(Ella's P.O.V.)
We get to the store, and I park in the parking lot then turn it off. I smile and turn to face the back. My father gives me a huge smile, but Taylor looks at me blankly.
"A music store?" She says sounding disgusted.
"Yeah. Is there something wrong?" I ask looking at her confused.
"No. Nothing. Let's just go in." I smile and get out of the car quickly feeling my excitement take over.
"Okay. Um so I need a piano for that new song I just wrote I need a microphone that I can attach to my computer. I need a new guitar. No strings? I can't remember."
"How bout we get you a studio." My dad said putting his arm around my shoulders.
"Ha-ha." I say feeling like he was making fun of me.
"I'm serious."
"Wait really?"
"Yeah. We've got that empty room that's been just collecting dust you could use that."
"Oh my god. Are serious like really serious?"
"If course I am. You seen very devoted to this music thing so you should have a space to do it that isn't your bedroom."
"Aaah. Thank you thank you thank you." I say practically squeezing the life out if my father."
"You're welcome." He paused. "I have to be alive in order to do that for you."
"Oh. Right. Sorry dad. I got excited. Okay I'm so excited lets go into he store."
"Think you can handle it?" Taylor said from behind me.
"Yeah." I say opening the door to the store, and walking in. I nearly scream at looking at all the music equipment, but don't. I look around to see a karaoke machine that people are aloud to sing at. I gasp and turn towards my dad. He nods seeing the karaoke machine himself, and I nearly jumped out of my skin running over to the machine.
I press play on a song, and it starts to play. I wait for the intro to finish then start to sing. It was keep your head by: Andy Grammar. I start to sing forgetting that everyone is there singing my heart out. The only reason I knew it was real was because I could hear everyone walking over. I hear a lot of 'wow she's really good' and 'is that your daughter?' Andy dad would answer them with 'why yes. She is my little star.' I sing through the whole song then come back to reality to see how many people had actually watched. It was everyone in the store. I smile in disbelief then look at my dad. He gave me a thumbs up, and I put the microphone back.
I walk away from the machine to where my dad was standing, and he gave me a high five. I laugh and look around the store. I just kept smiling.
"I should live here." I mumble to myself.
"What's that?" Taylor said looking at me with a smile.
"Hm. Oh its nothing." I say startled by how sudden it was for her to hear me like that.
"Okay."
"Okay. I'm gonna go get some music stuff, and I'll be back. I might need help."
"Okay. I'll come help you out. Go on. I'll follow you. You gonna join is honey? It's fun to to see Ella jump out if her skin every time she picks up something." My dad said with glee in his voice.
"I heard that."
"Um... Sure I'll join you guys." Taylor said sounding hesitant to do so.
"Cool. Come on." I say grabbing my dad's hands and pulling him along through the store.
