Birds fluing high, you know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I fee-

I really don't know what I'm saying but it is what it is

Let's get back to a thirsty ass hoe tryna get her way with a supposed straight girl

"This is weird, you know that right?" Fallon asked

"You say weird, I say trying to marry a girl that makes my heart run" Ember stated

"You're spying on her when you could simply go over there-"

"Shhh, I'm trying to listen" Ember hissed

The two friends were stationed behind a boulder, their fingers were the only thing visible at the top of the rock along with their eyes peaking over towards a familiar blonde that sat on the grass just a few feet away, taking shade under a tree

"All of this spying is making me hungry" Fallon groaned

"I just bought you pizz-"

"So!?"

"Oh for God sakes" Ember rolled her eyes before glancing them back over towards the girl

The girl was blonde from root to tip, born to bring more golden sunshine into this world with not only her smile, but with her voice. It showed too. It showed in those soulful golden eyes as bright as any gold yet so very warm

Ember could only see the girl from behind but the guitar in Gabrielle's hands were enough for her to imagine her expression. Those chords sang the language of the universe, those serenades that come to the heart in quietness and are born to us as a song. Ember could just imagine the passion written across Gabrielle's face

It was obvious that the blonde cared deeply about her music, she sung every song with such a grace that could only be achieved with practicing over and over. It was obvious that she tried day and night to make herself better, perhaps to defy the boundaries of everyone else and to push herself to limits that her parents might accept

She wanted to be more than good. She wanted to be the best

Maybe then her parents wouldn't see an amateur girl who gave up a career to sing on the streets for change and have a delusional mind that some random producer is going to walk up to her and hand her a record

She flipped her hair out into the light, a thousand shades of gold that made new mosaics each moment in the warm summer air. From afar you could say her straight hair was the colour of rich cream, but up close it was a chorus of hues, and Ember knew she would be addicted

Her voice filled the air without effort, like the waves filling holes in beach sand, the sound rushing in and around every person nearby making them stop and glance back to listen

Some react to the beat, others continue simply stood there and listened but all spoke to them in some manner

Before the notes filled the air every person was an island, with it they all felt the same tidal flows and the beginnings of togetherness feels warm

And the best part about it was Gabrielle wasn't even trying. It's was her simple warm up and tuning of her guitar, sounding almost inaudible yet it caught so much attention around her

It even took control of Ember's body like a genie, moving her out from behind that rock as she slowly walked towards the girl

"What are you doing!?" Fallon hissed as he watched his friend walk out
