Will's Point

We stayed there for a while and just talked it was nice to catch up with my mom and to have Nico meet her.

As we were saying goodbye my dad's phone rang.

"Hello?" Dad said

"Yes. of course" Dad said with a smile before he held the phone out to me.

I took the phone curiosity wondering who would call my dad and ask for me

"Hello?" I asked

"This is A... we met yesterday"

"I'm calling about the job offer, would you be able to meet today?"

"Oh, yeah I can meet today" I said shocked she wanted to meet this soon.

"Great! Your father knew the address" she said excitedly

"Wait, what time?" I asked

"Now would be great, but I understand if that's too soon"

"Will?" Nico asked

"A lady I met yesterday wants to meet with me for a job" I said

"That's amazing" Nico said

"What time does she want to meet you?" Jason asked

"Now, But I don't want to inconvenience anyone" I said

"It's not a problem" Jason said

"Are you sure?" I asked

"Absolutely" Jason said

"Go blow them away" Mom said with a smile which I returned

"I'll go now" I said to A

"That's wonderful! See you soon!"

I handed the phone back to my dad and he placed it in his pocket.

"I'll visit you again soon" I said as I gave my mom a hug

We all got back in the car as Kayla wheeled my mom back into the hospital.

"What's the job intel?" Nico asked as my dad gave Jason directions

"All I know is I'll be singing and she doesn't care that I'm gay" I said

"No one should" Nico said

"Your father's really mad isn't he?" I asked

"Yeah, he wants me to marry a woman have a family and take over for him. But I don't want to take over for him and why would I want anyone besides you" Nico said making me blush a little

I intertwined my fingers in his and leaned into him.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with all this" I said

"You don't have to be sorry, none of it's your fault" Nico said

"Just know that I'll always be here for you" I said

"And I'm always here for you" Nico said

After about 10 minutes the car pulled to a stop.

"I haven't been here in years" Dad said.

"Are you sure this is it?" I asked.

The place we had stopped at was so big it looked like a college campus.

"They work with more than music" Dad said

"What all do they do?" I asked

"Music, Poetry, astronomy, writing, and studying history" Dad said

"How do you know so much about them? Are you old colleagues?" Nico asked

"You could say that, I helped build all this" Dad said

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah, now let's get you to the music building" Dad said

When we walked in Euterpe was waiting for us by the door.

"So glad you could come on such short notice" Euterpe said.

"Follow me back to the studio, your friends and boyfriend can wait here or come back with you I don't mind" Euterpe said

"I'd like to go with you if that's ok" Nico said

"I'm fine with that," I said with a smile

We all follow Euterpe to the studio since Jason and Reyna were Nico's bodyguards they also came.

"This is where you'll do most of your work" Euterpe said

"Do you want me to do the paperwork first?" I asked

"We can do that later" Euterpe said

"Right now I'd like you to sing your first song for the radio" Euterpe said

"But it's already on the radio" I said a little confused

"I mean the original, unless it always sang about a girl" Euterpe said.

"Are you sure?" I asked

"Absolutely! People should know there's nothing wrong with it, I'd also like to make a music video for it in the future" Euterpe said with a smile.

"I'd love to" I said with a wide smile happy to be able to be me without judgment.

"Right in here" Euterpe said as she opened the door.

I walked in and sat on the single chair and Euterpe adjusted the microphone in front of me so it was the right level then she left and went over the the controls on the other side of a large glass window.

"When ever your ready" Euterpe said though a speaker.

I took a deep breath and began to sing.

Everytime I had sang this before Mr. Di Angelo had always reminded me to sing in "properly" so I sang softly as a small part of my mind said it wasn't right

"You don't need to be nervous" Euterpe said over the speaker.

I tired again and I still couldn't let the feeling go.

"Will" Nico said over the speaker and I looked at him.

"You don't need to hide anymore" Nico said then after a small pause he spoke again

"I believe in you" Nico said with a smile and all the negative feelings washed away.

I smiled back and sang from my heart.

"Some seem to see me as strange cause of my ways.

Like how I dream of holding his hand down at the bay,
A knee on the ground as I ask him to be mine
Or our wedding day while his looking so fine.

But no matter what people say I'll keep on believing.

And if they try to change who I am then I'll be leaving." I sang while smiling at Nico.
