I follow Tyler down a hallway and I walk into a room that consists of multiple people. 5 of those people were Why Don't We and sitting in front them was their photographer/videographer, Zack Caspary. They were sitting behind a camera stand with a camera on top of it (duhh). 

"Hi, are you Harmony?" the blonde haired boy, Corbyn, said.

"Uh, y-yes I am," I replied studdering a little bit.

"What will you be singing for us?" the curly-haired boy, Jack, said.

"Um, I'll be singing Words Fail from the musical Dear Evan Hansen," I reply a little nervous still.

"I've never heard of it. Would you mind giving us a summary or something to know the background of the song?" The blue-eyed boy, Daniel, said.

"Sure. Well, it's about a young man with a social anxiety disorder who so yearns to make a connection with his peers that he fabricates a relationship with a deceased student to become closer to the boy's family. And a lot of other stuff happens along the way including suicide and others. It's a very sad musical but it has a very strong message in it."

"Wow. We will have to go see it sometime," the tallest boy, Jonah, says.

"Yeah," I reply.

"Well you can start anytime you like," the one with the messy hair, Zach, says.

"Ok."

The music starts and I calm myself down.

I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be
That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it, a little bit too
This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
I never let them see the worst of me
'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun

When I finish I open my eyes and everyone is silent. The 6 boys sitting behind the camera looked like they were about to cry. They also looked shocked. Did I really do that bad? No. Yes. I don't know.

"Are you guys ok?" I question them, hoping one of them would say something.

"Wow," Jack said in shock.

"That was amazing," Corbyn says.

"All these girls come in here and sing their heart out, but this is different, in a good way though," Jonah says in shock.

"Well, we will get back to you in a few days after we audition the last place. Tyler will show you out. Have a great rest of your day," Zack says from behind the camera.

"Thanks you too guys."

"Bye cutie." Daniel and Jack say at the same time.

"Bye," I chuckle and blush a little.

I walk back into the big room where we waited, and I see Hayley. She runs up to me and says, "How did it go?!" 

"It went good I think. I really don't know," I respond. "But Jack and Daniel called me cute, too." Chuckling a little.

"Really?" she questions with excitement.

"Yes, they did. Now let's go get some ice cream or something."

"Ok ok. Let's go."
