespeare," Jasper smirked.

Maggie inwardly growled and outwardly glared at the boy.

"I'm going to sing a song I've been practicing by Jason Reeves," Jasper continued.

"Sugar, let me hear it," Henry smiled brightly.

Jasper laughed, "The phrase is 'sweet' not sugar and yeah man I can play a few chords."

Maggie leaned further towards the door, anticipating the horrible sound that would erupt from the awkward teen's throat.

You're inches from my fingertips

I've come as close as I can get

I'm reaching but the rest is up to you

Cause I don't ever wanna miss

Being here with you like this

I'm trying but it's all that I can do

I'm reaching but the rest is up to you

Jasper strummed the last note of the chorus and looked up at his cousin expectantly.

"That was amazing," Henry clapped and nodded in approval.

Maggie's eyes were wide in shock, his voice was so soothing and he played the guitar as if it were second nature to him.

"Great, cause I can't wait to rub my A+ in Maggie's face," Jasper smirked and placed the guitar down on his bed.

"That jerk," Maggie murmured under her breath as she reached for the door to give Jasper a piece of her mind.

"Especially when the song is meant for her," Henry laughed.

Maggie froze. "That obvious huh," Jasper asked scratching the back of his neck.

"Absolutely, based on the lyrics alone. I know how bad you want her to be your mate," Henry replied. Jasper raised his eyebrows, "I mean girlfriend, sorry."

Jasper sighed and stood, "You have no idea how bad I want her to be my girlfriend. It's like she is so close but…I don't know man. I just hope she likes the song."

Henry grinned, "Why don't you ask her, she has been standing outside the door the whole time."

Maggie gasped as Henry walked over and fully opened the door.

Jasper looked sick and Maggie nervously smiled, "You got to love those supernatural hearing abilities."

Henry nodded and smiled, "I think I'm going to grab some fruit from downstairs." He walked past Maggie and down the stairs.

Jasper looked around the room and put his hands in his pockets.

Maggie looked down and crossed her arms. A second later her head popped up, "I am not boring and uncreative!"

Jasper laughed, "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Maggie walked over to him, "I just might have a song of my own Bartlett."

Jasper looked at her hopefully, "Really?'

Maggie smiled.
