Lyra's P.O.V

"Oh. My. Notch."

I couldn't describe it any other way. The condo was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! There was a kitchen, which was so new to me considering that mine was a fridge and a microwave. He had a TV and a super comfy white couch that I nearly sunk into. Everything was as I imagined it, but better!

"Where's your office?" I asked eagerly without thinking. I blushed. "Sorry..."

"Stalker," Jordan teased. "My office is down this hallway." He wheeled me down the hallway really fast, and when we got to the doorway I was laughing and Jordan was panting.

Jordan opened the door and I jumped out of the wheelchair, only to squeal in pain and fall back into the seat.

"You're hyper, aren't you?" Jordan asked, biting his lip. He probably thinks that I'm some crazy fan now! I scolded myself in my head.

"I-I'm so sorry about that..." I said quietly. Jordan put his hands on my head and messed up my hair. I glared at him with a teasing look in my eyes. He had the same look and he was laughing. I wheeled myself so I was face to face with him and pulled him into the chair, sending us flying...

into his computer.

Jordan stopped laughing. The fun look in his eyes vanished, and his smile turned into a frown. I stared at the rubble and then at Jordan. "Jordan, I am so sorry...I didn't mean-" I started, but he interrupted.

"Get out of here!" he yelled in a harsh tone. "Get out of my house! Get out of California! Get out of my life!"

I stared at him, just barely able to keep from bursting into tears. Then I glared back. "Fine! I don't need you!" I shouted back. But I knew that wasn't true. I did need him.

Jordan's P.O.V.

"I don't need you!" she shouted. I saw her eyes cloud up with tears and I knew that I had overreacted and said something really stupid.

Then she got out of the wheelchair and limped to the door, thrusting it open and walking out.

"Lyra, wait!" I called. Then I heard a door slam and knew that it was too late to take back what I said. In sorrow, I sunk to my knees and sighed. "Lyra, please don't go..." I whispered. "I need you."

Lyra's P.O.V

I limped into the elevator and smacked the button with my fist. Then I leaned against the wall for support. When the elevator doors opened, I was grateful that it was empty inside.

In a fancy hotel, everything is fancy. In a fancy place that houses Jordan Maron's condo, elevators are fancy. In the elevator I was in, there was carpeting and seats and fancy music. I sunk into one of the comfy seats and pressed the button that took me to the first floor.

When I limped out of the elevator, I heard more music. But it sounded like it was playing right in that room. And it was.

A guitarist, a pianist, and a man singing were in the middle of the room. I limped into the crowd and stood there. Jordan wouldn't notice me. That was the only time that I was happy to be super short for my age.

The man played a few songs, then looked around himself. "Lets have someone else sing now! Any volunteers?"

Without thinking, my hand shot up in the air. The man noticed and pointed to me. "How about you, young lady?" he asked with a polite smile. Even more politely, he held his hand out and brought me up on the small stage. I flinched at the pain in my knees from walking, but kept myself standing.

His first question seemed normal. "What's your name?"

"Lyra," I responded.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," the man said. I blushed.

"Thank you," I whispered.

"Now, let's get this show started! Is there a song you'd like to sing?" the man called out.

I searched my head for a good song. My search stopped at "Take Back the Night," a Minecraft original song by CaptainSparklez himself.

"Take Back the Night," I replied proudly. I felt surprised after I spoke, since normally I was shy and quiet. This was new.

"Perfect choice!" the man boomed. His little band started playing and I bit my lip, feeling my fears rush at me. Then I thought of Jordan. His quilted hair, his brown eyes, and his personality. Jordan, the one that brought me into the real world.

Jordan's P.O.V

I ran to the elevator and punched the button. It seemed like forever when the doors finally opened. I got in and went to the first floor.

As I came out of the elevator, I heard music. One of my original songs that I couldn't forget- Take Back the Night.

I ran into and heard a few squeals as some fangirls saw me. But all I could focus on was the stage. There was a little band, with a pretty girl with an amazing voice singing the song I wrote on the stage.

"Lyra!" I called.

Lyra glanced at me but kept singing. When I looked into her violet eyes, I saw annoyance. But I didn't care. I just smiled and cheered as she sang the chorus, and I even started singing too. Lyra looked at me again. Her violet eyes showed affection this time, and she looked more...err...free?

Lyra twirled, her long, curly black hair flying in this pretty way. My mouth hung open in amazement. She was AMAZING. I started pumping my fist in the air and yelling, "Lyra!" over and over proudly until the end.

Lyra's P.O.V

I finished the song and a bunch of cheers hit my eardrums. I raised my right hand and punched the air with a smile, which sent the crowd into more cheers. The singer man from the band patted me on the back, and in my weak state it sent me falling-

onto Jordan.

Jordan and I fell to the floor, and apparently the way we fell made it look like we were about to kiss. A bunch of people started taking pictures.

Jordan was staring at me with this faraway smile on his face. He looked into my eyes, gave a slight wince, and looked away awkwardly. Great...

"Jordan, are you okay?" I asked, getting up.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." Jordan answered, still not looking at me.

"Sorry," I whispered.

"No problem," Jordan said. He walked up to the elevator, me limping after him and calling "wait for me!"

Jordan hit the button and I followed him into the elevator. "Jordan..." I started.

"Paparazzi," Jordan interrupted.

"I am so sorry about that..." I continued.

"It wasn't your fault. You were amazing. Lets talk about the photos later. Right now I want to help you get a career in singing. You've found your true voice."
