I had a dream of myself singing this song that had alot of hurt behind it, all the arrangments were sick, but i saw tears in my eyes and Passion was crying as well.She hugged me and told me everything would be ok,and that it wasnt my fault. What does this dream mean, what happened was all that was running thru my head. I walked out of the studio and drove off. i seen i missed a call from--



BUZZ BUZZ



When i woke up the next morning I felt a constant vibration, i sat up and seen my phone was reciving a facetime call from Jacob. i answered and he just straight faced me for like 3 minutes before I mugged him and he smiled.


Jacob : Hey, wassup kiddo

Ciara : I was asleep before you called, wassup

Jacob : Well we have to fly you in early, and your performance wit Stevie Wonder is cancelled. He is very ill and wont be able to do the set. However you can do a solo perfomance. The only problem is you dont have a song

Kelontae : Yes she does

I turned and seen him looking up at me smiling. When i turned back to the camera Jacob had a look of anger on his face, i smiled and played it cool.

Ciara : Yea actually his dad and me were talking and he says he has a song he would love to produce for me, I was gonna check it out but if its this urgent ill record it and send it in immediately

Jacob : I guess that will have to work, but your flight leaves at 4, its 11 now so you have a few hours to pack, record, and go get a dress since you never got one

Ciara : Umm... How do you know i dont have one

Jacob : I didnt, you just told me

He hung up and I got up and started getting ready right away. I packed some clothes then we were out the door. We walked into Kelontae's house in a frenzy, when i explained everything Tamika said she would get me a dress, as well as take De'Jon, Brooke, and Kelontae to get something to wear as well. With that being said i walked into the studio with is dad and started working on the song called " Lions,Tigers,Bears". It was just right for my voice. His dad really coached me and made me do something new, he made me sing out. I really wasnt one to sing full throttle, but his dad wasnt having it any other way. when i finished everyone came back and we did quick fittings. While i was being fitted his dad came out the studio looking very excited.

Jacion : Girl, you killed this song. I remember when wrote this song for Champagne, i went against alot to record it for her. I still wish she would have seen how hard i tried

Ciara : Who's Champagne

Tamika : She is our oldest daughter, she use to sing alot too. She didnt wanna sing gospel, she was big on soul. My husband and i were into gospel. I sang and he played. She had a gospel voice but she didnt wanna sing it. She was in love with her soul music. Her and Kelontae use to go head and head all the time-

Kelontae : When i started singing gospel she felt like she didnt belong in this family anymore. So she recorded on last song in the studio and then she disappeared. She sent a letter last year around new years saying she was a demo singer now, and was working toward a record deal-

Jacion : She never spoke to us since, we wrote back telling her we could help. But she never wrote back

Ciara : Wow. Can i hear the song.. if its ok with you guys

Jacion plugged in his phone to the aux cord. He dearched for the song and hit play

Lu as the song ended i felt tears in my eyes, her voice was so stunning. Kelontae wiped some of his own and walked away. Brooke followed, she comforted him in the corner. De'Jon walked to the family room. I wiped the tears while looking at my watch. it read 3:30. I froze and told the otheres we had to leave like now. They looked up and grabbed all the stuff we were taking. I looked at brooke as she hummed, she has a voice on her too. Im gonna invest in her, she her how to control her gift. Basically all the things noone ever taught me. As we walked out i seen a picture of a girl on the wall. I looked at it and instantly knew that was her, that was Champagne. She looked so Beautiful.

 I walked out and got in the car, i thought about that voice all the way to the airport, and even when we boarded the plane and landed

I walked out and got in the car, i thought about that voice all the way to the airport, and even when we boarded the plane and landed. I could shake that voice out of my head. I pulled my slef together and called her a limo to come get us from the airport. Next thing i know a part bus pulls up and everyone comes out yelling and screaming charging full speed at me. Evn Passion looked happy to see me. I hugged them all Romello being the last person. H e seen Kelontae and he shook his hand, it was akward at first but they both released and laughed about whatever the tension between them was.

Jacob : You read-

Brooke : OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Ciara : Guys this is Brooke, De'Jon, and well yall already know Kelontae from the white and silver ball. She follows all of you guys, she is everyone's biggest fan. Like Literally all of us are on her wall. She also sings, she really gonna make a dope artist one day

Kelontae : Yea, so will De'Jon. Plus he got some sick rhymes

Issa : Wow, well its nice to meet you guys. Yall seem to be some dope ppl. Cant wait to hear these gifts yall got

Everybody Else : Yea, me neither

We all got on the bus and rode to the
house, Jacob and passion showed Brooke and De'Jon around the house while Kelontae and I put all the luggage upstairs. When i walked back in the room it looked different. It had alot of throwback pictures all over the place. I smiled as i looked at some of them, i remembered all the good times we had. I smiled and truned to see the guys looking at me with puppy dog eyes, their hands held signs that spelled we miss you best friend. i ran and hugged them. Brooke snapped a picture and put it on instagram. We all laughed at all the pictures were we were fighting over toys. It was cute. Once we all seen the pictures we all went our seperate ways and did our own thing. Kelontae went with the boys who went to go play ball. De'Jon was hesitant until Diggy told him they could spit some bars in the studio if he didnt wanna play ball. He smiled and ran to the studio door. I am glad they are enjoying themselves. Brooke and Keke are now sharing fashion tips. Keke smiled when she seen how much they had in common, they could have been sisters frfr. I walked into my room and layed down, before i knew it i was sleep. Today was a good day, but my sleep only lasted a matter of seconds before Natalie walked in the room saying she liked the kids and wanted to work with them on some music. I said sure. But of course that wasnt all she wanted i winded up staying up until the boys got back. Everything kinda died down after that. WhIle Kelontae bathed i showed the kids were they would be sleeping and then i went to bed myself. I was sleep when the bed dipped and i felt Kelontae wrap his arms around me. I felt him kiss me and eventually go to sleep himself. today was a good day.
