Chapter 9 growing up
Teddy ran straight to her room after the kids and her arrived at home. Jacob and Grace went out back to the family tree together and Bridgit and Shane stood dumbfounded cause they didn't know what was wrong. They decided that whatever it was, they would leave their mom alone and go to there older siblings.
They sat down on the grassy patch next to the tree that their siblings were around. Jacob held his guitar, plucking at strings to calm him down.
"Jake, what's up?" Shane finally asked his brother. Jacob looked up, and then look down at his guitar again, plucking a tune that Grace began to hum.
"Gracie?" Bridgit asked. Grace looked up, wanted to tell her sister, but her twin put his strong hands on her, not wanting her to say a word. Cause if she said it, then it was true and he didn't want it to be true.
"I'll, I'll tell them." Grace said quietly as she began to tell them the upsetting story that happened that day.
"So I put down the magazine. And, and left." She said finishing the story. "I don't know why dad is such a freaking idiot." She said putting her head in her hands. Shane put a comforting hand on her and rubbed her back. Jacob leaned up against the tree and picked up his phone and put on a song and played to it, softly.
"So what's gonna happen next?" The younger twins asked.
"I'm to really sure." Grace said looking at Jake. "But this won't stop us from going to college.
"But I can't handle this alone!" Bridgit said with tears in her eyes.
"Bridgit, listen. Your so low on yourself. You have whatever it takes to get you through This." The siblings hugged and stood up, walking over to their garage band.
Shane took his place at the drums, Bridgit at the keyboard, Jacob on his guitar, and lastly, Grace walked up to the microphone. They played a couple of songs they wrote and then Grace placed some music she wrote in front of them. After a couple of minutes of studying it Shane spoke up.
"This is just the music." Shane started. "Where are the words?"
"Still working on that. I saved this tune for if we would all be going through a tuff time, you know. So I guess, I want us to write it all together. If help us get our thoughts out." Grace said. They all sat down and started writing lyrics. They almost forgot about their father cheating on their mom and they started laughing when Shane began to put pencils up his nose, like when they with their first song.
*FLASHBACK*
"Grace, this is stupid." Thirteen year old Shane stated. "I could be winning for my school math team, but no, you have me here writing songs with you stupids." He pouted.
"Shane, the only reason your not playing is because you broke your hand cause you punched the chock board when your answer was wrong." Grace said.
"Weak." Jake said.
"Just be quiet and write, Gosh." Grace said as she took the pencil in her hand and began to write. "You know, can we just right the music to a song and then when we go through a hard time we can write the words."
"Sure, I don't care." Shane said getting up. "I play drums so I ain't writing anything."
"Yeah same," Jake said putting his guitar down. "Shane lets go play video games or something."
-END-
They finished writing and Shane went to the drums, "a 1, 2, 3."
"Trying hard to fight these tears" Grace sang.
"I'm crazy worried
Messing with my head this fear
I'm so sorry"
Jacob joined in, "You know you gotta get it out
I can't take it
That's what being friends about.
I, I wanna cry
I can't deny
Tonight I wanna up and hide
And get inside
It isn't right
I gotta live in my life
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Hate to feel this way
And waste a day
I gotta get myself on stage
I shouldn't wait or be afraid
The chips will fall where they may
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it
I know I, I know I
I know I gotta do it"
They got up while Shane played the drums and did the determinate dance they just made up.
"Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate"
Shane, surprisingly got up and started to rap the next part,
Okay, It's Shane and I'm heaven-sent
Music like a veteran
Renegade, lemonade, use it in my medicine
Go ahead and try to name a band we ain't better than
Reason why the whole world's picking us instead of them
People need a breather 'cause they're feeling that adrenaline
Stop! Now hurry up and let us in. Knock!
'Cause we're coming to your house and
People keep on smiling like the lemons in their mouths
We're the real deal, you know how I feel
Why they're in it for a bill
I'm just in it for the thrill
Get down now I ain't playin' around
Get your feet up on the ground
And just make that sound like
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Push until you can't and then demand more
Determinate, d-determinate
You and me together, we can make it better
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor
Determinate, d-determinate
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
Come on and, come on and
Come on and get it going
On the dance floor
On the dance floor
D-D-Dance floor
Determinate"
"Awesome!" They all yelled when they finished. They completely forgot about their problems when they were in song but soon, reality slipped in once again as they heard their mom come down to the garage.
"Hey guys, I'm heading away for the weekend, I'm meeting with dad..." She hesitated, "it will all turn out but I don't want you guys to worry okay?"
"Okay."
"So I'll be back soon. I'm not sure when but I will. I love you guys." She smiled, sadly.
"Love you too mom."
