Chapter 5:

Melody woke up the next morning, and headed to the studio in the basement of the cabin. She look around the studio and it was her mother studio, she was surprise to her Uncle in here.

Melody: Uncle Brown? What are you doing here?
Uncle Brown: this is where I be every morning. It feels like your mom around here doesn't it
Melody: yeah, I remember coming in here a lot and mom would teach me a few things
Uncle Brown: she left you something last summer before she got sick, she told me to give this to you

Melody sits with him on the couch and takes the paper.

Melody: *looks at it* it's a song! She left a song for me?
Uncle Brown: she wants you to keep it
Melody: I don't know Uncle Brown...
Uncle Brown: she would want this for you Mel.
Melody: do you mind? I want to be alone
Uncle Brown: *sighs* alright, don't be down here too long you got to help Jason out today
Melody: *sighs* okay

Brown kiss the top of her head before leaving and Melody sighs and went over to the piano. She lift the piano open and ran her fingers over the piano keys. She bit her lip before sitting down and she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and started playing.

Brown was listening to her voice from behind the door smiling. Also in the distance her brothers were hearing her voice after Shane silence them from speaking and Jason said.

Jason: is that Mel?
Nate: whatever Uncle Brown did sure is a miracle worker

Luke was delivering stuff to the kitchen to help his mom out when he heard a voice from the cabin as well. He went to go check it out, but it suddenly stopped. He was really drawn to the voice and he had to know who the voice is.

With Melody:

Melody finished and smiled to herself and then looked at the note on top and it was a message from her mother.

Melody, you can do it, Love Mom

Melody smiles and hold the lyric sheet close to her while looking up in the sky thanking her.

Melody left the studio and was surprise to see her Uncle Brown.

Melody: Uncle Brown? We're you standing their the whole time
Brown: I know I shouldn't pride, but I was so darn proud of you Mel. I haven't heard you sing like that in a long time
Melody: thanks, I think I got the music back inside me. That would be great for a new song
Brown: maybe good enough to sing at camp fire jam?
Melody: really?
Brown: if you're up for it. I have an opening spot just for you
Melody: thanks Uncle Brown! I'm going to get started on the song now
Brown: excuse me, don't you have something to do
Melody: but Uncle Brown...
Brown: Melody... you broke curfew
Melody: I'm not the only one!
Brown: and I'm sure his mother handle it, get going, your brother is waiting for you upstairs
Melody: ugh! Fine...

Melody heads upstairs and founds all three of her brothers on the couch starring at her when she came in.

Melody: what? Do I have something on my face?
Shane: we knew you could do it kid!
Melody: I guess you heard..
Nate: what made you want to play again?
Melody: Uncle Brown gave me this song that mom wrote just for me to sing. She said she worked it last summer before she got sick.

With Luke:
Luke head back to cabin after meeting some friends in opening jam who had an extra room in their bunk.

Luke: hey!
Alex: dude, where have you been?
Luke: I told you guys I was helping my mom in the morning. But I do have to help more later
Reggie: I feel like that's all you been doing since you got here
Luke: look I promise my mom I would help her out
Alex: I don't listen to my parents with a lot of things but I don't actually do it. Why?
Luke: just because... okay... I'm not very comfortable about telling people my business.
Alex: okay sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
Luke: Hey guys listen, so Shane suggest I should do something at the Camp Fire Jam
Reggie: dude! We should do a group
Alex: really?
Reggie: yeah! I already know how to play guitar
Alex: Nate been teaching me how to play drums
Luke: great settle, we can make us a band! I'll make the music since I'm a song writer (a/n: they had Bobby in their band but I decided not to add him)
Reggie: cool
Luke: now we just need a name for the band
Alex: hmm... we can call ourselves a threesome
Reggie: dude, so not going to happened
Alex: I didn't mean it that way. I maybe gay but I'm not that gay
Reggie: ooo... I got it! Sunset Swerve
Luke: why Sunset Swerve
Reggie: I don't know I thought of an old 90's band
Luke: or... instead of stealing someone else band name so we don't get sued. We can do something like this. How about Sunset Curve?
Alex: I like it
Reggie: me too, but I still say we should go with my idea
Luke: so... we all good on Sunset Curve
Reggie/Alex: agree
