Bendy sat around the auditorium, bugging Sammy Lawrence as usual. Just as he was about to leave, he caught me sneaking into the recording room.

I had just finished a little piece that I had been working on and was going to test record it to hear how it turned out.

The music started and my hips swung with the rhythm. The lyrics slipped through my glossed lips with ease as I hadn't noticed my audience.

Part way through my song, I overheard a soft humming from the other side of the glass. I looked up to see Bendy sitting there with his eyes closed as he happily followed along with my song.

I had never seen him so relaxed, so content. Continuing my recording was a little difficult.

I didn't want to disappoint him of all people. My biggest fear is appearing as a failure in front of the people I care about the most.

The song ended and he looked up at me. I was terrified to know what he thought.

"Wow doll, I didn't know you could sing so well! All I've ever heard up until now was you hummin' all the time" he said meeting me at the door.

"So....did you....like it? The song" I asked hesitantly.

"Like it? Hah!" He chuckled.

I turned away. That really hurt.

"Toots, I loved it! You should sing more often. I could listen to you all day!" He beamed taking my hand.

A soft giggle left my throat.

"Do you have any requests?"

"Just sing from the heart, I'll listen to whatever ya got"

"Hehe, as you wish"
