Our Love

Alex and Co.

So the weekend flew by, and we were back to mentoring. I decided that to start the day off you need to have donuts, so I got up early and went to the store to grab some. On my way back, I grabbed coffee for Leon and I. Today Leon and I are going to teach the kids how to write a song. I walk into Angie's room and start to get everything ready, when I feel arms engulfing me into a hug. "Morning princess." I smile. "Morning Leon." I turn and give him a kiss. afterwards he looks behind me and his face lights up. "DONUTS!" He yelled and went straight for the box. "Only one, till the group gets here." I say as I give him his coffee. He pretends to pout but it doesn't work. Soon the kids start to come in. "Donuts!" Emma yells and Alex, Christian and Sam run in. "Thanks Vilu!" Nicole says. I nod and tell her they can have more later.

"Alright today Leon and I are going to teach you how to write a song." I tell them as we sit in a circle and eat. "You have to feel it. The best ones come from emotion." Leon yells them. "What was the first song you wrote together?" Emma asks us. "It's called Find More Tears" Leon says. "Cool can we head it?" Alex asks as he shoved a donut in his mouth. We all look at him. "What?" He exclaims and the girls and I laugh it off.

"That was amazing!" Christian yelled and everyone nodded. "Now it's your turn. What do you guys feel strongly about." Leon asks. Everyone sits there and thinks. "I think we all feel strongly about music." Nicole brings up. "I like that idea. Now all you need to do is grow it into lyrics." I tell her. "How about music speaks words give up I feel free I let He music take me to places I dream of." Emma sings. "That's good. Now keep conversing." I tell them. Leon and I watch as they all talk and tell each other lyrics. It's about lynx when I tell them to to go and grab something to eat. "When you get back, we want to hear what you have." Leon yells then as they walk out. They nod and go to get something to eat.

All the mentors meet up for lunch to talk about our different kids. "Luna has a voice. She sings so well." Fran comments "they all sing well. I was walking past the different rooms and each one sounded great." Maxi told us. "These are a good group of kids. I'm glad we could mentor them." Ludmi says. "Me too." I add. We keep talking until lunch is almost up. "Hey girls, can I talk to you a sec?" They nod and we go to a corner. "This weekend are you guys free? I think I'm going to go dress shopping." They all scream "of course we will!" I have to plug my ears. "Okay, I'll text you later in the week about the details." They nod and we head off to our rooms.

"Why were you guys screaming Vilu?" Emma asks me as I walk back. "Oh, we are going dress shopping for the wedding." "That will be fun. You'll have to show me and Nicole pictures." Definitely." I tell her as I walk into the room. "Alright so show us what you have." Leon tells us. They sing what they have and we give them tips. "Make sure that you are all singing. Not just one person." I comment. "And make sure that the chorus mostly stays the same." Leon added. They nod and continue to work on it. We end up showing them dance moves and they said that they believe they can have it done by the end of the day. I run to go ask Pablo if they can preform before school ends.

"Sure, I think it would be wonderful. It would allow them to be critiqued by their peers." "Thanks Pablo." He nods and I go back to tell them. They practice a couple of more times and we get them to the zoom to rehearse. I walk to Nicole. "Are you okay? You seem a little bit on edge." She nods. "I'm just scared. I don't really know how I fit in and I think I have stage fright." She says trying to keep tears in. "Oh, Nicole. These are your friends including Leon and me. We will always be here to push you but also be here for you to Leon." She nods. Before she leaves she looks at me "Can I tell you a secret? Something that you can't tell anyone else, especially Alex." I nod. "I have a crush on him." I smile. " I could see that." She looks shocked. "Was I that obvious?" I laugh. "No, you act the same way around Alex as I did with Leon. Now I'm engaged to him, who knows what the future holds for you two." Nicole smiles at me. "Your like the older sister I never had Vilu. Thank you." I nod. "Now go rock out on the stage." I tell her and she runs to get ready.

I walk over to Leon. "Is everything okay with Nicole?" "Yes, I think her and Alex might be the new me and you if the studio though." He laughs at my comment. "You can never be replaced. At least not to me." He says and I smiled back. "When did you get so corny?" "When I met you." He replies back and I give him a kiss. Soon everyone piles in. Alex walks up to the mike. "Hi, everyone. I'm Alex and we are Alex and Co. This song was inspired by something we feel deeply about and from the lesson we have learned from Leon and Violetta, that is where some of the best songs come from. We hope you enjoy our new song Music Speaks" he says and they get ready to sing.

Leon and I scream the loudest. We run up and hug them. "That was amazing guys! We are so proud of you!" I tell them as I hug them. "We couldn't have done it without you Vilu and Leon." Sam tells us and we look at each other. I nod and he smiles. "Lets go hear what they have to say and then we need to ask you something." He tells them and they nod. "That was great Alex and Co. I think you guys will make a fine band one day." Antonio says. "Did you write this yourself?" Pablo asks and they nod. "Leon helped us with or dance moves" Emma says "and Vilu pointed us in the right direction." Nicole adds. Pablo smiles. "I'm glad to hear that. You all are dismissed." Everyone leaves except us.

"Hey guys, you might want to sit down for this." Leon tells them. They look worried. "Don't worry guys it isn't anything bad." I add and they sit down. "I was wondering if Emma and Nicole would like to be part our my part of the wedding. You two are like little sisters I don't have, and I do need some flower girls." The smile at each other "Yes! We would love to be part of your wedding!" They get up and hug me." I smile. "Would two of you like to escort them and the other one be the ring-bearer?" Leon ask and all of them nod. " just to let you know you are going to have to go get suits." Leon tells the guys and they nod. "And girls, you will have to go dress shopping with me this weekend." They nod and seem excited. We smile at each other. "Alright we will see you this weekend." I tell them and they leave. " I think everyone has a place in our wedding." "I agree Vilu." We walk back to the dorms and tell everyone of our added additions, especially the girls.
