Scorpion: A New Member

Chapter 74: The sound of music

TOBYS POV
"Hey play that song again." Meghan instructs. I play the song again.
"Why?" I ask, confused.
"Play it one more time." She says again, without answering my question. I play the song again.
"Why am I doing this?" I ask her, still confused.
"What is my song doing on the radio?" Meghan asks, angrily, looking up from her economy homework I assigned her.
"What are you talking about?" Paige asks her.
"I wrote this song when I was nine. Why is it on the radio?" Meghan shouts, standing up.
"This song was released in 2007, by MayDay parade." Sly says looking at his computer.
"And how old was I in 2007?" Meghan asks us, trying to be obvious.
"Nine..." I respond.
"Yes. And I wrote this song when I was nine." Meghan replies.
"I think we got ourselves a case." Cabe says, typing something on his phone.
"Yes, I think we do." Meg says, looking for something under her desk.
"How do we know your not lying?" I ask her, suspiciously.
"Why the hell would I lie about this shit?" Meghan asks me, confused.
"What if you sing the song?" Paige, suggests.
"Hell no." She replies, as quick as possible.
"Just do it." Walter demands.
"Fine, I'll be right back." Meghan says, running up stairs, before we have a chance to respond. She returns moments later with a tan wooden acoustic guitar.
"You really want me to sing?" Meghan confirms, nervously. We all nod in unison. She takes a deep breath.

"Cause jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair

Let's write a song that we can dance to
Cause they all wanna listen
Just to know how it sounds when
I do that thing you know that i do
When i find inspiration
This is me breaking down when

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair

Let's write a song that we can sing to
And you can lead the choir
And put the hook where it hurts most
And you threw a spark that lit the candle
That set us all on fire
And sent a flame down the east coast

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair

And i should have been your everything
I'm now at the end of my eternity
And i will sleep to have the darkest dreams
This just won't seem right to me
I close my eyes and beg for peace

Jersey just got colder and...
Jersey just got colder and...
Jersey just got colder and...

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair."

Meghan sings. She is a beautiful singer, she should song more often. She plays the strings so gracefully on her guitar. I see Shawn walk in and stare at Meghan with pure admiration in his eyes.
"Believe me now? The song is called Jersey, doesn't the song kind of describe my life if you think about it?" Meghan ask, slightly angry, setting the guitar gently on the ground.
"Hi baby." Shawn says, waving.
"Hi Shawn." Meghan says, getting up and giving him a hug. She kisses him and laces her fingers with his.
"What's going on?" Shawn asks, looking at Meghan's guitar case on the ground.
"Oh I was just- wait, Shawn remember when we where nine?" Meghan asks, digging through the papers in her guitar case.
"Yes, vividly." Shawn responds with a confused expression on his face.
"Remember when I wrote this?" Meghan ask him, handing him a wrinkled piece of yellow notebook paper.
"Oh yeah, your song Jersey." Shawn responds, reading over the paper a few times.
"I fucking told you!" Meghan shouts.
"Ok, ok we believe you, what do we do now?" Walter asks her.
"We are going to Fearless studios." Meghan responds, looking something up on the computer.
"What's that?" Shawn asks, looking at the computer screen.
"It's a record label, they signed Mayday parade in 2007 the same year the song was released. The studio is located in Culver City, California, about a twenty minute drive from here." Meghan responds reading the page.
"Ok let's get going." I respond, gathering my stuff and heading out the door, the rest of the team doing the same.
