"Thanks for the ride," I mumbled to Gage as he unlocked the car door with a deep chuckle.
"Anytime," he replied, as I pushed the door open, thankful that I had made it out alive.
"We'll see about that," I told him with a roll of my eyes and slammed the door shut.
I walked up the pathway, to get to my front door and heard his car zooming down the road, away.
I let out a big breath and twisted my keys into my front door.
"Oh, honey! Your home!" I heard my Mom's voice call from the kitchen,
"Where else would I be?" I questioned making my way into what looked like hell's kitchen, and not the t.v. show.
"Whoa, Mom what's going on here?" I walked over to the oven where she had stuffed some kind of turkey into it.
Oh no, Mom never cooks a dinner like this unless we have guests coming over.
"Oh, I invited the Archer's over for dinner." She answered, nonchalantly.
I narrowed my eyes at the helpless chicken that was browning in the oven at the moment.
"Why?" I asked, when she let out a laugh I turned to her as if she were crazy.
"Well, I was outside gardening, and I saw Mr. Archer. Must have been on his way to work or something, and since I didn't want to be rude I said 'Hi' and he replied with a 'Hi...." I really didn't want to listen to her go on about this,
"I'll go get ready!" I suggested so I didn't have to hear my Mom go on and on and on.
"That would be great, be ready in 20." She said, totally forgetting about what she was going on about making my plan an effective one.
I ran up to my room and slipped on a purple, flowy sundress that had silver sequins going down the right side and left.
I decided to ditch the make-up since it was just neighbors and went downstairs to finish homework while I waited for a dinner that would be one to remember.
^^^^ @Sam_IAm
When my homework was completed I eyed the clock. I still had about 10 minutes. My eyes slid toward out grand piano. Before I could stop myself my fingers had already hit the keys.... Oh crap. Why oh why did my mother's love for music have to rub off on me. I hate Genes.... And DNA..... And hormones of a female girl.

Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low.
I'll get you through it nice and slow,
When the world's spinning out of control.
Afraid of what they might lose
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
You could beg them, what's the use?
That's why it's called a moment of truth
"I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you don't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
Funny when times get hard,
At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
Always on the longest yard,
Oh, they feel their feet getting cold.
Hiding here, hiding there,
Find them underneath the stairs,
People hiding everywhere,
Trying to be still like a stone.
I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
My aim is so true,
I wanna show you,
I'll try forever,
I'm never gonna say "surrender".
I'll get it if you need it,
I'll search if you can't see it,
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
I know you don't believe it,
But I said it and I still mean it,
When you heard what I told you,
When you get worried I'll be your soldier.
I'll be your soldier
Well I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier"
I finished of with the Eb chord. A slow clap sounded behind me.
"Who knew the nerd could sing like a bird. Isn't that right Hummingbird?" I winced at the voice of the one and only Gage Archer.
"Shut up....you weren't supposed to hear that... No one was..." I said.
"Why not. I mean you're great." Gage rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean you're-"
"KIDS TIME TO EAT!!" A chorus of voices sounded from the dining room.
"Prepare to meet the end of life." I muttered.
We walked into the dining room reluctantly and sat down in the only two seats available. Right. Next. To. Each. Other. Could life get any worst?
Gage shot me an endearing smirk. I looked away only to feel a jab in my side causing me to leap. I glared at Gage, the adults entirely unaware of the abuse happening to me at the moment.
"You have a beautiful voice Landon. I'd love for you to sing for us again." Gage's mother looked at me sweetly.
"Maybe another time," I blushed looking down at my lap.
"I'll hold you up to that my dear." She winked at me.

"So where's your dad? Is he at work or something?" Gage asked me.
I tensed. I didn't turn to reply "He left. Six years ago. I was ten," I said.
"I know sorry doesn't feel sincere when people say it. It just feels.... like they pity you. So I won't bother." He said.
Normally this would bother someone else, but I was so grateful. "Thank you. Really." I said.
For a moment I could I have sworn he smiled. An actual smile. Dimples and all, but then it was gone as soon as it came. And he left with it.
