I stood in front of Jacks front door, composing myself. Why? I have no idea. I knock on his door. Seconds later the door opened revieling a man. He was about a foot taller than me and looked exactly like Jack, except his hair was a dark brown color.

"Wby, hello there!" He greeted me cheerfully. "You must be Elsa! Jack's tols us a lot about you! He's upstairs in his room, first door on the right." I thanked him and followed his directions. When i got to the door, I heard the sound of Jacks laughter. I knocked softly and slowly open the door. Jack was laying on his bed talking on the. .... phone. The Beatles was playing on a CD player next to his bed. He had a warm smile on his face as he listened to the person talk. I could barely make out a girls voice. I cleared my throat and his head shot up to look at me. Henodded and held up a finger.

"Hey look, Liz," he said. "I gotta go. Talk to you later...Okay, love you too. Bye." While he hung up his phone I tried to catch my breath. They were at the 'I love you' stage. All her hopes of him possibly falling for me shattered like a broken mirror.

"Ready to start?" He took me out of my sad thoughts.

"Yep. I brought over my CD so we could listen to it and work out the harmonies. He nodded and grabbed the CD from my hand. He walked over to his music player and switched the Beatles CD for the Snow Patrol one. I told him the track number and he skipped to that one. The song started playing and every now and then we would make suggestions on how we should sing it and who should sing it. After a wbile, we decided to take a break. Jack switched back to the Beatles CD, he stood up and held out his hand. I took it and he pulled me to him. We started to dance and Jack sang along.
