Carley's POV
Everyone was looking at me. I didn't like it. Then they all smiled.
"Uh, Carley? What instrument do you play?" Nick asked me.
"Um…piano," I replied.
"Your other instrument,"
"Violin,"
"Your OTHER OTHER instrument,"
"I don't have another instrument,"
"Yeah, you do,"
"No, I don't,"
"Yeah, you do,"
"No, I don't,"
"But Carley, I thought you said that you played the guitar. And you also played that song you wrote. And in the guest room that you're staying in, isn't there an acoustic guitar and sky blue electric guitar?" Lilly kept going on and on.
"N-no there's not!" I lied because I didn't want the adults to know, and then they would ask me to perform. And then I would be forced to.
"Yes. Yes there is," Joe said.
"Noooo!" I said. Then Joe and Lilly both ran upstairs to the place where I would sleep.
"Um…they don't know what they're talking about," I said to Mrs. Jonas. Then Joe came down with my sky blue guitar in his hands and Lilly holding my song Drama Queen.
"I think THIS is yours," Joe said while handing me my guitar. I snatched it from him.
"And look at this!" Lilly said while handing Robbie Ray my music. He looked it over and then looked at me with a shocked face.
"You wrote this?" He asked me.
"…Yeah," I replied.
"This is amazing," Then Mrs. Jonas and Mr. Jonas looked at it.
"Why would you lie about something like this? This is incredible," Mrs. Jonas said.
"Thanks," I said.
"You could be the opening act until Miley recovers!" Mr. Jonas told me.
"Huh!? No I can't! I've only made one song! And it's what you're holding!" I told him.
"Well, you could make more, couldn't you? You have 3 days," Robbie Ray informed me.
"Well yeah, but-" I started but was cut off.
"Please?" Kevin asked me in the cutest way I had ever heard. I couldn't resist turning him down.
"…Sure," I forced out and then was tackled in a hug by everyone except Miley and Mikayla who couldn't tackle me.
"Um, can't breath here!" I said as I was in the middle of the whole hug.
"Oh, right," Lilly said as they all backed off.
"Well what are you waiting for? GO WRITE A SONG!" Oliver told me.
"Right now? You mean, like, RIGHT now?" I asked him.
"Yeah," They all said.
"But I don't wanna!" I complained. But then Nick, Joe, and Kevin pushed me upstairs to my room that I stayed in. Kevin picked me up and threw me on the bed. And Nick handed me my acoustic guitar.
"You guys, I can't just write a song out of thin air. I need an influence or something," I told them.
"Don't you have any past experiences?" Joe asked me.
"Um…well yeah," I answered.
"Like what?"
"Um…my dad died 7 years ago,"
"WHAT!?" Joe and Nick said.
"Yup,"
"Oh…well write about that!" Joe told me.
"You guys, it would be harder to write a song like that about someone close to me who died. I'm not the most emotionally strong person you would find," I told them all.
"Well, what else do you plan on writing about?" Nick asked.
"Um…stuff," I replied.
"Ooh. VERY descriptive," Joe joked.
"I don't know yet. But it'll come to me," I said.
"Ok," Nick and Joe said in unison as they walked out of the room.
"You sure you don't need any help?" Kevin asked me.
"Yup. I'm fine," I told him. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left the room.
"Ugh. Now what?" I asked myself.
------------------------
ONE HOUR LATER, IT WAS 9:30 AND I STILL DIDN'T HAVE 1 IDEA! I started banging my head against the wall. I stopped when I heard someone some up the stairs. It was Nick.
"We're having dinner now. You want some?" he asked me.
"Not right now. Maybe later," I told him. Then he came and sat down next to me.
"So did you get any ideas yet?"
"Nope. I'm stuck,"
"Oh. Well find out something soon. But right now, I'm hungry,"
He got up and was about to leave the room but he stopped in the middle of the doorway.
"And by the way, anytime I had a past experience that was depressing and it was the only idea I had for a song, after I finished writing it, there were a ton of other ideas for songs that came into my head. It was my way of letting it out and letting more songs come in,"
And with that, Nick left out of the room. I thought about he said for I didn't really get it. But then I grabbed a piece of paper, a pencil, and I grabbed my acoustic guitar, and started writing. I had gotten a song down in 20 minutes or so. I called it 'I Miss You' (REMEMBER THAT I SAID PRETEND THAT ANY SONG IN THIS STORY WAS NEVER WRITEN!!). I went downstairs to eat and I saw that they didn't even start yet.
"How come no one has any food in their plates?" I asked.
"Because JOE and LILLY ate all the food that EVERYONE was supposed to eat," Miley said while looking at Joe and Lilly with a pissed face.
"We were hungry!" Joe said.
"SO ARE WE!" Oliver yelled.
"Did you write a song?" Kevin asked me.
"Yup," I replied.
"About what?" Lilly asked.
"My dad," I replied.
"Oh, a dedication?" Mrs. Jonas asked.
"Yeah. He died seven years ago in a car accident," I told her.
"WHAT!?" everyone but Kevin, Joe, and Nick said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Mr. Jonas said.
"It's ok," I replied.
"But I thought you didn't wanna write a song about him?" Joe asked.
"I know. But I thought about it and decided I should," I told Joe. I looked at Nick and he smiled.
"Can we hear it after dinner?" Jake asked. He was trying to be nice now.
"Uh…sure," I replied.
"What are you talking about?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah. We already had dinner," Joe added.
"WELL SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T!" we all yelled at them.
"Riiiiiight," Joe and Lilly said in unison.
----------------------
After dinner, everyone gathered around in this huge room. I didn't know if it was a family room or what. There were a ton of rooms like that in the house. So anyways, I got my acoustic guitar out of the room I was staying in and sat down on a chair separate from the couches everyone was sitting at. I started the song.
Sha la la la la,
Sha la la la la,
You used to call me your angel,
Said I was sent straight down from heaven,
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong,
I never wanted you to leave,
I wanted you to stay here holding me,
I miss you,
I miss you smile,
And I still shed a tear, every once in a while,
And even though it's different now,
You're still here somehow,
My heart won't let you go,
And I need you to know,
I miss you, Sha la la la la,
I miss you,
You used to call me your dreamer,
And now I'm living out my dream,
Oh how I wish you could see,
Everything that's happening for me,
I'm thinking back on the past,
It's true that time is flying by too fast,
I miss you,
I miss your smile,
And I still shed a tear, every once in a while,
And even though it's different now,
You're still here somehow,
My heart won't let you go,
And I need you to know,
I miss you, Sha la la la la,
I miss you,
I know you're in a better place, yeah,
But I wish that I could see your face, oh,
I know you're where you need to be,
Even though it's not here with me,
I miss you,
I miss your smile,
And I still shed a tear, every once in a while,
And even though it's different now,
You're still here somehow,
My heart won't let you go,
And need you to know,
I miss you, Sha la la la la,
I miss you,
I miss your smile,
And I still shed a tear, every once in a while,
And even though it's different now,
You're still here somehow,
My heart won't let you go,
And I need you to know,
I miss you, Sha la la la la,
I miss you,
(I miss you.)
When I finished the song I had everyone clapping and cheering and Mrs. Jonas and Mikayla's aunt were silently crying.
"THAT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!" Lilly yelled.
"Thanks," I said. I was glad that I got that song out. I felt another idea come up, but I was too tired.
"And you said you couldn't play," Robbie Ray pointed out.
"Well, I can," I replied.
"She probably got it off the internet," Mikayla said. I was so ready to slap her, but everyone would yell at me because of her cast.
"NO I DIDN'T!" I told her.
"Yeah, you did. It's too good to be by you,"
"WHAT!? DO YOU WANNA SEE THE PIECE OF PAPER I WROTE THIS ON?!" I yelled at her while getting up.
"Don't worry Carley. We all believe you," Kevin reassured me.
"Except her," I said pointing at Mikayla.
"No duh," Miley mumbled.
"I'm tired," I said as I yawned. I was about to walk upstairs when Kevin said something.
"Ehhem!" Kevin coughed. I knew what he was talking about and smiled. I ran over to him, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and went to my bed.

Yeah. Chapter 11. Oh yeah. I'm tired. I have school tomorrow. Ugh. I'll update soon.
