Annabeth's POV

    "So are you guys going to let us inside?" Mitchie joked as the 4 of us stood in the door way.

"Please excuse them, they're hopeless. Hi, I'm Alex. Please come in." Alex pushed them aside, by leading a hand over to us. Mitchie grabbed it and I followed them in.

His house was in beverly hills, and it was exaclty how one may imagine a house in Beverly hills to look. It was fancy... but in the cool type of way. Not like some country club mom designed it or something.

"Nice place you got here." Mitchie said to Alex, already flirting a bit as she followed him into the kitchen.

I turned over to the living room and noticed a grand piano, and about 3 guitars. They were so beautiful. I wanted to cry!?

"Do you play?" Niall snuck up next to me and said.

I jumped a bit, from being startled.

"Yes." Harry and I both said at the same time. I turned back around to see the lad looking a bit embarrassed it seemed. But him trying to answer for me was actually pretty sweet, so I gave him a reassuring smile.

 "Haha, yes, I do. I play both actually. Andddddd you guys don't know badly I want to play that piano right now." I continued my answer as I walked over to it, and gently traced my fingers along the side.

"Well, it's here to be played. Go right ahead." Niall encouraged me.

"Or better yet," Harry began. I watched him go over to the guitars and pick one up (I assumed this was his). "Let's have a jam session." He finished.

Angelic heaven music was practically playing in my mind right now because this had only been my dream for, hmmm, I don't know... FOREVER.

"Really? I'd love that." I replied. Trying my best to hold back my overjoyed excitement.

"I'll take lead guitar, Harry you take second." Niall said while grabbing a hold of his.

"What song do you want to do, Beth?" Harry asked me kindly.

"Umm... Shoot you guys, that's a lot of pressure. Er, well, I guess I'll just start playing a song I think you guys would both know, and then just sing along and play when you get it, alright?" I suggested, wasn't sure if this was a stupid idea or not.

"Oh okay so it's like a surprise than?" Niall said with a smirk towards me. I gave him a shy nod then smiled down at my hands on the piano keys.

I sat and thought for a moment, then came up with a nice song I hoped the two of them knew.

I began playing the intro of Read All About it pt.III by Emeli Sande, and I looked over at the two of them for responses. Niall gave a solid nod then quickly began strumming, and Harry bit his lip with a smile down at his guitar. I think they both knew it.

I started the singing

Beth:

You've got the words to change a nation

But you're biting your tongue

You've spent a life time stuck in silence

Afraid that you'll say something wrong

If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?

I felt all of their eyes on my while I sang on my own. I guess even Harry hadn't heard me sing without him yet. It kind of put on a lot of pressure to not mess up, although I'm sure my voice flopped a couple of times.
