“So what are we going to do about my clothes, I mean I guess I could go without them but I do need more clothes for the trip.” I hated asking my dad for anything that cost a lot of money.

            “Well I have a meeting tomorrow and the boys are going shopping during that, I guess you could go with them or wait for me to finish the meeting. I’d hate for you to be bored while I'm working.” I hugged him.

            “That’s OK Daddy; I’ll go with the boys if they don’t mind me tagging along,”

            “Sounds like a plan. Now, go get some sleep, I can tell your exhausted.” He smiled and hugged me back. I ran to my room and changed into a pair of sweatpants and tank top, well a different pair because I was already wearing that today. I grabbed my guitar and ruffled through my song bag and pulled out a random song. I smiled at my selection and grabbed my guitar. I merely glanced at the sheet before my hands and fingers formed the appropriate chords. Music flowed from the instrument and I began to sing.

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
Are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

            I lost myself in the music and let the song take over. I heard someone knock then open my door but that was in another world, right now I was in my own world, surrounded by the words of Chris Daughtry. My right hand gripped my lucky green pick that Blake Shelton had given to me on my tenth birthday. Whenever I played with the pick, it made every song sound perfect, and it would never skip or nag on a string. I kept it on a small chain around my neck so it hung close to my heart.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,

            My fingers froze and lifted from the strings as the last chords rang in the air.

            “Wow that was great!” someone said from the doorway and I jumped up startled.

            “Niall?” I asked looking at the grinning blonde boy.

            “Hey Cara, that was amazing! You left your mobile in the car,” he handed me my iPhone and I smiled. “I put mine and the lad’s numbers in there for you, you know, just in case you wanna hang out or whatever,”

            “Thanks Niall,” I gave him a quick hug. “Hey would you guys mind me tagging along when you go shopping tomorrow, one of the fans kinda stole my suitcase,” I blushed.

            “Seriously?” he started laughing and I couldn’t help but laughing too. “of course you can come, our treat,” he smiled.

            “Oh no Niall I couldn’t make you guys pay for my clothes,” he put his hand over my mouth and just smiled again.

            “Our treat, I’ll see you tomorrow, goodnight Cara,” he kissed my forehead that left it tingling.

            “Bye Niall,” I whispered but he was probably already out of the room. I fell back on my bed and ran my hand through my dark hair; I was never going to fall asleep now.
