Author's Note: Hi guys, thank you for the wait! I hope you are enjoying this fanfiction! Though this chapter is going to be very musical with many songs.

—------------------------------Daisy's perspective-----------------------------

I can't bear to see both Carmi and Jake upset because of the insensitivity of the Music club. I want them both to be able to express their passion out to the world. They both are talented, especially Carmi, who had shut her voice away after what happened with Drew. Both have suffered a lot just like the Music club.

"Hi Jake and Carmi," I say only to be greeted with silence.

Poor guys had really been hit hard. Jake looks like he didn't get enough sleep last night (probably from nightmares). Carmi just looks empty like something sucked out her happiness.

"I can't do this anymore! What's the point in trying?" Jake sighed.

(Jake immediately sings about his pain)

"You guys can't be depressed because of jerks. They can't see your pain, then just leave them because they don't deserve you," I say firmly, hoping it helps them, "I want you guys to try to be more open and imagine that no one can hurt you because you have me, Sadie, and most importantly each other."

I see something stir in Carmi's eyes. That's when I notice it's because Drew is standing there in front of her. "I know you hate me and I haven't been the nicest ever; however, just please hear me out. I have loved you but there was a secret organization that was tracking me down. I could feel it since I got my powers in 7th grade. I thought I was the only one with it so I withdrew and even was rude to you."

He took a breath and continued. "I wanted to keep you safe. I didn't know that they would be after both of us. I get it if you and Jake never forgive me because I'll just go away from your life to make you happy."

To my surprise, Carmi hugs him with tears making a stream down her cheeks. "I always believed that one day we would be together. I never thought for one second that you would hate me for eternity. All I want is you, Drew. Even if it seems like I'm just like you personality wise," Carmi sobs while hugging him.

Drew softened and for the first time in a very long time the twins were reunited. "Remember I love you, Drew. You are family to me."

And with that she adds, "Which means you are excused from me being eternally mad. Just don't break Jake again please. He helped me a lot."

Drew chuckles and says, "Promise I won't ever do that again. And I will not stand by Zoey anymore because she just got dumped."

"Are you guys done with the sappiness?" a voice calls out.

It was Athora. "Athora, what is it?"

"I need to give you guys some information because it includes you and Drew. Before I do, I'll let you know that I was supposed to kidnap you guys to bring to my Dad. That would end up with me and Sean together; however, I've seen how he is around you and that is not fake. He loves you but it might take some mending though. Anyhow, if you hate me then feel free to strike a punch at me," Athora explained.

"I honestly have had so many weird things happen to me that I don't even care," Carmi says, shrugging it off.

"Cool then this is what you should know. There are more people with magic powers. We are the fantasy that people dream up of. There are different types of these fantasy creatures which we call-"

"Innaturalis," me and Drew say at the same time.

"Nice, I'm not working with complete morons! Anyways, you guys are Aeternitas, which are a mix of a Chimera and Phoenix. It doesn't mean that you actually look like them but they do represent certain powers, such as when you were able to fly," Athora explained, grinning.

"What are you then?" Drew asked.

"Well I am actually a Satis, which is a mix of a Siren and Oni."

Jake coughed to hide his snicker. "You got a problem with it, Prince Charming?"

"No not at all, just explains why you were slow to admit that I'm handsome," Jake says arrogantly. He can be a knucklehead at times.

"Why you-" Athora growled before the bell cut her off.

"Well, that's all the time we have. Stay sharp and strong. If you are scared or careless then you'll end up with that stupid Monet guy."

And so she went with a bounce in her ponytail. The curls bounced along too. I wonder why she told us all that. My thoughts are cut off as I see Sean, who was my first crush until he broke Carmi's heart.

—----------------------------Sean's perspective--------------------------------

Man, this is how I repay Carmi with when she gave me trust. I messed up so badly but I can't get myself to correct it. That's how I am in bed laying down with my phone. I've tried different messages but not a single one seems right. I sigh and try shaking her out of my head but it's like ignoring my parents on a Saturday night.

(Music starts and Sean really misses Carmi. He's still in bed By the way, if it's bolded then it means both Carmi and Sean is singing)

https://youtu.be/1-jDf3viqeQ

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

I know your favorite song
I hear it every day
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way

And every time you laugh
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing
To love you, but not know how

(Now we are in Sean's imagination. It shows how he's been hurt by his parents and how his parents fight so much that they neglect him)

So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away

(Now it shows how he's been really happy with Carmi. Then the memories of the fight comes back and it shows Carmi walking away from Sean's life)

I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
That we were made for each other
But I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me

(Now it also shows where Carmi is when she's alone in school. Carmi has tears falling from her eyes. Sean is still in his room but is singing with her)

What good are words
When they always just get in our way?
And it hurts the most just to know
That you don't feel the same, the same

So sometimes, I get down on my knees
And I pray things will change
But life is what happens when things
They don't work out our way, our way

(It's back to Sean and he is still in bed but he is tucked up and holding his knees)

So I spend all my nights in the dark and afraid
'Cause I've tried to forget you
But these things just don't go away, away

(Both high schoolers are now singing together both sitting and holding their knees. Carmi is sitting in the hallway and Sean is still in bed)

I hate that you're perfect, perfect for me
If I didn't know better, then I would believe
We were made for each other
But I'd know the truth
You're no good for me, I'm no good for you
And I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me (Oh yeah)
I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me

(At the end, Carmi get up with a tear falling from her left eye. It goes to Sean, who had gotten ready for school)

"Sean Robert Everett, you better be ready for school," my Mom yells from below.

I sigh and just get ready. As usual they are fighting. I just walk to school and meet up with Zander, Luke, and Hailey. Milly was busy with some school work she forgot to finish.

"Look guys, it's not our fault that Carmi chose a backstabber over us. We should all just move on," Zander said with sadness in his eyes.

"Man, and I thought Drew would be more dense than you guys," a dry voice said. It was Sadie.

Sadie had scared most of the Music club as she continued, "Didn't you listen to a single word she said?"

"Doesn't matter, she betrayed us and that's that."

"You have no idea about Jake and Carmi's hardships."

That got me. She had said that Zander was just like Caspian. Caspian was the worst bully out of all the Seniors. Moreover, he sweet talked girls into being his girlfriend but he always wanted money from them. All his ex-girlfriends did suicide because of him.

"It has something to do with Caspian Ambrose right?" I ask.

She nodded and said, "Meet me at the student government building at lunch. I can explain more only if you're willing to go the extra mile."

And so I was left wondering about what Carmi's past was along with Jake's. What is really going on about them?

—---------------------------Hailey's perspective-------------------------------

At lunch

We met Sadie up at the student government building. She was with the usually cheerful and optimistic Daisy. Both were shooting us looks that could've killed us. Zander was impatient because of his precious time.

"Well? You said you'd tell us exactly what happened with Carmi," Zander snapped impatiently.

"It all started when it was the middle of the Freshman year. Caspian Ambrose was a hit with all the ladies and still is to this day. He played around with many girls' hearts and broke them. Carmi was a victim of it too. At first she thought he was joking because they were friends. Eventually she gave in and they started dating. She gave her heart, time, everything to him. He was just as close as Jake is to her. One day she followed him and found out that the relationship was never real. Caspian only wanted her for money, just like Zoey did for Drew. From that day on, Carmi shut herself away from people. She was always polite but never grew close," Sadie explained in her usual dry tone.

"Big deal, a guy broke her heart. Just get back up," Zander says, waving it off.

Daisy, who was red with madness, then made a fist and she snapped with her baby blue eyes burning, "Like Sadie said, she trusted him just as much as Jake! And she would die for Jake just like how a sibling would! That's why she never told you guys! Because you guys think it's easy but it's not! She's human and she breaks also! You treat her and Jake as if they are the odd ones out! Jake has been bullied since kindergarten and so Carmi is very protective of him! They both have suffered much more than you guys so stop being caught up in what was wrong!"

It was a lot to take in. I've never seen Daisy this mad before. Actually, I've never even seen her mad. Everyone is now feeling guilty, including me. Daisy took a deep breath and said, "We all forget that we are human. While doing that, we get so consumed in hate that we never know that someone is crying out in pain. They were always invisible and you guys never noticed the silent pain you put on both of them. I thought encouraging Jake to join you guys would help him grow confident about his passion. Turns out all I did was hurt poor Jake. Just remember this though: at the end of the day whether we are mean, loners, nerds, we are still people that are carrying the heavy pain in our chests."

With that, Luke's eyes were on the ground, Zander had his eyes closed in pain, Milly had her hands on her mouth with a surprised face, and Sean's body was shaking a lot.

"That is a lot to go through," Sean said with realization.

"Yeah, let's face it. She trusted you guys but ended up hurt because of you guys," Daisy said, leaving with Sadie with posters of animal shelters.

I feel guilty now. We didn't even listen to Carmi or Jake. She was in so much pain.

"Wait, you said you'd explain Jake's past also!" I called out.

Sadie turned around and simply said, "Jake's been bullied since kindergarten. He has had a hard time opening up about his passion. Carmi has been protecting Jake since then. I thought it would be noticeable."

Then they left us to regret our actions.

—--------------------------Carmi's perspective--------------------------------

I can't stop thinking about how I'm always beating myself up after what someone does to me emotionally. I've already had some close calls with the inability to control my powers (apparently whenever I'm in a mood now, it makes my powers go beyond what I can control) with some help from Drew. I've got to be strong or else I'll go back to my Ambrose aftershock version of me.

I go to Jake and say, "Jake, I'm sick of feeling sorry for what I didn't do right. I want us both to be as happy as we were with the Music club, so what I'm proposing is that we do a concert where people will listen to our voices."

Jake's once dull eyes are now shining with recognition. "You really want to sing in front of people again?!"

"Yes, I can't doubt myself anymore. I won't succumb to what they gained. This time I'll make them feel like it's their loss that they lost me."

Jake smiled for the first time in forever. "Alright then my star lady, let's get prepared. We'll both do it and show ourselves to the world."

It took a few days before we decided to host the concert at Stacy's Mamamia Pizzeria. This was going to be a great performance this time and I would not cower under people that are missing out on me. Finally the day came and me and Jake saw the many people that came. Some of them came from Rosemeadow High.

"Ready Jakey Boy?" I ask cautiously.

"Ready as I'll ever be. After all, the ladies will love me as I am," Jake said confidently.

I roll my eyes at that statement. Anyways it's good to see him happy after Zoey got suspended for a week because of what she did (long story short, she sent the recording out to the school and I told on her with Drew). Henry and Liam are more supportive about music now (meaning Henry can finally show his support for music). Henry pulls me aside for a moment.

"Um Carmi, I have something for you to hear. I've been working on this for a very long time."

"Cool, what is it?"

"It's a song dedicated to you. I wanted you to hear it."

(Please note that Henry worked hard in perfecting this particular song for Carmi)

When he ended it, I hugged him and said, "That was really beautiful, Henry! I loved it!" He turned red but accepted it. I feel like Henry is hiding something. He always blushes when I compliment him now, gets nervous when I'm mad (way more than usual), will do anything I want him to do, and more. I went off to the stage anyway and me and Jake entered to sing our songs.

(The last one may be old but I wanted the concert to end with a happy duet)

It was a total success! Everyone loved our songs and wanted us to sing again some other time. It felt nice that people noticed me for who I am. People were nice for the first time, even the Rosemeadow High kids that came loved it. Zoey was there and she rolled her eyes at it. No one cared about her anymore. This was my proudest moment since I've never felt this loved.

—-------------------------------The next day------------------------------------

Everyone noticed me for once! People high fived me and many more. Drew had somehow made me and music popular. Now everyone wants to go to the Band Competition because of the music and not Jake. I saw Caspian then come up to me. Drew and everyone glares at him, including me.

"Hey Cara, I was thinking about how I messed up a lot. I want another shot since I broke up with that double crossing brat."

I pretend to think about it and Drew smirks at him because he knows what I'm going to say (he read my mind). "Forget it, you left me broken and in tears. Moreover, you still lie because you are still with Zoey and you still want more money because she is grounded and her parents cut off her allowance. So don't even think about it."

He was surprised. He should be since I had grown from when he ditched me. "You heard my little sister so get lost, loser. If you take a step toward her then I'll handle you myself," Drew said in his usual bored and menacing tone that he uses to threaten.

"Yeah dude, you're not cool. You already did a lot of damage," Henry said darkly.

Caspian then scowled and said, "You're forgetting that I'm a Senior and that I'm nicknamed the Blue Love Bull."

"And nobody will ever care," everyone, including me, said in unison.

He then went off and scowled. The Senior girls blushed and started gossiping about Caspian. I sighed and went on with my usual routine. Now whenever I pass by the Music club, they look guilty. I don't know why they feel guilty now but I don't care. I'm done with them making me feel guilty about something I never did.
