Gordon's P.O.V.
Seeing Mariah with her siblings always made me smile. She had a talent for making them laugh. We were in my car, heading to the beach, and she was singing along with the radio. Katie, Cara, and Uriah were dancing.
'The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came.
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So lets go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me'
Uriah and Cara sang together. Mariah nodded her head to the beat and smiled at Katie.
'Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time?
Time is slipping away away from us so stay
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came.'
I smiled when all of them sang together. Mariah sounded like an angel.
'I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came."
Mariah showed me a CD. It was from a children's movie. She slid it into the CD player and pressed play. Katie gasped when she heard the music and instantly started singing.
'Else?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on let's go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away-
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman!
Go away, Anna
Okay, bye.'
Cara tickled Katie's stomach and started singing when she giggled.
'Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls?
I think some company is overdue
I'm started talking to
The pictures on the walls!-
Hang in there, Joan!
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by!
Tick-Tock Tick-Tock Tick-Tock'
The music changed, and all four of them seemed to grow depressed. Mariah sang on her own.
'Elsa?
Please, I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say 'have courage', and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
We only have each other
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?'
Katie started crying. Cara and Uriah both held her hands. I looked at Mariah from the corner of my eyes and saw a tear sliding down her cheek. I took her hand, and I smiled slightly when she looked at me.
