"Can I get a medium caramel frappuccino?" The teenage girl asked with a small smile.
"That'll be 4.36." I said.
She handed me a $5, telling me to keep the change before going to the other of the counter.
I went over to start making it, as the back doors swung opened.
"Emilia. Welcome back." I squeaked turning around.
Jackson Wilson stood there with a smile, uniform and all.
"Th-thank you." I sutter as I went back to making the girl her drink.
Jackson Wilson was supposed to come on the trip but got suspended he's also my first crush before Ryan the ex. He's also Trevor Wilson's son.
"Have a nice day." I told the girl as she nodded.
I went to clean up the tables after the girl left.
"So." Jackson blocked me.
"How was France?" He asked.
"It was amazing. I kind of wish I never left." I told him.
"Maybe when we graduate. You can go back." I looked down.
"I guess. I mean there is a school École Normale Supérieure, it has a great performing arts program and the school is beautiful." The school imprinted on my mind.
"Sounds like the perfect school for you." Jackson smiled.
"It is. Wish you could've went with us."
"I've been to France multiple times already." He told me.
"Still. It would've been fun." I said as he chuckled.
"Only if I got to hangout with you." I blushed as the door opened.
A old couple came in as I cleared my throat.
"I should." I pointed at the couple before going to take their order.
The band of the night were setting up as I made my way to the counter to drop off the dirty dishes.
"Hey Emmy." I looked up to see Julie and Flynn.
"Hey girls." Jackson came over to grab some sugar.
He smiled before going back to the table.
"Did Jackson Wilson just smile at you?" Flynn asked.
"Yeah." I said giggly.
"Go Emmy."
"Emilia." The manager, Justin came over.
"Yes boss?" I asked.
"The lead singer just told me, he can't sing tonight because he lost his voice." I rose a brow.
"How can you talk to him if he lost his voice?"
"That's not the point, Emilia! The point is I need you to sing." My smile dropped.
"Oh. I can't." I shook my head.
I went back to grab a cup and started making a drink as Julie came over.
"You haven't sung since mom died either haven't you." I felt tears in my eyes as I shook my head.
"Emilia." Julie grabbed my hand.
"You can do this. You are the most talented singer and musician ever, you are sensational Emmy. You can do this." I wiped my eyes.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Justin, she'll do it!"
Luke's POV:
The boys and I appeared behind Julie and Flynn as they sat at a table in a cafe."Hey Julie." We sat at the table.
"Hey." She said nervously as I rose a brow.
"What's wrong?" I asked as the lights turned down.
"Hey everybody. There's a little change tonight, the bands lead singer has lost his voice." Everyone started to boo.
"But but." They calmed down.
"Our very own Emilia Molina will be performing, so without further ado." He walked off the stage as the light trained on Emilia.
As Emilia finished everyone started to cheer as I looked up at her in amazement, my jaw hung opened.
"Luke?" Julie snapped her fingers in front of my face.
"She is extraordinary."
"That's the first time, she sung since mom died." Julie told me.
"Hey guys, I have a couple things left to do then we can go." Emilia said as she ran over.
"Okay."
I smiled at Julie before going to Emilia, who was washing dishes.
"That was amazing." I told her.
"Thank you." She whispered.
"I'm serious, you were perfect." She smiled looking down as I smiled.
"I'll see you at home." She nodded as I made my way back to the boys.
