The Life Of Unwanted Jonases
Chapter 8
**Jessica's POV**
While Alex was off to her dance class, I was off to singing class. I'm not really physically capable of doing all the flips and jumps Alex does for dancing so I just sing. I've been singing my whole life, and I use it to avoid going home for a while. When I got out of Debate Club, I started heading to the music room. I looked in my purse for my Martina McBride CD. Not in there. Alex must have stolen it. Damn. Oh well, at least I know the song by heart. When I got in, I sat at the piano and played the song. I sang:
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, yeah,
You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, yeah, yeah
I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.
After the song, I couldn't help but cry. My life stinks. No parents, no brothers, nothing. Alex is all I have.
Suddenly, Chace walked in.
"Hey Jess, was that you singing?" He asked.
"Umm, yeah." I replied.
"You're great!"
"Thanks."
"Umm, I'm glad I caught you. I was wondering... do you wanna go out this weekend?"
"Umm, well...... ok!" I exclaimed. Damn my "wants-everyone-to-be-happy" additude.
"Great!!" Chace grinned."I'll pick you up at 7!" He said and left, grinning.
What did I just do?! I made a date with my sister's crush!
After chorus, I walked home, trying to ignore the fact that I would get beat up but thinking about the date with Chace. With that an idea popped into my head. I ran home to tell Alex. When I got in, Joe was there.
