I though I'd add this as a little bonus chapter. It's a songfic! Anyway, this chapter is dedicated to my grandfather, Jim, who passed away shortly ago. We all miss you, rest in peace.
Touching...
Thanks Cross.
Anyway, here you go.
Disclaimer: If you really don't get it by now, read the previous six disclaimers until it sink in. I don't own the song I Believe by Diamon Rio either.

Chapter 7: I Believe
Matt stared at the ceiling, thinking of what had happened today. He'd been kicked out of the band, and now he couldn't play gigs anymore. He closed his eyes and though of his grandfather, Rio, who had encouraged him to become a musician.
Every now and then
As soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you comin' back again
And it's like you haven't been
Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holdin' you and me
He knew he had made his grandfather proud when he first started playing. It made him feel close to the old man, especially after he had died of cancer a year ago.
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
Matt felt suddenly sad. He had always been close with his grandfather. They were very alike. Even now it felt like he was still there.
There are more than angels watchin' over me
I believe
Oh I believe
He smiled, hoping Rio was watching over him now.
"I miss you granddad, but I know you're in a better place. I'm doing better too. I've found someone I can truly love. He's perfect" he whispered.
Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Oh I believe.
Suddenly Matt felt tears falling down his cheeks. He was still smiling though, because he knew Rio was always with him.
"Goodnight Granddad. I miss you. I love you."
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh the people who don't see the most
See that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy then I am
'Cause I believe
There are more than angels watchin' over me
I believe, oh I believe.
Rio watched as his grandson fell to sleep, smiling gently.
"I'm happy for you, my grandson. I hope this love of yours will make you happy.
Every now and then
As soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you comin' back again
And I believe…
