I looked up from the sheet music to Jet, eyebrow raised.

"What?" he said, almost defensively.

I didn't answer.

"Jasliene, you in there?" He waved his hand in front of my face, leaning into me a bit. We were both sitting on my bed; he'd just given me the music for the song he wanted us to do at our next… performance-type thing.

I glanced back at the music.

"Jet, are you sure we should do this?"

He looked confused. "Why shouldn't we?"

I shrugged. "Well, we've never done anything but country before. Much less this." I waved the sheets in front of his face. I knew the song, I just didn't know if we could play it.

He shrugged back. "So?"

I shook my head. No one in our group played piano, so we changed it to fit a guitar.

I tried the first couple of chords. It was pretty simple to play, just different.

I looked down at the words and tried it together.

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors?"

It really wasn't a hard song to do.

"Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home"

The chords got faster. It almost reminded me of the W.I.T.C.H. theme. (What? Whistle and Velvet like it.)

Jet chimed in.

"Wake me up"

I grabbed it, my voice getting more powerful.

"Wake me up inside"

Back to him.
"I can't wake up"

And back to me.

"Wake me up inside"

And then him.

"Save me"

And then me.

"Call my name and save me from the dark"

And him.

"Wake me up"

And me.

"Bid my blood to run"

Back to him again.

"I can't wake up"

I took it again.

"Before I come undone"

He took it one more time.

"Save me"

I grabbed it back.

"Save me from the nothing I've become"

I paused and strummed the next few chords.

I started singing again.

"Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life"

Jet chimed in again.

"Wake me up"

"Wake me up inside"

"I can't wake up"

"Wake me up inside"

"Save me"

"Call my name and save me from the dark"

"Wake me up"

"Bid my blood to run"

"I can't wake up"

"Before I come undone"

"Save me"

"Save me from the nothing I've become"

He took it again.

"I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life"

Back to me again.

"Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life"

And then him.

"Wake me up"

"Wake me up inside"

"I can't wake up"

"Wake me up inside"

"Save me"

"Call my name and save me from the dark"

"Wake me up"

"Bid my blood to run"

"I can't wake up"

"Before I come undone"

"Save me"

"Save me from the nothing I've become"

He took the end.

"I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life"

I heard a few claps and looked up. Bee, Honey, and Granyt were standing in the doorway.

Honey let out a catcall.

I set my guitar down, stood up, and put a hand on my hip. "What are you guys doing here?"

Bee smiled. "These two had their ears pressed up against the door." She pointed to Honey and Granyt. It still amuses me that Bee and Granyt are the same age and height, but Granyt acts so much younger.

Honey shrugged. "We wanted to hear the music."

Bee raised an eyebrow. "She hadn't started playing it yet."

Granyt pointed (more like flailed) at Honey. "It was her idea!"

I glanced at Jet, who was trying not to laugh. "Okay, I'd believe that," I said, turning back to them.

Jet walked over and stood next to me. "So, do you guys think she should let it go and sing it?"

They nodded, Honey so enthusiastically I thought her head was gonna come off.

He grinned. "Good. Now, why we you two spying on us in the first place?"

Oh, Jet, you're so oblivious.

I just rolled my eyes and punched him in the arm.
