Why Did They Choose Me?

Chapter 3

*Vic's P.O.V*

The boy's and i were driving the the orphanage that we would be looking through and hopefully adopting a girl today. We parked outside the massive house and walked inside to reception to find an older lady that was probably in her 40's or 50's who i presumed to be Helen, "hello, you must be Vic" she said smiling warmly "that would be me, these are my friends Jaime and Tony and this is my little brother Mike" i said pointing to each the them as they said their hey's and hello's "you must be Helen" i said after the boys said there hello's "that would be me, and how many are you thinking about adopting today?" she said still smiling "just one" i said "okay, well we have 4 girl's here at the moment if you would wou-" her sentence was cut short after a girl with pastel pink hair holding a acoustic guitar looking at the ground had just walked out of what seemed to be the kitched "hello dear" Helen said smiling warmly at her "hello" she mumbled before walking into a front room probably not noticing us "that was Memphis, you can go and meet her if you like?" Helen said "sure" I said smiling back at her.

When we walked over to the room, we went in and heard her play Hold On Till May, fan i'm guessing, she started to sing as well "holly shit" i mumbled under my breath and i'm guessing heard me because he hit me in the arm "what? Her voice is fucking amazing!" i whispered to him, he nodded and agreed with me.

*Mike's P.O.V*

When we walked into the room we all stayed quiet because by the looks of it she was about the play something on her guitar, and to my surprise it was Hold On Till May, but what really surprised me was when she stared singing. Oh. My. God. She was amazing! And i'm guessing Vic and Tony though the same thing because i heard Vic mumble something under his breath and Tony nudging him in a way to tell him to shut the fuck up and Vic responded with "what? Her voice is fucking amazing" in a whisper and Tony nodded in agreement. But that's the thing, her voice is fucking amazing.

*Tony's P.O.V*

After she had finished playing Hold On Till May, she didn't give anyone enough time before she started to play another song that i had recognized, Miles Away by Memphis May Fire. Her voice, i cant find any words to describe it, its just, amazing. And the way she play's her guitar with so much passion, it's just, beautiful. I looked over to see Vic lost for words, staring at her and Mike and Jaime doing the same thing. I think everyone was lost for words, her voice and they way she played guitar was just breathtaking.

*Jaime's P.O.V*

This girl, i had no word's for how much passion she sung and played with. At the end of Miles Away, she looked to be on the verge of tears, like these songs meant a lot to her, we all stayed quiet because by the looks of it she was going to play another song, and she did. It was A Trophy Father's Trophy Son, tears were coming out of her eyes but she managed to keep her voice from cracking, it was just perfect, i also noticed that she was playing with her eyes closed, like she didn't want to cry too much during the song, but i don't know why she was crying, but i want to find out.

*Back to Vic's P.O.V*

When she finished A Trophy Father's Trophy Son, she began to cry, she set down her guitar and cried into her hands for a few minutes before she looked back over to her guitar and cried even harder and said to herself "i miss him so much" and Jaime being the type of person that doesn't like to see people cry, he went and sat down next to her and Mike, Tony and myself followed behind him, when he sat down she looked up her eye's widened, inhaled sharply and froze probably not knowing we were the the whole time, i decided to speak up first and said "hey" and smiled at her "uh, h-hello" she stuttered out "how long have you been watching me for?" she added on the end "all 3 songs" Jaime said probably smiling like a goofball "oh" was all she could manage to get out "i guess you were hoping we didn't hear you?" i asked, expecting a yes from her, considering how shocked she was when she noticed our presence in the room "uh, y-yeah, i usually don'y let people listen to me sing unless they sneak up on me" she said stuttering a bit "i'm guessing your a fan" Mike said pointing to her wristbands, and sure enough i saw one of ours, and he probably inferred the fast that she was because she sung Hold On Till May "yeah" she said quickly look away and picking up her guitar and fixed her eyes on it "well then i guess we probably don't need to introduce ourselves, right?" Jaime said "right" she said her eyes still fixed on her guitar "well, what you name then?" Tony said finally speaking up "My name is Memphis" Memphis said looking at us and smiling "nice name, well then Memphis, go pack your bags you're coming with us" i said smiling back at her
