Chapter 19:
Kayla's POV

***

"Why is it that whenever I come in your room I have to see a make out session?" The sound of Kyle's voice broke us apart.

"I mean maybe if you would knock before you barge into my room you wouldn't have this problem," I suggested to Kyle, "What do you want anyways?"

"Is Jenny home?" He asked Jake.

Jake replied with a smirk, "Yeah, why?"

"Just wanted to, um, hang out with her." He said as a blush came upon his cheeks. I started laughing which caused Jake to laugh and Kyle to leave the room.

"Someone likes your sister." I said to Jake.

"And someone likes your brother." He replied.

Just the thought of two siblings dating two siblings was so strange to me. Like what if one day the four of us got married? It would be one heck of a story to tell.

"I forgot to ask," Jake said, "Have you seen my new music video?"

A wave of gilt hit me. When I was 'mopping around' about Jake, it never occurred to me to watch it. "No, I haven't."

He went over to my laptop and searched it online. The number of views displayed on the bottom blew me away. Over 500,000 views, that's incredible for a new music video. The title of it read "A Million Lives".

Throughout the video I heard familiar lyrics, but I didn't know all of them. The video showed the people whose lives he touched. It gave you a visual picture of their story and how Jake helped them overcome obstacles such as cancer, bullying, and losing a family member. In between each story is the chorus; "I've met a million people, been a million places. Shook a million hands, seen a million faces. Had a million lows, and a million more highs. No I haven't made a million, but I've touched a million lives." Then the last verse he talks about how all his fans have helped him and saved his life. I have to say, it was pretty amazing.

When the video ended he looked over at me, "What do you think?"

"That was amazing Jake. The visual effects, the meaning in the lyrics, just the statement in general. It really was perfect. I love it."

A smile was plastered across his face showing off his dimples, "You really think so?"

I nodded, "I know so. The number of views and likes explains it all."

"Thanks Kay, that really means a lot to me." By the look on his face I knew it did. It's truly amazing to watch his progression with the music industry. I never doubted him, but I never expected an instant change. I never would have imagined any of this a few months ago, and I can bet money that he wouldn't have either.

"Can you sing?"

I was taken aback by his question, "What?"

"Can you sing? Do you have a talented voice?" He asked again.

I mean I've never tried to actually sing for real. Only messing around with my friends or singing in the shower out of boredom. "I'm not sure."

"Well let's go find out." He put his hand out and I took it. We walked next door to his house without running into Kyle or Jenny. He led me up to his room and we went in the room with the microphone.

"I take back what I said, I don't think I can sing actually."

He just laughed and turned on the microphone. "I promise I won't make fun of you if you sound bad."

"I don't even know what to sing!" I was trying to think of more and more excuses to get me out of it because now I'm pretty sure I can't sing.

He pulled out his phone and typed something before handing it to me. On the screen were the lyrics to the song "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic.

"Are you seriously going to make me sing?" I asked. The tone of my voice basically made it sound like I was begging to get out of it. But he just replied with a nod and big ass smile on his face. I gave him a death glare before putting on the headphones and facing the microphone.

The music started playing in the background and I honestly had no clue what to do. I didn't know when to start and stop or extend notes or anything. I took off the headphones and said "Time out!"

"Yes Kayla?" He asked.

"I don't know when to stop or start or how long to hold notes."

"They're going to be singing with you, but I'm only going to hear your voice." He explained.

I felt really stupid for not knowing that. "Oh. Okay then time in."

The music started again and the first line was coming up. I knew most of the words, but I looked down at Jake's phone to avoid his eyes. In my own ears I wasn't sounding too bad, but my voice sounds different in my opinion to everyone else's. I sang along to the whole song with my head down looking at Jake's phone. When he walked into the room and approached me I still looked down. To say I felt embarrassed would be an understatement.

"Kayla," He says, "When are you going to look up from my phone? It's not even on anymore, the screens black."

When I didn't respond he walked over to me and sighed. "Don't you want to know what you sound like?"

I shook my head, but I was lying to myself. I wanted to know if I sounded alright or not really badly, but then again I didn't if it the answer was I sounded bad. Knowing Jake he would sugar coat it for me anyways.

"Okay if that's what you want then I won't play it for you." He said.

"Wait," I stopped him before he could walk out of the room, "I want to hear it."

He pressed the button and my voice came through speakers. After the first couple lines I realized that I was actually pretty awful. I went over to Jake and covered his ears with my hands. "You might go deaf if you keep listening."

Jake laughed and took my hands off his ears. "It's not that bad."

"That statement was bull crap. It is that bad." We both started laughing at my poor music skills.

Eventually the song ended along with our laughter. This made me realize how comfortable I am around Jake. I wouldn't do that for anyone of my friends of family members, but I did do it for him. Finally, I found someone I can be myself around. If you really think about it that's what dating is for. To search for the person you're comfortable around and you can be yourself with. When you find that person you usually spend the rest of your life with them because of all the joy they bring you.

For some reason I'm just one of those people who think about anything and everything and piece things together. By now all the thoughts were overwhelming, so I used my escape; Jake. My lips found his causing my mind to just stop for a minute.

My hands lightly pressed on his chest while his were on my sides. As the kiss got deeper his hand went underneath my shirt. His touch on my skin made me shiver and I could feel him smile. His fingers rubbed circles on my skin causing my head to spin, but in a good way. Almost a weightless way.

The feeling faded when he pulled away and said, "I want to show you something."

We walked over to the stools in the corner which also has microphones. He picked up his guitar and played around with the strings while I sat on a stool. When he fixed the strings he sat down on the stool next to mine.

"I made an acoustic song," He said, "It's the "Collide" one." All the memories of that song came coming back. He wrote it about me when he first started to like me, and it was a pretty great song.

A smile took place on my face as I watched his fingers strum the beat. I've always wanted to play guitar, but it seems so hard. Soon the words started coming out and it wasn't rap like before, it was pure singing. Good singing. I never heard him sing one of his songs, but it's amazing. He was blessed with a gift that so many people wish they had.

His eyes looked up from the guitar showing his emotion as he sang, "Me and you stop in time, all of the stars align, this is what it feels like, when we collide."

The song was about me. The words were directed towards me. And I couldn't ask for anything more than that. Jake was showing the world how he felt about me through his music, and I never once stopped to think about that. I definitely do not deserve this boy.

It was all so overwhelming to me I didn't know how to respond when the song ended. It was so perfect. He was so perfect. "I wish my voice sounded more like that." I said bringing back earlier memories of my singing which made us laugh again.

"I'm sure if I played around with some different sounds and buttons I could make your voice sound more like it." He suggested.

"Alright then, your homework tonight is to fix my voice."

"But I don't want to change a thing about you." The words made my heart race and butterflies fly around my stomach. Hearing simple things like that from Jake could make my day. I seriously do not deserve this boy.

JAKE'S POV

***

My pencil was flying across the paper faster than ever before. I didn't even have to think of the words they pretty much wrote themselves. Ever since I could clear my mind about not having Kayla, lyrics flowed so much more freely. But only because they were all about her.

I was sitting at my desk with my pencil and notebook in my hand when there was a knock on the door. "Come on in." I said with my head still looking at the unfinished lyrics.

The door opened and closed and when no words were said I turned my head to see Kyle in my room.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

He shrugged, "Just came here to talk."

I set down my pencil and closed the notebook, "I'm all ears."

"My sister, she likes you a lot and you make her really happy," He started, "I'm perfectly okay with you two being together and everything, but if you hurt her--"

I cut Kyle off by saying, "I wouldn't dream of it. She means too much to me, I could never do that to her." And it was true, I worked so hard to get Kayla and she's finally mine. Never would I ever let go of her.

Let go of her. Let her go. I won't ever let you go Kayla.

The words came so easily, I opened the book up to a new page and wrote it down. The title at the top "Let you go."

Kyle must've really believed me because he changed the subject, "One more thing, would I be able to- um you know- ask Jenny to, uh--"

"Sure, you can ask Jenny out." I replied with a smile. 

Me and Kayla and Kyle and Jenny, I could get use to that.
