Sing To Me

{20} Sing To Me

20

While I was making my second movie I decided to try and write some songs myself. After many many many failed attempts I think I finally got a winner. I called it Sing To Me. It kind of encompassed all the feelings I have for Jason. It was simply asking him to sing to me, because I love the sound of his voice.

I was so proud of my song that I couldn't wait to get back home to show Jason. It may be the only one I wrote, but I want to sing it with him so bad, because I made it so there would have to be a girl's back up voice in it.

The movie finished, it was a simple story about a girl in search of her family because she was adopted by an older couple and they died and told her the truth in a note and she meets a handsome man on the way and they fall madly in love. Sappy, but sweet.

I had a ten hour plane flight and some jetlag, but I was so happy to be home.

I went home and crashed. I slept all through the next day and finally when I woke up I took and shower and put on jeans and a tank top with my converse.

I was told to pack up because we were going to a house that was also hooked to the recording studio. I have to spend a long time in a small house with four boys. Yay me.

On the bright side, it's beach side. I love the beach!

*two days later*

"Kill me now!" James said collapsing on the couch. "I'm so tired!" He said muffled by the pillows.

It's the first day of drum tracking. He's been recording non-stop for five hours now. The rest of us have been hanging out at the beach and what not. We were given a little camera to record the recording process for the fans to see. We've been having fun with that. Passing around from person to person. One time I had it and I recorded a wrestling match between Tyler and Michael. In the middle Michael was pinning Tyler down and Jason came over with a water bottle and poured it down his pants. That was hilarious!

Another time James and I were having an ice cream eating contest and that got recorded. It was mostly us shoving a large chunk of ice cream in our mouths and writhing on the ground in pain and the both of is screaming, "Bad idea! Bad idea!"

After a couple more weeks it was finally time to do the first voice recordings. I had practiced the songs with Jason a lot, but I hadn't showed him the song I wrote, but I did show the recording staff and they liked it a lot and made lyrics for us to read.

We sang a couple songs then we went on to the next one which was mine.

The music started and we began singing. Jason looked at me confused for a second, but continued singing. Finally something in his brain clicked and he smiled.

We recorded a couple songs together then separately for the recording staff to hear better.

We finally finished for the day and I felt out of breath and had a slight head ache, but we finished one whole song and we heard the playback of it and were quite proud.

We celebrated that night with champagne and cake! We laughed and joked and had a merry little time.

Then we made a momentous discovery. Fireworks.

We set three off before we got in trouble. All the staff was sleeping so we got in trouble and had to put the fireworks away.

That sucked.

We finally finished our album after two months in that little shack we're done. Then after four months of the CD being out and people going crazy over it, we got a small four day vacation to relax then back to work.

The CD did great too. There were definitely some haters that didn't like that I was singing with Jason, but there was definitely more good feedback than bad.

We were on the tour bus and Jenny was with us. It was like a party!

Everyone was yelling and having a great time. We finally got to the first venue and started unloading. We had a concert that night and I was so nervous. It was my first concert.

It was finally half an hour before concert time and I am freaking out! Jason is no help because he's really nervous too!

I just know something is going to go wrong! I know it!

"Carla calm down. You'll be great!" Jason said rubbing my arm.

"You'll be great too. So you should calm down." I said hurriedly. I don't know what I'm talking about I'm just too freaked out.

"Gah! When's the wait going to be over!"

All of the sudden Jason kissed me. He pulled away and smiled. I smiled momentarily, then started freaking out again.

"Didn't work!"

We panicked for a little while longer then it was time to go on. The stage curtain was down. We did a rehearsal and it went pretty well.

Jason and I got to the mikes and I took deep breaths. The concert was sold out and so naturally it was loud! There were thousands of people. Jason had his own guitar, but I was just singing.

James hit the snare to signal the beginning of the first song. They all started playing as the curtain rose. I just put on my best smile.

Finally Jason and I started singing. The minute I did all the worry washed away. I looked out at the audience and saw all the people singing along and screaming and cheering, I felt empowered, and I saw beautifully. Jason smiled reassuringly at me.

We finished the first song and people were going crazy. "So I want to thank you all for coming today to kick our tour off. So as you know we have a new member to the band, the lovely Carla Jennings!" People actually screamed and cheered for me. "Wasn't she great! She was actually really nervous to do this because it's her first concert. So let's see if you all can scream louder for her!"

It erupted into cheers. Then I grabbed the mike. "Jason you make it seem like I was the only one that was nervous. So you weren't?" I said smirking.

"nah! I'm never nervous."

"Oh so when you said backstage, 'oh my gosh I'm so nervous.' You were just joking."

"Psh, yeah!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I guess I just misunderstood." I winked at the audience and they laughed. This was actually a lot of fun.

"Well this next song was not originally sung with Carla, but we added a little of her flair and so let's see how it goes!"

He put the mike back on its stand and we started the second song of the night.

It was one of their older songs so everyone was singing along. We practiced it with me to make sure it sounded right. I thought it was pretty good, personally.

We did a couple more songs, with some bantering in between, and what not. Then came my song, Sing To Me.

It was slower and it was just Jason and I out on stools with his acoustic guitar. It went over really well with the audience. People swayed to the music and really felt it.

Finally the concert was over and I was worn out. We went out the back of the venue and there were some fans waiting for us who wanted autographs, but we were rushed onto the bus.

I went and collapsed onto my tiny little bed. "Carla?"

"Yeah?"

It was Jason. "Listen, I wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"Well, I..."

**Sorry for the cliffhanger. It's late and i'm tired. You can probably guess what he's going to say. Peace.**
