Hey, you guys. Sorry in advance for such the short chappie, but I've been really short on time. All song credits go to All-4-One. Hope you guys enjoy and review!
Anyway, back to this morning
Diana looked over towards me and smiled. I knew she was going to tell Michael about my singing sooner or later, so I just got up and started moving over to the door. Once I took a step, the doorbell began to ring. I didn't think about who it might be when I opened it, and was met with the appearance of Mrs. Katherine and Joseph. I stepped back both shock and respect, letting them come in.
I took a nice long look at the patriarch of the family. He looked stern, but then again, looks are not everything. I politely smiled as they walked in, not failing to notice the tension between father and son. I always saw them as two opposing forces, with only one common balence, Katherine. She was the person the both feared and loved, so I made it my goal to befriend her as quickly as 's eyes lit up when he saw his mother, and quickly dulled again when he saw his father, faking a smile out of respect.
"Michael."
"Joseph."
Joseph responded with a grin and turned back towards me.
"Who's the girl?"
I was about to answer him when Diana interrupted. "She's an old friend of mine along with her brother. They're gonna stay with us for a while."
Joseph looked at Travis and back at me and shrugged his shoulders. He and Katherine both greeted us. Michael let out a sigh of relief and proceeded to continue the conversation.
"So, Diana, you said you wanted to tell me something?"
"Oh, yeah. You and Janet might have some competition." Diana looked over towards me with a smile.
"Oh, really?" Michael responded. "Well, let's just see how good she really is."
My brother, at this point was laughing and taunting like all little annoying siblings do.
"Ha, Ha! You got to sing!"
I smiled at this. "Oh, yeah, well, get ready to laugh harder, 'because you're singing with me!"
"What, "Travis said as I pulled him over to where I was. I sat at the piano that was in the room and began to play the notes to the song. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and sang.
When I'm lost in the rain
In your eyes I know I'll find the
light to light my way,
when I'm scared, losing ground
When my world is going crazy
you can turn it all around
My brother joined me on the song, once he figured out what I was singing.
And when I'm down you're there pushing me to the top (Girl)
You're always there giving me all you've got
(Travis) For a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you
(April)For the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
(Travis) For everything you do
(April) for everything that's true
(Both) I turn to you
(Travis) When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you
and I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
'cause your love is so amazing
(April) 'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend
you're always on my side
Giving me faith taking me through the night
(Travis) For a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you
(April)For the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
(Travis) For everything you do
(April) for everything that's true
(Both) I turn to you
(Travis)For the arms to be my shelter
through all the rain
(April)For truth that will never change
(for someone to lean on)
(Both)But for a heart I can rely on through anything
For the one who
I can run to oh
(Travis) For a shield from the storm,
for a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you
(April)For the strength to be strong,
for the will to carry on
(Travis) For everything you do
(April) for everything that's true
(Both) For everything you do
for everything that's true
I turn to you
For those who have not heard this song by them, you might have heard it sung by Christina Aguilera. It is one of my favorites and also helps me get through a hard day. Read and Review!
