Two uploads in one day? What is this? Don't expect this to happen again. I was just really ahead in my notebook and I had the time so why not :) Sorry that this chapter jumps around a lot. I didn't want to write all the details or it'd be crazy long.

*Ten Years Later*

“Carolyn Rose! Get down here. You’re going to be late for school.”

“Calm down, mom. It’s 7:30. School doesn’t start until 8:45.”

“You spend all of your time listening to that stupid band.”

“Mom!” My ten year old came in to my line of sight. “Marianas Trench is not stupid. They’re perfect angels.”

“They’re my age. You don’t stand a chance.”

I stared at her. Those eyes that made my heart melt.

“Mom. MOM!”

“What?”

“Did you hear a word I said?”

“Did you hear a word I said?”

“No. I was distracted.”

“I said you should give them a chance. You might like them.”

“Later, honey. You need to go eat.”

“Did you know: I have the same last name as the lead singer? It’s fate, mom.”

“It’s never gonna happen.”

I followed her into the kitchen.

Our house was small but it was enough for the two of us.

Carolyn put her iPod on the docking station in the kitchen.

Music started blaring out of the speakers.

I could be your perfect disaster

You could be my Ever After

“Is this Marianas Trench?”

“Yep.”

That voice.

My heart stopped.

That voice sounded so familiar.

I grabbed my laptop and went to Google.

I typed in Marianas Trench.

I went to images and went to the first one.

“No way.”

“What?”

I looked from the picture to my daughter and back.

“Nothing, honey.”

I went to YouTube and typed in Marianas Trench.

“Turn your music off real quick, honey.”

When silence filled the room, I clicked on the first video.

“You’re watching a Marianas Trench music video?!”

“I’m doing research, honey.” Really, I was.

“About what?”

“I can’t tell you right now, honey.”

I watched as the love of my life danced around like an idiot.

“Is the lead singer’s name Josh Ramsay?”

“Yes. Mom, how do you know this?”

“I’m from Vancouver. We went to the same school until Grandma Stef and I moved to Virginia.”
