~After school~
"Come on J-Fred. Please?" I ask.

"No, I will not do a challenge video with you something will happen." He laughed. We were walking to my car and got in.

"What if I let yoooooooou, choose the challenge?" Trying to convince him.

"You know what? Screw it. Let's do it. You only live once right?" He laughed.

"Yaaaaay! And if you do it right, once is enough.

"It's not a lie. What challenges do you have in mind?" He asks.

"Well, I have this one challenge and it's called the food slap challenge." I start.

"Okay. I like food but not slaps." He says seriously.

"Me too. But one of us is blindfolded and the other has to slap the blindfolded one with food of their choice.

"Tasty." He said turning the radio on."

"Wai-!" The music cut me off.

"YOU STARTED A FIRE! AND YOURE BURNING UP UP BURNI-." We fumbled trying to get it off and eventually he just turns it all the way down.

"Jesus." He said with his hand on his heart. "That scared me so bad."

"You're not alone." I laugh.

"I've never heard this song before. What is it, and who is it by? I must know." He said looking at me.

"It's called fire." I pause. "And it's a song I wrote."

"Is it you singing?" He asks

"Yes."

"Sing a song for me."

"We're about to pick Matthias up." I protested.

"He won't care I'll just tell him to shut up when he gets in the car." He said. Wow nothing will break him will it?

"Fine." I say sticking my tongue out at him. We turn in the college and see Matthias sitting there. I pull up and...

"Get in loser we're going shopping." Joey yells. He slaps his forehead and gets in.

"Hey Lena. Thank you so mu-" Matt started.

"Shut up she's about to sing." He intensely stared at me. I laughed and pushed his face away.

"No problem Matthias." I laughed.  I cleared my throat and turned the radio on. I turned it to track 7.

"I'll face my fear of the evening once I get used to this feeling.
I can't sleep,
That's when you're torn away from me.
While I'm dreaming I feel you leaving.

I'll face my fear of the sunrise when I wake up with your hand inside mine.
It's hard to say "good morning" when it's followed with "goodbye".
Just wanted to say "good night".

Our eyes fighting the light,
But I'm not ready to say "good night".
I try and hold on tight cause it's just not time to say "good night".
Say good night.

I'll face my fear of the cold nights when you leave me behind.
I felt your hands in my hair,
I felt your breath on my neck,
Yeah, I need to feel you again.

Just wanted to say "good night".

Our eyes fighting the light,
But I'm not ready to say "good night".
I try and hold on tight cause it's just not time to say "good night".
Say good night.

These eyes are closed again for yet another night.
I wake up and I can feel you by my side,
but I can't find you in the dark when you're so far.
Yeah that's the hardest part.
Here comes the hardest part.

Our eyes fighting the light,
But I'm not ready to say "good night".
I try and hold on tight cause it's just not time to say "good night".
Say good night.

"I mean. In what world do I go to sleep after you and wake up before you?! I don't even know how it happens. Well I hope you're having sweet dreams, and you call me when you wake up." I finish. I turn the radio off and it's silent.

"Goodness me. Did my voice crack?" I ask.

"No." They say in unison.

"Well was it good?" I ask.

"That would be an understatement." Joey said.

"That was amazing Lena. You're gonna go far if you keep at it." Matt said.

"Thank you Matt." I say. We pull up to the houses and I stop. "Is it cool if I drive in the garage?" I ask.

"Of course." Joey says.

"Cool." I say pressing the button on the roof.

"Thank you so much Lena. You have a very nice voice I wish I could stay but I have to make ideas for a movie. I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks.

"Yeah. I'll come over at 7:30.

"Okay. Joey you coming?" He asks.

"Nah, imma do a challenge video with Lena. Tell mom and dad." He said.

"Okay. See ya bro. Bye Lena." I gently wave.

"And then there were two." I laugh.
