''Whoa Brittany that was amazing!'' Kane compliments as the teen walks out of the recording booth, Katelyn nods her head in agreement bouncing their daughter in her lap and smiles brightly.

''I loved everything, the melody, the beat and the lyrics.''

''That was amazing sweetheart.'' Susan whispers as she kisses her cheek chuckling as she drops down on the couch beside her, she wraps an arm around her waist and smiles. ''How did you feel?'' She asks curiously feeling her body buzz.

''It was awesome!''

Kane chuckles at her outburst hearing his wife and Susan laugh too and leans forward bracing his elbows on his thighs. ''What made you write this song?''

''What is it called?'' Katelyn adds curiously.

''It's called road less traveled and the reason behind the song is.'' Brittany pauses to gather her thoughts and glances at the two women in the room. ''Well how often do the two of you look in the mirror to check if you look good enough to go out?''

''Too much to count.'' Susan murmurs, Katelyn nods her head in agreement and sighs.

''At least twice in one hour.''

Brittany nods her head as she hears her mother hum in agreement and sighs. ''We focus too much on how we look and allow people to talk us down whenever we have a bad day, I wrote this song with the help of my two best friends because they cheered me up after I left the football team and every single student turned their backs on me until they noticed that I am still around to help with plays just not out on the field during matches.''

''So you got bullied?'' Kane asks softly.

Brittany nods her head as Susan smiles sadly and sighs. ''Yeah they still try sometimes but I learned to ignore them, we live in a small town and the second my parents divorced the news spread around like a wildfire.'' She explains. ''The first three months it really got to me and I didn't want to go to school because of it, but one day both boys came over with their guitars and forced me to write a song and belt my feelings out.''

''And this song happened?'' Katelyn asks with a small grin.

''Not quite, the first two verses appeared.'' Brittany replies with a small smile. ''I added the others after a few dinners with my dad, he is against my dreams and wants me to take the path he prepared for me.''

''Hence the title.'' Kane breaths out. ''Instead of taking the path, he wants you to take. You rather take one, none of them traveled before.''

Brittany nods her head in agreement and smiles. ''Exactly and but it's always good to have a backup plan if music isn't made for me and if that happens, I rather follow into mom's footsteps and become a photographer.''

''Well it's amazing you have a backup plan, but judging your first song and the way you sing with such joy I don't think you won't make a name Brittany.'' Kane tells her. ''This is the first song you recorded and I don't quite know your voice range yet, but the high notes you hit on this one were on point and your voice is clear.''

''It was downright amazing girl.'' Katelyn breaths out, she chuckles as Kingsley squeals and bounces her in her lap. ''Baby girl thinks so too.''

''We will publish this one tonight and see how people react, are you free next weekend to record a few more songs? Eventually start on your first small album which contain like five songs?''

''Yeah I have five songs prepared.'' Brittany replies after she exchanged a glance with her mother and received her nod. ''I have a few songs written down, some still need a bit of work but I have the boys and I am sure they will love to help me.''

''Talking about the boys.'' Kane breaths out. ''I am assuming they took part of composing the instrumentals?''

''The three of us did.'' Brittany breaths out with a small smile. ''Jake is the drummer and Puck the second guitarist.''

''Hold up you play the guitar too?'' Katelyn asks surprised.

''Guitar, piano, drums.'' Susan lists up. ''They are also amazing dancers.'' She adds with a grin.

''Brittany?'' Kane smiles as Brittany turns to him and tilts his head. ''The artists signed to my label are allowed to pick out the people they want, we will start with that the second you are a bit known but I don't think we will have any problems with your voice here.''

''So.'' He continues as she just frowns in confusion. ''We can either cast people or if the boys accept and you wish for them to be in your band, I will be more than happy to pull up a contract for them.''

''Are you serious?'' Brittany asks a grin slowly pulling at her lips, the grin brightens the second Kane nods his head and nods. ''I will ask them, but I think they will love it.''

''Are you friends with a songwriter too?'' Katelyn asks chuckling. ''If so, you already have the people you need in your friend group Brittany.''

''I write my own songs.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''The boys might throw in some suggestions, but in the end everything on paper is mine.''

''How old are the boys?'' Kane asks curiously. ''And what are their names?''

''Noah and Jake Puckerman.'' Brittany answers. ''Noah is eighteen and currently in his Senior year close to graduating, Jake is Seventeen, almost eighteen and a Junior.''

''Brothers?'' Katelyn asks with a smile, Susan nods her head and chuckles.

''The three of them together go by triple trouble.'' She replies. ''I think the acting a fool part is about them.''

Brittany laughs and nods her head. ''Yeah the three of us together come up with some idiotic ideas but all within the law, we just act like major clowns whenever we are together and keep ma on her toes.''

''Well seeing that Jake is still underage, think we can meet here next weekend with their parents too?''

''Sadly no but I will be here and can sign for him.'' Susan replies. ''I have the guardianship of Jake but he lives with Noah.''

''Long story.'' Brittany breaths out as Kane and Katelyn both frown in confusion. ''Let's just say that compared to their parents, my dad is still a bit normal.''

Kane just nods his head and smiles. ''Well if your mom can sign for Jake and is allowed to, I see no problem.'' He glances at the time as his daughter starts whining and nods his head. ''I know baby girl it's almost bedtime for you.'' He turns to Brittany and smiles. ''I will publish the song tonight, I wrote your explanation about why you wrote it down and will add that to the description and also add some facts about you is that okay?''

''Yeah that sounds perfect, just no mentions about my hometown and last name right?''

''No those will stay a secret until your are eighteen or older.'' He reassures with a grin. ''Touring is also only around breaks and only for one to three days for now and within the US, as soon as I know more you will hear it though because you are still sixteen so it has to fit with your moms schedule too.''

''Oh I can still work while she sings, I will just take pictures of her on stage and publish that.'' Susan breaths out grinning.

Kane laughs and nods his head. ''That sounds like a plan, so for pictures for an interview, magazine or online I can contact you?''

''You definitely can.'' Susan breaths out. ''I already have a portfolio filled with pictures of Britt and the boys.'' She chuckles as Brittany yawns at the same time Kingsley whines and smiles slightly. ''I think it's time to call it a night, you have school tomorrow honey.''

''Yeah it's time to tuck baby girl in too.'' Katelyn agrees as they all stand up, she turns to Brittany after shaking Susan's hand and holds it out for her to shake with a grin. ''Brittany it was a pleasure to hear your talent live, it's even better as the video my uncle had send me the day he found you in the karaoke bar.''

''It was nice to see you again too Katelyn.'' Brittany replies kindly as she shakes her hand, she taps Kingsley's nose gently and chuckles as she squeals. ''And to meet you little one.''

She turns to Kane and firmly shakes his hand with a grin. ''Thank you again for this amazing opportunity Kane.''

''Oh it's our pleasure Brittany.'' Kane replies with a grin. ''Enjoy your week, see you next weekend alright?'' He asks after shaking Susan's hand.

''See you next weekend.'' Brittany confirms with a grin after she grabbed her jacket and mothers purse, she follows her out of the studio after wishing the Brown's a nice week and blows out a deep breath as soon as she exited the building.

''Tired?'' Susan asks chuckling as she yawns again, she unlocks her car as Brittany just hums and opens the door for her. ''I am so proud of you Britt, the song was really amazing.'' She whispers against her cheek after kissing it. ''Let's get you home and into bed, you still have school tomorrow.''

Brittany just nods her head sliding into the car and leans back after putting her seat belt on, she smiles tiredly as she hears her mom humming the melody of the song she just sang and closes her eyes knowing they will get home in an hour and a half.

The next day.

Brittany yawns as she walks into the cafeteria after three boring hours filled with boring teachers and looks up as she hears someone yell her name, she laughs stumbling back as Jake tackles her in a hug and sighs in relief as Puck manages to slide right behind her preventing all of them to fall.

''Damn J.'' She grunts out as he hugs her tightly. ''Loosen up.''

''She doesn't know yet.'' Puck states with a chuckle, Jake snickers as Brittany pulls back with a confused frown and nods his head.

''As clueless as ever.''

''What the fuck are the both of you babbling about now?'' Brittany asks with an eyebrow raised. ''Wait hold that thought, I need food.'' She breaths out trying to walk to the line of students waiting to grab a sandwich.

''Gotcha.'' Jake murmurs nodding his head to their table as he holds her back. ''We already grabbed something for you.''

''Did you check your phone this morning or the past three hours?'' Puck asks curiously as he leads her to the table, he chuckles as she just shakes her head and slides the tray they grabbed for her over. ''Check it.''

Brittany frowns in confusion taking her phone out after taking a bite of her sandwich and raises an eyebrow as she sees nine messages waiting for her, she tilts her head opening the seven messages from Kane and blinks as she slowly reads it.

From Kane Brown: Well damn, I know you have school but if you have time check Twitter.

From Kane Brown: And Instagram, Kate had to make an artist profile for you, I will send you the log in details.

She bites her lip as she sees the next three messages containing the details and gasps softly as she reads the next two she received.

From Kane Brown: Holy hell Brittany, 96.3 new country and 93.7 kiss country are playing your song on their sender.

From Kane Brown: 98.7 and 103.3 too, you are a hit girl congrats!

She exits the chat after thanking him for the update and telling him that she can't believe it and opens the two messages from her mom waiting for her.

From Mama: Fucking hell baby girl I just heard your song on the radio! I am so goddamn proud of you! Ask the boys over for dinner tonight, we have to celebrate!

From Mama: Just received a call from Kane, Britt he told me that none of the newcomers he signed managed to reach radio after releasing their first song. You just captured the interest of four senders and a hell of a lot of people, Katelyn told me that she had to make an Instagram profile for you and that Kane send you everything so you can log in too.. I can't even tell you how proud I am right now!

To Mama: This is a dream right?

She drops her phone after sending her reply and looks up at the boys. ''Boys.''

Puck stands up the second he hears her voice waver and slides behind her, he leans down to hug her tightly and kisses her temple. ''I am so fucking proud of you B.'' He murmurs knowing she doesn't believe it quite yet. ''We all told you to fuck those haters and follow your dreams, look where it has led you now.''

''Four fucking radio senders B.'' Jake breaths out grinning proudly as he hugs her right after Puck stepped back making sure he keeps his voice low. ''Four!'' He repeats proudly. ''So fucking proud of you girl.''

Puck takes out his phone as it buzzes and smiles slightly as he reads the message he just received from Susan, she sits down beside Brittany and raises an eyebrow. ''You have clothes on that can get dirty?''

He stands up as soon as she nods her head and holds out his hand. ''Come on, you too J.''

''We still have school Puck.'' Jake whispers in confusion as he follows him towards the exit of the school chuckling as Brittany just stumbles after Puck as he continues tugging on her hand.

''Nope mama P will call and excuse the three of us, B needs some speed to get rid of the jitters.'' Puck replies unlocking his truck, he opens the door and throws his backpack into the back. ''Hop in, I am sure some of the crew are already hitting the track now that it's muddy.''

Brittany hops into the back leaving the passenger seat for Jake and leans back after taking off her jacket, she grabs one of the ties she keeps in Puck's car and ties her hair up into a high ponytail after putting her seat belt on. ''Mom definitely knows what I need, gun it Puck.''

''You telling them?'' Jake asks grinning as he turns in his seat to look at her.

''Well T already knows, if she is around I will.'' She takes out her phone as Jake just turns back to watch the road with a big grin and opens the message she received from her mom.

From Mama: You and the boys are excused for the last few hours, go to the track and enjoy Britt please be safe though. I will make us some lasagna tonight and grab your favorite ice cream, the boys can stay over even though it's a school night.

''The both of you want to come over for dinner and crash at the house?'' Brittany asks looking up from her phone. ''Ma told me to invite you.''

''Won't say no to mama P's cooking and hanging out with the both of you.'' Puck replies grinning.

''I'm in.''

She chuckles hearing Jake just chime in and turns back to her phone.

To Mama: They will both come over, thank you for excusing us ma. Love you.

''Holy fuck, the whole crew is here.'' Puck breaths out laughing as he sees the cars cruising around, he honks twice announcing their arrival and laughs as they all immediately hit their breaks mud flying up all around them. ''Oh I will hate cleaning my car tomorrow.''

''We will help.'' Brittany breaths out patting his shoulder, she slides out of the car as soon as two cars pull up next to Puck's truck and smiles brightly as everyone just honks and yell their names.

''B!''

She stumbles back as Mike and Tina reach her first and grunts as her back collides with Puck's truck. ''Easy nerds.'' She grumbles laughing. ''Sup nerds.''

''Yo stop hogging her, our turn!'' Marley, Madison, Ryder and Sugar exclaim after they hugged the boys.

Brittany laughs hugging the four of them as they all swap places and shakes her head. ''Don't you all have school?''

''You can feel that it's raining right?'' Ryder asks snickering. ''Suddenly we all had bad headaches and had to go home.''

Brittany just shakes her head and laughs. ''Get yourself a mom who calls and excuses you.'' She tells them smirking. ''Mom just called the school and excused the three of us telling Puck to drive here so I can let loose a bit.''

''Does letting loose have anything to do with what we heard this morning?'' Mike asks smirking, Tina nods her head and hits her arm hard.

''Yes bitch, why didn't you tell us?!'' She squeaks out the other girls chiming in.

''I have no idea what you are talking about.'' Brittany grunts out trying to keep a straight face, she rubs her arm and grimaces. ''Fuck T.''

''You don't?'' Marley asks with an eyebrow raised, she reaches into her car and turns her radio louder. ''And what is this?''

Brittany smiles shyly as soon as she hears her own voice filter through the three speakers Marley has in the back of her truck and rubs the back of her neck. ''Well that would be my song.''

''Do you know how close we all were to crashing our cars this morning after we heard it?'' Marley asks grinning, she steps closer to hug her tightly and chuckles. ''It's fucking amazing B! Congrats.''

Puck laughs as Brittany starts blushing the second everyone compliments her and pats her back. ''Alright nerds, let's cruise around and enjoy the track!'' He laughs as Brittany immediately perks up and holds out his hand. ''Come on B, back or wheel first?''

''Back.'' Brittany breaths out placing her right foot onto the back tire after Jake hopped on, she easily climbs onto it as soon as Puck boosted her up and walks over to Jake grinning as he pats her back. ''Thanks J.'' She murmurs as he hands her a pair of goggles, she grabs onto the rail attached to the trucks roof after putting them on and smiles as Puck takes off as soon as Jake slammed his hand on the roof.

She laughs as the engines roaring loudly is the only thing she hears above the girls squealing and just throws her head back enjoying the cold wind and mud hitting her skin, she tightens her hold on the rail as Puck races up a small hill hearing Jake cheering loudly and chuckles as she sees a large puddle underneath. ''Hold your breath!'' She yells.

She lowers her head feeling Jake's right arm wrap around her shoulder knowing he is just making sure she won't lose her hold the second they hit the puddle and takes a deep breath hearing Puck's warning honk, she gasps, shivering as cold water soaks her just seconds later and laughs as she hears Jake's laughter near her ear.

She feels him pull back not noticing Tina and Mike just driving beside them recording everything and high fives Jake as soon as Puck jumped on the brakes, she jumps off of the back as Puck opens his door and smirks as he just mentions his hand inside while scooting over to the passenger side holding his phone. ''Gun it B.''

She immediately takes off after putting her seat belt on and drives up the hill once again, she smirks as she hears Jake's loud laughter and drives through the puddle once again making sure to hit the deeper end.

''Drift B!'' She glances in the rear view mirror the second she hears Puck's command and smiles as she sees that Jake climbed into the back through the back window, she pulls the handbrake after making sure both boys has their seat belt on and expertly turns the wheel in her hand snickering as a wave of water and mud hits Mike's car the second she stops right beside him.

''Hey guys?'' She asks loudly as she drives off once again making sure to drive through all the puddles on the track.

''Sup?'' Jake asks leaning forward until the seat belt holds him back.

''How would you feel about forming a band again?'' She asks drifting around the track, she smiles slightly as Puck turns to her in surprise and shrugs. ''The both of you composed most melodies of my songs with me, I don't want to take all credits.'' She explains.

''Kane told me I can form my own band and hire a songwriter if it's needed, I don't need anyone but the both of you so.'' She pulls the handbrake once again feeling the car skid to a stop and turns to look at them as soon as they stand still. ''You guys want to join me?''

''Ya sure?'' Puck asks as Jake immediately nods his head with a big grin.

''I am Noah.'' Brittany confirms knowing the use of his first name tells him that she is deadly serious. ''Without the both of you and ma I would have never allowed myself to dream that this would happen, the both of you work just as much on the songs as I do and I think I will fucking love knowing I have the both of you in my.'' She lifts her fingers to air quote herself and smiles. ''Team.''

''Fuck ya B!'' Jake breaths out with a bright grin.

''You found yourself a band B.'' Puck breaths out patting her thigh hard. ''I think the both of us will love seeing you in action and you know we love jamming with you.''

''Awesome.'' Brittany breaths out grinning as she swaps places with Jake, she leans back in her seat after putting on her seat belt and looks down at her clothes chuckling. ''Mom will kill us.''

''Yep.'' Puck breaths out laughing. ''But it's fun.''

''It sure is, I am thinking about asking Kane later on if I can cover country roads.'' She breaths out biting her lip. ''Think we can pull that off?''

''Hell yes we can.'' Both boys exclaim in unison.

''People will love that B.'' Jake adds grinning as he stops right next to the crew, he turns to his brother and smiles. ''I think it's time to head home before we need hours to get clean.''

Brittany laughs as the crew just waves knowing none of them will hug whenever they are dirty and nods her head, she watches Puck and Jake quickly swap places and sighs. ''We definitely need a road trip again boys, now the three of us have our license so we can drive further away.''

''I am down, when?'' Jake asks excitedly.

''Let B get settled first and let's see how our plans look, we will be joining her so our weekends will be packed too J.'' Puck breaths out laughing. ''I am sure we can go on one soon though, but let's go camping soon too.''

''In two weeks from now?'' Brittany asks shrugging. ''We can ask ma and if we meet up with Kane, we can go after the meeting.''

''Sounds perfect B.'' Both boys agree grinning, Jake leans forward as Brittany just smiles and turns the radio on laughing as he hears the song she recorded. He glances at the sender and shakes his head with a proud grin.

''And that makes five.'' He exclaims chuckling. ''011 Today's country discovered you too B.''

''It feels like a fucking dream.'' Brittany breaths out sliding down her seat with an amazed grin. ''This is really happening.''

''It really is.'' Puck agrees with a big smile. ''Start enjoying it Britt because this is your life now.''

''It sure is and it's amazing to experience it with you.'' Jake agrees with a big grin as Puck parks his car in front of the house, he turns around and pats her leg. ''Come on let's clean up and enjoy dinner with your mom.''

Brittany nods her head with a grin and takes off her seat belt, she slides out of the car boots stomping on the ground and chuckles as dirt immediately cover it. She unbuttons her plaid shirt as she walks up to the front door making sure to shake off most of the dirt and opens the front door grabbing the laundry basket her mom always places beside the door whenever they went to the track, she throws it in and turns to the boys holding it out for them. ''Garage?''

She follows them to the garage as they nod their heads and walks in, she immediately walks through to the washing area knowing the boys will change behind her mothers car and grabs the shorts and shirt she placed aside for her to change into.

''Don't forget to wash your hair!''

She chuckles hearing her mom yell and smiles as she hears the boys laugh. ''We won't!'' she replies grabbing the water hose, she throws it towards the car and quickly grabs one of the dirty towels laying around to wrap it around her body. ''Can you hold it up Puck?''

''Sure, come here.'' Puck replies grabbing the hose, he turns the water on making sure it's warm enough and holds it up so Brittany can quickly wash out her hair. He turns to his little brother as soon as he made sure she got rid of all the mud and chuckles. ''Thank god Susan created an area where we can leave the mud to dry, remember Brett's roses suffering just a few years ago?''

''God I thought he would kill us.'' Jake breaths out laughing. ''Cruising around in the dirt is and will always be my favorite thing to do with the both of you.''

''Same.'' Brittany agrees as she appears back by their sides after getting dressed. ''Come on I am starving, mom made lasagna.'' She laughs as they both perk up and takes the hose from Puck after he turned the water off, she rolls it together and stores it away giving the boys enough time to get dressed.

After throwing their clothes in the washing machine and turning it on, she follows them into the kitchen humming softly as the smell of dinner hits her nostrils and immediately walks into her mothers embrace closing her eyes as she just kisses her forehead murmuring how proud she is.

She kisses her cheek thanking her softly and sits down beside Puck smiling as she eyes the plate of food in front of her, she snickers as both boys immediately dig in the second her mom just nods her head telling her they can eat and takes a sip of her coke enjoying the feeling of having everyone she loves sitting around the table close to her.
