I just nod. More tears begin to run down my face. "Ok. Ok. I understand." I just stand up and watch him sit there.

"What is going on?" I ask. I've never been more confused.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I wish I could do something. But I have no idea what to do. I don't even fully comprehend who these people are or what is going on.

"I-I c-c-can't." I accept the hug. I turn to Amala. "His f-f-friend died." I hug him tighter. You have to forget it Em, you have to.

"I.... kind of gathered," i say. Now i feel like an idiot. Angsting over family problems in the past when this poor kid's friend just died. "But..... you know what? Forget it." I mutter. I give up. I am no longer fit for polite society.

"N-no. What happened?" I looked over to her. Maybe she can move my mindset. I let go of Percy and sat down next to him.

"You need to talk... it helps." I am such a hipocrit "By the way, your music is beautiful. You could sing about it?" I smiled the best I could.

"Oh, um....... I suppose. I mean- I could just sing. If that would help him," I mutter, glancing at the kid in the corner. "Maybe?"

"It would help you and me and him." We all have something holding us down, don't we.

"Whatever." I thought back to when she was playing earlier. "Why don't you play that other song? And maybe you can finish it this time?" I awkwardly laughed a bit.

"Oh.... um.... ok, I guess. I mean, if you like that kind of.... depressing music." I mutter, turning back to the piano.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I watched her prepare for the song. I really enjoyed her music for some reason. I guess it reminded me of my family a bit. The way he used to play, I reminded myself.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I decide not to go back to the song I had been playing, and pick something at random from my binder. One, by U2. Slowly, I start the intro. "Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now, you've got someone to blame? You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night. One love, we get to share it. Leaves you baby if you don't care for it."

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I smiled and hummed along. I want to tell her how amazing she is and how her talents are so beautiful without sounding weird. I glanced over at Percy, still sitting there. I looked back to Amala and watched her fingers on the keys.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I stop in the middke of the song. "Not to sound wierd, or anything, but do you want to sing with me? I can harmonize around you!" Then I blush. I must sound like such a freak.

"Uhm... sure." I give her my best smile. "I'm not the best singer though." I clear my throat and begin to sing with her where she left off.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I simply restart from the chorus, this time singing the harmony part. I feel that familiar rush of harmony adreneline- that special high I get from singing with other people.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I see a change in her face when we begin singing again. Something... special. I give her looks whenever I get a little out of tune. I don't think she really cares though.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I can't help but hear every time the other gorl goes out of tune. But it doesn't matter. Nothing matters except for the music I can never seem to keep bottled up inside.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I kept singing along until the song was done. "I'm going to start over. Hi, I'm Rose, not your usual daughter of Aphrodite. You?" I smiled and tried not to show my extreme uncomfortableness with the situation.

Re: Practice Practice Practice
I smile. "I'm Amala, daughter of Apollo. I'm about as stereotypically and unsterotypically Apollo kid as possible. Obsessed with music, can't fight or shoot arrows worth crap."
