Jordan- 11

Jordan was at school when she seen a flyer for the annual school talent show she never went for it because she always got stage fright. Her father, Erin and Justin encourage her to do it but she never did the last time she was on stage for a talent show she froze, she tried to sing but ended up running off stage and swore she'd never do another one again. Taking the flyer she looked at it thinking about it really hard she folded the piece of paper and put it in her backpack. School was now out for the day she walked out of the building the eleven year old scanned the area to see who was gonna pick her up and when she saw her father a huge smiled appeared on her face and ran straight to him.

Ever since Hank was released from prison he'd always pick his little girl up from school when he saw her running to him he'd have the biggest smile ever. Once she was in arm's reach he swept her up hugging her, being away from his little girl the past few months have been utter and complete hell so just to hold her for a few minutes it was everything he kissed her head then set her down.

"Ready to go Jo". Hank says

"Yup". The eleven year old replied.

The two got in the SUV and headed back to their house the entire time Jordan was thinking about doing the talent show but was afraid she might freeze again after that she swore she'd never get in front of another crowd again. Once the father and daughter were back home she went straight to her room and closed her door. Taking a deep breath she began to softly sing.

"Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see".

Hank was heading to his room when he heard singing coming from Jordan's room he got closer but she stopped singing. He remembered when Anna would sing to Jordan when she was a baby, it made him happy that Jordan had a trait from her mother.

Hank was making dinner when Jordan came down from her room holding the piece of paper that held the information for the talent show. She was in the doorway of the kitchen when she saw her father cooking.

"Dad you got a minute". Jordan said.

"Sure sweetheart what's up". Hank says, putting a towel on his shoulder.

"There's this thing at school but I don't know if I wanna do it or not".

"What is it?"

"A talent show, after last time I don't wanna freeze again".

"If you wanna do it Jo go for it, I'll make sure I'm there".

"Can Erin come too?"

"I'm sure she can if you ask her".

The father and daughter then ate dinner that night. By the next day Jordan had somewhat calmed down about the talent show she really wanted to it but and she was going to so she signed up, the eleven year old was excited to tell her father.

The school day was over and it was Erin's turn to pick her up she was outside patiently waiting till her car pulled up. Once she was in the car she strapped herself in.

"Erin are you busy on Friday?" Jordan asked.

"As far as I know I'm free, what's up kiddo". Erin replied.

"There's a talent show and I'm gonna be in it, I was hoping you could maybe come".

"Of course I can come Jo".

"Thanks Erin".

"Anytime squirt".

Friday came by pretty quick it was almost time for the annual school talent show, Jordan was wearing a simple red t shirt, black jeans and her red chucks. That morning Erin had done her hair in a braid. She was in the back part of the gym and saw that it was starting to fill up with parents, students, families, and more people. She felt her heart race faster and faster in her chest as she began to feel nervous all over again.

Hank was in the middle of an interrogation he kept checking his watch eyeing the time he needed the suspect to confess so he could leave. After what seems like forever the suspect talked and he was booked and processed. The older man headed to his office to grab his jacket when he ran into Erin.

"Ready to go". Erin said.

"Let's go". Hank replied.

Hank had told Trudy and Alvin so they were also gonna go to the show. They hopped in their cars and headed for the school.

Jordan was still in the back the talent show had begun luckily it wasn't her turn yet while she waited she kept peeking out there to see if her father and Erin arrived yet but sadly no. Hank was breaking every traffic law to get to Jordan's school they all arrived in record time.

As she waited on her father and Erin to show up she was still in the back, she was taking deep breaths trying to calm her nerves.

"Next up is Jordan Voight". The teacher said.

Hearing her name called made Jordan ten times more nervous but she went out taking her time. Once she was on stage the eleven year old was terrified she had her mouth open but her throat was dry her thoughts were broken as she saw her father, Erin, Trudy, Alvin and his family enter the gym. A smile appeared on her face as she began singing.

"We're falling into misery

Consumed by our inequities

We don't wanna live alone

So breathe your life into our bones

Blinded by deficiencies

These empty voids are all I see

Hidden in the crevices

There's a hope to breathe again"

After a moment Jordan's voice got louder and stronger as she took a hold of the mic.

"You say these wounds will only grow

If I don't stop and let this go

I give to you this withered heart of mine

Mind is racing, can't erase these

Twisted memories that chase me

Haunt me, I'm done

I'm lost I'm so far gone

Could there be something more that

We can rely on

We're falling into misery

Consumed by our inequities

We don't wanna live alone

So breathe your life into our bones

Blinded by deficiencies

These empty voids are all I see

Hidden in the crevices

There's a hope to breathe again"

She finished the song with a huge smile on her face as the entire crowd cheered and clapped for her the whole time she had her eyes on her family as she waved to them. Hank couldn't have been any prouder of his little girl at the moment, a proud smile was on his face the whole time as he clapped. A huge smile was also on Erin's face as well as Trudy's and Alvin and his family. They never knew Jordan could sing so amazingly well.

All the students were gathered on the stage as they were about to announce the winner, Jordan had her eyes locked on her family she knew she made them proud just by the look in their eyes she knew.

"And the winner is….Jordan Voight!" The teacher announced.

Jordan broke out in a happy smile as she covered her mouth trying to keep the sobs and laughter hidden she was handed the trophy. Once the show was over the eleven year old ran straight to her father, Hank got on one knee letting his little girl crash into. He hoisted her up hugging her tightly.

"I'm so proud of you sweetheart". Hank said, he then kissed her temple.

"Thanks daddy". Jordan replies.

"Jo that was fantastic". Trudy says.

"Who taught you to sing?" Lexi asked.

"I taught myself".

"You're amazing". Erin commented.

"Let's go celebrate, anywhere Jo wants". Hank spoke.

Jordan walked out holding her father's hand with one of hers and holding the trophy with her other hand. She got over her fear of stage fright. She fought through it just like she'll fight through every other obstacle in her life no matter how big, no matter how small she'll conquer it after all she is a Voight.
