AN: Third Chapter here. Hope you like it. Comments welcome. Sorry I didn't get to the song last chapter. May get to it this chapter may not but there will be a song in this fic at some point. Again, bad at writing song lyrics so don't judge.

Chapter 3:

Luna's POV

"I said leave her alone."

"You listen here-" He never got the chance to finish because I interrupted him stepping closer and backing him up with every word.

"No, you listen here. I do not like bullies especially when they are bullying my friends," did I really just call Sam my friend, well she is "so I want you to turn around and run on home. This will not happen again, understand?" I had almost pushed him up to the wall at this point.

"Whatever, not worth it." He turns to leave giving me one last sneer before running off. I let out a breath I had no idea I was even holding. I guess I was a lot more scared than I thought I was. After I made sure he wasn't coming back I turned around to make sure Sam was okay.

"I guess I should call you my knight in shining armor now." We both chuckled at Sam's statement. "I'm happy you showed up when you did." She looked down at her feet clearly trying to shield a blush.

"Yeah that's totally what happened." I wasn't going to tell her I had watched their entire conversation because that is just creepy. We stood there in a comfortable silence for a little and before I could stop myself from asking I just blurted out "Yeah I can walk you home if you want?" I cursed myself for being too forward but to my surprise she nodded and said she would like that.

She grabbed her bag out of her locker and I picked mine up from the ground and we headed out. While we walked we talked about different bands and types of music and I was really enjoying myself. Occasionally, our hands or shoulders would touch and I would feel fireworks. I wonder if she felt fireworks too. We settled back into a comfortable silence again. I wanted to ask her about that guy and I was afraid I was running out of time so I just went for it without warning.

"So who was that guy at your locker?"

"Oh he is no one." I was not happy and I gave her a look to continue and it seemed she got the message so she continued explaining who he was. "His name is Logan and he is a junior. I met him at a concert two years back and we became acquaintances I guess. We are definitely not friends."

"What did he want to talk about?"

"Well he asked me if I wanted to go on a date with him this Friday."

"And clearly you said no because no man in their right mind would act like that when a woman says yes to a date."

Sam laughed at my joke and her laugh became my new favorite sound. "Yeah, I guess I didn't even know him that well because I didn't realize how temperamental he really was. I don't know what he would have done if you hadn't of stepped in, so thank you for that."

"No problem. So where did he want to take you on a date?" I should probably stop asking questions, she probably thinks I'm some kind of stocker now.

"He asked me if I was going to the annual talent show and when I told him I was he asked if I wanted to go with him." I nodded in response, not knowing what to say now. "Are you going to the talent show?"

"Actually I am performing a song."

"Really what song? Is it an original or a cover?" Sam was starting to get excited about my performance. I found it endearing.

"It is an original. I have written most of the melody and most of the lyrics. I just need lyrics for the slower part of the piece."

"Oh that's great. I can't wait to hear it on Friday. I will be cheering you on the loudest." I smile and look down at my feet, I could feel the burning on my cheeks. We reached a small apartment, this must be Sam's house. "Well this is me, I'll see you tomorrow at school."

"Yeah I'll see ya." I waved goodbye to her and watched her walk into her apartment. I wonder what it would be like to live in an apartment. My family would never fit of course but I think it would be fun to know right.

When I got back to my house, which was surprisingly close to Sam's, I grabbed my axe and went straight to the garage. I really wanted to finish this song and make sure it was amazing. I was probably in there for three hours, time really flies writing music.

"Kids food is ready!" Lynn Sr. yelled.

Without warning a tidal wave of ten kids flew down the steps towards the kitchen. Each child rushed to their seats ready to fill their watering mouths with food.

About to start filling all the plates Lynn Sr. stopped himself, "Where is Luna?"

"Who knows, who cares, I'm hungry." Lincoln hungrily grabbed the dish out of his father's hands and filled his own plate. When it was piled high with food he passed it to Lori.

"I'm pretty sure she is out in the garage working on the song for the talent show" Lori said without looking up from her food. She passed the dish to Luan next.

"She must really want this song to be good. She is usually first at the dinner table." Luan states, then passes the food onto her other siblings.

"Well someone should go and get her, Lynn go" Rita pointed to the door to show Lynn the way.

"But Mom, I need to eat. I need energy for my baseball game tomorrow," Lynn whined.

"Go" Rita said with a strong tone in her voice. Lynn huffed but relentlessly got up from the table and headed toward the garage.

"LUNA!" No answer. "LUNA" Lynn could only hear music as a response. "LUNA!" Lynn yelled cupping her hands around her mouth to make herself even louder.

The music abruptly stopped and the garage door slowly raised up.

"What is it dude?" I asked, my voice full of annoyance with her interrupting my music session.

"Mom and Dad want to know if you are coming in for dinner."

"Nah, I need this song to be perfect. I only have a few more days to perfect it."

"You have never cared this much about this talent show before. What's got you all in a jumble?"

I sigh knowing I might as well tell her the truth. "Sam's gonna be there and I want to impress her."

Lynn just smiles in response. "You really like her, don't you?" I smile, not trusting my voice to give a proper answer. "I'll tell Mom and Dad you'll just heat up dinner, so you can keep working."

"Thank you" I'm about to slip back into the garage when she grabs my arm.

"Just make sure that you come in at a reasonable time, I don't want to be sent out here at midnight to force you to go to sleep."

"Of course sis. I'll be inside by ten, no later." I slip back into the garage, back to my music safe house. The song is almost done I just need to get the slow part right. The words just ever seem to relay the right picture. No matter what I try, it doesn't work. Time flies as I am staring at my page of lyrics. My eyes start to feel heavy and I look over at my phone. It reads 9:55. I should probably head inside. I can work on these lyrics in my room.

I pack up my axe and venture back into the loud house. Of course it lives up to its name. Lana and Lola are fighting over a doll, Lucy is what looks like trying to summon a ghost, and Lincoln is reading comics in his underwear. And that's just what is happening in the living room. I head up the steps and I almost get hit in the face with a flying soccer ball, which I assume came from Lynn's room. I assumed correctly because not moments later Lyn sprints out of her room chasing after her loose ball. I continue down the hall to see Leni changing Lily's diaper while Luan attempts to tell them jokes. Leni laughs because she is not any smarter to realize Luan's jokes are not that good. I peak into Lori's room to see her talking on her phone, most likely talking to Bobby.

I head towards my room. For a split second I wonder where Lisa is but right when I close my door I hear and feel an earth-shattering explosion.

"Don't worry I'm fine," I hear Lisa grumble. Clearly she is at her science bench trying to invent something crazy. Now that I am in my room I grab my pencil, guitar, sheet music, and lyric sheet and climb up to my bed. I get situated so everything fits with me on my little twin size bunk. Once I am comfortable I start strumming at the strings. They sound perfectly in tune. I strum the beginning part of my song and hum the words, just trying to feel the pace of the song. It starts out fast with a good beat then beings to slow to the more lyrical part – the part I am struggling to write – then ends with a reprise of the beginning melody.

I get to the slow part and my hands freeze. It just doesn't sound right. The notes don't string together like they usually do and the song lyrics are sharp and edged, not soft and smooth like I need them to be. I start fiddling with some of the notes and lyrics. I don't hear Luan come in, I'm too focused on the music.

"You still working on that song?" Luan asks

"Huh" I look up and see Luan looking up at me. Finally realizing what she had asked, "Oh yeah, I'm just trying to fix this last part."

"Let me here it."

"Really? You usually hate listening to my music."

"That is only half true. I do not enjoy listening to only your rock music but from what I heard when I walked in, this song didn't sound like rock."

"This song is more pop, and this is the lyrical part I am struggling with."

"Let me hear it, maybe I can tell you if its good."

"Okay" I give her a half smile, happy that she is willing to listen. I start right at the lyrical part. I play the first note, and it finally sounds right. I play the next and it sounds beautiful. The notes are mixing and flowing together unlike ever before. They did not sound like this in the garage and all my struggling to fix it had paid off. I decided to leave the lyrics out because I knew they weren't done yet. Also, they're really personal and I wanted to perform them for the first time in front of Sam. I strummed the last note of the lyrical part and let in resonate in the room. I breathe out, my chest rising and falling. I didn't realize how into the song I got.

"Well I don't know a lot about music but I would say that was pretty sharp, hahaha get it!"

I let out a sign and slight chuckle, just happy that I finally finished the instrumental part of the song. "Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. No I just need to finish and polish the lyrics."

"Are they about a certain person?" Luan wiggles her eyebrows.

"Oh shut up." I throw my pillow at her.

She catches it and throws it back up at me, "Come on, I want to hear it!"

"Well you can wait til Friday like everyone else. I want the first performance of this song, specifically that part, to be in front of Sam."

"Aww cute. Well I bet it will sound great."

"Thanks good night Luan."

"Night Luna." I stare up at the ceiling waiting for sleep to take me over. I hug my guitar closer, so excited to finish my song. It will just be amazing. My eyelids slowly flutter close at sleep takes me over. I can't wait for Friday.

AN: Hi everyone hoped you like it. Next chapter will jump to Friday after school, right before the concert and then you get to hear my horrible attempt at a song. Again, comments are welcome and chapter four will be up soon.
