Anna's POV

"Ahh!"
Tour finished about 2 weeks ago and we had a schedule. Dad and I would stay at home, him doing music and me doing school and if dad had a meeting, I would either go with him or stay home if Mum has a day off. Mum would go to work and come home at about 5. Either Mum or dad would make dinner and most days I would help and then we'd hang out, playing games or something alike.
"Anna? You ok?" Dad calls from downstairs, worried.
"Yeah! Sorry."
A few minutes later dad comes upstairs to find me surrounded with sheets of paper with numbers scribbled on it, a calculator and my laptop.
"What's up?"
"Maths. It's annoying me. Again."
"Is math the only thing your struggling in?"
"Yeah."
"Ok."
He leaves.
Rightio then

I scribble more numbers down and eventually just guess.
"You hungry Anna?"
I turn around to see Mum at the door.
"Uhh no thanks. I'm good."
"Alright. Let me know if you are."
"Thank you."
"Oh, before I go, Brendon has found you a tutor for math."
"Uh ok?"
"What's up?" Mum comes and sits on my bed.
"I do want and I need help with my maths but I don't want to interact with another person. My social anxiety is bad around new people."
"You'll be ok. It's only an hour a week."
"Alright. Thank you."
"Of course love."

She hugs me and kisses my forehead before going back downstairs. I decide that I couldn't be bothered with school work so I pick up my ukulele that I got for my birthday and start playing house of gold.

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease

Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

Oh, and since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone

She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me

I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map
I'll cure you of disease

"Amazing."
"Ahh stop creeping up on me...Josh? I thought you were dad."
"Ahaha nope."
"What's up. Why are you here?"
"Wow. Can't I just come and visit my favourite ukulele player?"
"Of course you can, but isn't he in Ohio?"
"Nope! She's right in front of me. Tyler you're out of the band."

After a moment of laughing I look at him.
"No seriously, why are you here?"
"I wanted to see if you wanted to take up the offer of learning drums."
"Josh, that would be great. But I am not a coordinated person, plus I'm left handed."
"You are aren't you? You willing to learn right handed?"
"If your willing to be patient with this uncoordinated mess."
"Of course I am." He smiles.
Josh tells me that we are going to his house so I grab my phone and purse just in case. I give mum and dad a hug and they seemed to know immediately where I was going without me saying anything. I guess Josh had told them beforehand.
