"I'm fine, I'm just on edge. If this is how I'm feeling, imagine how Drew's feeling. For 8 years, it was just him and Cal against the world. 8 years. Then I come along and I'm the most important thing in the world to them. Especially when they became my guardians when my parents died."
"It's not your fault. All we can do for them now is pray that they're alright. You need to focus on you and your schooling for now, I'll think about the rest, ok?" she hummed, locking eyes with her.
Kayla smiled at Megan, then paid attention to Mrs Mills, the teacher director. "So, as you all know, Rousseau Performing Arts Academy always does a soundtrack for our musicals. Today is the day that we will be recording the songs in the studio."
She looked up that the teacher and began her stretches, wondering who he'd choose to be singing.
Kayla walked up to Mrs Mills. "I'm not sure if I'm up to singing today, Mrs Mills."
"Oh, that's fine, Kayla. This is only day 1 of 3. You can sing another day."
She rubbed at Kayla's back, trying her best to comfort her.
Kayla suddenly spotted a figure at the back of the auditorium. "Hey, I'll be back," She said to Megan as she walked towards the back.
"OKay" she hummed, letting her go and watching her figure travel to the back of the auditorium.
Kayla perked up when she saw who it was. "Hey Drew," She said, looking around for Calvin. Then she put everything together. andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s very tear stained face, eyes welled with tears and fidgeting hands. Alexia was in a pray and she was sleeping with a sleeping Kelpie on her lap. "Where's Cal?"
(What should I have Megan do rn?)
(watch them from afar or do vocal exercises)
Megan's attention slipped from the teacher to Kayla. She hoped she was doing alright, with everything that was happening and all.
"Cal's dead, Kay," andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) said.
"What? But you said he was fine."
"He was. He went into cardiac arrest ten minutes after they said he was OK. They couldn't save him."
She watched them converse, not being able to read lips. The teacher began to speak about how they should get to warming up now, that we'd be going over a few new steps.
Tears swelled and threatened to fall. Kayla let them as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) pulled her into a hug. She felt a few tears fall on the top layer of her hair.
She placed a shoe over her feet, her back already being turned and begun her warm up.
Kayla pulled away from her brother and wiped away tears. She looked at Alexia. "Are you and Grace going to be Alexia's guardians?"
The music was soon turned on, and all of her thoughts were tuned out by it, her feet moving with the music.
"We will be," andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) replied. Connor ran up, sad but not as upset as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) and Kayla.
She streched some more, her feet framing the positions with perfection
"Kayla, we need you. You're in most of the songs and Mrs Mills wants to do your duet with Megan first," Connor said. Kayla put on her brave face.
Megan looked over at the sound of her name, walking over
Alexia then woke up. Kayla knelt down and kissed Alexia on the forehead, running her thumb over the child's small cut on her cheek. She then ran a hand over Kelpie's smooth fur and stood up.
(Wait, I'm very confused, there's a dog?)
(yeah. Go to a past reply and you'll see that she's there)
