"Ready?" I ask, standing behind the camera. It's the third time we've had to film. We keep messing up. 

Cami takes a deep breath, "Ready. We better do good this time." 

I hit record and sit down beside Cami with my guitar. 

"Hi, I'm Cami and this is Marcel. We met The Fray the other day... And we snuck into their dressing room, and I played the guitar in there. I didn't think I'd get caught," she smiles, "But I did... So, um, we're gonna sing 'Goodnight Moon' by Go Radio..." 

She looks over at me and I start to strum. She starts to sing. 

"And don't go to bed yet love, I think it's too early 

And we just need a little time to ourselves 

If my wall clock tells me that it's 4 in the morning I'll give it hell 

Cause I've been trying way too long 

To try and be the perfect song 

When our hearts are heavy burdens 

We shouldn't have to bear alone 

So goodnight moon and goodnight you 

When you're all that I think about 

All that I dream about 

How'd I ever breathe without 

A goodnight kiss from goodnight you 

The kind of hope they all talk about 

The kind of feeling we sing about 

Sit in our bedroom and read aloud 

Like a passage from goodnight moon 

And sing for me softly love your song for tomorrow 

And tell me my name's the one that's hidden in there somewhere 

And dream for me anything 

But dream it in color about when all the suns still rising and we don't care 

Cause I've been trying way too long 

To try and be the perfect song 

When our hearts are heavy burdens 

We shouldn't have to bear alone 

So goodnight you and goodnight moon 

When you're all that I think about 

All that I dream about 

How'd I ever breathe without 

A goodnight kiss from goodnight you..." 

"We did it!!" Cami shrieks when we're done, "Thank goodness that's finally over! Let me see it! Wait, no, I don't want to see it. I don't want to hear what I sound like. Now all we need to do is post it to YouTube." 

I plug the camera into the computer and wait for the video to load, "You sure you don't want to hear us? You're really good." 

She shakes her head, "No way." 

I shrug and put the video on YouTube, "It's loading now. It should be up in a few minutes." 

"I'm so nervous. What if it's horrible? What if I don't sound like they thought I would?" 

"Cami, you'll be fine," I reassure her, wrapping my arms around her waist. 

She looks over at me, "Let's hope so. Thank you, for everything." 

"You're welcome, Cam." 

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? About all this," she says facing me and gesturing to my studio. 

I shrug, "I didn't think I was good enough. It's kind of something I've kept to myself all these years. Like you did..." 

"But I don't have a studio and write my own songs. It's just a hobby for me. For you, it seems like it's a huge part of your life." 

"It is... No one would understand though, why I like it so much." 

"I do." 

"Tell me, then. Why do I like music?" 

"It's your escape. You write all these songs, you're letting your emotions out. And these tapes, you listen to them a lot, don't you? You obviously play guitar a lot because of your calluses. How didn't I notice those before?" she giggles, looking at my fingers. 

"Maybe because you don't usually investigate someone's fingertips," I say laughing, "And you're right. That is why I like it." 

"See, I'm close to solving your puzzle! Aren't I?!" 

"Maybe," I tell her, smirking. 

The computer beeps, letting us know that the video is now on YouTube. Cami looks at me with wide eyes as I slowly walk over to the computer. I put it as a video response and hit send. Fingers crossed that they'll see it.

"MARCEL!!" 

I wake up to Cami's face right in front of me. I drove her home a few hours ago and she's already at my house. 

I sleepily rub my eyes, "What time is it?" 

"The video!!" 

"Did they see it?" I ask, groggily. 

"Did they see it?! 2,000 people have already seen it!" 

"Wait, what?" I bolt up from bed and start to run downstairs. 

"Marcel, you're in your. um, boxers. You need some pants..." Cami says. 

"Oh, yeah, oops," I say blushing and throwing on a pair of sweats. 

"Good morning, sweetie!" my mom says when I walk past her. 

"Yeah, sure," I say quickly. 

She furrows her eyebrows together and Cami giggles at my response. 

I log onto YouTube and click on our video. Cami's right. 2,376 views. How'd it get so many so quickly?! This is unbelievable. I scroll through the comments and smile at what people have written. People actually like us. They want more. 

"Have The Fray said anything about it?!" I ask her. 

"I'm not sure. Right when I woke up and saw our video, I drove over here since you weren't picking up your phone." 

"Well let's see!" 

I go to their channel, nothing yet. I shake my head, "Nope, they haven't seen it. Maybe they'll see it soon. They'll definitely see it." 

Cami's cellphone starts to ring. 

"Hello?" she asks, picking it up, "Yes, this is her. Yes. Really? Thursday? Okay, we'll see you then. Yes. Thank you! Bye!" 

She sits down beside me. 

"Who was it?" I ask. 

"That was The Fray." 

My eyes widen, "No way! Seriously?!" 

She nods her head quickly, "They want to meet us again on Thursday. They have something to tell us." 

"Like what?!" 

"They didn't say... But they saw it! They liked it!!" 

She jumps and hugs me tightly. 

"I told you that you could do it!" I tell her. 

She leans in closer to me, "I never should've doubted myself, huh?" 

"Nope," I say, quickly kissing her. 

I can't believe this is actually happening. 

Finally an update! My computer is hopefully fixed. It's fine right now. Just to clarify, it was a virus that pretended to be the government. It said my computer was suspended and I had to pay $300 to unsuspend it. I couldn't do anything on my computer. And the picture was just taken of me right when the virus occurred. I was itching my eye in the photo haha. I didn't send anything to someone, I wouldn't do that. Thankfully, my uncle knew how to fix it. 

I hope you like this and thank you for reading and commenting and being the best readers I could ask for. This is at #33 in Teen Fiction and Fan Fiction, all thanks to you. <3 I love you all.
