A big family is a new concept to me, I mean on holidays it's usually, me, my mom, my dad, my uncle, rarely my aunt will come, and sometimes my parents invite a few people from the guild like Rufus, Olga, and Minerva, but family dinners consist of just me, my mom, my dad, and sometimes my uncle and now I'm part of a big family. For example, tonight is going to be me, Romeo, Wendy, Sam, Max, Braden, Macao, Cana, and Kyle. That's more people than I'm used to and there are more people that I'm related to, if you add Wendy's side there is: Natsu, Lucy, Nashi, Luke, and Layla. That makes thirteen people not including me. This is gonna be a big adjustment. Plus I've never had grandparents, both my moms and dads parents are dead so having a grandpa is gonna be weird.
I go in my closet and take my clothes out of my suitcases and start arranging them like I want. I finish arranging and then I pull out a light blue button-down shirt and a pair of dark blue capris. I brush my hair before checking the time, I still have about 30 minutes before we leave, so I open my closet and grab my guitar case. My music station consists of a music stand with paper and pencils so I can write; a guitar stand, and a stool. I take it over to the right corner of my room and sit down on the stool. I open up the case and pull out a few pieces of paper and I set them on the stand, then I pull out my guitar and a pick. I look at the pages I've been working on this song for two months and I just finished it two days ago so this is my first time playing it all together. I really like it, I wrote it about someone special in my life who is always there for me.
[AN: This song is originally by Demi Lovato and I don't think it's a guitar song, but just pretend it is.]
I pick up the guitar and start to strum, then I start to sing.
Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own
You'll change
Inside
When you
Realize
The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty of all
When you'll open your heart and
Believe in
The gift of a friend
The gift of a friend
I was so lost in playing that I didn't realize someone had opened the door.
Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
There through the highs and the lows
Someone you can count on, someone who cares
Besides you wherever you go
You'll change inside
When you
Realize
The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty of all
When you'll open your heart and
Believe in
The gift of a friend
And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground
You'll, you'll feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
And there's no signs leading you home
You're not alone
I'm so lost in my music that I don't even notice the person coming completely inside my room and shut the door, then sit down on my bed.
The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty of all
When you'll open your heart and
Believe in
When you believe in
You can believe in
I finish playing and I hear, "that's amazing did you write it?"
I look up to see Max sitting on my bed staring at me. "What are you doing in here?" I shriek. I wasn't ready to play that for anyone.
"Mom sent me to come tell you it's almost time to go and I'm sorry for intruding on your music you're just so good."
I smile at him and say, "really?"
"Yea, did you write that song for Nashi?" He asks.
I wonder how he knew, but I nod anyways.
"You should play it for her one day."
I blush and then say, "maybe another day, but I just finished it and I want to play it more before I perform it for Nashi."
He nods. "Well, we better get upstairs, before mom comes down here".
Right after he says that I here Wendy yell, "Max! Lori! We are leaving." I quickly put my guitar into it's case and Max and I bolt upstairs to see Romeo holding the door for us.
"Come on" he said as we ran through the door. Wendy and Sam were standing on the sidewalk.
"Max didn't you Lori we were about to leave?" Asked Romeo as we began walking down the street.
"I was going to but-" he began.
"It's my fault" I interrupted, "I was playing my guitar and Max didn't want to disturb me so he waited until I finished to tell me we were about to head upstairs when you called us."
"Is that true max?" Asked Romeo.
He nodded.
"Okay that's fine but next time don't take so long." He said.
He went to walk beside Wendy who was walking with Sam and Max and I walked behind them. "So I was wondering something." Said Max.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well I've started trying to learn guitar and I was wondering if you would help me?" He asked.
I looked at my little brother and said, "Well what type of music do you want to play?"
"Rock" He replies.
"So i'm assuming you have an electric guitar."
He nods.
"Well I've never played electric but I have an amp for my acoustic and it's the same notes, so I'll help you" I say.
His eyes light up and he says, "thanks Lori you're the best!"
"Your welcome just don't mention to anybody ok."
"Why?" He asks.
"Well most people don't know I sing or play so just don't mention it."
"Ok" He says.
We keep walking and then Romeo says "Were here."
We all turn to face a small white brick house. Romeo walks up to the door and knocks. I'm so nervous about meeting the rest if my new family. I hope today goes well.
