Two months had past, and Loner's Friend was still writing songs for their album, but no song had actually appealed to them to be their album title, and according to Kwest a song that would complete their album were still missing.
Anna- Rita had just gotten her cast off the previous day, and it was now Saturday.
"Have you seen Coca's bottle?" Jude asked from the kitchen.
"It's in the nursery! I'll get it!" Max shouted from the upstairs. He came stampeding down the stairs moments later, skipping the last few steps and handing the bottle to his mom. Jude stuck it in the diaper bag.
They headed out to Jude's car, and drove to the park. Upon arriving Jude found Darius, Liam, and a few others from G- Major, as well Jude's parents, Sadie, Kwest, Patsy, Kat, and to everyone's surprise, Jamie. The teens were all out of site.
"Long time no see Amigo!" Jamie said giddily to Jude, as he have gave her a colossal hug.
"Technically I'm an Amiga," Jude smirked at one of her oldest friends, as she hugged him back.
Meanwhile...
Anna- Rita drifted off to find her boyfriend. She was still getting used to the whole boyfriend/ girlfriend thing. Sure she had had boyfriends before, but with James it was something completely different. Her heart danced every time she saw him, and she never felt nervous or shy when she talked with or about him.
"Hey," she said smoothly as she walked up to James. He was sitting on the table part of the picnic table on the waterfront (Yes, that one! lol!), guitar in hand.
"Hey," he said back, as she sat up on the table next to him, as they gave each other a kiss.
"And how are you doing? He asked.
"Good," she replied, "and you?"
"Good," he responded, as he strummed a chord progression on his guitar, then another one. He went on for a few more progressions, and finally just gave one big, hard strum, and set the guitar down.
"Can't get it right?" Anna- Rita asked.
James picked up his guitar, and strummed a few more chords; Anna- Rita noted that they were: Em, E, G, G, D.
"Here, let me see," Anna-Rita demanded, reaching for the guitar.
"Whoa! Chick with sticks plays guitar now too?" James asked. "And isn't a rule of fame 'thou shall not let the drummer sing'?"
"Surprised Andrews? I mean, every rule has an exception," Anna-Rita shot back flirtatiously.
"A little," James admitted, as she changed the chord progression a little: Em, Em, E, E, G, G, and D.
"It needs words," Anna-Rita commented dryly. The music is powerful, but it's not enough,"
"Hit me Quincy," James replied back. Using Quincy, James meant that Anna-Rita was a child of two brilliant singers and songwriters, and that her name had to reflect it. Like calling someone smart, Einstein.
"Right now I feel just like a leaf on a drift, who know where it' blowin,"
"Back up girl," James said. "Drift doesn't flow right. Let me try," James took the guitar back from Anna-Rita.
"Right now I feel- just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin'"
"That sounds like a thousand times better than the way I had them written," Anna-Rita remarked.
"It probably just sounded better when I added guitar," James remarked.
"It was definitely the way you had the lyrics written," Anna-Rita smiled.
"You got more?" James asked.
"Yeah,"
"Hook me up!" James said, snapping his fingers.
Anna-Rita and James worked on the lyrics for a couple of hours, and they didn't even notice when Jude called them to eat.
A few hours later they appeared at the other picnic tables; everyone there was laughing and joking around. No one was mad at Jamie, and even Darius had a slight smile on (or at least the closest thing Darius had to a smile).
"Hey Uncle Kwest," Anna-Rita said approaching her Uncle, "we have a new song for the album,"
"Let's hear it!" Kwest said, turning his head towards the two teens.
First, James began on some flaminco-esque guitar, then Anna-Rita's soft, strong voice came in, which was a lot like both of her parent's voices combined.
Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin
I find myself somewhere I - I never thought I'd be
Going round in circles
Thinking about you and me
How do I explain it when I don't know what to say
What do I do now - so much has changed
Nothing I have ever known - has made me feel this way
Nothing I have ever seen - has made me want to stay
but here I am - ready for you
I'm turnin', I'm fallin' - I hear my home callin'
Hey - I've never felt somethin's so strong - oh no
I'ts like nothing I've ever known
Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now
Right now I feel - just like a leaf on a breeze
Who knows where it's blowin'
Who knows where it's goin
Anna-Rita's voice faded out, and looked up to see everyone clapping.
"That's definitely the missing song on your album!" Kwest beamed.
"Just like that, a voice and a guitar?" Anna-Rita asked. She had never imagined such a great song, more or less a song that she helped create.
"Yeah," Kwest replied.
"And the lyrics are right you know," Marta told her best friend.
"What?" Anna-Rita questioned, "how?"
"Do you remember when we first got the recording contract?"
"Yeah,"
"We didn't know anything; where we wanted our music to go, we were the 'leafs on breezes', then 'so much has changed', 'our home was calling' aka tour when things went wrong, and that brings us here. Where we have no idea where we're going, or what's going to happen next," Marta explained.
"That makes sense," Anna-Rita agreed, "This business is sure 'like nothing I have ever known',"
