*Sorry about the long wait! Who knew my junior year would be so hectic!
I'll try to update more now.
Hope's POV
"Dad!" I yelled from upstairs. "Where's your guitar?"
"In my closet honey, where it always is," he said with a laugh.
I sighed. "I already looked there." I opened his closet again, and felt embarrassed. There it was sitting right in the middle. "Um, never mind, found it!"
"In the closet?" I turned around and there was my dad. I blushed.
"Yeah." I got the guitar, went to my room, picked up my spiral, and headed downstairs. "Alright dad, are you sure you can't make it tonight?"
He sighed. "Yes sweetie. I have a lot of work to do tonight." He gave me a kiss on my head. "Just try to be home no later than 11:00?"
I smiled. "No problem Daddy. I love you."
"Love you to dear." He went to his study as I headed out the door to his camaro. I placed the guitar in the backseat and got in the driver's seat. I backed out of the driveway and headed towards Lenoxville.
Jordan POV
I was standing outside as I saw Hope coming out of her house. She was placing something, wait, it was a guitar, in her dad's car. I stepped inside and told my mom I was going out, and then headed towards my car. I got in and started to follow Hope. I was wondering why we were headed to Lenoxville. What could she be doing here? She pulled into a coffee shop place called Mo's Beans. She got out with her guitar and book in hand and headed in side. I pulled a distance away from her and walked in a distance away from her. I walked in and heard a chorus of "Hey Hope" and "Glad to see you." She gave a smile and talked to nearly every person. I took a seat kind of close to the back as she went up to the stage.
Hope POV
I got my things together and got settled down to play. I turned the mic on and spoke into it. "Hello everyone!" There was a chorus of hellos. I smiled. "Glad to be here with you. I have a few new songs for tonight and as always, I'll do request. So, lets get started. Here's a song I wrote for some friends' of mine wedding." I started playing on the guitar and began singing It's Gonna Be Love. After that song, I sang two more songs and then I was ready to sing a new song I had just written. "This next song is the last new one I'll play. I wrote this a couple of days ago. It's a song to my future husband and it's nearly like a promise to him that he will have me completely." I got situated and started the song.
I'll give my all, or not at all
There's no in-between
I'll give my best, won't second guess
This feelin' deep in me
You make me want to love you
With every breath I'll love you, endlessly
I'll give my heart, give my soul
I won't hold back, I'll give you everything
All of me, completely
You fill me up with your love
Oh, I just overflow
When we touch, can't get enough
And I want you to know
You make me want to love you
With every breath I'll love you, endlessly
I'll give my heart, give my soul
I won't hold back, I'll give you everything
All of me, completely
You make me want to love you
With every breath I'll love you, (oh) endlessly
I'll give my heart, give my soul
I won't hold back, I'll give you everything
All of me, completely (Author's note: Song credits go to Jennifer Day)
Jordan POV
Again, I was in awe of Hope's voice. And that song! The only thing that kept going through my head was I want to be that person. I tried to get that thought out of my head. Jordan, she's the preacher's daughter. She's gonna marry a minister, so just forget about. You're not good enough for her, but I couldn't help but long to be that person. After to song, Hope looked at her watch.
"I hate to tell y'all this, but I only have time for one request. So, what will it be?" She looked around, and I piped up really quick.
"How about Cry?" She looked towards the back and her mouth kind of dropped a little bit, but then regained her composure.
"Sure." She began to play again. I thought back to the play and what I felt the first time she played that. She finished, said thank you, got her things together, and walked back to where I was.
Hope POV
I won't lie; I was completely shocked that Jordan was there. After I was done, I walked back to where he was. "Hey," I said with a smile.
"Hi." He gave a smile that made me slightly weak in the knees. "Once again, you did amazing! You're really great!"
I blushed. "Thanks. Um, how did you know I would be here?"
He began to blush. "I saw you leaving and I kind of followed you."
"You know, I can have you arrested for being a stalker." I began to laugh and he did to. I looked at my watch. "Well I have forty five minutes to be home, and it only takes fifteen minutes to get back. Do you want to talk outside for a bit?" (I have no idea how far away the two cities are.)
"Sure." We walked outside to my car. "So, what you want to talk about?"
I took a deep breath. "Well, I don't mean to pry, but what was wrong with you a few weeks ago?"
He started to shift from foot to foot. "I'm really not sure if I want to talk about it."
I could tell that tears were forming in his eyes. "That's cool, but I'm always here if you want to talk." I waited for him to reply.
"Hope, you'll probably be the only person who would understand." He took a deep breath.
"What is it Jordan?" I was not at all prepared for Jordan statement.
"Hope..my....mom......she has leukemia."
