''So your in love with your sister?''

I looked down in shame and embarrassment. Eddie is Afro-American, tall, and very drunk. He is a good drunk, a mellow one.

''Whoa, that's heavy but you know what's heavier?'' Eddie asked.

I looked up at him with a 'really' look and he just shrugged.

''Hey, I got a way to ease your way too tense nerves.''

I gave him a small smile and urged him to go on. He picks up, one of many, wine glass and gets up on the ledge again. He turned and smiled at me for a split second then chucks the glass out towards the parking lot. A few seconds later I hear a crash. It's dark and I can't really see where it landed but it looks like fun. So, using the glass I already had I got on the ledge beside Eddie and throw mine too. Just like Eddie's I heard a crash.

''This is fun,'' I say.

''I'm the King of the World!'' Eddie yells at the night sky.

I pick up a glass and chuck it harder, its working. I'm forgetting about my current situation and I'm not getting drunk. It slowly fades away as I throw another glass.

''I RULE!'' I scream.

Eddie chucks another glass and does a little dance afterwards. I pick up the second to last one and chuck it as hard as I could. Instead of making a crashing sound like the others, it crashed into something making a louder crashing noise. It triggered a loud car alarm, which made Eddie crack up.

''Dude, whose car did you hit?'' Eddie asked between laughs.

''I don't know, but man I'm in so much trouble.'' I say, as get down from the ledge.

''Don't worry man, I'll pay for it,'' and with that he chucks his last glass of the roof.

Well security wasn't as chill as Eddie but as it turns out he is Vice President of the company. They took me back downstairs to the office area and into Mr. Brewer office. His office is huge and beautifully designed. I sat in one of the chairs in front of the large desk, waiting. Finally after a few short minutes Mr. Brewer walked in the office followed by Kim. I was as tense as ever, but when I saw Kim I calmed a bit. She walked and sat in the chair beside me, with a small smile.

''Jack, right?''

I stared at the ground, my jaw clenched.

''Young man, you answer me when I'm talking to you,'' he demanded.

I keep quiet so Kim answers for me.

''Calm down, he's just mad ma-''

''I wasn't talking to you, Ki-''

''Don't talk to her like that,'' I say, while standing up and getting in his face.

He looks me in my eye and his eyes get wide, ''you look...''

My fist ball up but Kim stands up and grabs my fist.

''Jack, what's wrong?'' she asked.

I open my mouth but no words came out. In frustration, I move away from them both. They both look at me with confused faces.

''Jack, I don't understand... what's going on?'' Kim asked, again.

''Yeah, you look like you lost somebody but you don't know how to tell-''

''Your my father.''

A piercing silence fills the room as they just stare at me like I've grown three heads.

''What?''

Kim moved a little closer and frowned, ''Zander's your dad?''

This time I frowned in confusion, she looked back at my father then at me. Mr. Brewer was standing not far from his desk, Kim was a few feet from him.

''Why did you call him, Zander?'' I asked, puzzled.

''Mr. Brewer here is my stepfather.'' Kim says.

The realization hit me like the roof caving in on my head. I just stood there dumbfounded with my mouth open, staring at them both. Mr. Brewer looked at me in horror then simply walked out the room. Kim looked at me, still confused, and walked up to me. With her finger she pushed my chin up until my mouth it's closed. She then whispered these simple words.

''Tell me later.''

Karaoke time! The reason I'm so excited because they're, the employee's, trying to get Kim to sing. Several of them said she has a beautiful voice, including Eddie. Who slipped me five grand for my trouble with Mr. Brewer. I told him I didn't need it but he told me he didn't need it either. So now I'm back in lounge and they set up the machine while I'm getting another drink. They were skeptical at first because I was throwing the glasses of the roof but Kim ensured them that it wouldn't happen, again.

''So who wants to go first?'' Eddie asked, looking right at Kim.

Kim was pleading with her eyes not to make her do it but Eddie had set out to get this done and he was. She finally gave up.

''Okay, Eddie but don't give me that 'you better do it' face.''

She grabbed the mic from Eddie as he used the remote to pick a category of the machine. He picked Pop songs then he chose Female artists. He was scrolling through the list when I snatched the remote from him. He looked at like he was going to protest but gave up, raising his hands in surrender. I laugh and look through the artists, I chose Taylor Swift. Then on to songs I chose one I haven't heard by her.

Yes, I will admit it I listened to Taylor a few times but I never was really into her. Her music is... similar. Kim looks a little like Taylor, their hair anyway. A certain songs catches my eye, Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift Ft. The Civil Wars.

Perfect.

I select that song and Kim finally notices and glances at me then at the screen.

''Taylor Swift Jack really?''

''What, Taylor is a babe,'' I said, with a smirk.

She rolls her eyes and moves in front of small crowd beside me. She takes a deep breath and nods at me. I smile and play the song.

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"

Her voice was like a spell enchanting me.

When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

I smiled so wide my face hurt.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

She glanced at me and smiled, making me feel special. I don't know why but I feel all tingly.

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on

I stare so intently as she sings, looking so flawless.

Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

I found myself humming, softly, along. The small crowd that was originally here has grown twice its size.

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [x7]

When she gracefully finished the song the room roared with applause. People cheered so loud Eddie and I had to calm them down.

Kim walked up to me after it was over, ''I'm good, right?''

''Good? You're amazing!''

She blushed and looked down, kicking at her shoes.

I love it when she does that.

''Uh, excuse me?''

I turned to meet two security guards, ''my boss wants to speak to you. privately.''
