Chapter Two: A little Lullaby

I hopped down the stairs as Jimmy opened the door for the pizza guy.

"Simon? Wow, when did you start working for Pizza Hut?" I asked, taking the pizza from him.

"Only recently. How've you been doing, sing any songs lately?"

"Hey, Simon, why don't you hang around for a bit. Dani here is going to sing us another song."

"She is?"

"I am? What song?"

"The newest one you've written."

"Grr…alright. Hold on while I get the lyrics." I stomped up to my room and grabbed the paper on the bed when I realized it was missing.

"Jason? Jason! I need that sheet of paper!" I whispered harshly.

"What's the price?" he asked, arms circling around my waist.

"Come on Dani, we don't have all night!"

"I know, I know. Give me a second to find them! Jason, give them to me." I growled as he lifted the sheet just out of reach.

"Nope, not without a payment." I smiled and grabbed his face with both my hands, kissing him harder than he kissed me. His hand moved from my waist to my back, pulling me even closer. I broke our kiss and looked up to him.

"Good enough?"

"Better than expected. We're going to have to do that again." He smiled, handing me the paper.

"Hang around for a bit, I apparently will be singing again." I smiled, waving to him. I stepped down the stairs and handed the lyrics to Jimmy.

"Here, see if I know it by heart." Jimmy nodded and held up the lyrics for Carson and his dad to see. I sang the song, closing my eyes and seeing my mom with me. I smiled as I finished and Mr. Trueheart smiled, patting Jimmy on the back.

"She's perfect."

"Perfect? Perfect for what?"

"Sing that song you sang at the festival."

"What, Sanctuary?"

"Yeah, that one."

"Dad, what is going on?"

"Mr. Trueheart here is a music producer. He needs someone to sing with his son, Carson."

"What! Like in a music video!" Jimmy nodded and I stood dumbfounded.

"One question, will I leave here?"

"Only for a few months, maybe a year at the most." I looked from Jimmy, to the stairs, back to Jimmy, then to Carson.

"I…need time to think. Do you mind?" I asked softly.

"No, not at all. Here's my number and the name of the company. Just say my name, you'll get through." He handed me his card and left as I walked upstairs. I closed the door and felt tears run down my cheeks. Jason was at my side instantly.

"What's wrong? I've hardly ever seen you cry now."

"They want me to do a music video with Carson."

"Sounds wonderful!" Jason smiled, but noticed my tears still spilt.

"But it means I have to leave for a year at the most. I don't want to leave any of you. You, Jimmy, Jen, Alex, Leslie, Simon. Any of them."

"Ah, that would be why the tears." I turned and buried my face into his chest.

"Did you ask if you could bring your friends?"

'No, I didn't think."

"You better ask him before he leaves." He smiled, looking out the window.

"Yeah!" I ran down the stairs and into the night.

"Mr. Trueheart, hold on!"

"Have you made up your mind?"

"I'll go on one condition."

"What's that?"

"I can bring my dad and my boyfriend."

"Sounds fair enough. We'll be by to pick you up tomorrow. Around three in the afternoon." He smiled and waved to my as the car pulled away. I looked over to Jimmy and smiled.

"You want me to come?"

"Of course I do. After all, you did encourage me." Jimmy smiled and headed inside.

"Are you going to tell Jason?"

"Oh…I have a feeling he already knows." I smiled, walking back inside. I bid Jimmy goodnight and headed up to my room. Jason was on my bed, arms waiting for me.

"Human moment, I need to change." Jason nodded and watched me walk into my bathroom. I grabbed my PJ's and changed into them. They were a light tank top and a pair of light, baby blue pants. I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth, then walked back over to Jason. I crawled into his arms and settled into them comfortably.

"Comfy?"

"Uh huh." I smiled, feeling my eyelids get heavy.

"Sleepy?"

"Yeah…" I trailed off, closing my eyes and falling into sleep.

"Night, Jason." I whispered.

"Goodnight, Dani my love." He kissed the top of my head as I fell asleep.
