Me and Ryland were fooling around until he jokingly said "hey you should have a YouTube channel" Ive actually thought about the idea. Vlogs, music, conspiraciiiiies... Ryland encouraged me to make it, so I set up a camera and decided we could film something. "What should never film?" I ask him. "I dont know" "Oh! We both like Dear Evan Hansen, we could sing a cover" "... Like a duet!!" He exclaimed. I immediately knew the song. I already had Waving Through A Window memorised on the guitar so we could sing a cover of that as a duet. I told Ryland the plan and he loved it. We're probably never going to upload it, but, it'll be fun. We take a while rehearsing and then I turn on the camera. The first part was mine.

"I've learned to slam on the breaks.
Before I even turn the key...
Before I make a mistake.
Before I lead with the worst of me..

Give them no reason to stare.
No slipping up, if you slip away.
So I got nothing to share.
No, I've got nothing to say..."

I sing looking up during the pause. Me and Ryland both breath in to sing the next part.

"Step out, step out of the sun, if you keep getting burned...
Step out, step out of the sun, because you've learned... Because you've learned..."

I smile at him as he takes his part.

"On the outside always looking in, will I, ever be more than Ive always been?
Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass.
Waving through a window.."

He has the most amazing voice I've ever heard. I'm completely stunned as I stare at him joining in.

".. I. Try to speak but nobody an hear so i, wait around for an answer to appear while I'm watch, watch, watching people pass..
Waving through a window, oh."

I smile at, him and stop strumming. "Wow. That's was... Amazing." I manage to say still breath taken. "Oh, uh.. Thanks." Ryland blushes scratching his neck.  *ding*  my phone goes off.

Morgan: get Ryland go climb through the window, our mom is here. Me and uno are in the backyard. Tell Ryland to go into his room and out the front door. Hurry before your mom sees us!

I instantly tell Ryland and he kisses me goodbye before edging as instructed. I run down the stairs to see our mom's standing in the living room. "Whats going on?" I ask. "Your Shane, aren't you?" Ryland mom glares. "Yes...?" She rolls her eyes. I feel so bad for Ryland, he had to live with this. I can smell her acholic breath from where I'm standing. "Well, Ryland not here, I haven't heard of him today so you have no reason to be here" I say, pointing to the door. She scoffs and heads out. "So glad I'm not her" My mom says rolling her eyes walking, away from the door. "Sorry Ryland had to leave so quickly" "Oh, it's fine" I say, grabbing, a cookie. "You guys sounded beautifully up there" "....thanks mom.."
