After I showed Robert my wolves we walked back to his office area to continue my “audition” process which was he wanted to see if I could act and memorize the lines and once that he saw I could he gave me the script and told me, “start memorizing that we start on Thursday.” “Alright thank you Robert.” I said and walked to Andy’s trailer and I didn’t see anyone so I decided that I should call the twins to ask their opinion on a subject. They answered the phone and I knew that they were adopted as well and so I asked, “how long did it take you to call your father dad?” “it took us 2-3 weeks before we warmed up to him why you ask?” Jake immediately replied, “Well Jeffrey adopted me, and I feel like I should call him dad I mean he seems like he really cares, and I trust him.” I answered, “Well then talk to him and see how he reacts but anyway thanks for calling us to ask our opinion Shadow we have to go our dad needs us.” Blake said. I got off the couch and looked up from my phone to see Norman standing there I jumped then realized who it was and smiled at him “what’s up Norman?” I asked, “I’m just looking for Andy.” he said to me, “oh they’re having film so scenes so probably there anyways I have to go.” I told him I walked out of Andy’s trailer and walked to the Harley putting on my helmet and revving the engine I saw Norman staring at the bike with surprise then smiling waving at me I then headed off to the house when I got there I didn’t see Jeffrey I looked at the fridge and found a note saying he went to the grocery store. I went to the music room and grabbed an acoustic guitar and started singing. When we were young we were the ones 

The kings and queens oh yeah, we ruled the world 
We smoked cigarettes man no regrets
Wish I could relive every single word 

We've taken different paths 
And travelled different roads 
I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old 

And when you're in the trenches 
And you're under fire I will cover you 

If I was dying on my knees 
You would be the one to rescue me 
And if you were drowned at sea 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe 

I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 

Oh brother, we'll go deeper than the ink 
Beneath the skin of our tattoos 
Though we don't share the same blood 
You're my brother and I love you that's the truth 

We're living different lives 

Heaven only knows 
If we'll make it back With all our fingers and our toes 

5 years, 20 years, come back 
It will always be the same 

If I was dying on my knees 
You would be the one to rescue me 
And if you were drowned at sea 
I would give you my lungs so you could breathe 

I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 

And if we hit on troubled water 
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe 
And we'll be carrying each other 
Until we say goodbye on our dying day 

Because I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 

If I was dying on my knees

You would be the one to rescue me 
And if you were drowned at sea 
I would give you my lungs so you could breathe 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 
I've got you brother-er-er-er 

I finished the chords and saw Jeffrey standing in the doorway smiling having his phone pointed at me and I saw him start typing and then my phone went off and I checked it I saw he posted the video of me singing with the caption, “Singing like a little canary... Sorry Jensen you just got replace.” I smiled and put my phone in my pocket and looked at him, “So I just wanted to say I trust you and when you make promises please mean them and don’t break them Dad please.” I saw tears in his eyes I walked up and wrapped him in an embrace which he gleefully returned.
