Adam- your pov

"Have a good day at the studio." I say and give him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks babe, maybe we'll get to leave a bit earlier today." He says and I smile. "Hopefully, I'm just going to be cleaning. Is it okay if I clean up the music room? I know you're a little defensive over your instruments." I say and he laughs. "It's fine, just try not to break anything." He says jokingly. "I'll try, have fun babe." I say and kiss him one last time before he walks out the front door. I grab the duster and the broom, then head up to the instrument room.  I see that the ILIWYSFYASBYSUOI vinyl is in the record player, so I start playing it. A few songs play, then Change of Heart comes on and I make sure to turn it up a little more.

"You smashed a glass into pieces. That's around the time I left, when you were coming across as clever then you lit the wrong end of a cigarette." I sing and simultaneously sweep under the record shelf. "I didn't know you could sing." Adams voice says from behind me, which scared the crap out of me. "I can't." I say while grabbing my heart, which was still beating fast.

"You sing so good! Seriously!" He says wth so much excitement. "I mean I was in vocal competitions when I was 14-15, but I'm no Ariana Grande." I say with a lighthearted laugh. "Well you could of told me! It's so good. Wow." He says with a huge smile.

George- his pov

I walk into the house, but it was dead silent. "Y/n?" I call out but no reply. Her car was in the driveway, so she has to be here. "Y/n?" I call out again, but still no answer. She might be asleep knowing her. I drop my stuff off by the door, then I make my way up the stairs quietly. I walk into the room and she was at our desk, her back was to me. Her headphones were placed in her ears, so that's why she couldn't hear me.

I creep up behind her, planning to scare her, but I see what she's doing... she's drawing a picture of me. It was so realistic. I grabbed her shoulders, she jumped like 5 feet in the air (over-dramatization.) "You scared the crap out of me!" She says while grabbing my hands that were still placed on her shoulders. "Sorry. So you can draw?" I ask, even though it's a rhetorical question. "I mean I guess." She says with a shrug. "You guess? You guess! Heck yes you can draw! You draw pretty well!" I say happily. "Thanks babe." She says while I take the drawing to examine further. "Wow... just wow." I say.

Matty- his pov

"Matty do you want to see something magical?" She asks and I chuckle. "Sure." I tell her. "I'll be right back." She says while running up the stairs, she comes back with a old, black Fender strap. "Wow that's pretty magical, and beautiful. Can I see it?" I ask and she nods. She carefully passes it to me, she had an accomplished smile on her face. "Where did you get it?" I ask while playing a few strings. "My cousin passed away when I was younger, his parents gave me his guitar when I was 15. When I went to my parents house last weekend they gave it to me, it's been sitting there for a while." She says and I nod. "I'm sorry about your cousin." I say with a frown. "It's okay, I'm really surprised they gave me it. They held it close to them." She says and I nod. "It's beautiful, but why give it to you?" I ask and she laughs. "I played guitar, I took lessons. My friends and I wanted to make a band. As you can see, it didn't work out." She says and I laugh.

I pass it back to her and she starts strumming one of our favorite songs, Bethlehem (by Declan McKenna). "Wow you are good babe." I say while clapping, she slowly stops playing. "Thank you." She says with a small smile.

Ross- your pov

"Babe can you help me in here?" Ross yells, I find him in the music room. "Yes babe." I say while leaning against the door frame. "Which one sounds better?" He asks while playing a C sharp, then a A flat. "Play me part of the song with the C sharp." I say and he does it. It sounds fine, but it doesn't sound right. "Play the other option." I say and he did it. "They both sound good, but try this." I say while walking further into the room. I motion for him to scoot over. I begin playing the part of the song that he did but added in the A major chord (A-C#-E) and it completely sets it off. "Wait... how did you play that?" He asks in shock.

"I learned by ear when I was a kid, then had piano lessons for years." I say and his eyes widen. "Really? Why has this been a secret?" He asks surprised. "It hasn't been, usually when you go to the studio I come in here to play." I say and he huffs. "That's just crazy, I'm so happy. This is so cool." He says and I laugh. "I'm glad it makes you happy." I say with a smile, then give a light hearted laugh.
