My father looks at me again before turning over the engine, I hadn't gotten in yet because I was talking to my sisters and my mom, I hugged them all and told them that I was supposed to be back around Christmas time and I'll have presents. I climb into the car and nod to my dad, he looks back as he's backing out of our small driveway, he smiled at me but it didn't last long for when he looked at my outfit he frowned but didn't say anything.

" Brooklyn your mother and I are worried that you are getting in over your head." He stated not taking his eyes off the road.

"There's no need to be worried I'll be fine I swear, it's not like I'm going to Singapore to rob a bank" I joke. My dad looks at me like I've gone mad and puts a hand up to my forehead to check if I have a fever.

"Dad I'm fine" I laugh once again.

"Okay just trying to see if you are okay." He laughs with me.

I finally look out the window and recognize where we are, " this isn't the way to the airport." I state quickly wringing my hands in my lap.

"I am aware, I'm bringing you out some coffee, you still have 10 minutes till you have to be actually at the airport." he chuckles once again and parks the car. Walking into my favorite coffee shop Brian greets me with a warm smile.

"Hey kiddo, what do you want today?" He smiles at me and I just smile back.

"Just my regular."

"English toffee latte coming right up, oh, and what do you want as your design?"

" Experiment." I laugh as my dad orders a simple Cappuccino.

"So what brings you here on this lovely day?" Brian asks as he's steaming milk.

" I'm on my way to the airport." I state proudly with my head held high.

"Oh why are you going to the airport?"
Brian asks raising an eyebrow without looking up.

"I'm going to go live in LA for a little while, I got a record deal." I look down suddenly interested in my shoes.

"Oh so you sing?" He asks suddenly engrossed in the topic of me singing, all the while looking at me with his eyebrows raised once again.

"Sing me something!" he claps and closed his eyes as I started singing "I see fire my Ed Sheeran.

"Oh misty eye of the mountain below

 keep careful watch on my brothers soul 

And if they sky shall be fill with fire and smoke 

Keep careful watch of Durin's son.

If this is to end in fire

Then we should all burn together

Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh

Stand by and we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side

And if we should die tonight

Then we should all die together

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh

Prepare as we will

Watch the flames burn auburn on

The mountain side
