Emma's POV July 18th, 2015

Cira sets up the camera in her room and I grip my guitar. My knuckles turn white from the tight hold on the guitar. We're doing our first cover for our channel. I'm 10 and she is 9 1/2. We recently started watching Austin & Ally together, we also started to learn the chords and lyrics to the songs.

"Hi, I am Cira Grey and this is..."She starts off.

"Emma Molina!"I introduce my self.

"Together we are Unknown Talents!"We shout in unison.

"Today we are going to be doing a cover of Better Together by Ross Lynch."I say with a little smirk. I start strumming the chords for the song, Cira hits the chords on her keyboard.

"Uh-huh oh oh, Uh-huh oh oh oh

Sometimes, I get in my own way
I need someone to say
"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Your words, they're always just in time
Just like a perfect rhyme
Like, you're not even trying

Like pieces of a puzzle
Without each other,
We're in trouble, trouble

Hey, I will always stay
By your side forever
'Cause we're better together

Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
'Cause we're better together

Uh-huh oh oh, uh-huh oh oh oh

Remind me when I'm losing touch
When I'm a little much
Pull me back to reality
You keep my feet on the ground

'Cause when you're not around
I feel I am floating

Like pieces of a puzzle
Without each other,
We're in trouble, trouble

Hey, I will always stay
By your side forever
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
'Cause we're better together

Like the waves need the sand to crash on
Like the sun needs a world to shine on
You're the bright side of every day
Me without you just isn't the same
It's not the same

Better,
We're better
Oh-oh
We're better together!

Hey, I will always stay (stay)
By your side forever (ever)
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever
We're better together

Hey, I will always stay (I will always stay)
By your side forever
'Cause we're better together
Hey, there's no other way
We'll make it through whatever (whatever)
'Cause we're better together

Uh-huh oh oh, uh-huh oh oh oh" We finish the songs with smiles. Cira gives a thumbs up to her brother to click stop recording and I fall back on her bed.

8 minutes later, the cover is uploaded to YouTube and we are editing our channel. For our profile picture it's a picture of the two of us laying on the ground in my room. The background photo is little pictures of us from the past 3 years. Even if Cira and I have only knowen each other since 2nd grade, we are best friends and nothing can change that. My phone blips and I look at the text from my dad. "Cir, I got to go before they get mad!"

"AWWWW! I want you to stay the night!"Cira whines.

"You know that my parents need me to watch my little cousin tonight, sorry Cir. See you at school!"I call over my shoulder, swinging my guitar case onto the opposite one and snatch my backpack. I run through the park that separates our two neighborhoods. Walking it would be 12 minutes, but running is 6 minutes. I barge through the front door and drop my bag and lean my case against the wall. "Hey Aunt Lily!"I wave.

"Hello Emma, Mack say hi!"Aunt Lily giggles, holding my 4 year old cousin in her arms.

"Hihi! Me Mack!"She says. I laugh and give her a small hug, considering she's being held. Mom walks in wearing her favorite purple dress with a rime stone belt.

"EMMA! I expected you to ignore that text because its all you do when your over at Cira's!"Mom jokes. I roll my eyes and wait for dad to walk out wearing a tux.

"Dang dad! You look sharp!"Mason says from his seat.

"Well all Adrien men do son!"Dad says. Even though they agreed on my moms name, he still uses that metaphor every so often.

"Whatever..."I roll my eyes again.

"Both of you, watch Mack like a hawk!"Dad says with a stern look.

"Sir Yes Sir!"Me and Mason say in unison. We share a goofy look secretly when he turns to talk to Uncle Dean.

"Make sure she is in bed by at least eight twenty five, one small scoop of ice cream, and make sure that she only has two hours of tv!"Aunt Lily says, mocking our dads commanding voice.

"Yes Ma'am!"Mason jokes with the politness. I hit his arm and he whinces.

"We will make sure of all that Aunt Lily!"I perk up after Mason finished his fake crying.

Cira's POV June 3rd, 2020

Me and Emma have come a long way from doing that cover of 'Better Together'. We have over 10 million subscribers, and 300 videos uploaded to the channel. Emma even started writing her own songs. I however, continue to just play covers and learn already written music. One week ago, Emma's dad got shot on the line of duty, and didn't make it out. She and her twin brother, Mason, are moving to L.A to live with their Mom's brother. Today, me and Emma decided to do one last cover of a song from Austin & Ally, Chasing the Beat of my Heart. I set up the camera in my room for the last time, pointing it at Em. She is sitting on my bed with her guitar sitting in her lap. With one last glance at her I nod for Adam to press the record button. "Hi UT's, this will be the last video we play together. As you know, I am Cira Grey..."I stop so Emma can introduce herself.

"And I am Emma Molina, together we are..."

"UNKNOWN TALENTS!"We shout.

"I can't believe that its been almost five years of this...I will miss this"I say.

"Me too Cir...today we are doing a cover of Chasing the Beat of my Heart by Ross Lynch!."Emma says with a fake smile. I know her way to well to be fooled by that smile. She strums the first cords and I add in my keyboard's sound.

"Chasin' the beat of my heart

Been counting every second of the day
I'm dying to be seeing your face
Wishing you were at the door
Can't take another minute more

Some way and somehow
I'm through anticipating, oh

Right here and right now, it's true
Instead of waiting, oh

I'm going home and I'm coming to you
Chasin' the beat of my heart
Heading for all that I knew
Chasin' the beat of my heart
Oh woah, you and I
Oh woah, together again
Oh woah, you and I
Chasin' the beat of my heart

No matter what I've done or where I've gone
You still have been where I belong
Been livin' in a merging sea
Because you haven't been here with me

Some way and somehow
I'm through anticipating, oh

Right here and right now, it's true
Instead of waiting, oh

So you can you hear it, c-can you hear it?
It's beating out of me, oh, oh, oh
Can you hear it, hey, hey can you hear it?
It's where I wanna be, oh

I'm going home and I'm coming to you (to you)
Chasin' the beat of my heart
Heading for all that I knew
Chasin' the beat of my heart

I'm following you and you lead
Chasin' the beat of my heart
Heading for all that I need
Chasin' the beat of my heart

Oh woah, you and I, together again
Oh woah, you and I
Chasin' the beat of my heart"The song comes to an end before I want it to. Emma leans her guitar on the wall and finishes off the video. All I can do is wish that non of the recent events have happened.

I walk Emma back to her house, her Aunt is driving Em and her brother to the airport. Emma puts her guitar in the back of the pick up truck with the four duffles: two duffles of her stuff, and two of Mason's. I hug Emma tightly, not wanting to believe that my best friend is moving 1,118 miles away from me. "Cira, you have to let me go..."Emma has a faint British accent. I lossen the hug until it is no longer valid to call a hug.

"I don't...why do you have to go?"I ask.

"My mom can't handle my dad's death and mine and Mason's grief at the same time."Emma explains for the thousandth time.

"You can stay with me!"I cry.

"I can't...I have to help Mason with his grief and he has to help with mine. That's how twins work Cira."Emma mutters.

"Fine...promise you'll call or text every night!"I say promptly.

"Promise! Do you promise to let me know everything that's going on?"Emma asks.

"Yup, shake on it."She takes my hand and shakes it lightly. Her aunt honks the truck horn and Emma gets into the truck. I had slipped a small box with a gift into one of her duffles when she wasn't looking. The truck drives off and I watch from the side of the road until it turns the corner. I wave one more time in hopes she would've seen through all the houses and trees. My first time walking home...alone. Good Luck Em...enjoy Los Angeles. I think to myself as I make my way through the park we'd spend hours walking around, talking about everything. The children on the playground stop to watch me walk through the park alone, they had just seen me walking Emma to her Aunts truck and said a goodbye.
