Adopted

Run to You

While on my laptop watching Pentatonix perform, I was told that someone was here to adopt. Good thing I was finished with that video. I was probably in a trance the whole time, Mitch killed it. He got on his knees! I really just want to watch that video again. I wish I was in Singapore at that time. When I fangirl I'm not screaming, I'm not jumping up and down, I stand in my place in awe. That's what I do when I fangirl.

I make sure to grab my iPhone and earbuds before I walk down the stairs. When I turn my head, I see the group of girls wearing very high skirts, crop tops, and a lot of make-up. I just shake my head in disappointment and I walk over to my corner. What? It's a very comfortable place to sit in and just listen to music.

Those girls wearing all that provocative clothing is just sad. I don't believe in trying to impress someone with what you wear, you should just impress them by being yourself. I'm just wearing a t-shirt, my dark blue jeggings, my jean jacket, my high top converse, and my black beanie. See easy enough, it's who I am and if they don't like me for who I am then that's their problem.

Apparently the person who is here to adopt is running a little late. It's not that big of a deal to me because it gives me more time to listen to Pentatonix in my very comfy corner. I leaned my head against the wall and started singing softly to On My Way Home by Pentatonix. I've always been able to sing, I just never let anyone know, only the people I trust know about my voice. People are very stereotypical, so they would always assume I can't sing, which to me is just rude.

While I was singing On My Way Home, I thought I heard a second voice, but then again I'm singing and listening to music so it could just be the music. I really at this point didn't care if there was someone else singing the song, it's too good of a song not to sing. The song was coming to an end and so was the trance I was in by listening to the song.

"You know, that's my song." Someone said sitting right next to me.

"Holy smokes!" They literally scared the heck out of me, whoever it was is now laughing very hard. I still have not looked to see who it is yet, due to my very recent heart attack. Once I was calmed down I looked to my left to see who it was and that was probably the best moment of my life. I was sitting next to Mitch Grassi and I practically even sang with him!

"You have a very beautiful voice," Mitch said as he calmed himself down from his fit of laughter.

"Thank you, and you have a way of scaring the heck out of people," I said chuckling.

"I try, I try. I just walked into the building 2 minutes ago and all I heard was your voice. Well, you weren't being loud it was just different from all the noise I was hearing, so it separated itself." He said smiling and then realization hit me.

"Wait a minute, you were the one singing with me!" So it wasn't the song it was him, the whole time.

"Duh." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. One of the girls came up to us, well more to me and she said...

"You can't sing." Welp, not much I can do with that one, so not true.

"Well then too bad because I love to sing. So if you don't want to hear me singing go deaf. It'll also save you some trouble from hearing me beat you at every fight you try to pick with me." She scoffed and walked away while Mitch was shaking his head at her.

"That was some sass you got there." He said a little impressed by the way I handled the situation.

"Is Mitchy here, impressed by my sass?" I said in a very childish voice. I tried to keep a straight face but failed miserably 5 seconds later because I was now laughing.

"Maybe, maybe not, but it shall never beat me." He said pointing to himself.

"You're probably right, but before you go to see all the other kids do you think you can do something for me?" I asked I'm really hoping he'll say yes. He nods his head, probably trying to figure out what I'm going to ask. "Can you sing a part of Run to You, please?" I asked, and his whole face just seemed to light up like a candle with a huge smile.

"A light in the room

It was you who was standing there
Tried it was true
As your glance met my stare.
But your heart drifted off
Like the land split by sea
I tried to go, to follow,
To kneel down at your feet

I'll run, I'll run
I'll run, run to you
I'll run, I'll run
I'll run, run to you

I've been settling scores
I've been fighting so long
But I've lost your war
And our kingdom is gone
How shall I win back
Your heart which was mine
I have broken bones and tattered clothes
I've run out of time

I'll run, I'll run
I'll run, run to you.

I'll finish the song later." He smiled, got up, waved then continued to walk away to wherever he's going. What the heck is that supposed to mean? I shrugged and got up to go to my room. The last thing I saw before closing the door was Aubrey jumping up and down like an excited child, but I couldn't see the reason.

10 minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. I walked over and opened the door to...

"I'll run, I'll run

I'll run, run to you, oh

I will break down the gates of heaven
A thousand angels stand waiting for me
Ooh, take my heart
And I'll lay down my weapons
Break my shackles to set me free

I'll run, I'll run
I'll run, run to you
I'll run, I'll run

I'll run, run to you" When he was done singing he had a huge smile on his face and he then held up a paper. It was an adoption paper, completely filled out, with his signature and the name, Skyler Lyric Grassi. I was in total shock for about 5 seconds and then ran up and hugged him.

"I told you I would finish the song later." He said as we were hugging.
