*Connors POV*

It was nice to be back. In the heat. Surrounded by my own. I could see Hannah uncomfortable again. I guess because of the change again.
Paul was taking us back to Matt and Amanda's. We had to still stay there. I wasn't I'm fit enough and Hannah didn't want to go back to hers. "Paul. Can you take me past mine. I want to stay there for a while." Well I guess that statement was false. I felt down from that. But I know she needs her space.

*Hannahs POV*

I had to get my space. Alone time. As Paul dropped me off I waved goodbye. I had to go into the office tomorrow so I had to try and get used to American life again. More relaxed American life. Not stressed life. I say that until tomorrow.

*The next morning*

I woke up early. For once. Ready for work. It was wierd not waking up with Connors arms around me. I just felt lost. I didn't eat much for breakfast. Felt quite sick so didn't want to.

As I arrived at work. No one was here. I had to unlock the door. I've never had to do that. As I walked to my office I noticed a note.
'If your in today. Why. You should be resting' it was matts handwriting but I had to get my office set up. I had a to to put on the wall and a computer to set up. Plus everything else to communicate with Scotland and video ideas. It was slightly stressing me out. That's when it got to my head. And the tv fell off the railings. It landed on me. Luckily sam just arrived in the office and heard the crash. "Hello. Who's here." I heard her. "Help." I just made it out. She came running up and did her best to drag it off me. I was surprisingly unharmed but sore. "What are you doing in today?" I asked sam. "Well it's 10 so it's time to come in. How long have you been in?" "Since like 6" she was shocked at it but I think she understood. "Wait for one of the guys to help you put it up. Don't want you hurting yourself anymore." I nodded and slumped in my chair I hated that I couldn't do things myself.

*1 hour later*

None of the guys came to help me so I just sat and thought of video ideas, and then song ideas. I found some places that sell fiddles and accordions. I exited my office and went to buy them. As I got in my car and put the address in the sat nav I noticed mike pull up in the space next to me. I rolled down the widow. "Where you going Hannah." "To some music shop to get some instruments I had back home and need here." He nodded and I left. It only took me about 10 minutes to get there.
There they had the exact fiddle I had back home and a different accordion but it was the same build.

*Back at the office*

I walked into my office and opened the fiddle. I tuned it and found some of my old music. I hit record on my recording software and started playing. I made sure the others couldn't hear.
I slowly started to remember it and picked up the pace. That's when I got carried away and played quite loudly. I saw Matt at the door. I still had a small office next to his so he could really hear everything. "No no don't stop playing. Your really good." I smiled and blushed at his comment. I put the fiddle down as he left and got the accordion out. I played the same music one octave down as a harmony. It felt good playing again. It made me happy. I can't play guitar so I got that part online. I took the part I'd recorded down to mike. "Watcha think" he nods. "Very good. Now what's it called." "Lon dubh. Blackbird." "Ahh. Now to record lyrics." I nod.
Lon Dubh. Julie fowlis. Lyrics in Gaelic. Of course. Play song now.
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tioc a bhios tu saor
Lon-dubh sgèith, lon-dubh sgèith
Steach dhan t-sòlas dubh na h-oidhche
(Blackbird fly, blackbird, fly, fly...
Into the light, dark black night...)
Lon-dubh a' seinn ann an dubhar na h-oidhche
Tog do sgiathan brist' is èirigh suas
Fad do rè, bha thu a' feitheamh airson an tìd' gu togail rithe
"Wow" I heard mike say as I take of the headphones. I blush and turn around to a role of people with cameras out. They all scatter out. I laugh. "Thanks" I blush while saying. I'm moving nervous and looking down embarrassed. "Don't be embarrassed it was amazing." I bring my phone out to see tons of notifications. 'Great singing' they all said stuff like that. "Gotta go" I ran out of the office and out into my car. I drove home and locked the door. Hiding and crying. I threw my phone out of the window. I was so embarrassed. What were they all filming me. Why did I run away.
