Chapter 10

Mack P.O.V.

I'm in the Top 10 for The Voice and this week I'm singing "Favourite Flowers" by Luke Bryan. I'm so mad at Blake though because I've spent probably 100+ hours practicing yet he still calls me in on a Sunday at 8a.m. "Good morning, how are ya," he asks. "Tired" I reply. "Well it's just gonna be a quick practice, ok," "Ok," I respond smiling. I go get set up behind the microphone as Blake gets settled on his stool. I finish singing and I look up at Blake smiling. "That was great. Ya hit all the notes on key. Guess you took my advice and practiced anytime you could, huh?" but it wasn't Blake saying that. I turn around to see Luke Bryan standing behind me. I fall to the ground and I feel the tears start to slowly trickle out of my eyes. I taste the saltiness as some of them go into my mouth. I feel a pair of strong arms pull me closer to their body into their lap. I look up to see the Luke Bryan sitting on the floor with me in his lap. We sit there for close to 45 minutes as I calm down. He never stops hugging me. "Now, darling, I've seen you sing on T.V. and thought your voice was great. Hearing it in person it's amazing," Luke says as he smiles down at me. "Wow, thank you," I respond as I hug him. "How 'bout we go sit in some chairs now 'cause my leg is asleep." "Sure."

Me and Luke talked for 4 and a half hours. It was great. We sang for 3. I was packing up to go home when Luke stops what he's doing. "That's where I know you from," I hear him murmur. "Pardon," "Two years ago, MSG, I pulled you on stage. It was your birthday. Your parents were there and your dad was holding the sign that said "Birthday Girl" in camo duct tape on the orange sign. I pulled you on stage-" "Quite literally" "Yeah, sorry, anyways then I sang to you and gave you my hat." " Yeah, I was gonna say something but I thought you wouldn't remember. And they weren't my parents," I say. "What," " The guy was my godfather and brother-in-law, Kyle, and the girl was my sister, Kasy. They had custody of me but had to put me into foster care which happens to be with my boyfriends fam-am I boring you," I ask. "No you're not darling," "Ok, anyways I'm in foster care with my boyfriends family being my foster family but I'm moving to a new one when I get back because you can only be in a foster home for so long so now I'm going to Kyle and Kasy's. But I go to my sisters house on the weekends and help them with there 9 month old son Arthur Jakobi who we call AJ." " Wow," he says "Ok you two we gotta go," Blake says. "Oh and miss Makynzi I have some exciting news." I see Blake and Luke smiling. "..."
