The next day Ellington arrives at our door. We give him a quick tour, then we get right to business.

"Give us a beat," Ross says.

Ellington twirls the drumsticks in his hands before gracefully pounding out a beat.

Everyone claps for him. Ross nods and starts handing out papers. "Our first song. It's called 'Without You'. Beatrice-I mean Raelyn and I sorta wrote this on accident."

Ellington bangs his drumsticks together six times, then we start. The guitar and bass blend into a soft tune. Riker starts.

"You're on my mind

Every night

And in the morning when I wake

Don't leave me lonely

Can you just hold me

Together before I break."

Ross and I start singing together.

"I just can't breath

Without you without you

I'm so lonely

Without you without you

I just can't be

Without you without you

Cuz today

You are all I need."

Next came Rocky's voice.

"There is something

I see in your eyes

Oh and it gives me butterflies

I just cant stop thinking

You make me weaken

Don't you know I will be true."

Everyone started singing along, even Ellington.

"I just can't breath

Without you without you

I'm so lonely

Without you without you

I just can't be

Without you without you

Cuz today

You are all I need

I'm going crazy without you (3x)

I just can breath

Without you without you

I'm so lonely

Without you without you

I just can't be

Without you without you

Cuz today

You are all I need."

As we finish we hear a slow clap. It is Rydel. "Clap clap clap. You guys are so good, you should play a gig."

Ross took it as a compliment. "Way ahead of ya. Already booked us one."

I spit out my water.
