I knock on the door as my mom gets out of her car slowly. "She's here!" I hear a voice say. I chuckle to myself. The door opens showing Isla with her make-up kit. "Hii!" She says lifting her make-up kit up.

Isla shows me to the living room where her two sisters seem to be. "This is Ava...and that's Sydie" she says pointing to each girl. We all politely wave as Isla tells me to sit next to her. I hear my mom laughing as Kristin joins along.

"Can I put some of my make-up on you now?" Isla asks. "How about after dinner?" Isla agrees to what I say and decides to show me her room.

When Isla opens her bedroom door, she is shocked to find Jack laying on her bed solving a rubix cube. "Why are you in my room?!" She asks. "Because my rooms suckssss" Jack whines. "You have all this cool stuff" Jack gets off the bed to touch some of her toys. Isla sets down her make-up kit and runs to Jack to slap him. "Don't touch my stuff" she demands. I laugh.

I sit on the bed taking Jack's rubix cube that is unsolved. I try to solve it which takes about 10 seconds. "Geez you can solve a cube fast" Jack says impressed. I feel proud of myself for making Jack impressed.

As everyone eats dinner, I think how amazing this family is. Meeting and talking to everyone, they all seem very polite and kind.

"So Charlotte, what do you like to do in your free time?" Kristin asks out of the blue. "Well...I like listening to music..." I say softly. "Charlotte is a very good singer" my mom blurts out. "You can sing?" Jack says smiling. "I guess...I'm not that good though" "Oh come on Charlotte I've heard you...you're amazing!" My mom trys to convince me.

"Can we hear you sing?" Isla asks. "No...no I-" "Please?" Jack pouts. "...maybe...another time" I say ending the conersation.

When everyone finishes dinner, Isla drags me to her room so she can put make-up on my face. Jack follows along because he has nothing to do.

After about 20 minutes of sitting in a chair staring st Isla's face, she was done. When I looked in the mirror, I gotta say, she did a pretty good job for a nine year old.

I turn to Jack who looks impressed. "Wow Isla you actually did well" he compliments. "Thanks!" Isla proudly says. Sydnie and Ava walk in who look impressed aswell. "Did you do that Isla? It's not bad" Ava says. "You can take it off if you want" Isla says knowing I wouldn't wanna look like this in public. "Come to my room Charlotte I have make-up remover" Sydnie offers. I follow Sydnie and Ava as Jack stays in Isla's room.

As I remove the last of the make-up, Ava and Sydnie keep staring and smiling at me which is uncomfortable. "Um...did I miss a spot?" I ask. "Do you like Jack?" Ava asks. "Woah woah...I just met him today...I don't even know him that well" I explain. "Come on Charlotte, I can see it in your eyes" Sydnie points out. I roll my eyes as I hear Kristin call Jack and me to the living room.

I sit down on the couch as Jack does the same. We were confused. "Charlotte...hopefully Jack has told you about Why Don't We" Kristin starts to say. I nod. "...they are going on tour in a week...and you are gonna go with them" my mom says. "What?" Jack and I say at the same time. "What about David did you even-" "I talked to David about it and he said it was fine" Krisin says cutting Jacks sentence off.

I was in complete shock. Yeah...it would be nice to meet the rest of the band, but touring with them for about 4 months?...I don't know if I can handle it. "This will be good for you Charlotte, you haven't planned going to college yet so why not do this?" My mom says. I stay quiet.

"We haven't even known each other for a full day yet" I mumble. "Jack...take yourself and Charlotte to your room" Kristin says. We stand up staying nothing and walk into Jack's room.

We both sit on Jack's bed. We stayed silent, as if we had an argument. As I think to myself more...Jack gets up and calls someone. He turns to me and smirked.

"Hello?" A boy says. "Hey Zach. "Oh hey dude. What's going on" Jack turns to me. "Did David talk to you about something yet?" Jack questions as he still faces me. "Oh yea about this Charlotte girl...as long as she's hot I'll be ok with her touring with us" I feel myself blush a little. When Jack and Zach finish the call, Jack tells me we are leaving next week to go to California to start touring.

It has been an hour since my mom and I left Jack's house. It was around midnight, and yet I have not fallen asleep. I quietly walk downstairs to grab a granola bar and water. When I pull my warm blankets over me, I look at my phone realizing Jack texted.

Jack - Hey you still awake?

Me - Yea 😴 I can't seem to fall asleep

Jack - I have something that might work. Listen to Why Don't We 😉

Me - I'll give that a try ❤

Jack - Awesome. Gn 😜

Me - Gn 😘

I try listening to music Jack suggested and looked up Why Don't We. I find a playlist called "Only The Beginning" and play it.

You should be flyin - with me
You could be smiling - with me
You wouldn't be cryin - with me
We could be wild and - we could be free

As I listen to the song I slowly drift to sleep. It actually worked.
