-Nobody's POV-

The song had a soft, quiet, beautiful track playing in the background. It sounded like stars twinkling and the ripple of water. It then faded out making everything go silent, the silence was so loud for about five seconds before an electric guitar beat drop came followed by a steady beat on drums. Every now and then you would hear the guitar strumming along then fade out. The next thing you heard was a drum solo followed by the sounds of an electric guitar, drums, an electric keyboard, and Newt's voice. The song was something along the lines of 'Your touch is what I missed but it was like poison once it sunk in.' followed by the electric guitar strumming louder before his voice came back. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he was singing about his mother. It was clear that he made the song recently. "When did you make this?" Minho asked, "While we were at the collage." Newt replied. Then everyone was silent so they could hear the music. Newt started to sing along with the track, "Ugh! I need to tell them to hold on, I need to add background vocals! That's what I was missing." He exclaimed. He turned off the song and pulled out his computer and e-mailed the people publishing his song to ask them if they could wait a bit longer. They responded fairly quick saying that it was a wonderful song already and would give him as much time as he needed to add things so that it can be even better. Newt continued the music he was playing before playing his song as he looked for things he can add to his song and make it better. They all jammed out to the songs playing as Newt was working on his song. After about three more hours of driving, Thomas pulled over into a gas station. Everyone got out except Newt, he wanted to record the background vocals of his song. Once the group got back in the car Newt smiled at them. "I finished my song!" He exclaimed. "Play it!" Sonya replied. Newt nodded and started to play the song. It started out the same but when the beat drop happened you had drums and the electric guitar fully. Then Newt's voice appeared. 'You walked out of my life, but I turned out just fine.' then the electric guitar got louder until his voice came back, 'your touch is what I missed, but it was like poison' there was a quick second before he finished the line 'once it sunk in' then you heard his background vocals repeating the last part of the line but quieter and a little hidden amongst the guitar. 'but I'm recovered now, nobody knows how, but I am and I am free of you now' the background vocals went 'free of you, free of you, free of you now' then Newt's voice came back 'so you can go away, you're not welcome in our town. ' the music continued and then cut out for a second until the music went soft again. 'You left me to rot, in a room the size of a pot, with a man who didn't care for me.' on the word care, everything in the background music started to get more upbeat. 'so go and walk out the door, like you did before, you never seemed to care, so just get out of our hair.' the music had stopped on the words walk, did, seemed, and out. The music then came back on the words like, you, and so. Then the music came back and the song continued with 'yeah you never seemed to care, so just go anywhere, I want you out of my hair, my mother that didn't care, didn't care.' and then the song ended. "That was amazing Newt!!" Thomas exclaimed, Harriet nodded in agreement. "That definitely describes your life." Sonya commented, "That was an amazing song Newt." Minho said finally. Newt smiled and blushed from all the compliments, "Thanks guys." was all he could manage. Newt continued to play music that was in the playlist and they all started to jam out. After the long drive, they finally got home to Thomas's house. Harriet decided to stay the night. They walked into the house and Sonya took one room and Harriet took the other as she rolled around in her sleep and didn't want Sonya to deal with it. That left one room for all three boys. "I'll get a mattress for Minho to sleep on and a sleeping bag for me to sleep on." Thomas explained, "Don't worry Tommy, the bed should be big enough for all three of us." Newt explained. Thomas sat on the bed and Newt sat next to him. "Are you sure Newt?" Minho asked, "It's not any different than us sleeping in the same bed." Newt replied, Minho sighed in agreement before joining them on the bed. "I really liked your song, Newt." Thomas told him, Newt blushed. "Same here babe." Minho agreed as he put his head on Newt's shoulder. "Your hair is soft." Newt blushed and looked at Minho. "Well that came out of nowhere." Newt replied. Thomas laid down to go to sleep as Newt and Minho followed.
