"What is it? Adam!!" I said

"Okay, Kayla welcome Mr. James White... Mr. James this your student" Adam said.

"Oh, Ms. Kayla, nice to meet you. So, when do you wanna begin?" Mr. James White said cheerfully.

"Student!! Begin what? Sorry, I mean nice to meet you too but...!" I said confused.

"Wait, calm down, I will explain so I don't wanna you get nervous... Okay, I knew that you were playing guitar. Suddenly, you forgot how to play it because you were depressed so, you stopped it also because it hurts you that you can't. I bought Mr. James to train you to get back to what you loved since you were young" Adam said putting while patting his hand on my shoulder.

"Kayla?! Are you okay? Why aren't you happy? This what you wanted from a couple of weeks ago and you were sad about it. Here is the chance to get back to it" Ellie said putting her hands on my both arms

"I just....I.. " Kayla said sadly/scared

"I know babe... It's hard to remember it and I am really really sorry........but here your chance to get back to it, try one more time it's your favorite thing to do you have to get back to it. SO, KAYLA COLLIN ARE YOU READY TO GET BACK TO IT" Adam said cheering Kayla up

"I... I..." I said stuttering

"Kaaay, you can do it what are you afraid of? I'm here next to you! I'm here for you. You will get back playing guitar, isn't it your favorite?" He said cheering me up.

"Come on", "yea, Kay come on", "you can do it as always" they all said at the same time

"Okay... Okay.. (she said smiling)ummm(she take a deep breathe) Can we start now?" she said asking

"Of course" Mr. James White

"Kay Kay, I brought your guitar" she said excitedly.

"Then I am going to make a delicious cake for you all to celebrate" my mom said happily voice

"Okay, come Kay and Mr. James sit there in our living room it is more comfortable for both of you and for the rest of us we will be next to you listening to your adorable perform, sweetie" My dad said happily/excitedly

"Adam!" I said

"Yes!" he said

"Thank you... Thank you sooo much" she said it while standing on her tiptoes kissing Adam on his cheek. I feel his breathe is getting heavily then he said

"Um.. No problem love.. It is all only for you"
I raised my hand to touch his face then I hold my guitar nervously, I start listening to Mr. James lessons remembering step by step.

***

It took days to get back as I was but, surely I'm now more better than before, and I finished all my sessions with Mr. James White. My psychology now way more perfect, I change completely by getting back to what I had loved to do for years plus by getting back to it, I get back to singing. Mr. James was so surprised of my talent, he was proud of me and he believe in me. According to him I was different from others... So different, he told me that my voice was warm, charming, and affectionate like a Nightingale.

After that, he told me to participate in a contest to prove to everyone had doubts or tyrannizes your abilities and that you can. Adam welcome this suggestion, he is so excited about it, and he/my family/ Ell encourage me to do it.

AND I DO IT

***
AND NOW WITH THE NEXT PARTICIPANT KAYLA COLLIN

Applause

I enter with my guitar nervously, I sit on the chair trying to reach with my hands the mic to set it up, I take a deep breathe, and start to sing:

"🎶What's left to say?
These prayers ain't working anymore
Every word shot down in flames
What's left to do with these broken pieces on the floor?
I'm losing my voice calling on you

'Cause I've been shaking
I've been bending backwards till I'm broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?

Can you use these tears to put out the fires in my soul?
'Cause I need you here, woah

'Cause I've been shaking
I've been bending backwards till I'm broke
Watching all these dreams go up in smoke

Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?

Can beauty come out of ashes?🎶"

The stage was full of silence

SUDDENLY

Applause is shaking the stage from it's hardness. I am so happy, and they start to cheer with my name. After that, I get out to the backstage excited and so happy to the extent that I feel that I am flying in the sky. I ran towards Adam and hug him tightly. He said happily

"I'm so proud of you, honey"

"You did a great job sweetie" My dad said proudly

"Really!" I said

"Of course" my mom said hugging me

Then one of the allies who are responsible of the backstage tell us to wait for the results of the contest at the end of this competition. We wait and wait and wait and wait until they tell to all the participants to go back to the stage, and we all wait for the winner. My heart is rushing so fast, oh my god I can't...

AND THE WINNER IS........

HAAAALLIAN JO....

My heart dropped and I didn't listen to any other single word.....
